Say you stayed home
Alone with the flu
Find out from friends
That wasn’t true

Go out at night
With your headphones on again
And walk through
The Manhattan valleys of the dead

Didn’t want to be your ghost
Didn’t want to be anyone’s ghost…

~ The National

Staying with the Irish Faerie theme, this is my interpretation of the Banshee.
A banshee is a female spirit in Irish folklore who heralds the death of a family member, usually by wailing, shrieking, or keening. Her name is connected to the mythologically important tumuli or “mounds” that dot the Irish countryside, which are known as síde in Old Irish.
