Memorable lyrics: “See him in the dark, and with the brokenhearted / But you’ll pass him in the light and he won’t be recognized” Old Gods by Emily Scott Robinson This song in particular speaks to the inevitability of being tricked by the devil, which is mildly horrifying. Kat Hasty had to be on this list because of her soft voice and the way her songs are stripped back musically. Memorable lyrics: “There’s a suit wearin’ snake with a million dollar smile / Shakin’ hands with the rat just across the aisle” The Devil in Us All by Kat Hasty Each description of the less savory parts of life shows how alike everyone can be even in their own unique experiences (that aren’t that unique). Memorable lyrics: “I’m well aware of what the night’s made of / And I’m coming for you like a hawk for the dove” Same Devil by Brandy Clark and Brandi CarlileĪgain, the vibes of this song are just awesome. Honestly, this song just has haunting vibes sound-wise, and a romance that you know is probably doomed or toxic is definitely haunting. Memorable lyrics: “Nobody can explain it, some say she’s still alive / They’ve even claimed they’ve seen her on the shoreline late at night” I mean, what’s more haunting than an actual ghost story? This song is probably the most underrated (and my favorite) Garth Brooks song. Memorable lyrics: “ I’m gonna plant myself / Under a magnolia / I’m gonna let that dirt / Do its work” The Beaches of Cheyenne by Garth Brooks Living up to the southern gothic vibe of Adia Victoria’s album A Southern Gothic, “Magnolia Blues” tells the age-old story of endurance and reclaiming who you are. Memorable lyrics: “Seven years we drown, seven years we rise / Said the black rabbit with the ancient eyes” Magnolia Blues by Adia Victoria This homage to Allison Russell’s grandmother and great-grandmother will make you feel like a spell is being put on you but in the best way possible. Memorable lyrics: “Please don’t let my love run dry / I’m so tired of you leaving me with a sigh” I will honestly never shut up about how beautiful and haunting this song is. Here are some of my favorites: The Sea by Sierra Ferrell There’s something compelling, yet slightly unnerving about these songs and I can’t get enough of it. They make you feel like some other-wordly creature is humming in your ear, like someone is just out of the corner of your eye or over your shoulder. When I think of haunting country songs, I think of songs that talk about ghosts or southern mythology or that have that specific almost bluesy sound. Now, I’ll admit I’m going to be a little broad with this phrase. There can be grand love songs, beachy beer-drinking songs, melancholic break-up songs.īut one of my personal favorite vibes is the haunting country song. One of may favorite things about country music is how diverse the sound and content can be.
