Of A Ghost [PREVIEW]

Scandinavian popadelic noire wrapped in both plastic and rusty chains... A synthesis between Jodorowsky and Astrid Lindgren... Everything dwells within the visuals of both color and sound, in the timeless story told by the logos within.

I’ve been in love with music my whole life, but for the past two years, I stopped just listening and started speaking through it. Every verse I write comes from a real place… pain, power, truth, and the grind that shaped me.

I don’t box myself in. I pull from everywhere , Hip Hop, R&B, Rock, even a little Country. If it hits the soul, I’m with it. Music don’t care about your age, who you love, or where you came from, and neither do I.

This is more than a hobby… it’s my release, my voice, my rebellion.
If something I say hits you in the chest , then yeah, I did my job.
Welcome to MY story. 📖

Let’s make it timeless.
Let’s make it real.

@32rabbitsinabusinesssuit for the rough parts.

Sometimes it takes a while before it is time. My journey has been a long one but eventually the train stopped here and I got off to have a look back down the line.
These songs are a collection from an accumulation of thoughts, feelings and encounters, engagement with life issues, what it is to be human and fragile....It's a slow train.... Welcome to Velvet Hall Station.

Yes, that's me.
Up there in the sky.
Smiling.
And watching you.
Ceiling cat is a pussy.

Samhain
The púca
Of all the ghosts and fairies abroad on Halloween, the púca (or pooka) was the most feared and October 31st was known as Púca Night in parts of Ireland. The púca, meaning 'goblin', can be malevolent or benevolent and is not solely associated with Halloween. It's a mythological fairy and the ultimate shapeshifter, capable of appearing in a variety of forms but most commonly as a dark horse or part dog.

Spring Solstice


Winter Solstice 
The Winter Solstice is an astronomical phenomenon that marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice occurs on 21 or 22 December, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. At sunrise on the shortest day of the year, for 17 minutes, direct sunlight can enter the Newgrange monument, not through the doorway, but through the specially contrived small opening above the entrance known as the ‘roof box’, to illuminate the Chamber.

April
First swallow of the year
Welcome, welcome
From out of mud in lakes
Were you resting there?



March

Unveils like a first thought
A whisper



February

"Nothing stands out yet", you said
As you looked over your shoulder
Broad and rounded, square and hunched
I thought I heard you say, "We are water
And over time we solidify"

January
Snow white egret
among fields of greenandbrown
Are you lost in its vastness?
Bubulcus ibis.

DE-cem- ber
Silver EEL migration 
down river to the sea
on a moonless night

through
an obstcale 
of nets
Cutting blades
pollution
And 
Par -a -sites
White egret



December
Mild to touch, not yet winter
snow drop dropping still
daffodil 

November, can I surrender to your dying
Are you truly dying or surrendering



Is it not enough to be ALIVE, autumn 
As birds migrate thousands of miles, autumn
Of an inner stirring and outward knowing

Is BE-ING
to Our Mind
bor -ing

As summer turns, it turns
To autumn, autumn
The slugs and worms live at the root; 
The slugs eat the juice of carrot
Is it good for their EyEs too...?

I buried a 'th' in the soil
With vowels and nettles
And I, this eyE, aye, oh
This What...?
This sometimes
Known thing
Doesn't kNOW oh oh

Winter take, take these
Sor rows, lay them
Deep ee eep
To become worms
for the birds to eat


ever ever
Denied to
