Phillips Recorded at Wally's HydeOut, Hyde Street Studio C in San Francisco Produced by Chris McGrew Featuring: Mar Vilaseca — vocals Christopher Fortier — guitars, electric bass Kevin Seal — keys Chris McGrew — percussion Lyrics: Wish I’d made my escape With the coming of the plague It was the perfect opportunity For me to exit this stage And quietly slip away — for I am the one who ghosts A magician in a puff of smoke The soldier who abandons his post I am the one who ghosts They’d been dating when he was still trying To break into the local scene Then he disappears 'til she spots him On the cover of a magazine Oh, I know his routine — for I am the one who ghosts That fog that burns off on the coast The substance of our sworn oaths I am the one who ghosts As a child I was told I had a high threshold for pain Emotions — they’ve always been a different thing I get drawn into negative space Can’t have a voice or a face Stuck on rope bridge Spanning a pitiless gorge On one side the earth lies Bitter and scorched For the rest I’ve brought my torch — for I am the one who ghosts That word the gets lost in your throat That last little bit of hope I am the one who ghosts I am the one who ghosts A magician in a puff of smoke The soldier who abandons his post I am the one who ghosts Genre Rock Comment by Boulimique de Musique Une chanson pop exploratoire aux influences de rock progressif et de jazz à l'ambiance feutrée.
