GHOST TO YOU - CitizenMofo2

Thanks, man!

Oh I've done my share of other types of music as well, because, after all, I've lived through and been influenced by it all, from folk to hip hop. Ain't nothing wrong with black metal or jazz or blues, and I shall check out your musical efforts in those veins. But yeah - prog rock of the early '70s... Last night I was at a get-together with my daughters, there was a contemporary song on that reminded me of something, so I asked my youngest to play "30 Days in the Hole", which she did, and then she was like, whoa, that's like but way better than what we were just listening to only it's from nearly 50 years ago. So maybe she'll become a Humble Pie fan now. Anyway, I'm so glad to hear from Russia/Norway, so glad you took the time to listen and comment and make me feel inspired - thank you.

Thank you. I like that bit about "space." It was actually much more crowded with loops and music when we started, but we gradually stripped most of it away. It was tricky because a ghost of the deleted music was still in the recorded vocals, so that was something we had to finesse. But I realized it had to be stripped down and spare, and I'm really glad you, as a connoisseur of the mournful, responded positively.

Thank you. Yes, I realize as I listen to a lot of my songs, that I often violate all the rules of songwriting. Of course there are no rules, really, but there are standard structures, and I use those sometimes, but a lot of times I just say the heck with it and go where the song wants to go, as in this case. I felt it was a catchy little melody too and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and respond!

Thank you, I appreciate your listening and commenting! I first heard Sunny busking on Venice Beach and I just had to work with her, and when she agreed, I wrote songs as fast as I could for her to sing because it was so great working with a singer and player of that calibre. That glitch - well, maybe we finessed it out of existence, cuz we sure tried. And thank you for your kind comment about my writing - everyone's usually so blown away by Sunny that they don't notice the song itself! I appreciate it all.
