Sailor 05:56
lyrics

I’m a sailor Upon the sea I ride I’ve seen many things With these eyes I’ve seen heartache I’ve seen love I’ve seen crows fly high above... And I miss you Yeah I do Are you alright? Do you miss me too? Hold me now Pins and needles Foreign sound Lips like clover Whitest moon Legless showgirls Sing the blues ... And on a cool night I wonder where you are Are you gazing at the same old star? And in the movement Of other galaxies Will you come back to me? And in the morning Sunlight on your face It’s blanketing your body Resting in it’s place... Hold me now Pins and needles Foreign sound Lips like clover Siren song Gothic engines Going wrong Paranoia Coming down Tiny collisions Turn me around Are there answers When we die? Some say maybe And others deny....

The Wilderness 04:59
lyrics

Oh mother I’m so lost I followed an orange sun through the morning This ground is soft and calming And how long will I wander? And in my arms we are one Beyond the walls Beyond it all... Maybe I need to run Coming out of this swinging a sword Under the pyramid sun And everything falls away...oh now And in my house there were long waves And in my head there were runes Fire-wolves and burning breath And in my lungs there were long rumors fought in there The answer is hiding out there...

Passenger 05:28
lyrics

Am I too old for you? A bit too cold, black and blue And is there hope? Like Waterloo ... And is there love Inside us? A distant drug To guide us Through the great big flood of palm trees ... “Nothing’s lost” Said Lao-Tzu Big concrete blocks Between avenues And I’m only half-lost And got a decent view Lift my head up a thousand times A big black giant weight strapped around my mind Easy .. come walk with me Ripped up my diary so no-one finds Writing this future letter with the blood we signed Freely ... oh walk with me History books the poets and the worms inscribed...

Kingdom Come 04:16
lyrics

Once One day my love We will meet our only end... Wake Wake up and ride Through the glassy faded fields... Castles and kings All fall down As the thin ice surrounds... Kiss me Under the stars In the shadowed empty glare... Speak now Languages lost As we climb the cracking stairs... Poisoned we fell Lights go out Laid us under the frozen ground ... Every little heartache Our kingdom’s come Every little secret’s gated door Shimmer on a still lake Our lights down low Even if we could find A vacant shore Every little heartache The scars won’t hold Even when the road sign Is painted gold Tremors and an earthquake Might bury us whole Underneath the moonshine’s faded glow...

Marionettes 05:30
lyrics

We can dance Like marionettes on strings Awkward but in time And entertain the crowd... And we blush Explosions in the night Like fireworks in bloom Proof that we exist And I’ll raise A glass for all that’s right And all the ones I’ve wronged A song for us to sing... Summoned by the raven’s call With melodies that soar and fall Spinning in a skeleton waltz Dizzy and the world dissolves... Where’d you go? My senses are slow I thought tonight we could talk Where’d you go? You’ll be back I know The days and nights are so long ... Can’t you see? Pharaohs out in space Drew themselves on rocks As tourists they must laugh So it is Like it’s always been Like a falling star Beautiful in death... Summoned by the raven’s call With melodies that soar and fall Spinning in a skeleton waltz Dizzy as the world dissolves... Where’d you go? My senses are slow I thought tonight we could talk Where’d you go? You’ll be back I know I feel alive and so strong.... I’m not mystified any longer A crowded desire And our wasted time And I’ve grown immune The fever is gone And here we walk I don’t know I’m coming home... And I’m lifted up higher Attached from above And I rip through the lines A nd the velveteen gloves And in those patient eyes A thousand years young Maybe in the still light ...

And my love don’t lead us away And my heart don’t follow, it stays And I'll walk through this fire And I'll swear there’s nothing higher And I'll hold you in my arms all night And I'll hold you in my arms all night There's no-one left There's no-one No-one .. no-one No-one

Shadowlands 05:23
lyrics

Remember on our first night Out in the London rain? We were freezing But somehow it didn’t matter We sat and we waited For that night bus to come We kissed and filled the air with ancient magic... Oh and then we wandered Like two kids at play Through the empty streets And the monuments watched all our movements... Oh god What have I done? Everywhere I look I see your shadow Every time I close my eyes you’re there And I can’t pull back the poison arrow It twists like a ghost through the air Twists like a ghost through the air ... Spinning in a circle A blinking wheel in the sky We rode up and I held your hand without warning Caught up in the moment Way up high with a view It was easy to imagine our future ... Oh god What have I done? Everywhere I look I see your shadow Every time I close my eyes you’re there And I can’t pull back the poison arrow It twists like a ghost through the air And I know you’ll be sorry when you’re lonely And I know you’ll regret your cold, cold heart Maybe I communicate through melodies Maybe you don’t understand my songs? Baby you don’t understand my songs Were you just an actor playing a part? Or was I just a fool to play along?

Awaken! 03:13
lyrics

Now I’ve been waiting For us to awaken Now we’ve been changing Love I’ve been saving Now lie here naked My body is aching Now we’ve been patient Not turning complacent Love ... the children are playing Once lost in the spaces Oh I’ve been waiting Now can you explain this all ?

about

After a long winter in New York City, Jesse Glick locked himself in his cold apartment and began writing a collection of new songs. Anonymous solitude and personal heartache amidst the bustling city provided the backdrop .. for inspiration to dwell.

The snow fell. The radiators hissed. The hardwood floors creaked. And melodies took flight. Playing all the instruments and producing/recording/mixing himself, his singular vision evolved organically without outside influence or boundary.

Slowly, in-between long walks downtown, endless subway chatter, and an epic cross-country drive, an album emerged...telling stories of love, loss, rage and redemption.

A myriad of influences fused into a unique voice & vision, and GUARDIAN GHOST was born.
