A low-slung blues lament about memory, regret, and the kind of locked drawer that creaks louder the longer you ignore it. This stripped-down reimagining of “Old Files, Old Ghosts” trades the original’s folk pulse for smoky electric guitar, shuffle rhythm, and a weathered vocal that sounds like it’s been holding its breath for years. Quiet, bitter, and too real to be dramatic, this version lets the grief settle in the corners like dust you never quite clean.

Old Files, Old Ghosts

Old Files, Old Ghosts (Blues)

A vintage crooner ballad about seeing beyond surface beauty and yearning to know someone’s soul.

Moonlight Glow

A swing-inflected remix of the original office daydream, Not Enough Time Remix (Bonus Track) trades fluorescent lighting for moonlit confession. With richer instrumentation and deeper lyrical wit, this version leans into the after-hours ache of loving someone from behind a desk.
