Halloween 2022: Halloween Day
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Song: “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe
Quote:
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

Halloween 2022: Day 30
It’s Halloween Eve, and this is a favorite of mine! This quote, in particular, is one of my favorite lines from any song.
Song: “Crazy Mary”
Quote:
That which you fear most could meet you halfway.

Halloween 2022: Day 29
Song: “Ghost”
Quote:
In the wind, there’s a lonesome sound.
In the night, there’s a cry from the hill country ground.
It’s a hum from an ancient tone.
It’s a presence. I can feel it in my bones.
Somethin’ I can’t see has been surroundin’ me,
There’s a ghost trying to talk through me.

Halloween 2022: Day 28
Song: “Graveyard Blues”
Quote:
I got up this morning,
With the blues all around my bed.
I got up this morning,
With blues all around my bed.
I had a dream last night
The one that I loved was dead.

Halloween 2022: Day 27
Song: “Down in the Willow Garden”
Quote:
My father often told me
That money would set me free,
If I’d but murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connely.

Halloween 2022: Day 26
Song: “Darlin’ Cory”
Quote:
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadows.
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground.
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadows,
Gonna lay darlin’ Cory down.
There are many versions of this song. Read more here.
