I lost my father last year to Alzheimer's and my mom is in the advanced stages. If I’m to befall the same fate, at least I left instructions.

WHEN I CAN'T REMEMBER YOU
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

In the gathering dusk
I will fade to a husk
Vital systems will fail
Trains of thought will derail

What you think of as me
[in a healthy body]
Will in time cease to be
[promise]
Can you give me a clue
When I can’t remember you?

Every name, every face
[every precious moment]
Getting harder to place
[over]
Like a verse left unsung
On the tip of my tongue

We all end up as dust
[out of love or duty]
So we do what we must
[help me]
Hold my hand, guide me through
When I can’t remember you

“You’re going to lose it all”
A whisper in the gloom
Feel like I should apologize
For what I’ll put you through
The faithful will testify
That true love never dies
But nobody knows for sure
What’s going on behind those lost eyes

Recollection recedes
[in the final stages]
Strangers tend to my needs
[helpless]
Play this song in my room
When I can’t remember you

When I Can't Remember You

Dagger In The Heart

Ghosts of the Tsunami is the driving and intense new single from Isaac
Howlett, the charismatic singer/songwriter behind the internationally-
renowned UK synth-pop band, Empathy Test, now making waves as a solo
artist.

After three consecutive #1 singles on the German Alternative Chart (DAC) with
House of Cards, Endless Night and most recently Eggshell, which also peaked at
#13 (Germany), #15 (Sweden) and #31 (Spain) on the iTunes Alternative Chart,
Howlett continues to explore dark terrain with Ghosts of the Tsunami. Vocally, it has
the same anthemic, haunting quality as its predecessor, but here the beats and
driving bass provided by co-producer and mixer Daniel Myer (Liebknecht, Architect,
Covenant etc.) give the track a greater energy.

"Lyrically, Ghosts of the Tsunami was inspired by the 2017 non-fiction novel of the
same name, by Richard Lloyd Parry", says Howlett, "it’s about the aftermath of the
Japanese tsunami and some of the dead not knowing they were dead. The song
draws a comparison to the loss of feeling amongst the living."

Like Eggshell, Ghosts of the Tsunami already has some buzz around it, having been
performed live several times by Howlett at his solo shows earlier in 2025, but also
this September to December he is performing it with Empathy Test on their biggest
European tour to date.

A full EP, featuring the two original tracks, Eggshell and Ghosts of the Tsunami, a
“radio edit” of Eggshell, plus remixes by genCAB, Clan of Xymox and Suzi Sabotage,
will be released digitally and on CD in November. There will also be a 7” picture disc
featuring the two original tracks and artwork/photography by Bernd Schwinn.
