Your Darkest Fears

I've teamed up again with Shana Mattheis of Roots Revival Co. to bring you a spooky playlist just in time for Halloween! Instead of your traditional Halloween classics like I Put a Spell on You or Monster Mash, I have compiled an alternative playlist that might evoke your worst fears! (Hopefully it just puts you in a festive mood!) Check out my playlist on her website and make sure to follow her on Facebook!

Also if you're feeling up for more alternative Halloween-inspired music, check out Nylon Magazine's Ultimate Alternative Halloween Playlist- you won't regret it! (Listen to their playlist on Spotify) 

Playlist

Your Darkest Fears

Highlights

- Track 4/ Gravedigger by Dave Matthews

Probably one of my favorite songs by Dave Matthews, the verses read like the obituary page in the newspaper but his chorus seems to be pleading for life. Living to be 103 years old still seems like forever to me. 

- Track 8/ The Dark I Know Well by Spring Awakening Cast

A little bit dark and serious material for a whimsical Halloween playlist, but often the worst suffering leads to the best music. If you're not a music theater nerd, this song comes from Spring Awakening, which is set in 19th century Germany and deals with a group of adolescents discovering sexuality, including the dark side: rape, child abuse, abortion, and even suicide. I think this might be the scariest song on my list.

- Track 12/ Superstition by Stevie Wonder

Ahh.... Stevie Wonder. And those synthesizers. Make for the perfectly funky track that is a necessity on any Halloween playlist. 

Thanks for listening (fearfully)!
