about
I wanted to end this year with something unexpected; something Aesthetic Perfection had never done before. Written by myself, Chris Harms (Lord of the Lost) and Corvin Bahn, this very well could be the first industrial holiday ballad. Replete with sleigh bells, church bells and a full orchestra, “Lonesome Ghosts” is certainly unlike anything I’ve ever created. Lyrically, it tells the story of our longing for connection, our desire not to be alone, and offers hope that there is truly a chance at redemption - we’re not all doomed to spend our lives haunted by ghosts of the past.
lyrics
The snow don't fall like it used to,
This fading fire won't warm my bones,
When all is lost I am with you,
No I don't wanna be alone,
No I don't wanna be alone.
This empty house echoes whispers,
I reminisce with all my ghosts,
When all that's left are fading pictures,
No I don't wanna be alone,
No I don't wanna be alone.
And as the season start to change,
So scared I'll wake up on my own,
Can't face another holiday,
If I'm just gonna be alone.
I see a sign in the distance,
My heavy heart's returning home,
I sing a song for forgiveness,
No I don't wanna be alone,
No I don't wanna be alone.
And now the seasons start to change,
Oh I won't wake up on my own,
Will never face a holiday,
Oh I won't ever be alone.

The love of my life wore a solid gray dress the first time we met, and the image came stark and clear listening to this song. We fought about shades of gray between black and white, and without a doubt she changed me in a way portrayed perfectly by these lyrics. Simple yet profound, this is the best kind of song, and the danceable production sets just the right mood. astropulse
