The topic of a dead man coming for his beloved and taking her back into his grave is a very common motif in folk songs across the world. Anej stumbled across this one when looking through old books of Slovene ballads. No notation came with the poem so it was set to music by Ana Novak. Actress Anja Novak provided her own chilling interpretation, creating an appropriate atmosphere.
