The Music

Today is all about the songwriting & audio

When I wrote “Ghost in the Machine,” my goal was to create an unsettling atmosphere right from the start, but I didn’t want listeners to dwell in that feeling for too long. I wanted the energy to shift, leading to a more hopeful tone. with this in mind, I began with a low, almost whispered first verse, layered with eerie harmonies. Midway through, the melody jumps up an octave, signaling a shift in energy that crescendos into an explosive chorus with rich, lush harmonies. My approach was heavily influenced by the vocal production styles of Paramore, Billie Eilish, and Halsey who masterfully blend tension and release in their music. You can explore a playlist of the artists and sounds that inspired this track here.

Something is pulling like 100 strings 

and if you ask me I would say something 

is often off and disrupted I've seen

in modern making of a human being 

So sew me up until I feel complete

to make me safer from an evil breed

I’ll take a step into the open deep 

Unwanted action of a youthful me 

The ghost in the machine, It’s always here with me, But I choose to believe, One day I’ll be a Queen 

So rip the glue until I start to bleed

Just bust it open rip me at my seams

I wanna hurt so lay it on me deep

So I can feel you digging your disease

Cross hatch an “x” into me underneath 

The satin laying on my sallow knees 

I’ll close my eyes until your here and need 

A reason for me to exist complete

One day I, One day I, One day I, One day I 

One day I, One day I, One day I, One day I 

The ghost in the machine, It’s always here with me, But I choose to believe, One day I’ll be a Queen 

The ghost in the machine, It’s always here with me, But I choose to believe, One day I’ll be a Queen
