Cemetery is a song by Australian rock band Silverchair, released as the single from their second album, Freak Show. The song was released as single album on June 13, 1997. Cemetery was also included on their Best of Volume 1.
Cemetery was originally composed by frontman Daniel Johns as a solo acoustic piece while still living at home. Originally, Johns had no intention of including it on a Silverchair album.
In interviews, he revealed that he was initially apprehensive about presenting Cemetery even to his bandmates due to its soft and delicate nature, fearing that he would be ridiculed for creating a ballad.
However, once Johns played the solo acoustic recording for his bandmates, they enjoyed it immensely, and Johns then felt confident enough to include it on Freak Show.
