Blood Ghost | A Music Video (+ 200th post!)


Greetings travelers, 

I've officially made 200 posts on this blog! But onto the topic at hand: 

A few posts ago I made a post about an original song I had written called "Blood Ghost" I just                posted the lyric video for it and the audio. However, I decided recently that it would be fun to make a music video for it, so I did: 


The inspirations for the music video were actually old horror movies (from the 1950s and 60s) that I often watch with my mom. This was also the first time I've done lip-syncing in a music video, and it was a fun experience. I had a lot of fun acting as the characters who appear in the video (the storyteller and the Blood Ghost), and dressing up as them as well. 

And while I already posted the lyrics in the post before, I am going to post them again, so you can follow (or sing) along if you would like (and don't need to open another tab to do so): 

👻 Lyrics- 👻

Under Southwest Bridge, 
Waiting for the Blood Ghost. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Hatred of light, hatred of blood, hatred of the Blood Ghost. 
 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Many tales of old were told, 
Of the entity
Who will now forever be
In our memory 

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Searching for shelter, struggling in prayer, fighting against the Blood Ghost. 

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

It is said that your children it will take, 
in its wake, 
where they go, 
we never know, 

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

In life it was said to be a fair maid, 
But she faded and turned into a shade, 
Now she haunts looking around for blood, 
And many have succumbed, 
to its will, 
Because an empty shell it wants to fill,  

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Last three waiting, last three waiting, last three waiting, waiting, for the Blood Ghost.

  2. What a good idea to make a music video of your song -- it really brings the story to life! I like the spookiness of the backgrounds you used (presumably with that green screen?) and the tricorn hat!

      Thank you again. To answer your question, I did use a green screen to create the backgrounds. And agreed, tricorn hats are fun!

  4. With more than one blog, having reached 200 posts is great accomplishment, at least, to me. Congrats on 200 posts.

    I like that the video is black and white, it matches the mood of the song. I'm not a fan of horror moives so I cannot list any favorites.

    Have a lovely day.
