about

New York City based synthesist-songwriter Jay Wires dials up catchy electropop infused with human emotion - synthpop art with a human heart.  

"Victims of ghosting are often left confused and wondering what went wrong. “Ghost,” by Jay Wires, conveys succinctly that hollow ache in an uncomplicated and beautifully poignant way, with a lush immersive sound that embodies that emptiness which consumes you to your very core.  

With cleanly layered analog synths evoking desolate war-torn landscapes with background shades of Vangelis-meets-Depeche Mode, this despondent lament intensifies with its elements building into an eerie, enveloping wall of sound, expressing an overwhelming distress as the song’s subject flits away, on to their next victim.  

From the initial gasp of breath to the grand finale, this compelling track draws us into a delicious melancholia, perfect for the Halloween season."

-Mae De Agua

lyrics

I need answers
To these questions
In my mind
Just to pick up
All the pieces
Left behind

But a cowards sense of shame
Is so very hard to find
So don't you worry
Bout these questions
In my mind

Oh how could you do this to
The one who loved you most?
Ghost
Ghost

Have you not an ounce
Of common decency?
Stole my heart
And never gave it
Back to me

Locked forever and a week
Since you'd thrown
Away the key
And ran away
From all
Responsibility

Oh how could you do this to
The one who loved you most?
Ghost
Ghost
Oh how could you do this to
The one who loved you most?
Ghost
Ghost
Ghost
Ghost
