Valentine’s Day Single Now Available – Loveless in Loch Ness
Fangs and Twang takes on a topic more mysterious than sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie’s love life. ‘Loveless in Loch Ness’ is a story of a fleeting affair with a tourist, “I posed for a photo then you left me solo, alone with my ego bruised”. A heartbroken Nessie is left to wonder if love really isn’t a universal language, “Potato potahtoe a loch or a lake, the differences you couldn’t take”. Unfortunately, there isn’t a happy ending, “I’m realizing our love was capsizing In this lake , this Loch Ness mess”.
