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.
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.
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!!!
I'd love to see and hear her live. Sadly I don't believe I ever will as I won't be travelling to the US any time soon and she doesn't appear to tour overseas.
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.
The early 90s was such an embarassment of riches for unique, non-corporate music...music like this could never have gotten exposure at any other time. ❤ forever O.P.!!!
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.
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.
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 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.
How is it someone like Mary Fahl with such an incredibly beautiful voice isn’t more well known. A well kept secret but thx to TH-cam I found her and her music.
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!
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.
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.
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,
I saw and heard October Project for the first time ever in September 1994, opening for Sarah McLachlan. To this day, they are the best opening act I ever saw.
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.
Wow...Powerful. I think the video depicts an older women coming to terms with being sexually abused. All the imagery of the loss of innocence...the child in the ghost costume with the filthy sheets scaring the other kids....the baby in the grave.....the old women and the very end holding the child that was lost. The song and video brings tears to my eyes.
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

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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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!!!!!!!!
There were back in the 90s. Check out some of these: Siddal, LoveSpiralsDownwards, Human Drama, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Faith and The Muse, Miranda Sex Garden, Love Is Colder Than Death, and everything on the Projekt label. We called this stuff ethereal m7sic or ethereal goth back then. Hope this helps, let me know if you want more.
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.
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.
Beginning a video with a little baby inside a grave is quite powerful. Connects you inmediately with the mood and with the song. Makes you uncomfortable and sad, it captures you and makes you pay attention. Sadly, I think many people can feel identify and connected with the theme of this song, because many children suffer for many reasons, and those memories stay within. It happens, it is true, only no one likes to talk about this.
(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).......

What the hell happened to that girl, lady and eventually woman?? Good gravy this will give you nightmares...that said, unbelievably awesome voice and power. Just gut-wrenching.
I bought the CD when it came out. I listened to it today while driving my car. I also play this amazing song several times on TH-cam before going to bed :-)

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.
Great taste in music your mother has, Dead can Dance? Loranina Makennit? First I think of with October Project.
Sorry for your loss😞😞

I was one of the ghosts in this video-was shot in Carnation, Washington
Very impressive
That had to be a splendid experience. Great Song and a Great Video. I salute you. Really 😊
This album is one of my all time favorites. Her voice is memorizing and haunting. Outstanding!
Great songs and Mary's wonderful bleak voice showcases them all perfectly.

Woah !!!! That’s a haunting story. Sorry for your loss. The band members sounded thoughtful to dedicate the song that evening to your colleague.
I'm sorry to read this story. Peace with you all and to his family.

Mary's voice is a National treasure. I've seen her twice in concert
You got it
I'd love to see and hear her live. Sadly I don't believe I ever will as I won't be travelling to the US any time soon and she doesn't appear to tour overseas.

My Dad loved them. Almost a month since he’s been gone after a long illness. I miss him so much. This is cathartic. Thank you ❤
The early 90s was such an embarassment of riches for unique, non-corporate music...music like this could never have gotten exposure at any other time. ❤ forever O.P.!!!

I am from Trinidad and Tobago and I am very grateful. This brings back old memories.
Loving this song
Yes me too!!
@@nerissaagard7264 yes !!
What a beautiful-powerful voice she has! October Project should have not disappeared into obscurity like so many other bands from the 1990s.
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.
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!
I’m sorry for your loss. She’s still with you in Spirit.
@@agua9999 Thank you
Hauntingly beautiful voice.
I could listen to that voice for the rest of my life, and I'm doing just that. Live well all.😊
One of the greatest songs from a spectacularly beautiful album. OP Rules!!!!
When I first heard this band It was a spiritual event, Mary Fahl has one of the most amazing voices ever!
When I first saw their video”bury my lovely” the shot stood up on my arms and I had an Edger Allen Poe moment.
Mary fahl perfection in all ways,I am in love with you
This is superb music! Her voice is so unique and haunting! Just love it.
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.

Check out the song “Black Heart” by Calexico. It’s just as haunting.

October Project was a hidden gem that corporate media left out
LOVE THIS!!! I saw them live years ago...they opened for Sarah McLaughlin and the audience was blown away! Never got the props they deserved!
I discovered this song from the movie blown away many years ago I finally looked up the artist and it’s beautiful band
Completely agree!
This track is an absolute masterpiece.
I loved this song as a kid. I was in Ohio for a while and it played on the radio there. It makes me teary eyed to this day.
Me too. I can't help but think that Evanescence, as great as they are, built on Mary Fahl.
I NEED to know more about this band, her voice is incredible!
What a band. I remember the good old days when you could see this on MTV. This song still gets me after 12 years. Deeply moving.
Man these guys take me back to them sweet 90's. I swear they were the best years.
They were.
Mine too.... 😭
Actually; they sucked big time....
You'r absolutly right!!

Musick will tell you when you're ready for it. And, when you need it.

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.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my entire life. Amazing.
Since I first saw this haunting video in 1993, I have been incarcerated by the tyranny of Mary Fahls voice and beauty.
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,
The whole album is a treasure. If only they did more.....
Haunting. What is more infectious: Mary's voice or her beauty?
Can't I say Both! and be right?
I saw and heard October Project for the first time ever in September 1994, opening for Sarah McLachlan. To this day, they are the best opening act I ever saw.
October Project was awesome.
You mean is. They're still active: Marina Belica, Julie Flanders and Emil Adler.
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.
This song puts me in the mood for Halloween
My radio alarm clock woke me playing "Paths of Desire." I didn't go to work that day - I went to the record store.
Wow...Powerful. I think the video depicts an older women coming to terms with being sexually abused. All the imagery of the loss of innocence...the child in the ghost costume with the filthy sheets scaring the other kids....the baby in the grave.....the old women and the very end holding the child that was lost. The song and video brings tears to my eyes.
Mary Fahl and October Project ...dream of reality of music !!! 😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I got the CD when it first came out. Freaking amazing! 2 hours to 2021, and it’s just as beautiful today, as it was when I first listened to it.
I'm listening to October Project Bury My Lovely early May 2021
IT’S MAY 2024! 😂 ON THE NIGHT OF THE FULL MOON 🌝 WOW! Definitely not a coincidence!
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
BRING BACK THE GNARLY PERCUSSION DRUMS! IT’S THE FULL MOON 🌝 NIGHT OF MAY 2024! Omg, making this 52 year old dude cry. Again.
It still amazes me that OP isn't more well-known. I've been spinning these songs for 30 years and they still give me chills.
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
A picture woth 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 her
A figure in the hallway light
Returning like a ghost
Something that was left behind
Something in a child's mind
A picture woth 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
Bury my lovely
Bury the lies
Bury me under
A thousand goodbyes
A shadow from another time
Is waiting in the night
Something happened long ago
Something that will not let go
A picture woth 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
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.
this song is hauntingly beautiful just like the lead vocalist...I've watched it over & over. I haven't heard this in years, so haunting...I love it!
SAD THEY AREN'T TOGETHER ANYMORE!
One of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard...the voice of an angel...
The most tear's i have ever shed for a band , I LOVE YOU guy's for ever .................
Beautiful !!!! 1994 💓💓💓💓

I love this song for years now..A timeless classic...
Yes a beautiful song and that beautiful voice .
Ain't that a shame that there's no video of Ariel...one of the best songs of the 90's for me
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.
One of the videos that captured perfectly the music. I will never forget it.
October Project is so underrated, it’s sad. This music is so beautiful 😍
is it weird i blast this roughly 8 times on my 45min drive home daily?
Stunning song, beautifully done. Bravo.
Mary has possibly the maybe the best female voice in the music today
I'd rate her right up there-But what I think would be more difficult to argue with is if you said the most unique voice.
I first heard this over 15 years ago lol. Still holds up. So beautiful, enchanting and haunting
I so miss them...
My mom passed last Sunday and she loved this band. It's beautiful 😢 rest in love mom
la voz de mary fahl se siente como si quisiera romper los límites de la realidad !
How can Mary sing so beautifully. It's like a Voice from Heaven, not Earth...
just that part "no one will never know you are here..."
Masterpiece, finnest music, great and classy voice. State of the art
Beginning a video with a little baby inside a grave is quite powerful. Connects you inmediately with the mood and with the song. Makes you uncomfortable and sad, it captures you and makes you pay attention.
Sadly, I think many people can feel identify and connected with the theme of this song, because many children suffer for many reasons, and those memories stay within. It happens, it is true, only no one likes to talk about this.
Great song!!!!!!👋👋👋👋👋
hauntingly beautiful
haunting and beautiful.
Great song and album . Saw October Project and Sarah McLachlan in Park City and long time ago . One of my favorite concerts !
Man, I remember this from high school.
El primer disco de October Project es uno de los más hipnóticamente bellos de los noventa.
Complex in the greatest way!
I LOVE this band!!!
I've seen Mary twice. I'm so lucky
i love this song

@Happy Traveller October Project Bury My Lovely is one of my favorite song

I worked in a music store back then and we would listen to this album all the time
I saw this video first when I was 14, and it creeped me out but somehow I loved it also. Very underrated of course.

@Bill Whitton Heartfelt condolences
Mary Fahl, uma Deusa.
Oh, How I Love This Song!!!
About the one song that's ever made me feel truly sorrowful.
São lindas as musicas do october project
I bought the CD when it came out. I listened to it today while driving my car. I also play this amazing song several times on TH-cam before going to bed :-)
Time's the kiiller - too many memories
