ghosting
————————------------——-
they call it ghosting
'mainly happens online
like an emptiness
there are sometimes signs
with doors a' closing
like a movies end
there is so much broken
and little to mend
soft shades
left behind, in your mind,
in your house, in your garden
and in those old photographs that you will find
have they moved country,
or busy at the gym?
knee-deep in trouble,
or had a lottery win?
you know they're out there
like some ocean wave
they would sooner perish
than be found warm and safe
fun and games, nobody knows the way
we change, rearrange
see the patterns in the stars as they
slowly fade
ghost shapes
left behind, in your mind,
in your house, in your garden
and in those old photographs, what will we find?
what will we find?

The Bar / Re: What are you remembering?
Last post by icystorm - Apr 15, 2026, 08:38 PMI'm remembering the very sophisticated, charming, and adorable Barbara Hale, who played Della Street on the hit legal drama series Perry Mason from 1957 to 1966. As Perry Mason's private secretary, she was classy, astute, intelligent, and savvy. The images below show Barbara in her role in the series.

I thought I would see more familiar names over in this section, but it doesn't seem to be as busy as it used to be.
Yes, if people don't reply it isn't encouraging.

I know I probably sound repetitive, but your songs are so atmospheric and dramatic, I think this song is excellent and representative of your unique style,
George

Last post by icystorm - Apr 14, 2026, 07:34 PMMy musically gifted friend, Donna Dior, on SoundCloud, YouTube, and other social media, released an excellent remix of a song she composed and performed last year, titled Like The Sun. She plans to include it on her forthcoming album, possibly as the opening track. It's awesome! Give it a play!

Last post by Mora Amaro La Loba - Apr 14, 2026, 07:32 PMQuote from: melroy pheasant on Apr 14, 2026, 05:07 PMNice big sound intro, and great electric guitar effects throughout with excellent lyrics, I found this to be a thrilling but contemplative experience. The chorus/title line could work on a chart dance-pop song right now. But glad you kept it to your way of doing things.
Hola @melroy
I see you're trying to get the forum moving on your own... I'll try to help by commenting too, although sometimes I've commented on other people's posts and nobody's commented on mine, haha.
Well, that doesn't matter, I imagine you as a little being trying to move a mountain... I respect your effort.
Thank you for that.
Now I see you, in another post hahaha

Last post by icystorm - Apr 14, 2026, 05:09 PMIn 1979, the legendary trumpeter Herb Alpert released Rise as the lead single from his album of the same name. The smooth jazz-funk instrumental became a big hit, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart.
