This song is a reflection on how quickly life passes by and the enduring impact of loss.Five years ago, my brother passed away. He struggled for many years with a drug addiction.Last night, as I was up late thinking about him, I turned to SunoAI to channel my thoughts.Listen to Wandering Ghost by watthem.ethhttps://suno.comWandering Ghost by @watthem | SunoPop punk, relatable, heartfelt, and timeless piano-driven alternative throwback rock with a nostalgic grunge ballad song. Listen and make your own with Suno.About the SongThe inspiration for this song dates back to about six months after my brother's passing.While recovering from a tonsillectomy (and aided by postoperative pain meds), I experienced a rare window of vivid dreaming. I dreamt I was on a center stage, playing a piano, with an audience captivated by my performance. I woke up when I realized what I was singing: it was about not attending my brother's funeral.After waking, I was struck by how clearly I could remember the music and lyrics, and I quickly wrote down everything I could recall.For the past five years, I've been slowly piecing this song together, reflecting on my avoidance of going home.My memories of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, feel so strange compared to what I see in the news now—wildfires darkening the summer skies and the once lush Wildcat Hills turning dry.I long to go back to visit, but I know it won't be the same as I remember.Lyrics Wandering Ghost by @watthem | Suno[Piano Intro] [Dreamy, nostalgic reflective][Verse 1] I've been north now I've been south now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral[Upbeat][Verse 2] I've been up now I've been down now In company that lacks Staying in a coma, just to ease my mind...[Pre-Chorus] I remember, a blue sky July, cornfields knee high Tristate used to run high Wild cats green in mind[Chorus] I've been north now I've been south now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral I've been east now I've been west now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral[Verse 3] I strategize, I wager, I risk Double odds, never reveal my tricks Accumulate and ante up, nephew The Pheasant don't fly today[Chorus] I've been north now I've been south now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral I've been east now I've been west now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral[Bridge] I ain't been home in many years Dust settled, barely able Canals running dry Wild cats all have dried[Break][Bridge] North Platte, a trickle flows Prairie sky, orange and bled Sandstone soft with age it shows Sugar valley's memory red[Chorus] I've been north now I've been south now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral I've been east now I've been west now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral[Verse 4] High plains, distant gleams they seem Wandering ghosts in endless dreams Under pressure, under steam Lost in night, never seen[Piano Solo] [Dreamy, nostalgic piano solo][Guitar Solo] [Energetic, catchy guitar solo][Outro][Chorus] I've been north now I've been south now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeral I've been east now I've been west now I've been everywhere but my brother's funeralcheers[Fade][End]Subscribe for moreSubscribe
