The Hearse Song

I had been minded for a while to work on a version of this song. I am not quite sure where/when it entered my head, and it took me a while to think back and actually locate what the song actually is (via The Pogue’s version in the end).

I’ll throw this up to listen to now, it may end up as a B-side at some point.

As I commonly do on things like this, I mashed together snippets from various midi arrangment, and my own sprinklings of fairy dust. I played Double Bass and Guitar (the sound is a shitty accoustic through a Mesa-Boogie Triple Rectifier emulation, for those who want to know) and sang the words on this one.
