Sometimes you find a song on the dark side of Youtube and fall in love with it. Youtube’s recommendations are usually pretty accurate since it suggests songs that sound like your favorite bands.
Last week I stumbled across the band Ghostly Kisses and I fell in love with their style and visuals. They are an electro/pop group consisting of Margaux Sauvé and Dragos Chiriac. Margaux is the voice, composer and violin player while Dragos is in charge of the musical arrangements mixing and mastering. Together they work together to create haunting songs that can be felt through the speakers.
Check out their best song, “Empty Note” here:
In the song she sings:
“How could I ever know you?
When everything lies in disguise
How could I ever forget?
Those eyes looking for my wealHow could I ever know more?
When everything is held by threat
How could I ever feel you?
Once again, without losing my mind”
Her voice is powerful and sorrowful as she sings about a love that deceived her. Unlike other heartbreak songs, one can truly feel how lost she is. In the music video, she stands in an empty parking lot and a grocery store doing mundane tasks by herself. It correlates to the way the song is delivered since she seems to be in a dissociated state of being trapped in her own thoughts. It seems that being alone is therapeutic for her. The way the camera spins at the end tastefully depicts the world wind that she is experiencing.
Overall not only is it a great song, the music video does a great job at carrying the theme of the song. This video only has 64,000 views at the moment but I expect it to climb in the next few months. You heard it here first folks.
