The Saddest Halloween Song Ever By Ayla Brown
Halloween Disappointment When I moved to Massachusetts
I’ve always taken Halloween wicked seriously. I COMMIT to the costume! I love buying the candy! I get excited to decorate the house and make a crockpot of chili and invite family over. It’s always been a favorite holiday for me. When I lived in Tennessee our neighborhood was huge and filled with really nice homes (and really great candy). Kids came form all over the county to trick-o-treat in our hood. Even across the street from me my neighbor made a Halloween MAZE in her yard with smoke machines, and witches that popped out of coffins, and big candy bars for the kids.
Weymouth Letdown
So, you could imagine my disappointment when I moved from that neighborhood to the one I am in now in Weymouth, MA. In 2019, I went to the store and grabbed HUGE bags of candy for Halloween. I put them all in a gigantic bowl and made my inaugural crock pot chili. I cleaned the house, I put up fun, red and purple colored lights, I went and bought a smoke machine. I was so giddy and excited to hand out candy to all of the kids.
It started to turn dark. And then I got a ring on the doorbell! Oh my gosh our first trick-o-treater, I am SO excited!! I told the kids to just pick out a couple candies because there was going to be a lot of kids coming. Stupid thing to say. The kids left and I stayed in my kitchen waiting for more to come. Tick tok, tik tok. Where was everyone?
I felt so let down. I made a martini to pass the time. Still no one showed. I made another martini. And then I got my guitar out. Tears began running down my face. Does no one like Halloween here in MA? Is my house not decorated enough? Why did I buy SO MUCH CANDY?
Over the course of the night only 8 people stopped by my house. But I wrote a super sad song while the martinis were kicking in. This song is dedicated to anyone who puts in a lot of effort on Halloween, only to be let down every single year!
Lyrics to the Saddest Halloween Song Ever
I got ready for ya, you didn’t notice / Got the house made up, even swept the floors / Lit a candle, and dimmed the lights / I wanted to set the mood for a certain kind of night / But you never showed, you never came, you never even saw my place / You didn’t care that I was there waiting on your face / Look it’s not your fault or anything / I blame myself for taking it too seriously.
