The Hearse Song (Worms Crawl In) - Traditional song. A (somewhat late) Halloween special!

Details

Description

So, at first I was planning to premiere a new original song this weekend. But then I figured: hey, it's Halloween - let's do something extra macabre. And then I got caught up in other things and didn't upload it until today.

"The Hearse Song" AKA "Worms Crawl In" is a traditional song that probably has it's origins around the time of World War I but nobody knows for sure. Noone knows who originally wrote it either and it has been recorded and performed by many artists in many versions through the years, so there are a lot of variations both musically and lyrically between the different versions although the basic theme of death and human decomposition and the phrase "the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out" appears in most versions.

I figured it would make a fitting tune for Halloween and my version is mostly based on more modern interpretations by artists such as Harley Poe and Rusty Cage.

So well...if you're afraid of the vulnerability of the human body or have a weak stomach be warned. And: HAPPY (BELATED) HALLOWEEN!
