Produced by Dave Skelton (Rofi James, Rachel), the original track, ‘Ghosts Of The Past’, is a part love letter, part apology. “While it holds a deep message, it is also a funky and intense modern rock track that builds tension and explodes into a powerful chorus”
lyrics
Oh girl you’re a work of art
Your eyes run deep, I can’t follow
It’s in the way you create, you heal the palate, I hold my gaze
Oh girl you cut to the heart
The symmetry at work is clear (elevated from the start)
To know it even from the start (show me where I’ve been)
Ever free in movement, we see the future, you glance my way
Oh girl you’re a work of art
Chorus
And you feel in the moment, there’s a reason to be hopeful
Seal the gate we’ll rid the ghosts of the past.
Oh girl you like to create (fleshed out easy to escape)
See the walls turn red to black (introduction to the night)
We know the content should be, as interesting as it could be
Oh girl you play the part
Chorus
And you feel in the moment, there’s a reason to be hopeful
Seal the gate we’ll rid the ghosts of the past
And we feel in the moment, there’s a reason to be hopeful
Seal the gate we’ll rid the ghosts of the past.
Bridge
You baby, you baby, are extraordinary
You make me, you make me, feel very ordinary
You baby, you baby, are extraordinary
You make me, you make me, feel very ordinary.
Chorus/Outro
And you feel in the moment, there’s a reason to be hopeful
Seal the gate we’ll rid the ghosts of the past
And we feel in the moment, there’s a reason to be hopeful
Seal the gate we’ll rid the ghosts of the past.
