PDF David L Harrison,Hans Wilhelm | 32 pages | 22 Feb 2011 | Random House USA Inc | 9780375866777 | English | New York, United States Is Monster Hunter Rise Coming to PC? Answered The track was released on 5 June in the UK and subsequently reached No. It is The Automatic's highest charting single to date in the United Kingdom. The track's music was composed by James Frost and Robin Hawkinswith the original incarnation featuring a different chorus, both musically and lyrically. However the band decided first to change the music before deciding to rewrite the chorus's lyrics. The chorus was planned to have a fairytale- esque theme to it, with keyboardist and vocalist A Monster Is Coming! Pennie penning the idea which would become the track's famous lyric "What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Originally however, the lyric was used just to fill the chorus until a more suitable A Monster Is Coming! was A Monster Is Coming!, but over time the lyric stuck and so was eventually used when the band recorded a demo of it in Many of the lyrics used in "Monster" are metaphors for drug and drink intoxication; "brain fried tonight through misuse" and "without these pills you're let loose"with the chorus 'monster' lyric A Monster Is Coming! a metaphor for the monster that comes out when people are intoxicated. The original demo of "Monster" featured more prominent synthesizers, with some different vocals, including more gang vocals during the chorus and distorted backing vocals during the verses and bridge.
