Lyrics (to the best of my ability to transcribe!) AWESOME SONG!! Every night when I crawl out of my grave Looking for someone to meet, Some way that we'll misbehave Every night when I go out on the prowl And then I fly through the night With the bats and the owls Every time I meet somebody I think you might be the one I’ve been on my own for too long When I pull them closer to me Bloody sunrise comes again Leaves me hungry and alone Every time Bloody sunrise comes again And I’m nowhere to be found Every time And you’re a memory and gone Something else that I can blame on Bloody sunrise Every night I put on my smartest threads And I go into the town And I don’t even look dead Every night I smile and I say hi And no one ever smiles back And if I could I’d just die But when I’m lucky I do get lucky And I think you might be the one Even though the time is flying When it gets to the time of dying Bloody sunrise comes again Leaves me hungry and alone Every time Bloody sunrise comes again And I’m nowhere to be found Every time And you’re a memory and gone Something else that I can blame on Bloody sunrise And you’re a memory and gone Something else that I can blame on Bloody sunrise
Well, he hasn't written a full-length novel in almost 10 years, that helps I guess :D Love Neil and his project, but I also can't wait for more novels 😭
I mean he is literally the current carnation of Toth. He has already retold the stories of human faith, spirit and mysticism to anyone who reads. Now the predominantly visual learners have the pleasure of his stories too.
This was a delight! I’ve been a fan of the song for years - for those finding it now, the original Claudia Gonson version is also wonderful, a little more haunting and delicate. I’m so happy to see Bloody Sunrise resurrected from its 2011 grave.
@@MeestiMoore He did! But it’s not a new song; he wrote it years ago, and it was originally performed by a different artist. I love that he is featured in this version.
Next best thing is probably Robin McKinley's "Sunshine" (which I usually describe as "if Twilight was actually good, not deeply toxic, and made you want to eat a lot of cinnamon buns").
I don’t know what this is, but it’s the first Neil Gaiman anything I’ve ever watched! Was just trying to decide this week what to read first so the timing is epic!
You have a lot of fun and blowing-mind reading ahead! Welcome to the marvelous universe of Neil Gaiman, the man who create worlds and open doors for us to continue imagining and investigating. Cheers from Argentina. (Sorry if my english is not good, he he).
PS This is a music video Done in elegant folk singing style, written & composed by the Male featured singer (on the TV & with the lantern). The description says more. As someone said in the comments, he's a prolific writer, mostly in darker genres, for children & adults.
I’m actually a little jealous of all the wonderful stories you have ahead of you! Neverwhere is a personal favorite, but you can’t go wrong wherever you start.
Wow, so amazing! Who ever actually thought the visionary author behind The Sandman and Good Omens had such great musical talent! Excellent song, it's so sad but so beautiful, I love it, Neil!
...which is not to say I didn't enjoy the video. Too relatable to my own twenties, maybe (except for the undead part. That was easily managed with enough coffee.)
I think Neil may have designs on conquering all forms of artistic expression and I for one welcome our new artistic overlord.
I would like to remind him that I can help round up people to toil in his underground sugar mine
can't wait to buy his paintings!
@@rares-andreidinu2279 he actually does occasionally auction off drawings he's done for charity - and they're really, really good
Neil is one of our people and I am here for this content.
Genius! search for Spike Milligan What are we going to do now? you get this.
I cant stop coming back to this Gaiman has created a audio visual drug. Send help
I heard Neil was asked to write a Midsummer Night's Dream musical years back. I still wish he'd eventually write a musical.
I’m overwhelmed with joy even imagining such a thing!
Immortality is a drag. Nice to hear Neil's pleasant voice on backing vocals.
The Prince of Stories does not miss.
Lyrics (to the best of my ability to transcribe!) AWESOME SONG!!
Every night when I crawl out of my grave
Looking for someone to meet,
Some way that we'll misbehave
Every night when I go out on the prowl
And then I fly through the night
With the bats and the owls
Every time I meet somebody
I think you might be the one
I’ve been on my own for too long
When I pull them closer to me
Bloody sunrise comes again
Leaves me hungry and alone
Every time
Bloody sunrise comes again
And I’m nowhere to be found
Every time
And you’re a memory and gone
Something else that I can blame on
Bloody sunrise
Every night I put on my smartest threads
And I go into the town
And I don’t even look dead
Every night I smile and I say hi
And no one ever smiles back
And if I could I’d just die
But when I’m lucky I do get lucky
And I think you might be the one
Even though the time is flying
When it gets to the time of dying
Bloody sunrise comes again
Leaves me hungry and alone
Every time
Bloody sunrise comes again
And I’m nowhere to be found
Every time
And you’re a memory and gone
Something else that I can blame on
Bloody sunrise
And you’re a memory and gone
Something else that I can blame on
Bloody sunrise
'Some way that we'll misbehave'... otherwise correct!
@@FourPlayStringQuartet omg thanks for the reply!! I added the correction :D
If this lyrics got added to the video… it’ll be brilliant! 😢
How in the world does Neil find time for all of this?! Also, this is super cute and charming and the album may get added to my Christmas list.
I think Neil knows how to stop time
Well, he hasn't written a full-length novel in almost 10 years, that helps I guess :D Love Neil and his project, but I also can't wait for more novels 😭

😂 I was about to ask that question.
:( I was rooting for her to find a friend. Poor dear.
Anyway, this was really fantastic!

I thought he said he wrote it on his Facebook post?
@@MeestiMoore He did! But it’s not a new song; he wrote it years ago, and it was originally performed by a different artist. I love that he is featured in this version.
This song describes my life perfectly and I'm not even a vampire.
This is awesome and gives me - somehow - Magnetic Fields vibes 😍
This is strangely adorable and I love it
Well. That happened!
And I'm pretty damned glad I was here when it did! 💜
Wow 👏 😮 👏 😮 loved it
Thank you Neil and Four Play String Quartet for sharing a little lightness in theses dark days.
Lara and this is Everything x❤
Why does this video and song make me teary-eyed? I felt so sad for her at the end.
🖤🙏
Fangtastic
Fantastic song! Lara your vocals are haunting alluring and a note of love all at once. Wonderful single thank you everyone.
Thank you Michael! (Lara)
Neil Gaiman the dark Renaissance Man 🖤
Every time I think I can't love the guy more, he goes and does something new that leaves me geeking out😍
This!
"And I think you might...be the one..."
the ukelelist is nodding like, "Yeah..."
Neil, your voice is like a velvety caress to my heart. I have all your audio books, and I thought Nothing could get better, till I herd you sing 😍😍😍
Amazing song, amazing video 🎶⚰🎶
This was very interesting, and I loved it. Thank you.
So amazing
Neil Gaiman now can sing! What's next, opera? ballet? oil on canvas? fly?
I love it!
He can probably do all of that
for some reasons I've waited Buffy to show up. Reminded me to the "Once more with feeling" episode.
This goes on my Halloween playlist immediately.
I'm a Goth so this is on my permanent playlist. 🦇💀🦇
Let's go my king!!!
Brilliant!!!🚦☀🚥
Just lovely! Her sweet voice blend so well with the grim backdrop
Thank you⚰
The singer gifts us the story - pure genius.
Okay I now require a Neil Gaiman Vampire romance.
Next best thing is probably Robin McKinley's "Sunshine" (which I usually describe as "if Twilight was actually good, not deeply toxic, and made you want to eat a lot of cinnamon buns").
Wow great song & Mr Gaiman part......great 👏
HE DID IT, HE SANG PROFESSIONALLY! Came a long way, and makes me softly happy.
FourPlay String Quartet! You guys are amazing!!!
Wooho!! Thank you!

Oh this is just,....incredibly sweet. I've listened to this on repeat for 5 times
Neil is such a gift ❤
Aww!! That's so sad!! Haven't we seen enough teen vampire books to know there's love for her somewhere? She's so cute!
And when there's not, there's food.
Whatever this is its Neil Gaiman and its gotta be good!
I know right
it's just so magical 🔥
I really love your voice Neil
Isn't it the best?
Awesome! More please👻🎃🌵😊
I just listened to the song in transit it's the first one I've heard and it reminded me of Donovan.
Sandman Deluxe Edition was recently published in Korea
I love you gaiman
I didn't know I needed this in my life.
He is doing a Leonard Cohen, with the lyrics.
Great voice and video.
That's such a sad ending 😭
My hero again. Forever and always.
Is that Terry's hat?
Loved this & the perfect Halloween song😀🖤🖤❤❤
Is he wearing one of Terry's hats?
Yes! The very first thing I noticed 💜
Ms. Goodridge - shayna punim! And a voice to match. Mazel tov!
Ha! A shayna dank.
Thank you for this, made my day!

Wonderful! Thank you!

Hell yeah notification on!

Well that's a surprise...Neil Gaiman the singer! Who knew. Well done.
And songwriter!
Well, he's actually sung in front of audiences before:
th-cam.com/video/7uW5RbutIfQ/w-d-xo.html
THAT was great. Halloween #1 eh.
did Neil write the song for this its really good
So excited for this - had sort of given up hope of the collab getting to do anything more
Thanks Jacq! Feel free to go and listen to the B-side and you can also pre-order and pre-save the album! neilandfourplay.lnk.to/bloodysunrise
@@FourPlayStringQuartet done and done!
@@jacqf3583 Woohoo! Hope you love it.
k. so that’s just a wow.
Guess I need to go cry now
...which is not to say I didn't enjoy the video. Too relatable to my own twenties, maybe (except for the undead part. That was easily managed with enough coffee.)
@@CBYequestrian Did you ever resort to feasting on a racoon, though...
Neil Gaiman is pulling a Dr. Dre his is his "They forgot about Neil single"
Because of course he also sings and composes...
IKR?
I loved it 👏🎃🧛♂
Neil Gaiman is the man.... heh, modern Druid.
That was a little sad. I liked it.
BRING IT ON!
cool
