JOHN GRANT is one of my favourites singer-songwriter. After move me with his Queen of Denmark, now makes me dance with this song called PALE GREEN GHOST belonging to his second album with the same name. This new work is another masterpiece. Hope you like.

LYRICS

Back then I often found myself
Driving on the road at night,
And the radio was broadcasting the ocean.
Warm late Spring wind whips through my hair.
I am right here, but I wanna be there,
And no one in this world is gonna stop me.

Pale green ghosts at the end of May--
Soldiers of this black highway--
Helping me to know my place.
Pale green ghosts must take great care,
Release themselves into the air--
Reminding me that I must be aware.

At 25 and 36 to Boulder
I was getting warm, but now I'm getting colder,
And I stomp my feet--demanding like a child.
I hope you get everything you wanted boy.
I hope you conquer the world and turn it into your toy,
But don't come crying when you're forced to learn the truth.

Pale green ghosts at the end of May--
Soldiers of this black highway--
Helping me to know my place.
Pale green ghosts must take great care,
Release themselves into the air--
Reminding me that I must be aware.

Pale green ghosts at the end of May--
Soldiers of this black highway--
Helping me to know my place.
Pale green ghosts must take great care,
Release themselves into the air--
Reminding me that I must be aware.

JOHN GRANT: SIGOURNEY WEAVER.

 

One of the great surprises of last year was "Queen Of Denmark" (2010). Claimed by the critics, debut solo album of JOHN GRANT. He was the vocalist of The Czars in the past, without great success. But he finally had critical acclaim, and  "Queen of Denmark" was proclaimed as one of the best albums of 2010. And we completely agree with that decision because it is an album that hooks you. And you need to hear again and again, despite having a rather archaic production brings us back to the seventies and is reminiscent of Al Stewart and Cat Stevens. His tortured personal life has been the greatest source of inspiration for this great album from which we offer SIGOURNEY WEAVER one of his songs more ironic. You can listen it in a acoustic session and  the album version. Hope you like it.

LYRICS

When I woke up today, the air was very strange

I couldn't feel my skin and there was evil in my bones

I tried to speak but found that I didn't have a voice

It was a prison like the one you would find in the twilight zone

And I feel just like Sigourney Weaver

When she had to kill those aliens

And one guy tried to get them back to the earth

And she couldn't believe her ears

So I was taken or I went towards what was west

Where the ground was dead and struvk out at the giant sky

The sky was black and filled with tiny silver holes

And it was there with the frightened voice that I began to cry out loud

I feel just like Winona Ryder

In that movie about vampires

And she couldn't get that accent right

Neither could that other guy

And I feel just like I am on Jupiter

One man looks like rainbows, sure

But it doesn't lend itself to life

And I haven't finished yet
