Check out our Patreon community: patreon.com/reinadelcid "Death's Love Song" by Reina del Cid Subscribe: bit.ly/subRdC Watch next: Einstein, 1905 - youtu.be/m9YjVR3txb4 What if death wrote you a love a song? This tune was inspired by two of my favorite poems: Emily Dickinson’s “Because I could not stop for Death” and Dylan Thomas’s “Do not go gentle into that good night.” In Dickinson’s poem, she imagines Death as a chivalrous driver of a carriage stopping to pick her up. That inspired me to write this song from the perspective of Death if it were a suitor—someone who has been in love with you your your whole life and has been waiting to take you away. Special thanks to Toni Lindgren for lending her upright bass skills to this little demo track. She was in a remote location without access to video, so we just have her audio for this. I added some shaker and keys as well. We’ll eventually record this song properly in a studio and put it on an album one day, but I wanted to share it with you like this first. Lyrics are below! We have rescheduled most of our 2020 concerts. Take a look at the dates and see if we're coming to your town later this year or early next year! reinadelcid.com/#shows MAILING LIST (sign up!): ow.ly/v4d1V FB: facebook.com/reinadelcid IG: instagram.com/reinadelcid TWITTER: twitter.com/ReinaDelCid WEBSITE: reinadelcid.com ::GEAR USED:: MICS: Guitar: a pair of Shure SM81s in stereo - s71.co/3gJCvIC Upright bass: AKG C414 - s71.co/3nifIWE Vocal: Earthworks SR40V - s71.co/2IOKQOF CAMERA: Canon EOS R: s71.co/37PAMgR LENS: Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM: s71.co/2JZbQvf VIDEO EDITING: Adobe Premiere: s71.co/3a2W1yi DAW: Pro Tools: s71.co/37TNgEc Check out more of our videos: Latest Uploads: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD4X50B3_ot0jNjmGtS2--1DzgkSmt3Ku Sunday Mornings with Reina del Cid: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD4X50B3_ot32U-AwfrCIWlum-8IAfFd_ Original Songs: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD4X50B3_ot2mC0PaoXMXQ7wtiPL1kpi4 Cover Songs: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL02E984385A78A73C Popular Videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD4X50B3_ot3PCiUhTxizdWe5DBVHIIIZ Physical mailing address (send us mail!): Reina del Cid PO Box 251705 Los Angeles, CA 90025 Lyrics to "Death's Love Song": Dear, it’s time we met yes it’s true, you don’t know me yet but dust to dust you’ll learn to trust that in the end, there is only us Don’t believe what they say of me the poets’ slander and heresy my face is cruel but my love is true and I won’t rest till I have you Through every season of your life I watched you hold your lovers tight and how I burned just to wait my turn to take your hand and lead you off this earth Oh my sweet thing, fear not you just board my ship and we’ll take off to fare the darkest sea, the gentlest night Take that body and give it up you just step inside my chariot Oh, you’ve never had a lover quite like me so let’s ride to eternity Like the ones before you you fear what’s in store for you and so you’ll run under the golden sun heading west till it’s all said and done With every drag on your cigarette do you feel how close I get? Take your pills if you feel ill they might break my hold but they won’t break my will Now you’re pale and short of breath sit down with your spinning head It’s almost time, I can see the signs that soon you’ll forever be mine Chorus Let go of those weary bones and just climb aboard my ferryboat I will row us gently through the dying light I will keep you company as we drift toward immortality Oh you never had a lover quite like me so let’s ride to eternity
