My mother, Madeline Ricker Arnold, was the woman with the long gray hair in the video. She so enjoyed being included in the video shoot and loved October Project....RIP mom- we miss you.
Did she know Julie and Emil? I have such fond memories of being a "groupie" for October and November Project briefly in the mid 90s. These people's talent was just too big to even comprehend.
This was my mother's favorite band since 1993. I still listen to this, Because it is awesome, but also because it brings back so many wonderful memories of my beautiful mother. I'm so sorry you lost your mother, But maybe her and my mom Jam out to October project together on a higher plane.
@Brandon Moore I'm completely with you. Black Lives DO matter, but I guess I don't understand why, of all of the comments, you chose this comment, where multiple people were mourning their deceased moms, to express that opinion? ABSOLUTELY Black lives matter. ABSOLUTELY George Floyd deserves justice, but people are allowed to have feelings about other painful stuff, too. Make your own comment about it and I'll like that separately, but get out of this one, please? My mom used to sing this WHOLE album to me. When I hear OP, it makes me feel closer to her. That is how I intend to keep it.
I lost my only child at 8.r5 years old i write songs for him as to honor him i stumbled on october project a couple of years ago and was shocked!! still am..when i lose my inspiration l listen to them and i regain it again!! unbelievable!!!
When this album was released I was managing a record store (remember those?) October project were in indianapolis performing that night at the vogue. The mall that our store was in was attached to a hotel where a lot of bands would stay when they came to town....I played the shit out of this album in our store because everyone who worked there loved it and so did the customers. Low and behold the band happened to wander into the store that day as we were playing the album...earlier that morning we had found out one of our co workers was found dead in the woods ...we were all devastated....I asked mary if they would dedicate "bury my lovely" for stephen at the show that evening and she graciously did...she wasn't sure it was perfect song choice but it was one of his favorites off the album. I wish they had found more success....One of my favorite bands from the 90s
Wow, man. I happened to be working in a record store at the same time. This album had total impact on me. I can't imagine the multiplicity for you. Bless you.
October Project Bury My Lovely is one of my favorite song reminds me of my Grandma Jan who passed away a week before my Birthday!I miss her everyday and I've just unable to get over her passing!
This music is *_CHILLING._* It made by skin crawl in the most beautiful way when I first heard it, and it still sounds just as perfect all these years later. I love you guys. You've made quite a sound track for my life.
Great musicians, great music, they all touched our soul with this album. Everytime my Brothers and I listen to them, we are transported to those glory days in the 90's Thanks for your music.
Fascinating! All the whole thing is charming: Mary's voice and face, the way musicians plays, the choirs, the composition and arrangements. Simply... Woooow!
Year after year I come back to this video. I first saw them on Conan O'brien in 94 and I was just floored. The song had such depth and Mary's voice...cmon
Since I first read this comment like five seconds ago, I have been incarcerated by the tyranny of your poetic prose.....lol. and yeah, they're wonderful,
Absolutely beautiful, yet haunting. I've always thought she has the most amazing voice. I'll never get tired of listening to them. Return to Me is another incredibly beautiful song. Fun side note: I saw Mary perform in Seattle a few years ago. She talked a bit about this video. Apparently it was filmed down the road from where I lived in Washington at the time. She also mentioned how dark it is in subject matter.
For over 20 years I've loved and been 'haunted by this song as I didn't know the title or the artist. It's so good to finally find it and I've already listened to it about 100 times.
Her voice resonates within the beauty of this awesome song...its delivered with such pain & sadness, you can't help being emotionally moved...Actually I always thought the song was about a broken relationship or marriage, until I saw the video for the first time, moments ago...strange enough, this is the only song that I ever play from the album which I have for many years....bury my lovely, hide in your room....forget me now, forget me soon.
This is the only true version of The October Project. These 2 albums bring such happiness and heartbreak. The joy of the music and the despair of knowing it can never be again.
I wrote a novella with this title about the teenage survivor of child sex abuse. She's a medium who discovers the ghost of a minister that haunts her bedroom in a converted church once abused a girl who was a parishioner.
I first heard this song on satelite tv on MORE MUSIC ,had to have the CD. Listened over and over to it, therapy I guess while living with a violent alcoholic. Life is better now....I still love the song!!!
Way back in the mid spring of 2012 when I was 19 years old I had a cool dentist I was going to who at the time seemed uniquely kindred and like she understood me in a way no one else there did. After a couple visits of getting my teeth checked up and stuff we began discussing different kinds of music and reciprocating our tastes as I sat in the chair. At some point she brought three or four CDs with her one day and gave them to me. Two of those CDs were the two albums of October project and it took me over 7 years to finally discover what she had given me. I played the orange disc of their debut and it has been a kind of unique meditation. I have been in love with it since the middle of march. I've always felt a spiritual connection to celtic type music. OP is majestic, magical, mystical, and otherworldly.
I am so grateful for this song and video so well done why isn't there more artists this deep and meaningful..im stunned!!!!!! It reminds me of my son who died at 8.5years old brings tears to my eyes.. astonishing!!!!!!!!
I bought this album because of this video I saw on VH1 when it was good, when it was an actual video station. The entire album turned out to be fantastic.
I was 18 when I first heard this and saw the video in 1993. It all began with a vhs tape of Rock Video Monthly I got in the mail. Fell in love with singer right there, lol. Phenomenal musicianship and vocals!
That is just my interpretation of it. When the little girl comes out dresses as a ghost and the sheet is soiled and dirty all the other kids run away it further lends itself to that interpretation of being sexually abused and not being able to ever feel clean and feeling shame of thinking everyone else knows. But the beauty of music is that you can take what you want from it. So it can be about any type of abuse and wanting to bury the pain of it away.
Heard this song on the radio in 2016 and couldn’t figure out the name neither did I catch the lyrics since the announcer didn’t mention it after it played. Today Google browser offered to hum a song in the Google app to find it and I tried it 🤯 and I’m here 🎉 amazing tech.
(Lyrics) Cover the mirror Hide in your dreams Forget what they told you Forget what it means A picture, worth a thousand lies The memory and the mirror Nothing but what came before Nothing but a closing door (Chorus)....... A picture worth a thousand lies A thousand words, A thousand eyes Bury my lovely, Hide in your room Bury my lovely, Forget me soon Forget me, Forget me now Forget me not ...................... Cover the madness Cover the fear No one will ever Know you were here A figure in the hallway light Returning like a ghost Something that was left behind Something in a child's mind (Chorus Repeats) A shadow from another time Is waiting in the night Something happened long ago Something that will not let go (Chorus Repeats)
What a gorgeous, soaring song. I kick myself for having missed a Mary Fahl show in Pittsburgh a few years ago; I saw the advertisement for the show literally two days after it had happened. RRR!
Someone close to me is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse...the lyrics and the brilliant imagery of the directors vision in the video speak volumes. Hard to watch and listen. Very powerful.
