about
I'm A Ghost is the second release in my explorations with Americana and aging. The song incorporates inflections of soul, garage and easy listening with vocal stylings in the vein of Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter. Lyrically it deals with friendship fallouts in adulthood as experienced by many during the pandemic. Although the act of ghosting is seen negatively by most, it is heard here as an act or lack of acting to bring peace of mind.
lyrics
I’m so bored of being fooled by you
Everyone’s heads on fire
busy making up the truth
I’m no angel born to be of service
For borrowed blood you can’t convince me
To give my time to you
I no longer give my time to you
Too bad you wanna make up
It’s too bad
You think you’re so precious
maybe that’s good for you
I don’t need a pardon
To disappear from your view
There’s nothing left to abuse
I’m floating on to the greenest pastures
Lucky cause I’ve lost you
I’m feeling lucky cause I’ve lost you
No situations
messy breakups
No losing all my patience
Sad Bastards
Smug Backstabbers
You better quit blowing up my phone
I’m a ghost
I know what I heard and what I saw
I know when I have had enough
I know what I heard and what I saw
I know when I have had enough

I’m in a coffee shop, drawing… then a mesmerizing song comes on… I Shazam it… 2 minutes later I’m on Bandcamp listening to this amazing album. Two songs later I’m buying the vinyl. Gorgeous songs with great voice, instrumentals, and backing harmonies. PLEASE ask me to do some cover art in the future! John Mavroudis
