“Ghosts of the Past” by Jodi Heights is an enchanting and melancholic chamber pop piece. Released on October 4, 2024, this ethereal single is the perfect accompaniment for your reflective ruminations. Pair that with delicate instrumentals and profound lyrical depth, and you have Heights singing soothingly into her latest single.
From the opening, “Ghosts of the Past” draws listeners in with its high, rhythmic melodies that chime and glint and immediately establish an otherworldly ambiance. Jodi’s tender, delicate, slow, and careful voice has an eerie and unearthly aura. She sings ethereally with profound sensitivity in her performative range. Her vocal delivery, filled with soulfulness and grace, soars and trails seamlessly, pulling listeners into the emotional landscape she paints.
The song’s instrumentation complements the mood with precision. The harp, sparkling throughout the track, represents the cyclical nature of life, while the deep, rich tones of the duetting cellos, arranged by Cairo Marques-Neto, bring the swell of emotional tension purring out of the heart.
In “Ghosts of the Past,” the imagery of living “in the attic with the ghosts of the past” underscores the emotional weight of the song, representing a life that is haunted by regret and unrealized potential.
Listen to the haunt of the “Ghosts of the Past” and see if you have something you can’t get past either.
