The shockingly shocking story of "Ghosts on Vinyl"!

When Glenn moved into his attic apartment in historic downtown Princeton, New Jersey, he had no idea that he would soon be having an encounter with the supernatural. One night, after finding hundreds of records in four huge boxes behind a wall in the bedroom, Glenn began having sensorially vivid dreams of four girls either playing or singing insanely catchy tunes which were completely unknown to him. The girls, whom he suspected were the "ghosts" of females who had lived in his apartment at some point, would sometimes completely rock out, while at other times they would play gentle ballads or bubbly pop tunes. In fact, every dream would bring a different type of song.

Furthermore, after waking, Glenn would try to hum these dream-songs for his friends (which proved difficult at times since the music was other-worldly in origin and often defied all known musical conventions and genre rules), and they too were unable to identify the melodies! Soon afterwards, Glenn began feverishly trying to recreate the songs he had heard by writing down lyrics and chords, cobbling together crude electronic voice recordings, and recruiting
paranormally-attuned friends and colleagues to channel the (benign) spirits through their voices and instruments. He recently decided (in the interest of the emerging field of paranormal-musicology) to release a series of these "ghost pop" song-experiments.

In addition, Glenn believes he has come to develop a spiritual-neural bond with the deceased ladies, and considers himself their "manager" or "agent" on the side of the living. Dubbing them GHOSTS ON VINYL, he has recently learned their individual names (Melanie, Misty, Mona and Polly) and continues to discover more about their personalities and histories everyday. It is Glenn's fondest hope that he will one day be able to harness enough collective psychic energy and mass neuro-intentionality to actually make GHOSTS ON VINYL, for the first time ever, materialize for their fans (AKA "FAN-toms") in public and play together "LIVE!!!"

Will it happen? Could it happen? Only time will tell...

lyrics

"Whisper at the Moon"

Verse 1:

You saw the moonlight through your window
You're basking in the magic of its glow
Surrounded by the sound of innuendo
And haunted by those shadows in your soul

Chorus 1:

Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
You're going nowhere
The lonely child that grew up way too soon
Say good night (Say good night)
There's no one out there
It's like a whisper
At the moon

Verse 2:
The shining light you held last night means nothing
And tattered veils will never shield your eyes
You're always reaching out for something
Doomed to fail, still you've got to try

Chorus 2:

And say goodbye (Say goodbye)
The truth has fallen
So eulogize and seal it in the tomb
Say good night (Say good night)
While the fates are calling
It's like a whisper at the moon

Bridge:

And every time you raised your head
The moon was gazing down
A smiling face indifferent to your wounds
Every night you're crying out
But down here on the ground
Nothing really changed that much for you
They never do

Chorus 3:

And say goodbye (Say goodbye)
You're going nowhere...
Say good night (Say good night)
There's no one out there
It's like a whisper
A silent whisper
At the moon!
At the moon!
At the moon!

No one hears you whisper
Whisper at the moon

about

Ghosts on Vinyl Princeton, New Jersey

Ghosts on Vinyl are four feisty female spirits who haunt Glenn Page at his apartment, playing cool rock/punk/pop/goth tunes. These songs are the results of Glenn's efforts, with the help of supernaturally sympathetic friends and a series of EVP recordings, to recreate the sounds that the girls play in his head every night. With them, he hopes to one day summon the girls/ghosts back to our side. ... more
