GUEST,JB3 Depressive ghost songs (34) RE: Depressive ghost songs 01 Oct 02


"The Wife of Usher's Well," or actually, "The Lady Gay," as the version I sing is called, is quite haunting. (literally!) A mother sends her three children off to learn witchcraft, they die and come back to see her one last time, only to tell her, "Every tear that you shed for us, it wets our winding sheet." I also like "The Unquiet Grave," where the living girl haunts the dead boy's grave until he rises up to ask "Who is this sits upon my grave and will not let me sleep?" "Long Black Veil" is another instance of the living haunting the dead!
