Modern poetry makes a profound appearance in the song "Ghost" by Mark Westberg. On its face, the song is a simple acoustic guitar ballad with passionate vocals sung by the writer. Dig a bit deeper though and the listener will find soundscapes of expertly timed reverb and precision chords which must have been an absolute joy to record.
Westberg's lyrics are thoughtful and very dream-scape-oriented; there's more than a little touch of 70's era glam to the style here but tempered with a literary flair that is very satisfying. Think Bernart de Ventadorn meets David Bowie and you've got a pretty cool picture.
