Name: I Missed It! by Bruce Essar

Description: In the 60's The Monkees had a big hit with The Last Train to Clarksville. I thought what would have happened if the train left the station without you, how would that alter the lyrics?

Ghost of My Hero by Shirlinda is a haunting blend of rock, goth rock, darkwave, and dungeon synth, weaving ethereal melodies with gritty, driving beats. The album’s atmosphere is thick with mystery, drawing from classic hard rock riffs and dark ambient soundscapes. Shirlinda’s vocals, layered with both whisper-soft harmonies and powerful belts, float like ghostly apparitions, conveying both melancholy and resilience. Synth-heavy tracks evoke a retro-futuristic vibe, reminiscent of old-world gothic aesthetics but tinged with modern synthwave and dark electronica influences.

Lyrically, Ghost of My Hero explores themes of loss, solitude, and memory. Each track feels like an exploration of an ancient, shadowed landscape where haunting echoes and distant thunder provide the sonic backdrop. Guitar riffs and bass lines are intense and hypnotic, grounding the ethereal synth melodies and drawing listeners into a labyrinth of sound. The title track, "Ghost of My Hero," is a powerful anthem that combines Shirlinda’s storytelling with her unique blend of post-punk and industrial rock influences.

The album appeals to fans of underground music scenes, with tracks that range from pulsating dungeon synth compositions to brooding gothic ballads. It’s an album that lingers, like the memory of a distant figure whose presence remains in both light and shadow, offering both a tribute to and a reimagining of the darker realms of music.

Ghost Of My Hero

Battle Hymn of Shadows

Snowflakes kiss the windowpane
Gentle whispers through the night
Stardust sparkles past the moon
Hearts entwined in soft delight

Silent night skies hold us close
Love shines bright with dreams anew
Whispered tales and warm embrace
In your eyes the world's aglow

Silent Night Skies Hold Us Close

Words and Music Dave Rose
In addition to my attempts at music I was a nurse for over 30 years and increasingly witnessed the impact of Alzheimers on patients, their partners and their families. Tragic.
Apology for such a sad subject to write a song about but it may resonate with people.
Also I have sung the second verse in French, for my French listeners, so apologies if it sounds wrong to French listeners. (Franglais 😊)
Headphones recommended.
Lyrics

No regrets, no memories
of life of love of home of family

They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
But looking at you now i'm not so sure

Aucun regret, Pas de souviners
De la vie, de l'amour
De la maison, et de famille

They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
But looking at you now I'm not so sure

But now and then this darkness lifts and a light returns
And this flame that seemed to flicker out ignites again and burns
And a smile returns
And you take my hand 
then say these words...

I've no regrets, I've only memories
Of a life, of love of home of family
I've no regrets.......

No Regrets

It's a long road to hell but we're making good time

This is a song dedicated to Ursula and Hannah, my sisters I never knew, who died in 1971


Two broken lives, never born,
two roses that were  torn,
Sisters who could have been,
Never close, never seen.


A sweet word, a tender piece,
That would have been nice.
Indulge in joy and life,
Not in these wounds of knife
 


ursula and hannah 
today I cry for you
ursula and hannah 
can I live without you?


Two broken lives, now we see,
Bound together, eternally.
Sisters lost but not in vain,
In my heart, you'll remain.

Two shadows, lost and cold,
Dreams untold, hearts too bold,
Lives that never saw the light,
In the silence of the night.




ursula and hannah 
today I cry for you
ursula and hannah 
can I live without you?



ursula and hannah 
today I cry for you
ursula and hannah 
can I live without you?
