To all my fellow misfits and vagabonds who took on this song as our anthem... We are still here, we are still relevant, we still trod through life with a hope of something bigger than ourselves.. You are NOT alone. There are many who understand what you feel. I am one of them ...and I love you.

[paullanphear]

Don't know how to express how freaking amazing this remake is. This isn't a piece of music anymore, it's a work of art!

[connivingkhajiit]

I really love seeing how Al seems to be appreciating his older content much more as of recently

[thirdeyes]

OMG Al Jourgensen and Dave Navarro collaborate together and this song makes me shiver down the spine. Stunning.

[rickneal]

I like how you can tell that this song still means something to him. Don't deny your past Al. You really created some amazing things.

[AthenaScissorhands]

I feel like you can see his rediscovered love for this song. I'm happy they filmed the process.

[conradpoos]

I wish Al would do an orchestral version of "I Wanted To Tell Her"

[riekepotters]

Get me the chills, I remember listening to Dark Matter Radio where Al was a guest. Dave Navarro suggested to sing " Halloween" in the studio. Al replied" it's been 30 years that I have performed this song"
Gladly Al accepted the challenge, it was magical!
Thanks, Al and Dave, for this beautiful gift!♥️

discovered WAXTRAX! in 87-88 through college radio legend L.D.(little dave) and his UCF Orlando FL program the INDUSTRIAL FEST. with a "MIND.." tour PSA from AL - "Hi this is Al from MINISTRY .. our true fans are the ones who shoplift our records cuz they'll do anything to hear the new sounds!"
u guys are my culture so thank u !!!!

[JoeMartinez-ozfq]

They just made the song even more electric. Restarting the hearts of us who were honored to have lived, and experienced this new born dynamic era of music changed our lives forever. Showing the younger generations what brought us up to become what we all our now, the future that succeeded to express ourselves inside and out, and still make it in life to work any job, or have a PhD etc.. while looking how we want, saying what we feel, and publicly caring for anyone no matter the gender, color or religion by staying 100% real. The ultimate anthem of our time. We MADE IT!

[ryanhession]

I hate to say this but it gave me goosebumps .

[grimacres]

This will be played at my funeral from the speakers in my casket.. Everyone will receive a copy of the lyrics printed on linen card stock embossed in black and purple. We are all the Thank you for sharing your beautiful talents with those who will listen.

There will never be another Al Jourgensen ever!!!!


Well I live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
'Cause to me everyday is Halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight
Well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
All the people seem to stop and stare
They say "why are you dressed like it's Halloween?
You look so absurd, you look so obscene"
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
Well I let their teeny minds think
That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
'Cause Halloween is everyday
It's everyday
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
I'm not the one that's so absurd
Why hide it why fight it?
Hurt feelings best to stop feeling hurt
Denials, reprisals
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide world
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide world

[grungil]

Halloween is the most shinning pearl in Ministry whole discography. I love this version.

[nancydrew]

“Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me?
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world”

These lyrics mean everything to me

[hans]

What a great rendition of this song. I love how he breaks out that signature gravelly tone foe the last few lines of the song. Beautiful.

[pangeapiercing]

Al, "With Sympathy" is unironically one of my favorite albums. I'd knock an old lady down a flight of stairs to see what you'd do with retro synthpop nowadays, or a country album with Barry Kooda in Dallas.

[trevorsflatroundspun-vinyl]

Absolutely beautiful! I am so happy that Al is [finally] embracing his early past.

[StanHolmes]

25 years ago: /me stomps angrily to Ministry
Today: /me still stomps angrily but meaningfully 'cause I know the lyrics

You guys nailed it. Brought a tear to this old grumpy goth's eye. Thank you.

[melissapyle]

This is, hands down, my favorite version of this song. Amazing. Just amazing guys!
