I also love the flangey guitars and the eerie feel to this one. Very nice atmospheric song, sounded pretty good to me.

Yes, I agree with Nigel on this one. Trippy and eerie.

Going back and looking over posts that have been made since I joined the site, I found that though I've listened to this song a number of times (I like spooky :) ), I've never commented.  (Again, I know it's not required but when something moves me I like to let the songwriter know...)

I really do second and third what other commenters have pointed out:
* "Nice and mello ... ghostly atmosphere" - Farrell Jackson
* "...a bit [of a] psychedelic vibe..." - Redler
* "Great guitar tone, cool atmosphere, great lyrics." - Hook  (Rock on!)
* "...lovely and trippy" - oldrottenhead
* "...eerie feel ... atmospheric song..." - Ferryman
* "Trippy and eerie." - Flash Harry

ESPECIALLY the lyrics (as I'm a lyrics-kinda guy).

My one drawback, (and it's more than likely my laptop and phone [my phone glitches up on ALL the songs...  It's an iphone and I guess it has problems meshing with the sound output system here {if it's not a tech product of Apple...}] ), is I'm having trouble hearing some of the vocals.  I missed a word or words on the third line of the second verse:  (I hope I'm not overstepping boundaries by printing out your lyrics...)

"Is there something deep inside you
Something that you'd like to forget.
Does it really ____________ you?
Has it got the better of you yet?"

I love the line '...Has it got the better of you yet?', but I think it would be even more impactive if I fully understood the line before it.. 

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the song:  That the experiences of just living life are going to leave little ghosts that could have lingering effects on our lives, is a haunting ( :) ) thought.  Thank you for posting.

Nice one,kinda reminds me of the style of Blue Nile a Scottish band.
Very mellow laid back vibe with crystal clear jangling chords given it that icing on the cake.
Bravo sir.

Thank you for listening guys, really appreciate the comments

Romidom... just on that one line you couldn't make out... that is...

"Does it rear it's ugly head on you"!

Thank you for listening in to those lyrics!

I should have copied and pasted them in at the beginning but I never typed them up, I just had them scribbled on a bit of paper... getting lazy in my old age!!
