THE GHOST OF YOU (Paul Dempsey)

The walls witness
All my struggles
Can you hear me cry?
I hurt so much inside

The night's are long
And you're not here
And the past refuses to die
Refuses to hide

I'm a lost soul
Trying not to remember
While recalling
What I miss most of you
I don't want to forget you
But I'm seeing only the ghost of you

Helplessly clutching
Your pillow
It still carries your scent
Like a sweet memory

And I feel your spirit
As strong as any love can be
Pulling me, haunting me
But in time will fade

I search for simple sanity
While sleeping and weeping
With the ghost of you

I'm a lost soul
Trying not to remember
While recalling
What I miss most of you
Trying not to remember
While seeing only the ghost of you

[PVD]

Aidan/Jessica:

By far all I thought it could be and beyond.  Aidan thanks for taking this in the direction of your "Ghosts of Auschwitz" piece, still one of my favorites. Since these lyrics grew from that piece, it is now a worthy companion.

Jess, thanks for rethinking your participation, I think you own this one.

So Preety  ...

... Aidan, what are those orchestra sounds?

[Billy]

OK I've replaced the original song above with a new remixed version which should be better.

Thanks for the tip Nick!

[Jessica Rasche]

How beautifully done.  It is so sensitive and beautiful, it makes me tear up! 

Thank You so much for allowing me to sing on this song.  I hope that you we can work again together, so please keep me in mind for any of your future projects.

Hugs to all!
 

EDIT:  Would you all mind if I posted this onto my MySpace Page>credit of course will be given. Thank You.

Aidan you always amaze me with your work, you seem to be able to jump between different styles of music and keep knocking out quality stuff.....oh and a nice mix 

Jess - The vocals are awesome...really do justice to Pauls lyrics

I loved it!

Well sung and the mix is super. 

Yes fantastic well balanced and tones mix.

Man! I love those strings and this female singer did such a wonderful job on the vocals.
The pitch singing wise and mellow touches are there. Spot on!

This is now the second project I heard here. I am new. And this one is a work of a master
crafter. 

I noticed the views are not as many as some of projects that have been finished but none the less
"greatness" sometimes is not as noticed as it should be.

I'm a fan

This is doubtlessly the best song I've heard at this site so far! Perfect instrumental work, and wonderful vocals.

Wow. I'm sure I'll listen to this song many times more from now on.

Amazed,

This was a very beautifully written song, and the lyrics were so beautiful I had no problem finding an emotion to sing with.  I appreciate the kind comments on my vocals.

However, I have received comments on the soft vocals, where it seems I am just a little pitchy.  I do hear this, but it seems as though the masses enjoy it as is.  To me, I left those areas and figured they fit to the emotion of the song, but Adian, if you would like I can re-take on these trouble spots.
