about

An psych/pop ode to those awkward romances you have in your teens....The opening track on Bachelor Tapes.

lyrics

Not how I raised my love

That’s not how I raised my love
That’s not how I raised my love

When the school bell rings
I run down the stairs
I’ll find you in the city
I stare at you from across the road
You sit down next to me
Time slows
The walls they are moving
And I must go

That’s not how I raised my love
This is not how I raised my love

I see red
I see stars
And I’ll fantasise
It keeps me up all night

My mind wanders
My body drifts away
I see you undress
But the light it fades

I see light
I see love
I see red
I see stars
I see light
I see love
I see red
I see stars

That’s not how I raised my love
This is not how I raised my love

from Bachelor Tapes, released March 29, 2018
“Bachelor Tapes” by Cold Ghost aka Fletcher Babb. All songs written, recorded and produced by Fletch.

Mixed and mastered by Fletch.

Recorded and produced on the Gold Coast at Griffith University studios and Fletch’s home base, ‘Traffic or the Waves’.

Thanks to: Jake Morton (drums) and Ricky Collins (bass and guitar) for helping supply the core rhythms and grooves and for pressing record when I needed. Greg Hosking (drums) and Ben Dougherty (guitar) for making ‘Hide It All Away’ sound so good. Eliza Pickard (vox) and Zoe Gelzinnis (vox/piano) for your ethereal vocals. Daniel Booth for the weird effects. Also to Callum Robinson, Tiarni Hope Nichols, Connor Verner-Oakley and anyone else who helped out in any of the recording sessions.

Thanks also to Brendan Anthony, Jared Adlam and Caleb James, your guidance throughout this production process was invaluable. And to Anthony Lycenko, for helping shape ‘Vampire Love Song”, may you rest in peace.

This album is dedicated to Bernadette, Jonquil and Banquo, together anything is possible.
