Top 5 Cemetery Music Videos from non-goth genres

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.

World Goth Day 2025

Happy World Goth Day 2025, dear readers. I celebrated with Bram Stoker's Dracula (1974) and a lovely cheese pizza just for me.
