ghost of a girl
An Album by Melissa Israel
The songs on the album explore various themes and were chosen very selectively from the many I’ve written over the years.
(Ghost of a Girl - the title song) Celebrating the song, the secret songstress, the ageless child within the song, who feels the need to sing in private, fearful of those who wish it silenced.
(Telescope) Curious about concepts, facts, ideas and beliefs
(Linear Life) Fastidiously stuck on a path in life
(Fragile Heart) Remorse from recklessly being the cause of someone’s pain
(Against My Body) A new mother in all it’s wonderment and transformation and love
(Me in a Moment) Realizing, as a new mother, to advocate for my family above all else
(Denim Day) Wanting and willing to sit and take in the day in a lazy way
(You Chose Me) In awe of someone loving me
(Falling Away) Torn away from those I love and trust, time and again
(Schizophrenic) Being too committed to quit
(Gradual Overdose) Living in the loss and guilt after the death of my oldest brother Gregg
