Tomorrow’s Outlook - “Silver Ghost“ - Official Music Video

’Silver Ghost’ Is The Second Video Single from Our Upcoming ’Black Waves’ Album. The concept behind the song: In the year 1905, Hanna was a hard-working northern Norwegian woman whose husband had tragically just passed away. She took on his duties as lightkeeper at Steglholmen near Gressholman, the old trade centre in Vågsfjorden south of Harstad. For more than 20 years she dutifully kept the light shining, guiding the ships safely past her post and on their way. The light was often exposed to the harshest of weather, but the job was an important one for more than one reason – the homestead they had bought when her beloved husband was still alive must be paid for, so the money was needed. The work was challenging, both physically and mentally. Crossing the dark, stormy sea in a small rowboat, that’s one thing. Another was the ever-present knowledge that once upon a time, this was the place of execution for three murderers whose remains were mounted on stakes and left there until time and nature had done away with them. As the black waves beat her boat and the wind howled at her light, she often glimpsed their horrific spectres beneath the foamy sea. But Hanna remained a brave and dutiful human, and she stood ever firm in the face of these trials. Black Waves is a concept album based on real events from the coastal region surrounding the Gressholman peninsula, stretching from 1748 to the early 1900s. We hear the deeply shocking story of a brutal double murder which shook a small community, and also about a once vital and important trading post which met its ultimate end in a fire centuries later. The stories are mostly told through the eyes of the people involved, whose stories are guided by the superstitions, fears, and beliefs native to the northern part of Norway. “SILVER GHOST“ Lyrics: The storm is threatening The ocean roars with untamed rage and breaks (like glass) Savagely upon the rocks below And there she stands, immovable Strong against the storm Mighty in the face of what’s to come From the darkness emerges a vision of fear A figure of cursed nightmare A spectre has risen from the depths of the sea In every soul there dwells a force The spirit of the fight And even though her mind knows fear She will not die tonight She calls upon it now As she stares beyond the coast And the spirit is too strong To fear the Silver Ghost She pushes off, away from solid ground The boat is miniscule, just a toy Insignificant against the sea But her duty stands within her mind And right behind comes pride A pillar in the face of what’s to come From the darkness emerges a vision of fear A figure of cursed nightmare A spectre has risen from the depths of the sea In every soul there dwells a force The spirit of the fight And even though her mind knows fear She will not die tonight She calls upon it now As she stares beyond the coast And the spirit is too strong To fear the Silver Ghost She recalls the tales of five who lost their lives Two and three, could it be They have come to wreak revenge She could turn the boat around and leave this place Let it burn, not return Never feel the fear again Contact: management@ mail@
