Something in the Pines — a song about what waits in the dark

"Something in the Pines" — a dark country-bluegrass song about the dread of being alone in a cabin at night, with something watching from the tree line. Whispered tension building into a haunting, full-throated climax. Lyrics: Verse 1 Wind don't move like wind no more Porch light flickers at the door Something walking, slow and low Something the dark don't want you to know Pre-Chorus Hush now, hush now Don't you make a sound Hush now, hush now Something's circling round Chorus There's something in the pines Something in the black Watching from the tree line Waiting to walk back Lord, keep the lantern lit Keep the fire bright There's something in the pines tonight Verse 2 Dogs won't bark, they just lay still Every hollow, every hill Holding breath like they know its name Something older than the flame Pre-Chorus Hush now, hush now Don't you make a sound Hush now, hush now Something's circling round Chorus There's something in the pines Something in the black Watching from the tree line Waiting to walk back Lord, keep the lantern lit Keep the fire bright There's something in the pines tonight Bridge Every board creaks Every shadow leans Every prayer I know Caught between my teeth It knows my name It knows this house It's been here longer Than the mountain, than the doubt Climax/Final Chorus THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE PINES SOMETHING IN THE BLACK WATCHING FROM THE TREE LINE WAITING TO WALK BACK LORD, KEEP THE LANTERN LIT KEEP THE FIRE BRIGHT THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE PINES TONIGHT Outro Hush now Hush now It's closer than the light #darkcountry #bluegrass #folkhorror #newmusic #countrymusic #americana #eeriemusic #newsingle #cabinhorror #banjo
