Listening Post Batch 96

David Bowie - 'Starman' - SINGLE VOCAL ONLY - AMAZING

An original song inspired by the story behind 'The Great Gatsby'.

Written and produced by Eloise Keating.

Lyrics:

Watch me, haunt me, be my ghost
never get too close, never get too close
Fix your eyes upon me from a far
you've got the world but lonely's what you are

When you're watching, forever watching
watching, forever watching

And the green light won't go out
cause you're watching, forever watching
being within and without 

And the green light won't go out
cause you're watching, forever watching
being within and without

Hold me, stay here, make it last
can you relive the past, can you relive the past
take me, make me feel alive 
but you're dream ended with a late night drive

He said he likes the big parties for the intimacy 
because the small ones they don't have no privacy
and she's always been his american dream
but everything is not always what it seems
and he's reaching out, but she's in-between 
is it love or is it curiosity
too many cocktails sipped between the sheets
him and his cold green eyes they walk the streets

And the green light won't go out
cause you're watching, forever watching
being within and without

And the green light won't go out
cause you're watching, forever watching
being within and without

Watch me, haunt me, be my ghost
never get too close, never get too close

Ghost Twins – Never Fear Total Failure (Album)
April 14th 2014
 
'A mix of ethereal and experimental pop'

Derby two-piece Ghost Twins are set to release their debut album Never Fear Total Failure this April. Fresh and forward-thinking with an independent sound, the record represents a new attitude for Ghost Twins, infusing experimental and leftfield ideas with huge melodic pop moments of sheer brilliance.
Never Fear Total Failure represents personal struggle and the eventual hope we can eventually achieve through our darkest hours. Lead track “2006” sees Ghost Twins’ experimentations with synthesisers and vocal manipulation continue, expressing the endeavours of humanity through times of torment and framing the album perfectly. One-half of Ghost Twins, Chris Jones, explains that the aim of “2006” was to create a song that ‘has a relentless, disorientating sound that mirrors the confusion of a troubled soul’. Previous single “Unknown Animal” is also featured on the album, a flawless bridge for listeners to experience Ghost Twins’ ever-increasing leftfield sound.
Never Fear Total Failure is a mystifyingly beautiful record, combing the unstoppable emotions of ecstasy and anguish into a piece that is both deeply human and soul-affirming. Whilst the experimental side of Ghost Twins has increased on their debut album, their talent in creating monumental moments in a sound that everyone can relate to has equally excelled.  
Ghost Twins’ debut album Never Fear Total Failure will be self released through featherweight recordings on April 14th on both physical and digital formats.
