Ring Around the Rosies | Tim Burton Style Music Video

Ring Around the Rosies is one of the most haunting nursery rhymes in the English-speaking world. Beneath its simple melody lies a dark image of sickness, flowers, ashes, and children falling to the ground.

The rhyme is often linked to the time of the plague, when “ring around the rosies” evokes the fatal rash, “a pocket full of posies” recalls flowers carried against the stench of death, “ashes, ashes” suggests bodies turned to ash, and “we all fall down” becomes a chilling image of lives suddenly cut short.

In this version, the old rhyme is reimagined as a gothic 19th-century fairground filled with carousels, drifting ash, skeleton children, and a strange dreamlike sense of death and play. What begins like a children’s circle song turns into a dark little fairytale about plague, innocence, and the eerie beauty of forgotten nursery rhymes.
