40 Graves to Hollywood - Movie Stars' & Celebrities' Graves

The title of this piece was inspired by the classic Hollywood film, "5 Graves to Cairo."

Dress darkly in apparel worn smartly
Mortician colors would appear no worse
Than the raven's hue dyed on his and hearse
Traipse through black drapes
Tour at random, move as a phantom
Let them scoff at us 'cause we dig a cool sarcophagus
We'll still marvel at the marble and the cracks in the plaques
We'd lift each lid and peek if we could
Inside the 40 graves to Hollywood

wheres this music from...whats it called

@edimage

The title of the main piece is "Visitors." It comes from music collections recorded especially for, and sold to, videographers for just such purposes. Three separate pieces from two or three different collections were edited and combined to create this score.

Very nice video. Superbly done, I'll be visiting LA later this month and I plan to check out many of these gravesites.

Mel Blanc, 'That's all folks'! lol...so sweet, I actually had tears in my eyes.

@jimamia77 genius, just move & live there till then, or just put it in your will. and anyway, after it happens, no matter where you are, you're not gonna feel anything anyway!

I've come back to watch this often. It's so well put together. I love Rudy Valentino and can't wait to some day visit his final resting place....

I wanna be a star just so I can be buried in Southern California! I would not have to worry about being too cold or getting soaked in puddles of water from rain! My body shall rest in peace and comfort! L.A. climate is awesome!!!
