lyrics

I lie awake, embraced by sea, it comforts me.
Deep in the night, it’s so bizarre, there are no stars.
And I know, I know why, yes, I know, I know why.
Blue sky ignites, a cloud of flame weeps burning rain.
Air without waves, no picture show, no radio.
And I know, I know why, yes, I know, I know why.

And I’m walking with ghosts, I don’t feel so vulnerable,
Walking with ghosts, I don’t feel so invisible,
Walking with ghosts, through this quiet earth.

This blinding sun, floating free, entrances me.
Dark ocean burns, cracks and quakes, evaporates.
And I know, I know why, yes, I know, I know why.

And I’m walking with ghosts, I don’t feel so vulnerable,
Walking with ghosts, I don’t feel so invisible,
Walking with ghosts, through this quiet earth.

Disillusioned

A beautiful and haunting EP. I hope Marjana continues to produce material like this, in addition to her work in iamthemorning and the newly-formed Maer collaboration with Anna Murphy. Eleventh Earl of Blah

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawn

supported by 6 fans who also own “Walking With Ghosts”

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black

The Science Of Goodbye
by THREE COLOURS DARK

supported by 5 fans who also own “Walking With Ghosts”

Dark, angry, heartfelt...some of these lyrics are hard to read, but there is something valedictory about the journey they take you on, if you are prepared to go. Rachel's songs are not for the faint-hearted but that voice...how can you NOT listen? Dark beauty, like being strangled by a velvet glove. And all the while Jon's playing and arrangements are the perfect accompaniment. His melodies carry Rachel's lyrics with subtlety and suppleness. Mike Ashton

Entranced Earth
by The Myrrors

Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016

The experimental UK artist's latest album is decidedly genre-agnostic. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 14, 2022

Cyan - For King And Country 2021
by Cyan

supported by 4 fans who also own “Walking With Ghosts”

I received the vinyl version of "For king and country" today through justforkicks Germany. Such a wonderful album in this rerecorded version. I did own the Si-music version on CD many year ago, but sold it for reasons back in the days. This new version is a complete different thing. A real gem. It brings back memories and is something completely new and different at the same time. Happy have the digital version as well for my outdoor music time. Thanks a lot. Mr. Richman jr.
