Nicolas – Ghost

Lost in darkness: "Ghost" by Nicolas ignites synthwave romance

Nicolas' latest track “Ghost” is an excit­ing for­ay into the deep waters of mod­ern synth pop, heav­ily influ­enced by the sounds of the 80s. The song is char­ac­ter­ised by a power­ful bass beat and ener­get­ic hand­claps that imme­di­ately catch the ear and invite you to tap along. The high-pitched vocal in the chor­us gives the track a famil­i­ar, almost nos­tal­gic touch that should appeal to fans of bands like "Empathy Test".

Lyrically, "Ghost" moves through a labyrinth­ine web of heartache and long­ing, as the title already sug­gests. The lyr­ics "I love while the sun goes down, as a ghost, I wander" emphas­ise the mel­an­chol­ic romance of the song and per­fectly match its dark mood. Only the chor­us could use a bit more depth to fur­ther enhance the song's intensity.

All in all, "Ghost" is a power­ful track that impress­ively demon­strates Nicolas' abil­ity to con­vey emo­tions through dense syn­thes­iser arrange­ments. This song is part of our Spotify playl­ist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2024‘. The playl­ist is updated con­tinu­ously. Follow this playl­ist now and don’t miss any of the latest synth pop hits in 2024.

Lyrics of "Nicolas – Ghost"

I wanted to be part of somebody's fresh start
And the feel­ings I found
Would leave me want­ing, want­ing more

You nev­er know what is com­ing your way
Through the eye of the storm
There are the raging, raging wave

It's black, blue, hot-white, blood on the floor
Taking everything I can get through the door
It's not good it's plain to see
Let you abuse me, abuse me, woah

I love while the sun goes does
As a ghost, I wander
I'll love you on my own
Like a ghost

Into of your room, and into the hall
There are tiles on the floor
Like a Checker board that's broken
I see red wax from the nights gone before
In the organ­ised chaos
That makes want you, want you more

I'm black, blue, hot-white, barely alive
Doing any­thing I can do to survive
Comme Jules et Jim chaque nuit
But it is futile, futile woah

I love you while the sun goes does
As a ghost, I wander
I'll love you on my own
As a ghost

You let the sun go down on me that night
Right before my eyes a moment came alive
If I had nev­er said the things that I said
Would I still have died?
Would I still have died?

I love you while the sun goes does
As a ghost, I wander
I'll love you on my own
As a ghost
