“No one hears what you say when you’re alone…”
Lumen Loraine, the heart and soul behind Cayo Coco, brings us Ghosts Talk, a heartfelt confession, a whisper in the dark, and a call to those who’ve ever felt unseen.
Drenched in dreamy indie pop vibes, the song wraps you in a cocoon of lush synths and melodies that you can’t help but hum along to. It’s like walking through a misty forest at dawn; there’s a haunting beauty that’s both chilling and comforting. The gentle caress of the piano sets the stage, only to be met with Loraine’s voice, which feels like a warm embrace on a cold night. And just when you think you’ve settled into the rhythm, the chorus takes flight, lifting you with its vibrant beats and ethereal synth waves.
He mentions that the song wasn’t crafted with a preconceived intention. Instead, it evolved organically, revealing its meaning in retrospect. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of someone who feels invisible, echoing the sentiments of many who grapple with feelings of isolation in today’s fast-paced world. Yet, there’s also a spiritual dimension to the track. Loraine’s references to angels and spirits hint at a deeper connection to the unseen world, suggesting that while we may feel alone, we are always surrounded by ethereal guardians.
The chorus, “No one knows how to talk to a ghost, but they notice you,” is particularly evocative, capturing the essence of the song’s theme. It’s a reminder that even in our loneliest moments, we are seen and acknowledged, even if it’s by entities beyond our comprehension.
The song’s outro, with its repetitive mantra of “What am I waiting for,” followed by a series of apologetic utterances, adds a layer of vulnerability to the track. It’s as if Loraine is baring his soul, seeking forgiveness for past transgressions, and yearning for a fresh start.
Ghosts Talk is a song that creates an experience, a bridge between the tangible and the ethereal, inviting listeners to traverse the delicate boundary between solitude and connection, between the seen and the unseen.
