.. . Antony Hegardy o Is the reason ghosts love the rain. “The Lake” Edgar Allen Poe Reinterpreted by Antony Hegardy In youth’s spring, it was my lot To haunt of the wide earth a spot To which I could not love the less So lovely was the loneliness Of a wild lake, with black rock bound And the tall trees that towered around But when the night had thrown her pall Upon that spot as upon all And the wind would pass me by In it’s stilly melody My infant spirit would awake To the terror of the lone lake My infant spirit would awake To the terror of the lone lake Yet that terror was not fright But a tremulous delight And a feeling undefined Springing from a darkened mind Death was in that poisoned wave And in it’s gulf a fitting grave For him who thence could solace bring To his dark imagining Whose wildering though could even make An Eden of that dim lake But when the night had thrown her pall Upon that spot as upon all And the wind would pass me by In it’s stilly melody My infant spirit would awake To the

the happy phantom doesn’t need an umbrella

the happy phantom is not like most ghosts, she loves to sun bathe, dance under the sky, and even take off her garments for a dip in the water. “So if I die today I’ll be the happy phantom And I’ll go wearin’ my naughties like a jewel They’ll be my ticket to the universal opera There’s Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand And then these seven little men get up to dance They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen I’m still an angel to a girl who hates to sin Oo who… Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back You found a girl that you could truly love again Will you still call for me when she falls asleep Or do we soon forget the things we cannot see Oo who… ” -Tori Amos

Humans always want to reach other realms. With the birth of electronic music and its wholehearted acceptance into 80′s popular culture, humans got closer to otherworldliness.  Androgyny reigned and as people summoned their Martian counterparts by way of instruments altering natural sound, they all grew a little closer to the weird and strange, dead, undead, broken, distant, and freakish. With synth pop’s uneasy swells and nuances.  Ghosts and the paranormal seem closer than before. Science fiction and narrative become more a part of the look and feel of 80′s music. Waving mind-numbing sounds with electro-light shows, fog, and indiglo face paint took center stage eating up any bit a reminder of the normalcy in the streets outside.  ••• Gary Numan, a  progenitor of the pop electronic music movement summons alien chic, otherworldliness and captivating escapism with flailing arms and limbs. Electronics have brought us closer to the unknown, just like acid, yet more creepy and straight edge.

In order to designate reality, Buddhism says sunya, the void; but better still, tathata, as Alan Watts has it, the fact of being this, of being thus, of being so; tat means that in Sanskrit and suggests the gesture of a child pointing his finger at something and saying that, there it is, lo! but says nothing else; a photograph cannot be transformed (spoken) philosophically, it is wholly ballasted by the contingency of which it is the weightless, transparent envelope. -Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida Images via Crowolf, Ghost Research
