Album Update

Looks like a rethink is on the cards. I already mixed a track called "Old Computer Instrumental" for the album but its sibling "I Remember Old Computer" (no musical relation) will just not hang together right and one song won't work without the other on the album.

I think I'm going to save that pairing for a future single or EP and write and record a new song specifically for the album. Sonically, it might work better as the Computer songs have that great 8 bit synth sound on them but they might no sit well next to the guitar-based songs.

That means the album will most likely be 8 songs which is great because a) I can think of plenty of classic albums I enjoy that have only 8 songs and b) some of the songs are longer than the usual 3-4 minutes so the running time will still clock in at about 35-40 mins which is good for the old attention span.

The artwork for the album has been photographed too (Sample coming soon) and now I'm deciding on what to call this recording.

We Are Finally Happy For Standing Still

Hall of Ghosts - We Are Finally Happy For Standing Still by hallofghosts


Mixing has begun. The first track I'm working on is a rocky pop song, "We Are Finally Happy For Standing Still". This was one of the first new songs written for Hall Of Ghosts. I'll post the track up here soon :

In a glass house
there is room to run out
there is space to believe

Early morning dust
to the daylight thrust
this is something I need

And now I'm ready
I think I'm ready

Sing out loud
it's getting simpler now
I disappear in a horseless town

How old are we?
inside a photograph
we live again where the pages part

And now I'm ready
I think I'm ready

We are finally happy for standing still
I can feel myself loving you
we are finally living 
for going nowhere
and this is us I'm talking about

On the far frontier
where the message is clear
we'll hibernate 'til the summer breaks

Give me endless air
hold me into the chair
I'm given all unto gravity

And now I'm ready
I think I'm ready

We are finally happy for standing still
I can feel myself loving you
we are finally living
for going nowhere
and this is us I'm talking about

I was lonely out on the rail
slowly coming undone
but you helped me change
yeah, you changed me
