Death and music

Lancaster Online discusses the relation between death and art throughout the ages and recalls the fact that,

Death is the subject of numerous popular novels, including “Love Story,” “The Bell Jar,” “Little Women,” “Wuthering Heights,” “Charlotte's Web,” “Frankenstein” and “Dracula.” (Jane Holahan)

The New European features folk musician Shirley Collins.

Think about what fires and inspires great literature. Passion, intensity, strong characters, gripping stories, powerful imagery, a timelessness of theme and emotion that can make something written in, say, the 18th century still seem fresh and relevant today.
The same ingredients also apply to great music, meaning that a crossing of the genres often provides memorable creations: Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights and Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are arguably the highest profile examples, but did you know that T'Pau's China In Your Hand is about Mary Shelley and Frankenstein?
