As part of the preparation for their debut
album, Wolfgang submitted demos of two original compositions, "Darkness Fell" and "Left Alone", to local radio
stations DWRT 99.5 and
DWLA 105.9 in 1994, which generated many listener requests. The band signed
with Tone Def, the rock label of local independent Ivory Records. Wolfgang
released its first album, the eponymous Wolfgang,
in 1995. The band flexed their artistic skills recording the album, with Basti
Artadi responsible for the cover art, rendering caricatures of himself and the
other band members amidst earthy symbols, beer bottles and cigarettes, and
Manuel Legarda using an electric fan to simulate an effect he had in mind for
the song “Cast of Clowns”. Wolfgang went Platinum in less than
a year. Their songs experienced regular airplay in both DWLA 105.9 and DWNU
107.5.
Darkness Fell
And so she woke up from a dream
That was beautiful starry and so wild
It was all still clear in her eyes
And though her mind was foggy
And blank she wondered why
Her life couldn't be as lovely
It was time...
There was this king he had no castle or throne
But his horse was great and white
He rode alone and liked it that way
But when he met her he swore
He would never leave her side...
They rode across the land
Two lovers hand in hand
And no danger could come near
And when something made her cry
She'd look at him teary eyed
And he would make her feel better
Oh so much better so much better than before
And now this forest was their home
It was a night time
And the right time for love
In the dark
She placed her hand upon his chest
And all the rest just flowed
Makin' love down under an ancient far away night
It was so grand just holdin' someone's hand
And now safety came naturally
It was so clear that she would never
Ever have to fear
Oh tell me a story of magic and spiralling ships
And stars in the night
Just whisper in my ears
Make it soft but make it clear
I want to hear every breath you say
He placed his hand upon her breast
But she woke up from the land
Tears falling in her hands
As she looked up askin' why
She laid back in her bed
Thoughts raising in her head
Why can't my life be beautiful she said
As she closed her eyes again
Just prayin' he'd return
But only Darkness Fell upon her...
That was beautiful starry and so wild
It was all still clear in her eyes
And though her mind was foggy
And blank she wondered why
Her life couldn't be as lovely
It was time...

But when he met her he swore
He would never leave her side...
