Hazlett doesn’t rush. In Do You Haunt Me,  his latest single from Goodbye to the Valley Low, the folk musician gently walks us through the fog of complicated emotions.

The track feels like a quiet moment of reflection, where muted acoustic strums and ethereal guitar lines intertwine, slowly unravelling a tangle of thoughts and feelings.

There’s no urgency here, just a steady pulse—a heartbeat that keeps moving forward, even when everything else feels uncertain.

Hazlett has always had a knack for creating space in his music. In Do You Haunt Me,  that space feels particularly intimate.

His hushed vocals reach out softly, asking questions rather than delivering answers.

The track, with its hypnotic layers and understated beat, carries the weight of something unresolved, but there’s comfort in that lack of resolution.

As Hazlett sings, “Do you haunt me? Do you, love?” it’s less of an accusation and more of an open-ended thought, left hanging in the air.

Lyrically, Hazlett leans into ambiguity. The song moves through images of cold Decembers on the French Riviera, glitter in coal mines, and faith in constellations.

These are fragments, not quite puzzle pieces but fleeting impressions that capture the unease of searching for certainty in a world that rarely offers it.

In one line, Hazlett muses, “Saw a glitter in a coal mine I thought I had mistaken.”

It’s a brief flicker of hope, a reminder that sometimes the things we’re searching for are buried in the least expected places.

The hook, with its repetitive “Oh oh oh, do you haunt me?” feels almost anthemic.

It’s a moment of release, where all the introspective wandering builds into something larger, something that could easily be shouted along with a crowd.

And yet, even as the chorus lifts, there’s a haunting quality to it—a sense that the question remains unanswered, as if the ghost of the past isn’t quite done with us yet.

Throughout the track, Hazlett touches on the idea that healing isn’t straightforward. 

“There’ll be dead ends, there’ll be mistakes,” he says of the song, and that sentiment weaves itself through every note.

The track lingers in the grey areas, the spaces where things aren’t fully formed.

It’s hypnotic without being heavy-handed, intimate without being too delicate.

There’s an uplifting quality to the music—especially in the hook—but it’s anthemic in a quiet, reflective way.

After all, as Hazlett reminds us, for every step that feels like it’s going backwards, there’s always the possibility that we’re moving closer to where we need to be, even if we don’t see it yet.

Hazlett Do You Haunt Me Lyrics

Verse 1
There’s a call for you coming the French Riviera
It’s cold out there in December
Just come home when you feel better
Saw a glitter in a coal mine I thought I had mistaken
Tell the space that I’m saving
Hurry up now we’re waiting

Hook
Oh oh oh
Do you haunt me
Do you, love?
Oh oh oh
Do you haunt me
Do you, love?

Verse 2
To the garden in my head saying life’s not meant to be easy
Then what’s the point barely breathing
Strangers digging for reasons
Putting my faith in some kind of constellation
Deep diving conversations
Knowing I’ll never change them

Hook
Oh oh oh
Do you haunt me
Do you, love?
Oh oh oh
Do you haunt me
Do you, love?
