TITLE: Shadow of a Ghost
ARTIST NAME: James Wyatt Crosby
FORMAT: Single
RELEASE DATE: Oct 15, 2021
LABEL: Wavy Sun

“Shadow of a Ghost” by Canadian producer and multi-instrumentalist James Wyatt Crosby is a summery indie-pop tune that is based around a series of sweetly nostalgic synth chords, a distinctive animated bass line and a simple lo-fi drum beat. The solemn and introspective verses bloom into longing, euphoric choruses which feature luscious layers of indie-inspired guitar textures, live drums and lush vocal harmonies. This song is perfect for night time driving, long beach walks or quiet headphone introspection.

"This song was written during a time when it seemed like the fabric of reality was coming apart at the seams right in front of me. Life can be so beautiful but also so painful and disturbing and this song speaks about the way that loss and grief can change the way that you perceive yourself and the world around you. This song allowed me to move through some challenging times." –James Wyatt Crosby

As I walk down this old street
I’m nothing like I used to be
‘Cause when you lose what matters most
You become the shadow of a ghost

Are you listening to me?
Are you listening at all?
It’s impossible to breathe
When the sky’s about to fall
Fall

When I see the moon at night
I’m jealous of its perfect light
Now I’ve got to get away 
For reasons that I cannot say

You look different to me
No you’re not the same at all
It’s impossible to leave
When I hear the siren’s call

I was always waiting
Waiting on a sign
Now I feel so vacant
Hopeless and so blind
Can you feel me shaking?
Can you hear me cry?
Guess I’ll never find my reason why

As I walk down this old street
I think about what might have been
