As a big fan of cemeteries, cemetery music videos are something I enjoy finding, especially when they're from non-goth genres.
Here are the Top 5 cemetery music videos I've come across, all of which are fantastic songs too.
1. Death Valley Girls - Islands in the Sky
Genre: Garage Rock. Informally, "doom-boogie, psych-pop" as explained by the band.
Reason: Spooky visuals balanced with uplifting lyrics. Also, dancing ghosts! I was lucky to see Death Valley Girls perform this at Black Bear Lodge in 2023.
2. The Kills - Doing It To Death
Genre: Indie Rock
Reason: Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince ride on the bonnet of a hearse. Cool sunglasses. Great choreography.
3. Dilly Dally - I Feel Free
Genre: Alternative Rock
Reason: This one is so dark. The concept and storytelling accompany Enda's screams and the wailing guitars perfectly.
4. Grave Pleasures - Joy Through Death
Genre: Post-punk
Reason: I'd love to know where this cemetery is, because it's beautiful. The choreography is a bit off the wall and slightly amateur, which makes it all the more charming.
5. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Genre: Soul / Jazz
Reason: There are a bunch of great cemetery shots in this music video. In a way, I wish it hadn't been filmed in black and white, but it makes sense given the song's title and content.
