LYRICS:
I’ve heard this tune before
Independence from what
It’s early Washington
But I can’t keep my eyes shut
Get in the car, let’s go
See where we end up tomorrow
We live in cursive
Bring me back down again

I’ve heard this tune before
In the 1990’s probably
We built a prison cell
It’s a handmade do-it-yourself
Take the guitar instead 
Smash it in a million pieces
We’re close, I’ve found it
Freedom ain’t where you think 

I’ve heard this tune before
Independence from what
It’s early Washington 
But I can’t keep my eyes shut
In part, I’m angry
Frustrated by the lapsing time
Listen here, I’m doing just fine
This heatwave is clouding my mind
Get in the car, let’s go
Whatcha think about Colorado
We live in cursive
Bring me back down again

Cursive

rakey’s “The Ghosts I Know” is a melodic bargaining and realization over this simple notion: to be human is to be reminded of your histories again and again in an echo. Words can mark for life and experiences spark inevitable and sometimes seismic shifts. But a life spent aimlessly floating is no replacement for the gravity and gift of being human.

The track is sonically captivating, marrying hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies with unique synthesizers and progressive drum samples while staying grounded in roots of indie folk songwriting

LYRICS:

I want to go downtown and sit in the city
without running into a ghost
write down all of my feelings about my new life on the east coast
I want to make out with my favorite new person
without being 10 years old
and re-living words I wish
I never heard in an echo

maybe if I float around 
like all the ghosts I know
they’ll haunt someone else instead
and leave me all alone 

I want to go back to soho or brooklyn
this year without missing you
how can I miss someone who made
me feel so sad without trying to

and I want to visit the new church downtown and not
ache like I always do
gaslighting myself
playing back why I left 
“why’d you have to?”

maybe if I float around 
like all the ghosts I know
they’ll haunt someone else instead
and leave me all alone 

maybe if I float around 
like all the ghosts I know
they’ll haunt someone else instead
and leave me all alone 

and I could go on living in a
whisper no one knows
but I’d miss you way too much
and I’d just
hang out in your home

The Ghosts I Know

Newcastle-based singer songwriter Jake Houlsby is very pleased to announce the release of his indie folk-infused debut EP ‘Yannina’.

Having previously released material under the guise of Suntrapp, Jake stepped out of the limelight six months ago to consider his artistic direction and is now ready to return and release music under his own name.

The folkster has gained widespread acclaim in the last few years with national radio airplay on BBC 6 Music courtesy of Lauren Laverne and Tom Robinson as well as considerable blog coverage on the likes of The 405, For Folk’s Sake and The Mad Mackerel.

In 2013, Jake was also the proud recipient of the Alan Hull Award for Songwriting in addition to being selected for the Roundhouse 3030 Project which saw him perform at the Roundhouse Rising Festival.

The talented folk musician has clearly honed his craft on the live scene and is ready to kick off this new phase of his career with a series of live shows dedicated to debut release ‘Yannina’.

The six-track EP will feature tracks including title track ‘Yannina’, ‘Fuel For The Fire’ and ‘Beyond All This’ and promises to show a side to him we’ve never seen before.

‘Yannina’ is officially released on Monday 8th June.

"WILD CHILD" LYRICS:

I sleep all my days,
I live all my nights,
Stumbling home in the morning light,
You see, I confess it, I know I’m a mess,
Blonde haired girl in a war-torn dress,

Woah, well bless my soul,
Living on love & rock and roll,
Woah, what do I know,
Living on love & rock and roll,
Like a wild child,

Girls will be girls,
And boys will be fools,
But I gotta say I love ‘em when they break the rules,
Let’s drink to our future then throw it away,
I ain’t got no money though I just got paid,

Woah, well bless my soul,
Living on love & rock and roll,
Woah, what do I know,
Living on love & rock and roll,
Like a wild child,
Wild child,

Friends, we’ll sing till the end,
Time won’t come ‘round again,
But I’ll make it through with you,

Out in the desert,
Under the stars,
Sleeping with you in your Daddy’s car,
Whatever may come,
Whatever, don’t care,
No one can say that we went nowhere,

Woah, well bless my soul,
Living on love & rock and roll,
Woah, what do I know,
Living on love & rock and roll,
Like a wild child,
Wild child,
