A Haunting Weekend Mix – Weekend Four

Welcome back to our third musical weekend of haunting and thrilling sounds~

This weekend’s theme is…

EERIE and HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL and CLASSICAL TUNES

…or what I like to call, “The Music Box” edition of our haunting mix.

Keep in mind — not every song on these playlists will be on your typical Halloween themes.

I tend to enjoy and respond to music as it moves me, so it’s very likely some songs will have NOTHING to do with Halloween at all. It’s just… a feeling you get when you hear them, y’know? Something silly which always makes you think of the trick-or-treatin’ pranks you did as a kid… or that haunting, chilling sensation you get when a song plays that makes you shiver or perhaps want to waltz outside under a moonlit sky.

These are far more of the darker variety, although a good many are simple somber with a hint of death lingering about…

As always, my hope is that these songs will move you as they do me.

A Little Music For Our Lost Souls [HauntoberFest Special]

I hope everyone remembers Thursday’s post on Poppy Z. Brite’s delightful novel, Lost Souls.

I was thinking on it and remembered that… when I had first read the book (ages ago) I had loved it so much that I’d made an epic playlist for it.

Had to do some digging to find all the songs for it again, but here it is in all its glory:

Lost Souls FST

The Cover

The Back

[ ~ Listen ~ ]

01. Sweet Surrender – Sarah McLachlan
Ann’s Image Song

02. I Know – Fionna Apple
Christian’s Image Song

03. I’m Like A Bird – Nelly Furtado
Ghost’s Image Song

04. 2:45 AM – Eillott Smith
Nothing’s Image Song

05. Shiver – Coldplay
Steve’s Image Song

06. After The Flesh – My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
Molochai & Twig’s Image Song

07. Heresy – Nine Inch Nails 
Zillah’s Image Song

08. Dead Souls – Nine Inch Nails
Ghost’s 2nd Image Song

09. Hotel California – Eagles
Steve & Ghost’s Image Song

10. Trust – Megadeth
Steve & Ann’s Image Song

11. Thinking Of You – A Perfect Circle
Steve & Ann’s 2nd Image Song

12. Imagine – A Perfect Circle
Ghost’s 3rd Image Song

13. The Hollow – A Perfect Circle
Zillah, Molochai, Twig, Nothing & Christian’s Image Song
Notes? This song is meant for all the Vampires, specifically these 5.

14. The Outsider – A Perfect Circle
Christian’s song for Zillah, Molochai, Twig & Nothing
Notes? I can see Christian saying this to the entire new, wilder and giddily murderous generation of Vampire, not just these 4.

15. #1 Crush – Garbage
Zillah & Nothing’s Image Song

16. Use Me – Garbage
Nothing’s 2nd Image Song
Notes? I see Nothing saying this to Zillah, for the most part. Though I could see him saying to just about anyone really. This poor kid is so needy and wanting for love that I don’t think he’d really care WHERE it came from, just so long as he was loved and was able to fit in somewhere (though we all know he’d prefer it to be at Zillah’s side among his Vampire kind). I swear throughout the whole novel I was wanting badly to HUG that kid. o_o;; He really REALLY needs a hug. XD;;; I mean… his life’s pretty fucked up. XD

17. Self Control – Raf
Theme Song (Ver. 01)
Notes? Think of it like this… If there was ever a movie, this would be the song played as it’s theme. I know it’s not the BEST song in the world and most likely anyone could find something better, but I really love this song and not only that but I also love this song to death and I wanted it in here somewhere. Besides! It fits for the Vampires and also “those children of the night”.

18. Self Control – Laura Branigan
Theme Song (Ver. 02)
Notes? See above. This is the same song, just by a different artist. I actually heard this one first. Liked it better, but both have gotten ahold of me and now I can’t listen to one without listening to the other.

19. Hear Me Out – Frou Frou
Ann, Nothing & Steve’s Image Song

20. Maddening Shroud – Frou Frou
Nothing’s 3rd Image Song

21. Trust – L’Arc~en~Ciel
Ghost & Nothing’s Image Song

I really do hope you enjoy! I’ll definitely be listening to this again as the hours drag on this lovely Saturday morn.

A Haunting Weekend Mix – Day One, Weekend One

Welcome to our first musical weekend of haunting and thrilling sounds~

My original plan had been to break the playlists into a Part One and a Part Two to be posted each day of the weekend, but that might not go down so well considering how busy I’ll be this month. We’ll see. This weekend, as you can already see, I’ll be only posting today, but hopefully next weekend I’ll have everything ready for Saturday AND Sunday.

I have been racking my brains trying to figure out how to group the music over the next five weekends, and finally decided on some themes which I hope you will enjoy. 😉

Over the course of the month, I’ll reveal each theme as we go along. This weekend’s theme is…

CAMPY, FUNNY, SILLY THEME SONGS & CLASSIC HALLOWEEN TUNES

Keep in mind — not every song on these playlists will be on your typical Halloween themes.

I tend to enjoy and respond to music as it moves me, so it’s very likely some songs will have NOTHING to do with Halloween at all. It’s just… a feeling you get when you hear them, y’know? Something silly which always makes you think of the trick-or-treatin’ pranks you did as a kid… or that haunting, chilling sensation you get when a song plays that makes you shiver or perhaps want to waltz outside under a moonlit sky.

Whatever it is, hopefully these songs will move you as they do me.
