about

The inspiration for Ghosts came as a result of seeing a deer trapped on some private land surrounded by fences. It had managed to get in and couldn't find it's way back out. It got me thinking about the way humans treat the earth and the negative impact this has on nature, the environment and each other.
There is a political message in the song which is quite self explanatory when you listen to the lyrics. It touches on the way todays actions will affect future generations and to help make that point, my nine year old son Lachlan - the next generation - sings the final chorus.

lyrics

Before the engines up and droan
Cutting through the leaves
Natures tranquil music plays
Free from impurities

We suffer do you suffer more
No laws to abide by
No work tax or war
Cold murder destruction and pain
In every species it's a day to day scene
Who gave man the right to claim land
To replace plants with concrete
And kill all that stands
Left homeless human or animal
You'll be forgotten

The wind it blows like ice
You know you're a prisoner on this land
Through the trees and fenced off acres
You do stand alone
(The cold wind blows and ghosts now roam)
(This fenced off land, these broken bones)

We suffer do you suffer more
No laws to abide by
No work tax or war
Cold murder destruction and pain
In every species it's a day to day scene
Who gave man the right to claim land
To replace plants with concrete
And kill all that stands
Left homeless human or animal
We''ll be forgotten

We suffer do you suffer more
The next generations will pay for these wars
Cold murder corruption and pain
Hatred and hunger are all day to day scenes
