Girl & the Ghost

[madeofstars]

Has anyone heard this yet?

It was featured on KCRW's Morning Becomes Ecclectic on July 27th.

The song is fantastic. In true Carina form, it builds and builds. The drumming is heavy, and the whole song is layered wonderfully with instrumentation and vocals.

I was able to hear a streaming version on the KCRW website and I think I got most of the lyrics down.


What's that coming down?
Shattering skies
Your whole world exploding
In flashes of fire

Shards of broken dreams
Stuck in your hands
Pick the pieces out put them back
together as best you can

Through the imperfections
Through the imperfections
and the cracks
You will see the difference between:

What you think you know - what you know (x4)

What's that in your mirror
The girl or the ghost?
You tried so hard
You tried so hard
To let it all go

What's that in your mouth
The curse or the key?
You keep waving your tongue around
and you'll get heard eventually.

What you think you've given
Is not what the world has received
Can you feel the distance between:

What you think you know - what you know (x4)

What's that in your heart?
The chorus of dust afraid to sing (?)
What's that in your hate?
The mountain of dust in the wind (?)

What's in your hey! What's in your way? hey! hey! hey!...

You gone for so long
what have you been wanting for?
Can you even remember?
So far out there waving your hands and screaming
for somebody to remember

ooh ooh ooh.....

I'm not sure if this is better suited for General Discussion. Please feel free to move it out of Media if necessary. Thanks mods

Carina's a great lyric writer. I haven't heard the song yet, but judging by the words, it's going to be a good one.

Looks like they played it on the Morning becomes Ecclectic radio program again today (July 30th)
She's the third song in the set. Girl & the Ghost starts at 7min 18 seconds in.

Hope you get a chance to listen. It's so great!
