about
This song about loosing a loved one, pain and longing is a mysterious, dark, loving and reflective ode. Contemplating where we go after death, how we stay in touch with those we have lost and how do we move on.
Solo soul searching in the shadows, electric forests, nature and a feeling of the spirit or spirits that may stay close, watching over us. Sad yet strong and triumphant. A search for meaning in loss, asking us to settle with changes and be at peace with yourself.
lyrics
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Where did you go?
In a cloud of smoke, white cotton…
How Could we know
These precious stones
Would be taken away
Why did you run
You had the chance
To stay and fight , fight with me
The wars almost over, you said
Now are we winning?
Chorus
These old ghosts
Play me so close
Appear in my dreams
Couple of friends, some of my family
Some of my enemies
I can’t believe
That I’m alive, That I survived
We live and die
While the spirits sing
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I will carry your bones
Sleep sweet my friend
The heaviest stone
I know it’s hard all alone
to meet your end
At the beginning again
Sands of time keep slipping down
The smallest grains are sifting now
Pressing the wine beneath our feet
The signs are shifting into the light
CHORUS
These old ghosts
Play me so close
Appear in my dreams
Couple of friends, some of my family
Some of my enemies
I can’t believe
That I’m alive, That I survived
We live and die
While the spirits sing
Oh Oh oh oh
