Song Review: The Ballad of Jane Doe Song by Emily Rohm and Ride the Cyclone World Premiere Cast Recording Ensemble
The Ballad of Jane Doe is a haunting and evocative song that tells the story of a young girl who has died and is now an unknown Jane Doe in the morgue. The lyrics are poignant and beautifully written, painting a vivid picture of a life cut short and the mystery surrounding this nameless girl.
The melody is equally powerful, with a melancholic and mournful quality that perfectly captures the mood of the song. The arrangement is minimalistic, consisting mostly of piano and strings, which allows the vocals to shine and gives the song a raw and emotional quality.
Emily Rohm’s vocals are exceptional, conveying both the sadness and the hopelessness of Jane Doe’s situation. The ensemble’s harmonies add depth and texture to the song, creating a haunting and ethereal atmosphere.
The Ballad of Jane Doe is a beautiful and moving song that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or forgotten. Emily Rohm and the Ride the Cyclone World Premiere Cast Recording Ensemble have done an excellent job of capturing the essence of this tragic story and turning it into a powerful piece of music.
The Ballad Of Jane Doe Lyrics
Some might say we’re released
Pushing daisies, deceased
But we all know the worms must be fed
There’s just one lingering fear
Oh my soul, is it here?
Or is it rotting somewhere with my head?
Oh my soul oh my soul
Oh my soul oh my soul
Ooh ooh
Ahh ahh ah
Oh no soul, and no name
And no story, what a shame
Cruel existence was only a sham?
Oh Saint Peter, let me in!
You must know where I’ve been
Won’t you tell me at last who I am?
Who I am who I am
Who I am who I am
Ooh ooh
Ahh ahh ah
And from the ground, beneath my feet
I hear the anguish of the street
A choir never complete
And like an old forgotten tune
A song that no one knows forgot how it goes
Just john and me forever eternally, Jane Doe
And I’m askin’ why lord
If this is how I die, lord
Why be left with no family and no friends?
Ooh
I’ve got no celebration
Just this consolation
Time eats all his children in the end
Ahhh
A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care?
Does anyone care?
Another sad, forgotten tune
Another song that no one knows
So that’s how it goes! Just john and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe
And she’s asking “why, lord?”
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?
“This is no way to die, lord!”
No one to sing, no one to sigh
Now that all is said and done
Isn’t there anyone to tell me who I am?
No singing songs of celebration
(Ah ah ah ah) just this sorry speculation

(Aah ahh)
Like john I’ll be eternally
A forgotten name, some lost refrain
Just “Jane” jane
Doe!
A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care? Jane
Doe
