Dark Magic

Since this is the music post and since it is so close to Halloween; I have decided to share music I like that has the theme “dark” in it or around it. I was inspired by Morticia Addams as I watched The Addams Family. Enjoy!

  1. Melody Gardot: Your Heart is as Black as Night
  2. Charles Gounod: Funeral March of a Marionette
  3. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Requiem in D Minor
  4. Bruce Springsteen: Dancing in the Dark
  5. Fall Out Boy: My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark

Plus a few extras!

  1. Lana Del Rey: Dark Paradise
  2. Frederic Chopin: Funeral March (Piano Sonata No 2 in B Flat Minor)
  3. Ludwig Van Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata

The Music Tells the Story

Did you know that Halloween is a week away? I can’t believe it! I am more mad that the whole season escaped me then about anything else going on right now and that includes the exorbitant amount of money I have had to pay out during this transition of my life. I am determined to make the most of it for the last week. In fact, I made a trip to one of my favorite fall spots this week: Sauvie Island.  It was a lot of fun just hanging out with my Mom while she is here helping me unpack. Thank heavens for Mom’s and Dad’s!! I don’t know about your families but I do know that I got stuck with some of the most wonderful people in the world! 🙂

Since this is the music post; I decided to do something a little different. I am going to share my top 5 classical music songs that remind me of fall or Halloween. Got to get in the mood right? 🙂

What songs remind of fall and/or Halloween? Please share!!
