A massive hit that sold over two million copies in total.
Its poignant lyrics about heartbreak and parting deeply resonate with men in their 50s, making it a karaoke classic! It might feel a bit too mellow when actually sung at karaoke, but it’s perfect for when you want a break.
When singing, pay attention to breath flow and expressiveness for a better performance.

Set in a creepy Western-style mansion where children, lost in the forest at midnight, finally arrive, Vale’s Halloween tune paints a world where madness and fantasy intersect.

The production that sonically conveys the feeling of being captured sends shivers down my spine! Its multilayered sound, fusing electronic and ambient elements, perfectly suits Halloween night.
Be sure to give it a careful listen!

The pastoral band sound really sinks in, too.
