The ghost of the planet moves through the night
Last night I watched a stack of flaming pumpkins keep watch against the night, pouring off kerosene smoke in a suburban driveway. Happy Halloween.
(A short suitable mix.)
Buffy Sainte-Marie, "Lyke-Wake Dirge"
Every night and all
Fire and fleet and candlelight
And Christ receive thy soul
The Mountain Goats, "Hebrews 11:40"
Bright candles in the manor where the curse takes hold
Bodies reassembling down where the worms crawl
Make your own friends when the world's gone cold
The Jezabels, "Hurt Me"
Now I've a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark
When the shadow of the moon won't do
Timber Timbre, "Bad Ritual"
I saw your levitating chair
I found your long blond hairs
I felt your poltergeist presence in the frame of the bed
The Pack a.d., "Haunt You"
Just like a bad plot, I won't tell you why
Under the floor or in a wall is where my secret lies
I come for your family first, so set them free
Squirrel Nut Zippers, "Wash Jones"
I was talking to an oak tree when a cypress butted in
Out of car parts, a raven made a nest inside my skin
June Tabor & Oysterband, "Judas Was a Red-Headed Man (The Bonfire Carol)"
'Twas a proper green smother for all to see
But the fire burns sweet for our Lord of the Tree
Jack Hardy, "The Three Ravens"
In the cold dark light of a winter's morning
Three ravens sat on a hangman's tree
The waiting was over and hence was their warning
Lal & Mike Waterson, "The Scarecrow"
Ah, but you'd lay me down and love me, if you could
But you're only a bag of rags in an overall
That the wind sways so the crows fly away and the corn grows tall
Darling Pet Munkee, "MONSTER S-I-Z-E MONSTERS"
He may walk like he's in a trance
But he loves to surf and he loves to dance
He's a gentleman—he's into romance
So if you're looking for love, give him a chance
I'm going souling tonight.

You're welcome. Glad you like!
(And isn't the new Tabor/Oysterband collaboration glorious?)
It justifies its existence with "The Bonfire Carol" and the PJ Harvey cover alone.
