Volunteers

Volunteers by hallofghosts

"Volunteers" is the second track to be mixed from the upcoming LP. It's a fairly uptempo rock tune with a bit of a soul feel to it.

I am a volunteer in this life 
giving myself without return
there's nothing answered in me

I am a translator of your heart
open sky and empty road
this is what we planted

I'll not come up for air
a grey-blue abyss
like an empty kiss

We are all just volunteers
fighting a lost cause
as a lifetime rolls out to the past
I know this will last
I know we will last

I am a visitor to your dreams
even though we'll never meet
you'll feel me living on through you

I am an evergreen on this hill
weather was never my enemy
not when I had you near to me

I'll not come up for air
a grey-blue abyss
like an empty kiss

We are all just volunteers
fighting a lost cause
as a lifetime rolls out to the past
I know this will last
I know we will last

I'll hear you singing
in an unlocked room
your smile is with me always
i'll hold on tight so you won't let go
don't leave me on my own
don't leave me on my own

We are all just volunteers
Here we are

Welcome to Hall Of Ghosts

I've nearly finished recording the first Hall Of Ghosts album so it's time to go public.

Demos for my new "solo band" began in 2010 when I decided to return to a one man recording project, after several years of gigging and recording in the alt.country/indie band Additional Moog. The music for Hall Of Ghosts is a natural extension/progression of the material written for Admoog.

Nine songs will make up the new, as yet untitled, album. They are "The Volunteers" / "Hall Of Ghosts" / "We Are Finally Happy For Standing Still" / "Old Computer Instrumental" / "I Remember Old Computer" / "Tonight, It's Over" / "Bye Bye, Big Blue" / "A Random Quiet" / "Giant Water".

I'll start mixing the album this April and hope to get it out for the summer. There'll be a CD along with mp3 and 24 bit FLAC versions. In the meantime, mixes and work in progress will be posted on this site via Soundcloud.
