The Graveyard Choir's latest release, "Memphis 3," is a heartbreak story of a city torn apart by tragedy. The writing establishes a Memphis that was once safe and then quickly devolves into grief, suspicion, and unanswered questions. The emotional center of the song is the chorus, 'A long dark cloud', which is repeated throughout. Especially haunting is the image of 'a shoe floating in the muddy river'. Graveyard Choir is about loss; it's about the grief of mothers seeking answers. It's a disturbing, human piece that sticks with you long after the last refrain.
