CD Ghost Discography

Darklight has two meanings for me. 

First it's a portrait.. you could even call it a love letter, to the independent producer community. People often only see the end result of a track. the polished final product. What most people don't realise is the sheer volume of hard work that goes into personal and skills development,  technical competencies, mixing, mastering, sound design and composition. 
Then there's marketing, promotion, branding, networking, social media management, ads and analytics... all of which is underpinned by a 24/7 focus to do their best work every day. 
And it's hard. Especially when you get flippant comments from playlist curators (literally every artist I know has experienced this) who really should know better...

Many producers quit. All producers find some days harder than others, trying to make space for their passion alongside work, family and life in general. But sheer determination and commitment pushes them on, through the dark days, to find th moment where something clicks. The adrenalin from producing something that expresses that which you intended, perfectly. There's no better feeling. 

It's also a self portrait. 

Darklight has been a hugely challenging production to complete - 63 tracks,. 11 changes and a lot of clashing sounds in the early stages of development .But I'm really proud of the final product. It encapsulates the sound I want to make. A blend of light ethereal sounds, coupled with dark undertones. A fusion of dark and light. Energy and trepidation. 
I'm so happy with the result and I truly hope you enjoy it!

Darklight

In the gray garden I am here to see you 
Atemporal feeling I see clear tonight 
And have you heard tomorrow never comes 
In the gray garden meet me here and we’ll see 

Count the days they pass so slowly 
In my way the past it holds me 
Future promised never came at all 
No fantasy will do 

In the gray garden I am here to see you 
Atemporal feeling I see clear tonight 
And have you heard tomorrow never comes 
In the gray garden meet me here and we’ll see 

Time breaks down now words they melt away 
Yet here we are life it finds a way 
Everybody reach out to the one alone 

In the gray garden I am here to see you 
Atemporal feeling I see clear tonight 
And have you heard tomorrow never comes 
In the gray garden meet me here and we’ll see

We've known each other long 
But never got time alone 
All I know is your name 
Let’s go and have our day 
Imperceptibly light 
So tender, feelin’ alright 
On me your eyes they fall 
I hear the future call 

There's no start 
There's no end 
Try to let myself feel again 
Never starts 
Never ends 
Bittersweet cause love is here again 

The fear keeps me from you 
It’s called some new kinda blue 
At first I feel nothing 
And then comes everything 
Crack my head open wide 
So there's no-where to hide 
Can’t decide how to feel 
How can I know what’s real 

There's no start 
There's no end 
Try to let myself feel again 
Never starts 
Can’t see the end 
Bittersweet cause love is here again

Bittersweet

Alone in a crowd 
Can’t think it’s too loud 
So I 
Go home 
To eat 
Tv 
Dinner 
Four walls they close down 
Take the bus downtown 
But it’s 
Too much 
For me 
Over 
Whelming 

Can’t write a love song 
Cause it’s been so long 
I just 
Look at 
Buildings 
And books 
And then 
They say that's all wrong 
Go earn and be strong 
But that's 
Not quite 
For me 
Struggle 
Be free

TV Dinner

I’ll take some time for thinking 
As if more time’s what I’m needing 
You haunt me in the daylight 
City’s cold tonight 

Have you ever wondered about taking chances 
Strike a match burn circumstances 

I keep my eyes fixed on time 
Watch me watch myself and go blind 
Dim night no light around me 
And I cannot see 

Have you ever wondered about taking chances 
Strike a match burn circumstances 
Take a leap address my questions 
I swear this is not pretension

Have you ever wondered about taking chances 
Strike a match burn circumstances 
All the changes ever faster 
Never stopping always stranger

Have You

A haunted scene 
Ghosts surround me 
They’re all I see 
This waking dream 
Is sure to last 
Repeats the past 
Entrapped in glass 
But I move fast 
By moving slow 
Taking it slow 
Hear my echo 
It’s way down low 
That’s where I go 

Cause I'm healing 
Leave those feelings 
While I'm floating 
Down a river of water carrying ice 

I did the math 
There is no path 
Don't even ask 
Let out a laugh 
When the same sun 
Burns for no one 
Grew up undone 
Nobody won 
My fragile state 
The paper weight 
And to this date 
Blinded by fate 
We are still late 

Cause I'm healing 
Leave those feelings 
While I'm floating 
Down a river of water carrying ice 

This resonance 
Is never gone 
A revenant 
Until dawn 
A zero point 
Always something 
Time’s out of joint 
Ghost hunting 
Inside my head 
The bells they ring loud 
Pale face in the clouds 
But not dead 
This resonance 
Is never gone 
A revenant 
Until dawn 
Ghost hunting
