Written by Taylor Swift, the title song of the film inspired by a book with the same name ' Where the Crawdads sing'. The book was beautifully written, and the film was very truthful to the book. And i specially like how Ms. Swift penned down the music and lyric, not only telling the story within a song, but also creating an atmosphere that suited perfectly for the story.

Oh, Carolina creeks, running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came, lonesome I'll always stay
Carolina knows why for years I roam
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Carolina knows
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she's in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I'll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Carolina stains, on the dress she left
Indelible scars, pivotal marks, blue as the life she fled
Carolina pines, won't you cover me?
Hide me like robes down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me
And she's in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave, I'll make a fist, I'll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Oh, Oh, Oh
And you didn't see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn't see me here
They never saw me
Oh, Carolina knows
Why for years they've said
That I was guilty as sin
And sleep in a liar's bed
But the sleep comes fast
And I'll meet no ghosts
It's between me, the sand, and the sea
Carolina knows.

Joshua Bo Gallotti: @qwirky Hi Bro, firstly, thanks for stopping by, secondly, you are right saying that the song has its haunting atmosphere. i guess it was because the story/movie required it. The story was about a young girl growing up without parents, and how she struggled to find her happiness after freeing herself from a murder accusation.

Joshua Bo Gallotti: @bevb Thanks Bev. i wonder have you watched this movie or read the book. The word you chose 'hauntingly' is the perfect adjective for this song. The story was about a young girl growing up without parents, and how she struggled to find her happiness after freeing herself from a murder accusation.

Keith Wallin: @divolino Your soft treatment of the lyrics makes the listener sit up and pay attention to the message that the lyrics convey. You emote these lyrics extremely well. This could serve a a soundtrack behind the scenes in the movie. Very well done, my friend....:-)

Joshua Bo Gallotti: @bevb Hallo Bev. Terribly sorry for the late reply & the 'Thank You' i want to say to you. i guess i should not complain when business is good, but, not being ungrateful, i wouldn't mind to have a moment to sing, occasionally.

Joshua Bo Gallotti: @love Thank, dear Scarlet. i am really sorry that this Taylor Swift song has not been nominated for Oscar, for me, not only the music reflect the atmosphere of the story, but also the lyric told the story like the book.
