‘Ghosts of the Past’ by singer-songwriter Jodi Heights is a touching track layered in strings. Its melodies are haunting and moving, not straying too far from a sense of yearning and loss.
Its lyrics address someone who’s standing still, willing themselves to keep “…living in the attic with the ghosts of the past…”. There’s this sense that this person is afraid, their fear bleeding into and ultimately hurting the narrator. Moments of haunting betrayal seem to be highlighted by strings that twinkle and bend.
