This instrumental is a cover of the “tone poem” of the same name by composer Saint-Saëns, originally for orchestra.

The original piece tells the story of the dead awaking from their graves on midnight of Halloween. They spend the night dancing before the rooster crows at dawn and they settle back into their graves for the rest of the year.

Interestingly, the Oh Hellos’s version does not end with the rooster crowing. Instead of somberly ending where it started, it rather ends in the middle of the joyous celebration. This fits well with both the previous track’s rapturous declaration of freedom from Wormwood’s grasp, and the next track’s allusion to Ezekiel 37, where new life is breathed into the dry bones.
