Liner Notes

Started with some musical tension/crunchiness and wasn't sure what I was going to write about...turns out I ended up writing a song about ghosts. But friendly ones, I think?

Lyrics

Ghost Parade (Haunting Time)
By Rachel Eve Feb 20 2025

Pacing around the floor at night
Something doesn't feel quite right
Oooh, what could it be?

Quarter to three the clock shines bright
Try to banish it out of sight
Ooooh, strange hours you keep

Quickening pace
Ashen white face
Is it a dream
Not what it seems

Run back to bed
Cover your head
Oooooh

It’s haunting time
You’ll be just fine
Come the morning light
Will wash it all away
The ghost parade
Don’t be afraid
They only want to have
Their time to shine in the dark

Dancing through walls
Having a ball
Laugh as they spin
Where have you been

Join our soiree
Just want to play
Ooooooh

It’s haunting time
You’ll be just fine
Come the morning light
Will wash it all away
The ghost parade
Don’t be afraid
They only want to have
Their time to shine in the dark

Wonderful song! I was immediately captivated by the walking bass at the beginning, was starting to feel the tension and expected something frightening, and then you lightened it up and I bobbing along smiling. Thank you!

I love the feel of this song. The lyrics are a lot of fun! And your voice is a pleasure to listen to! Great take on this skirmish!

Oh this is gorgeous! I love these jazzy ghosts! The musical tension combined with your lovely voice creates a very unique ghost story. Your lyrics are so fun, I especially loved the strange hours line, it makes for a great buildup to the ghost dance. This is such a creative take on the prompt!

I like the jazzy chords - almost sounding like an old 20's blues song. Really nice sound and I like imagining the ghost parade. My ghosts are dancing around in sheets with holes cut in them. This leads to a fun soiree. I like these ghosts. I'm thinking Casper and Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice. All friendly. Nice job!
