Ring Around the Rosie: A dark Nursery Rhyme (Music video and second Halloween Special)

avatar

The veil is thin tonight...
Blessed Samhain! Halloween! All Hallows Eve!
And here is my second (for the first check previous post) Seasonal spooky special. This one is rather experimental and eerie... I filmed this on my own, alone, in social distancing, mostly with my phone handheld, so it's a bit different than what I share. I'm curious about your interpretations of it :)

I hope you find it spookylicious! :)

Ring Around the Rosie
Pocket full of posies
Ashes, Ashes...
we all fall down

Ring around the Rosie (also known as Ring a Ring o' Roses) is a very old Nursery Rhyme. But this is a very eerie ghostly take on it. There are many variations of it, some as old as 1790, was first printed in 1881. Some say the tune has some dark roots related to the plague, and though many claim this as baseless and thus it has become a favourite for "creepy" eerie takes. I was very experimental with this one and pretends to be an eerie atmospheric experience, almost like a lucid dreaming or sleepwalking. It's not meant to be very scary just subtly uneasy like a bad recurrent dream cloaked by ominous wind, and it's the story of a girl that becomes a tree. The term "Dryad" comes from Oak. I took the liberty of making a variation from the main theme into my own composition with the same words soon after. Spectral and haunting. I filmed this on my own, alone with my phone hand held for most of it on a very windy day barely a week ago. Thus it's shaky and raw and strange but I like it that way. Is this a ghost tale or maybe a tale of transformation? I'm looking forward to hear your interpretations. As always there are hidden ratties, in this case there's only one hidden ratty :). Let me know in comments if you spot it!This is our second Halloween Special for 2020.

Find the ratty

Of course there is at least one ratty, here the footage was very shaky and there is only one :) but let's see if you can spot it.

thanks so much, I felt very experimental and I actually filmed myself alone, I know it turns weird in fact second verse on I changed all base chords of it. There is "one" ratty only hidden this time :) not as easy as some other times as video is dark but of course there is a fufunchi there

Absolutely great ... in every possible way ... audio, video ... perfect atmosphere ... it's hard to make something really spooky without falling into silly and laughable, in some moments at least ... but this is seriously great. It's too late for a meaningful upvote, but for a comment is never too old :)
