about

The second instalment of a project of original material written by Freda Leask and produced by Kris Drever and Tim Matthew.

This song is loosely inspired by the Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights or 'Mirrie Dancers' as they are known in the Shetland Islands.

To view the official video and see some spectacular footage of the Mirrie Dancers, filmed by my son around our home, take a look at my YouTube channel via the link on this page. If you like my work please subscribe, it would be lovely to see you there!

lyrics

Ghost Notes © Freda Leask

Colours move in a midnight sky
The dawn of a northern night
I used to fly
Now it's not for me
Fly with the fickle wind
To restless heights where dreams begin
Only to realise, only to see

Colours dance in that midnight sky
Stage lights and dreams gone wild
I used to try
Now it's not that way
Take my dreams beyond the night
Where silent echoes harmonise
And voices on the wind can rise
And hear Your ghost notes play

Colours fade in that midnight sky
The stage lights have dimmed your eye
I hope you realise, go play your ghost notes well
I'm not a fickle friend, I'm here until the end
I hope you realise, go play your ghost notes well
