There are lots of songs about murder. Songs coming to my mind immediately are “Down by the River” by Neil Young; “Hey Joe” by Dino Valenti (perhaps), and made famous by The Leaves and Jimi Hendrix; and “Miss Otis Regrets” by Cole Porter, and performed by just about everybody. They are all great songs.

My favorite such song, though, is by Jonathan Spottiswoode. I like this song especially because its frame of reference is that of the murderer, who asks for our understanding and forgiveness, when the empathy he craves is definitely not deserved:

I’m not guilty
I’m not ashamed
I’m not responsible
I’m not to blame

The way she looked at me

I’m just a warm-blooded man

(After almost five years on YouTube, there are still zero likes and zero comments for this great song!)

Another great song from the same album:

Thanks a lot, that is so cool!! :heartbeat:

For some reason it sparked weird association to that:

No idea why :upside_down_face:

I like this song by Cows, too. Listening to both songs in succession, I’m hearing perhaps the same rising two-chord progression, the dominant hook, in both songs.

One of my all time favourite songs about murder. As a farmer, I can relate. There’s always some killin’ you’ve got to do around the farm, haha

Road kill has its seasons
Just like anything
It’s possums in the autumn
And it’s farm cats in the spring

‘Cause there’s nothin’ strange
About an axe with bloodstains in the barn

There’s always some killin’
You got to do around the farm
A murder in the red barn
Murder in the red barn

Well, it’s not even technical…Maybe both songs holding tension and building like it’s last day on Earth :bomb:


Those are my favorite songs about murder (well ok, far beyond in insanity territory than just murder :laughing: )

Speaking of murder, Carlo Gesualdo is one of my favourite composers:

Yeah well…Better not to play with :fire:, when it comes to love :frog:
Great composer, no doubt!

To cite Jimi for that matter:

My yellow in this case is not so mellow

A classic song about rape and murder:

Bright the sunlight summer day Comus wakes he starts to play
Virgin fair smiles so sweet Comus’ heart begins to beat
Rise up Comus sing your song bewitch the maiden the day is long
Cast your spell sweet music crack her virtuous shell
Enchanted damsel curious ear Comus music dispel all fear
Dainty feet they skip so light Comus laughs soon comes the night
Through the forest dark and deep she follows Comus’ dancing feet
He moves away the mossy stone reveals the cave Comus’ home
Comus glare, Comus glare, Comus bare,
Comus rape, Comus break sweet young virgin’s virtue take
Naked flesh flowing hair her terror screams they cut the air

Comes the sunlight summer day Comus wakes he starts to play
He starts to play he starts to play he starts to play
Aah
Chastity chaser virile for the virgin’s virtue
Excite her exciter you better go before you bleed and he hurts you
He chased the chaste you better leave if you value your virtue

All right now
Hey aah hey aah hey aah hey aaah

Virgin fair smiles so sweet Comus’ heart begins to beat
Enchanted damsel curious ear Comus music dispel all fear
Through the forest dark she follow Comus’ dancing feet
He moves away the mossy stone reveals the cave Comus’ home
Misty air, Comus glare, Comus bare
All right now

Chastity chaser virile for the virgin’s virtue
Excite her exciter you better go before you bleed and he hurts you
He chased the chaste you better leave if you value your virtue

Hymen hunter, hands of steel, crack you open and your red flesh peel
Pain procurer, eyes of fire pierce your womb and push still higher
Comus rape, Comus break sweet young virgin’s virtue take
Naked flesh flowing hair her terror screams they cut the air

Comes the sunlight summer day Comus wakes he starts to play
He starts to play he starts to play he starts to play
