Delta Rae - Dance In The Graveyards Lyrics

Dude, let the girl sing.

Google "Baron Samedi".. that's who he's dressed like in the beginning. I can see the Haitian Voodoo influence ✊🏾

Every Samhain I come back, and I adore the song, and the message, and the energy. And I'm still in tear missing her.

Love you and miss you gramma ❤️ left this world on my birthday still miss you so much we share this day together love never dies

This song never fails to make me cry.

How amazingly beautiful..............

So beautiful. I don't think I've ever watched this video and not cried. A truly beautiful tribute to those we have loved and lost.

Makes me miss my Momma. She passed November 6th 2018. The first anniversary scares me so much 😢

Is that Harold Perrineau?

Joyous, Rapturous Song. Beautiful Video.

well i just cried to hard. it’s strange, i’ve heard this song so many times but for some reason it made me cry today

This is the most powerful song.

I want this song to be played at my funeral

This video is absolute magic, I can´t find more words to describe it. #DeltaRaeDiehard

Today is the memorial day that my close friend passed away. I miss you Erick, so much, with all my heart. I wish we could have just one more dance....or as simple as a hug. ♥️

The next time I visit a graveyard
Instead of walking in solemn silence,
I'm going to blast this song and dance.
And whoever wants to come dance with me is welcome

A nice counter balancing. An atmospheric, southern gothic short film as a back drop to a song glowing in warmth, with an uplifting spirit. I believe I've said this before but, why is this band not much more known and popular? Of course, the answer isn't really that hard to figure out. Another fine job from a talented group.

To Erick. I miss you! <3 https://www.facebook.com/ErickThePirate/

This. Is. Amazing. Beyond words.

i love everything about this song and video! Perfection!

Yeah!! SUCK IT, DEATH!!

i remember seeing them in concert at the nc state fair, and it was the most fun i’ve ever had. i met them personally because i was there a few hours early, and they were practicing and just smiling the entire time, you could tell they really enjoy what they do.

Today is the 20th anniversary of my mom's death. I'm only 26. Because I was so young when she died, it took me a long time to move on. But it still hurts, especially today. But a friend introduced me to this song, and it helps a bit. I try to remember not to be sad that she's gone, but that I should be happy that she's moving on in her journey

Makes me cry every time. But joyful tears tinged with just a tad of sadness <3 <3

Grateful to My Grandma, Dad and Family...looking forward to dancing with you all this February...See you Soon... :)

Art is at its best when it touches the human soul. One need only read the heartfelt comments for this video to understand that the artists achieved their goal, and touched many souls.

Idk why but someone should do a montage of this song with Misty Day from ahs

Makes me cry.

I love this song, it touched my soul.  This song will be played at my services when that day comes for me.  Death should not be only for sorrow, but rejoicing the love you experience.  Who wants to "rest in peace".  If you ever have those days - wondering...  Please know that you do make a difference and you are loved more than you can imagine.

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like we’re all reunited in death laughing and dancing with our loved ones.

It's like el dia de los muertos

Oh my god I'm crying. This song is so beautiful.

Whenever I need a good cry, I come watch this video...I would give anything to see that light in the night sky and get to dance with the love of my life again...

I absolutely love this song. For me it indeed reaches beyond to those who have gone before. I have always been more in touch with myself, those around me, those who have gone before when I walk in the graveyards. This practice is something I do daily when I can. To feel, communicate with those in the beyond is a wonderful experience.

Death is universal truth. We all have to die one day. Who born in this materialistic world will due one day. Jesus died, krishna died, buddha died. What we are in front of them?
Life and death are maya, an illusion. Soul is immortal.

How can I get sheet music to this song. My chorus is in love with it and we would love to sing it for our end of the year concert!

So beautiful!

It's been one month since my mother passed away from Alzheimer's Disease. I would give anything to dance with her again, healthy and happy...and most of all she would recognize me and know I was her child. I love you mom.

Eight years this month since my love passed away. I want to have one more dance with him. I want to feel him hold me once more. I want to twirl and dip in joy. This song touches me in a special way more than before.

I like this song it is inspiring and makes me feel important

I heard this on the vampire diaries and now i love delta raes music. :)

The first time I heard this song was at my grandma's funeral on our way to the graveyard. I bawled like a baby and I still do when I hear this song. This was back in 2016. I miss you grandma. 😢😢

I'm getting cremated...So dance where you want to...

You belong to all of my mysteries

This song socks, no offense just my opinion

Dance, love, life, love, laughter, love

I loved it

This reminds me of a Day of the Dead celebration.

Feliz dia de los muertos!

I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards
The graveyards
And while I'm alive,
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let's dance in the graveyards
Gloria, like some other name
We kept on calling ya
And waiting for change.
But I belong to all of your mysteries
And all of us
are meant for the fire
But we keep rising up
And walking the wires
So when we go below,
Don't lose us in mourning
When I die,
I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards
the graveyards
And while I'm alive,
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let's dance in the graveyards.
Oh
Let's dance in the graveyards
Oh
Oh my love, don't cry when I'm gone.
I will lift you up, the air in your lungs.
And when you reach for me,
We'll dance in the darkness
And we will walk beyond
Our daughters and sons.
They will carry on
Like when we were young
And we will stand beside, and breathe in the new life
When I die,
I don't to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards
The graveyards
And while I'm alive,
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more.
Let's dance in the graveyards.
Oh
Let's dance in the graveyards
Oh

This is so beautiful; thank you.

What a beautiful video <3

I was sad when my grama died in January the 10 of 2016 I was really sad and cried a lot cause that was 2 days a away form my birthday. And every time I hear this song I say to my self that she's in a better place and that she wants me to be happy that's why we celebrate " dia de los murtos" to celebrate the beloved ones that have passed away 😢I miss my gramma I don't want to lose any one else my mom is about to died .lost of my grama caused her a heart attack prey for plz 😢😢😭

This is a reminder that I can dance with joy in the happy memories my wife and I had together. This coming October 31st marks three years since she passed away and I miss her so much. The white crosses that keep popping up in the video are reminders that someday I will see her again because of my faith in Christ. This is such a beautiful song. Thank you, Delta Rae.

You will see her again & dance with her in heaven.

Why are you making it all about Christianity? The song is not religious at all. It’s just beautiful and filled with love.

watch with PS22

This song is transcendant. It has the ability to make my simultaneously happy and sad. I don't know how that can be. It's disconcerting but I keep coming back for more. I love it.

I don't understand why this group, and especially this song, is not a global phenomenon!!

CHECK YOUR PRIVELEGE THIS IS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION YOU DANCING MORONS. THIS TRIGGERS ME LIKE THAT ONE TIME I WALKED IN ON MY EX-WIFE BONING MY BROTHER, WHICH WAS REALLY WEIRD BECAUSE HE'D BEEN DEAD FOR LIKE SIX YEARS. NOW THEY'RE TOGETHER IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ;D TIL DEATH DO WE PART, AMIRITE? GET IT, IM SAYING I MURDERED HER

9/11

If you want to dance in the graveyards...you should reawaken Michael Jackson. XD Hey, I had to distract myself from crying somehow.

Though I love what this video represents, still breaks my heart at the end when they're dancing alone

Vampire diaries anyone?

My husband passed away last year When I heard this song and watched that awesome video I knew I had to have the CD Thank you Delta Rae XOXO

Eight years for me now. I want to dance with my love once more and this song lets me imagine that I am. It brings me comfort. I hope it does for you, too.

RIP OFFICER DAVID GLASSER AND MY GRANDFATHER

As someone who has deemed that I wish for my end to be a time of celebration, and not sorrow and gloom, this song was recommended to me. And now, it's getting a special place in my music library.

I love this, even though it makes me cry every time. In the very last cut they are dancing in the dark, and the ghosts are unseen.

They always end their shows with this song. I seen them 4 times and will continue to do so every time they come to Houston. They are one of the few band that sound just as good live as they do in the studio.

I got to see them in San Antonio 2 years ago. It was the most awesome show in the Empire Theater. We danced between the rows of the seats and on a small dance floor in front of the stage. This song was the last one played and I imagined I was dancing with my husband once more.

Beautiful song, with a beautiful message. Loved it.

That's kinda how The Day of The Dead feels like.

This song is one of my all time favorite songs. It's so beautiful.

To me this song is about the celebration of life after life and it tells me to not worry about what comes next and to love while I'm here and that to me is a beautiful thing.

Your kidding me.....no comments in two years? The white guy that meets up with long haired women looks like my Danish cousin.

I'm fucking crying

Not too many music videos move me to tears the first time I see them. This one sure did!!

This one's even better... it brings us to tears not just the first time but *every* time we listen to it.

This so reminds me of the Day of the dead festivity

Oh my love, don't cry when I'm gone.
I will lift you up, the air in your lungs.
And when you reach for me,
We'll dance in the darkness
And we will walk beyond
Our daughters and sons.
They will carry on
Like when we were young
And we will stand beside, and breathe in the new life

I've always thought of the graveyard as a happy place like this , my family and friends thought I was crazy for thinking that way an then I found this song and showed them that this song is how I imagine a grave yard they kinda understood but I got them hooked on this band now XD

Sammy & Kay Me, too...I actually bought land with a cemetary attached...They still conduct funerals back there and my husband and I cut the grass and keep it looking beautiful...it makes me sad to see memorials unkempt

This song will never fail to remind me of my best friend AJ that I lost to suicide two years ago

When remembering those we've lost never forget, don't mourn the death, CELEBRATE THE LIFE!

One of my favorite songs! This song speaks to me in so many ways! We have a small abandoned cemetery at the end of our yard that I turned into a pet project and have cleaned up and restored it! It is my happy place where I go to "commune with the locals," as I call it! I have often danced in my little graveyard!

jflect4Edward I hope you're here. I've seen this band and the video is awesome! They are amazing live

I listen to this when I need to be reminded that life is about living... remembering those who have passed.

we should never mourn the dead, but celebrate their life ,everyday. and live day like it is our last

This is amazing.

Probably my favorite song ever <3 :o

I like this song. I dont know why i just like it.

It reminds of the movie called the book of life

Erica Harris that would be because of the close resemblance that some of the people have to Dia de los Muertos sugar skulls.

But this also has a New Orleans bayou, voodoo background so it can be looked at a mix of cultures

I love this song do much :D

Merry Samhain everyone!

I watch this video every year now on All Hallows Eve! It's inspiring and heart warming! It brings them closer, the ones I've lost and fills my heart with joy to now they are dancing with me! Thank you!

I just learned of this video and song..now it is my new All Hallows Eve tradition.

I never saw this band; but I can understand how you feel. Lost my husband 20+ yrrs ago; he would've loved this song. Our anniversary is 31st October....

I saw them in August, and they were great! They played this last and segued into "I wanna Dance With Somebody", then back to this song!

my favorite group and one of the best songs ever written. it brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. I would give anything for what happened in this video to be possible.

I feel the same.

It really hits hard at the end when they are dancing by themselves.

Yeah, that part always gets to me, too. I cry every time.

I think it's a way of showing we can still dance, without them, when our eyes are closed and we are immersed in happy memories. Or I could be wrong.

The message at the end is so powerful: You're not alone. In the end they might not have had their loved ones back, but they had each other. They weren't alone.

*Are* they dancing alone? Or is it that we just can't see the ones they're dancing with. They're happy. I like that 2nd thought.

i am so sorry!!!😕😕😕

this is soo beautiful that i´m crying :')

Beautiful song. Great job!

this song gets me through the deathiversary of both my good friend and my grandfather. thank you for making the grieving process a little easier.

It would be nice to be remembered for the good things you stood for. The happy tears you helped others produce. The smiles you caused.

Brilliant!!

this should be played at all funerals .

In the past after the funeral and everyone has left a violin player or harpist would sit and play at the grave until sunrise. There were special songs played that tradition says are not to be played to the living. It is still done in a few parts of Europe. Songs to ease the spirit of the dead into the after life. And since it is only for the dead it is only played for the dead.

Wow, I never knew this. Thank you for sharing. I had a bagpiper play at the graveside one year after my hubby died. He played "Amazing Grace". I wanted to hear "Fields of Atheny" but he didn't know that one. I think my hubby was smiling in heaven as he dearly loved the pipes.

That's fascinating—What is that tradition called? Where can I read more about it?
