There's little comfort in an oboe

 

It isn’t so much barometric pressure, or cloud cover.  Sometimes temperature has a little to do with it, but not always.  It is many things that combine to create that eerie feeling.  Its thick and hangs in the atmosphere like a wet sock.  No one is immune to it.   Horror films depend on it and writers, tucked away in their corners consume large amounts of coffee while under its spell.

Country music has ignored it completely.  In fact, there are no songs at all that sing of the dread, the potential gloom that eerie brings.  When it is eerie outside, a cold chill can run along your spine, a sudden shiver can hit you out of nowhere.  You keep looking over your shoulder, expecting the worst.  Your temper grows short, you’ve no time for that lame shopping cart or a visit from your mother-in-law, not today.
