    I wrote and recorded the majority of the song in a few hours in November of 2021. Recently I had got a piano off craigslist and a friend and I nearly killed ourselves moving it from Edison, NJ to my apartment in Brooklyn. I've lived in New York for 10 years and this is the first place I've ever had a real piano, so I immediately started writing. I'd been spending a ton of time working on music by myself in my place and was also reading a collection of short Irish horror stories (very specific and strange) - and started to think about how banal and interesting a current age ghost would be. One that grew up in a similar time as us, trapped in those times, in this apartment with me. I quickly finished it and worked with Abe Seiferth (Former DFA Engineer, Nation of Language, etc) to put a mix and some final touches on it. It's a hint at where the new direction of music will be going for my stuff. ... more

lyrics

Awake and fighting the morning ghost
Shook me out of sleep and I’m pacing
They're caught back in the 90’s
Looking for something nice on the TV

What they're looking for I’ll never know

Spirit Please
Why don’t you tell me what you really need?
In my house looking for inner peace
Friend if you find it could I have some please

We normalized it like everything else
and find ourselves in a routine
it moves along and it bears us no mind
he's biding his time so it seems
but when I leave and I grab the handle
some pale hand's got me in a stand-still
begging for a chance to get out the castle
but when we will he figure it out?
the past is all that he's got now

Spirit Please
Why don’t you tell me what you really need?
In my house looking for inner peace
Friend if you find it could I have some please

Hold his gaze on the garden scene
I keep the windows clean, I give him that
all he wants is to move along, turn the tv off
but something's holding onto him
living in the past is easy, but letting go is so damn hard

Spirit Please
Why don’t you tell me what you really need?
In my house looking for inner peace
Friend if you find it could I have some please
