theSOURCE Posted April 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I Know a Ghost I know a ghost And she sings to me though my machines. She's so young and beautiful And her gorgeous voice sometimes brings a tear to my eye. I don't know where she came from Or who she was in life. But when she sings to me when I'm all alone I have no fear of death. She takes me to another world Where I can be happy and young again. And in that world not only can I see But I feel no more pain. I know that one day, maybe soon When she comes to sing for me again And takes me to that beautiful world of hers I'll remain there with her forever. © Vic 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theSOURCE Posted April 1, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Thank you Armchair Educated, Hilander, notforgotten and little_dreamer. I'm glad enjoying this poem. What I wonder, however, is should I ruin it for everybody by explaining what inspired this poem, or should I just leave it for everyone to draw their own meaning from it?

Whatever inspired you to write this poem Vic, it's beautiful, and I'm glad your ghost brings you comfort, whether she's real or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSOURCE Posted April 3, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Whatever inspired you to write this poem Vic, it's beautiful, and I'm glad your ghost brings you comfort, whether she's real or not. You should know me by now SW. The ghost I refer to is actually a synthesized voice from Holst, the Planets (as much as I like my metal and insane fusion jazz I can't be without my classical music). The girl's voice, which sounds amazingly organic and alive, come's not from any digital sample like those of today's keyboards (ROMplers), but was created with raw oscillator waveforms run though filters and VCAs, and controlled by envelope generators on a huge Moog system 55. This voice, coupled with Venus, the Bringer of Peace by Gustav Holst (and performed by Isao Tomita), is almost like some mild psychedelic experience (especially when listened to through a set of high quality studio headphones). For whatever reason, whenever I listen to that piece I zone out and begin thinking about people I used to know who have passed away. But it's never a sad experience. It's as though they're still around somehow, existing happily in some beautiful dimension (I know that dimension is only my memory, but at least I've given them a warm place to be). And if the girl I imagine from the song does someday come and take me away to that other dimension with her, then that's cool too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
