“Ghost Ranch” is about a romance of ghost lovers, and the resolve of past relationships into new energy and light. The song is a blend of Häana’s ethereal vocals, emotive cinematic strings + plaintive acoustic guitar, to create an electronica landscape to be immersed in—composed at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu NM, where Georgia O’Keefe lived.
lyrics
You held her hand,
Through the night.
Souls long past,
Ghosts before.
Full moon glow,
Petal in her hair.
Sun to dusk,
Not long ago.
Lover’s tryst,
At midnight.
Dusty boots,
‘Neath the stars.
Horses neigh,
Dust in the wind.
Souls be free,
Ghosts of this place.
Pink mountains,
Shadows long.
Spurs jangling,
Hint of perfume.
Safe in your embrace,
Safe in your embrace.
Safe in your embrace,
Safe in your embrace.
