How about that song that just stays in your head and you can't get rid of it. Haunting isn't it? A song is a relatively short musical composition for the human voice (commonly accompanied by other musical instruments), which generally (exceptions would be scat songs) features words (lyrics).

Many songs are written for many reasons some about all the things in the world. But many or about the real ghost and the things that haunt us. Often songs are written about lost love and friendships. And some songs take on a haunted or haunting story as time goes on. The Ghost Song, The Doors - Greatest Hits [Elektra], and was released on An American Prayer in 1978, 7 years after Jim Morrison's death in Paris, France. The song is Morrison's poetry recording with the rest of the band's music. Part of the song "indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding" refers to a childhood experience, where him and his family where driving down a desert highway and they pass 3 truckloads of indian workers. He says that, during that experience, the souls of the dead indian workers just leapt into his soul and stayed there until his death.

The Doors-The Ghost Song

Even the ever great song dedicated to ghost hunters every where Ghost Busters, is a great ghost song. Many songs written about ghosts or album titles carry the theme Bernie Taupin's "Show Us Your Ghosts", or Crash Test Dummies, "The Ghosts That Haunt Me". Or What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost?) by Taking Back Sunday. And who could over look Ghost Riders in the Sky, and the Late great Ruby Starr of Grey Ghost.

Some songs just seem to attach themselves to people living and dead. It could be just a favorite song they liked in life or something dedicated to them in memoriam. Some believe the recordings by long dead artists Singers and Song Writers like, Jim Morrison, Bobby Darren, Janis Joplin, Richie Vallens, John Lennon, The Big Bopper, Jimi Hendrix and those like Mama Cass Elliot and Tommy Boyce not only keep their spirits attached to us by their songs, but it's part of what they loved so much in life that they cling to their music even in death.

Other believe their still making music in the after world playing their songs. Can you imagine the afterlife with the greatest singers and musical legends playing to the throngs of fans. Whether their playing their worst song or saving the best for last it would be a show not to miss.

I often wonder what a show in the other world must be like... Standing in the clouds. Tommy Boyce's music still often haunts me no matter where I go, a Monkee's song, the theme to days of our lives. I wonder what he's doing tonight?

Does a song touch you so deep it haunts you?

Have you ever been haunted by the words of a song? So much you play it over and over again just to get it's meaning. Or because it does you something inside with your emotions. It Means something stronger to you then what the song writer meant to capture in the first place. Or is it it they are on the same page with you in their standings and beliefs.

Laredo, Play It Loud by Chris Cage is an example of a song taking on a life and haunting those that hear it and it's story. “There’s a very touching story Cagle tells on his enhanced CD example of a strong bond between a child and his teddy bear,” Paranormal investigator Gina Lanier says sadly. “The child’s family was convinced that the boy was receiving much of his strength and his will to live from his companion teddy bear. Not only this, he also found strength in the words and messages he heard in Cagle’s music. In the end, he wanted Cagle to have that bear, and that’s how it went.”

After completing his task as bedside companion to a dying boy, Laredo the Teddy Bear now lives with Chris Cagle, his presence a constant reminder of the value of life and the bond between a boy and his companion. The telling of the story by Chris Cagle on his enhanced cd video shows the emotion it brought up in him while telling the story it is very powerful to watch and heart touching to experience.

It's funny how Cagle's song haunts me, it gives me a feeling I just can't explain since I heard the story told by him personally.

The Dead Love Their Music

A police officer and have seen some strange calls but the one day he had his first ghost call. John Trussell of Richardson,TX was dispatch to a call where a lady had heard music coming from a room which music should not have been coming from. When i arrived i contacted the lady who was in her 70"s but was quite together. She said that she could hear music coming from her deceased husband"s workshop which was located in a room within the garage. She further advised her husband had past away almost 3 years ago this week. She gave me the keys to the room which only she has and no one else lives with her. I could hear music coming from the room which was locked. I opened the door and saw a two way intercom box on a desk.

From the intercom box Big Band era music was blaring. The odd thing was the intercom was not equipped to play music or receive music. I asked her where the other intercom was and she said it had been put away after her husband died.

Apparently her husband use to listen to Big band music while working in the workshop. The area where the intercom was sitting was covered with dust and cobwebs and there was no indications that anyone had been in the room for sometime. She was a little shaken by the whole event and we never did figure how the system had been turned on. I unplugged it for her and told her that if continued to play music then she would need to seek a more divine service!

Many remember the appearance of Actor David Selby as Quentin Collins Ghost featured in the 1967-1971 ABC soap opera television series Dark Shadows. In December of 1968, Quentin originally appeared as an angry malevolent spirit haunting the playroom in the West Wing of Collinwood (along with the ghost of his lover Beth Chavez). Each time he appeared his haunting music Quentin's Theme played.

QUENTIN'S THEME Charles Randolph Grean Shadows of the night... Falling silently Echo of the past... Calling you to me Haunting memory... Veiled in misty glow Phantom melody... Playing soft and low In this world that we know now Life is here, then gone But somewhere in the afterglow Love lives on and on Dreams of long ago... Meet in rendezvous Shadows of the night... Calling me to you Calling me to you

The Dan Curtis Dark Shadows Series used many musical interludes and specific music to introduce it's ghost, vampires and werewolves with notables such as Josette's music box theme and the children's haunted playroom to name a few.

Tommy Boy Recorded by Dave Heushkel 2005

I'm livin with the memories of my younger brother Tom
Some days are worse than others, and they seem to drag along
My new found faith in heartache paints a picture true and sad
as I look in the eyes of Tommy's Mom and Dad.
And the worst of times they just don't seem so bad

I remember many times, a whole lot, more than a few.
The gift of girls and alcohol would help us make it through
we left each other smiling and we loved each other bad
and I think of the eyes of Tommy's Mom and Dad
And the worst of times they just don't seem so bad

But if you please, the apologies
They seem so empty and alone
they'll never bring my brother home
and I have sworn, to always mourn
The passing of my younger brother Tom
and the days, they seem, to always drag along

I'm living with the heartbreak of 100,000 men
but happiness it finds me every now and then again
so I sit and write my feelings in the messages of song
And this one's for my beautiful brother Tom
and the days without you seem to drag along

But if you please, the apologies
They seem so empty and alone
they'll never bring my brother home
and I have sworn, to always mourn
The passing of my younger brother Tom
and the days, they seem, to always drag along

and I confess that I won't rest
until you meet me at the pearly gates
and if you make me, I'll stand there and wait
cause I know your comin at the end of life's long haul
Now Tommy boy don't forget the girls and the alcohol.

When I first heard the song myself last year a friend had sent me the My page link. The song is very haunting and one of those that makes you feel good inside. I actually felt as if a hand was holding mine and if someone hugged me from the other side. I admit it I cried the first time I heard the song it really touched me. I also know that Tommy had set up a my space page the day before he died and a link is on it from his site.

EVPS in Music

Baghdad Holiday by Stendec (Listen Here) is a song that might just contain a few actual EVPs' in the background that just happened during the recording of the song. At least that's what their lead Singer "J" and fellow band mates believe. If you put on your head phones and turn up the volume you can here her crying at one point and another time saying quite clearly " I'm Jackie!" you can actually hear a few ghostly voices he says other then hers too." Many say they here it as plain as your hear the music others just don't, " says " J". I guess some Evp's are not meant for everyone to experience." He states to those that just don't hear it.

A Brand new aged band called" I like Purple Mascara" says that they actually put real EVP's that they capture on many of their ghost hunting show road trips as part of their actual songs.

Lead singer Carter Fortune, says she uses a digital recorder as they play different venues. " Some Music halls and Clubs are haunted as you know she states quite directly. I also ghost hunt cemeteries on my off times and get plenty of ghost and EVP's to put into our Music.

"I actually have a ghost singing and have used the tape during our live shows." Says Fortune. "Many people love it, they say our show is really haunting. "And of Course it is!"

The Song Remains The Same But Do We?

Often when riding in a car or listening to the radio a song comes on that reminds you of someone lost yo us but not forgotten. You might tear up or just change the station to get away from the feelings it brings and latch on to you. Some say when the hear a song that was very much loved by a person when alive they feel as if they are their with you. No matter what's the style Rock N' Roll, classical, Gospel, Country, or rap what ever the flavor you know it when it happens to you.

Could music be just another way the dead communicate to us from the world beyond?

It's all the same music that speaks to us from times gone by to even dare I say from those that love us on the other side. Could it be their trying to tell us something special or that their just playing our song.

Ghost Riders in the sky - Blues Brothers

Music makes us remember things. Hear a song once they say and you'll never forget it. Emotions dwell in every song, happiness and sorrow hand in hand. Memories sweet and loving and those dark shadows to hide within it's melody, and those remembrance we don't want to touch and run away from.

Johnny Cash - The Long Black Veil 1987

Nothing escapes our inner feelings if it touches us so dear. Just as someone we loved has passed on .... We only have one truth they say music lives forever.
