Mariachis for The Dead

Hi everyone,
if you read my blog for awhile, you know I am into the “Vampire Thing”

I jumped the gun for Halloween next month!. Oops!

In their own words and their own voices, these undead tell it like it is.

Vampires, Ghouls,  Ghosts  party all night “and the blood flows like wine.”

To my original music,  filmed in Second Life on LINC Island  and Kitely

On AI Dreams in Art in the Goth Section, built & curated by me

Thanks to James Ottobre for flower images from his garden..

Let’s Rave on The Night of The Dead & Halloween

Turn it up and feel the beat!!
A Like on YouTube is very appreciated:)

 

Mariachis for The Dead

That crimson river that calls  to us

but only we can hear..

the night of the dead

and we are the dead

come back to life

for just one night

we hear the call

and crawl out of our tombs

mariachis are the sign

as we walk & fly to join the others 

And the blood flows like wine

We are the revealers of the night

The victims are the banquet  

where we will feast

We find our own kind

and lose ourselves

to the music, to the beat

Who says the dead

don’t know how to have fun

In our own way we mesmerize

each other  without even trying 

And the blood flows like wine

Light on our feet and swift in the kill

we abandon ourselves to this night

frightening  beauty our hair glows, our eyes shine

and the blood flows and flows flows like wine

    Wooo love the Hallowe’en energy. This music (and words, and images) are going to be stuck in my head now. 🙂 The phrase “Mariachis for the Dead” would never have occurred to me!

    • Haha,,it barely occurred to me, but when I wrote the piece that’s the title I put on without any ideas for what a video might look like.. Thanks so much and your AI Goth portraits look really good!! Pretty proud of that world we built:)
