about

Do you know that? During your life, you lose loved ones on the way. By death, abandonment, conscious decision of one's own, or simply because you are too busy with your work or circumstances in life, you could not stay in touch.

You can't get certain people out of your head, even if they have not been part of your life for many years. Moments, memories and faces are part of the everyday thoughts and they can not be switched off or repressed.

These are the thoughts that the song "Ghost" describes. Moments that can only take place in your head, because it is no longer possible to spend time with that person.

Often there is only a photo left that shows the loved one, sometimes not even that. Then there are places, smells, objects or even songs that are able to put us back in time in our world of thoughts for a short time.

These are the moments songwriters Rob George, Shane Bates, Kristin K. Smith and Skot Bradley have tried to put into words and music. For Shane Bates, this is the first project to find its way to publication.

Whatever happens, no matter how old we get, we carry the loved ones with us in our hearts and will be remembered again and again.

Who is your Ghost?

lyrics

I carved a headstone
Here lies another sleepless night
I tried to bury the bones
Of all the memories you left behind

Chorus
You're standing in the doorway
Of my bruised and battered mind
And I can't stand to see the doorway closed
So I stay trapped here in the darkness
'Cause I'm blinded by the light
Guess I'll spend the rest of my life
Being haunted by your ghost

You left a novel by your chair
That I can't bear to put away
Your eyes in this photo still follow me
Even though the edge is frayed

Bridge
The clock is counting days and hours and seconds since you left
I guess the only place where time is on my side is in my head


Chorus

(Instrumental)

You're standing in the doorway
Of my bruised and battered mind
And I can't stand to see the doorway closed
So I stay trapped here in the darkness
'Cause I'm blinded by the light
Guess I'll spend the rest of my life
Where your image is so life-like
Yeah I'll spend the rest of my life
Being haunted by your ghost
Haunted by your ghost

Rob Georg Nashville, Tennessee

Like many, Rancher & Cowboy Rob Georg wrote out a bucket list and on top of catching a plane from Germany to Nashville to work on his vocals.

Encouraged by her words and moved by her actions, Rob Georg started to record and publish music.

His songs are a reflection of the life he leads. ... more
