The Name

So unless you are Ande Thomas you a probably wondering where I got the name, "The Ghost Psalmist." It is a reference to one of my favourite bands Zao and a song they wrote, The Ghost Psalm. Dan Wyandent's lyrics have been described as "hopelessly depressed, yet ever optimistic" and that is what I try to capture in my writing.

Here is the lyrics to the song...

Realization comes through reaping
Reality contained in quite
My companions are walking corpses
I am buried with their words (5x)
Buried with your words
Turned their backs on me
Scared to see the ghost
Turned and walked away
Scared to see the ghost(Time to go one last look, one last touch. A ghost to those I love)
Time to go one last look, one last touch.
Goodbye to those I love
Time to go one last look, one last touch.
Realization comes through reaping
Reality contained in quite
My companions are walking corpses
I am buried with their words (5x)
So close
So close to separation
A ghost without a grave
A ghost without a name
So close
