Scary Song And Even Scarier Video: Until It Sleeps By Metallica



Today is Halloween and I guess it's time for kids to wear their best costumes as they go from house to house for trick or treat. For others it's time to break out the scary videos or tell eerie stories that make you think twice about stepping out the door in the middle of the night. Sometimes when the wind's breeze seems to blow a little stronger during this ocassion, it can freak you out and as scary images start to fill your mind, you try hard to fight the feeling of your skin crawling which signifies how scared you start to feel about all this horror night ect. Whenever Halloween is being celebrated, I always remember Metallica's song "Until It Sleeps" as well as the video which really creeps me out.

According to some members of youtube, the song is about about one of the band member's mother getting cancer and the way the song is played is like there's this dark force taking over on someone in a very scary way really describes the disease. The emotions of suffering, grief and anger are well express and Metallica is the best when it comes to singing these kinds of feelings. The video is even scarier with it's images of the devil, Adam and Eve as well as all those freaky monsters, culminating with the Christ's crufixition is really gripping. It's like paintings of Goya coming to life.

Well, right now I better get ready as the kids might come knocking on the door and I might as well help out with giving them some candy. I guess this is one of those ocassions which belongs to the kids so might as well give them their due. I just hope that they their yayas and mamas with them to ensure that nothing bad happens. Remember to stay with your group and be careful tonight. There's no sense in getting hurt for some bits of candy.
