Here are 3 videos I posted on YouTube that I made of Halloween songs from the CD "Andrew Gold's Halloween Howls": (1) The first already has sentimental value to me after I heard it with a date in a Dollar Tree in 2009. The second is fairly catchy, and is based on a blues chord progression. I find the third one too complicated to lodge in listeners' memories, but it's cute. That CD was made with the idea of creating Halloween-specific holiday songs instead of using pop/rock/rap songs from the Top 40. I like the idea. After the Walmart Christmas stampede incident of 2009 that killed one shopper, one guy on a bus told me that people are nicer to each other on Halloween than Christmas. He had a very good point, I think. I predict that Halloween will become an increasingly important holiday for people, and will spur its own set of holiday music, analogous to Christmas carols. Aspiring musicians who want to write future holiday classics: take note! |
