A Quiet Blast Of Winter Loneliness From JBM
It was a second and a half of silence that made me fall in love with "Winter Ghosts." JBM, a.k.a. Jesse Marchant, spends more than a minute playing a song filled with a sombre, cold mood and then, just as you think the song will crescendo and explode, it stops and lingers for exactly long enough to draw out the tension of the moment. In that stretched-out second you're required to fill in the blank space — giving a burst of nervous energy to the song.
Listen to JBM's "Winter Ghosts"
- Song: Winter Ghosts
- from Stray Ashes
Marchant creates a sound that feels so vast with only vocals, guitar loops and a steady drum beat. Each element in the song includes some form of echo — the reverb on Marchant's voice or the repetitive guitar melody, which makes the track seem both hauntingly unnatural and spacious. There are so few pieces at work that the manipulations feel exaggerated — increasing the sense of space in the song while remaining an intimate, individual focus.
The lyrics are filled with a resigned hope. "'Winter Ghosts' is a song about all that is gone or missing, and about the realization that you are in fact desperately lost without it," Marchant wrote in an email. His narrator is waiting for things to happen — for a storm to come and for someone to arrive — but there's a hint of a realization that what he hopes for will never come. The song ends quietly, Marchant silent and stuck with only his memories of the past.
JBM's Stray Ashes will be out on May 22nd on Western Vinyl .

JBM - Winter Ghosts Lyrics
Artist: JBM
Album: Stray Ashes at Isokon
By the window up in the bedroom I can hear the storm come From many roads away And it brings the night If the ones who died sit around me I hope they're going to stay And that maybe you'll arrive In the rain that's rolling in These summer nights I feel you on my skin Winter came as a load Frozen down to the bone I lived here half asleep Walking nights to the road Empty, drunk and alone In hopes you'd come to me Before the morning Before you're running But why are you running? Where are you running? Home? Once I knew you Lay my head upon your lap Once I knew you In your eyes a calming light Once I knew you And your hand upon my back Once I knew you In a life ain't coming back

We have here "Winter Ghosts," a new song from Brooklyn-by-way-of-Montreal songwriter JBM's upcoming album Stray Ashes , which will be released on May 22 via Western Vinyl.
JBM, a.k.a. Jesse Marchant, recorded Ashes with St. Vincent/Walkmen producer John Congleton after a time spent writing songs in a upstate New York cabin, which might explain song titles like "Forest" and "Crooked Branches."
Even if the nice weather makes you disinclined towards a song called "Winter Ghosts," we recommend you check the song out anyway.
It's a hushed, moving number that draws you in with rippling atmosphere, understated playing and Marchant's compelling voice, which compares well with peers like M. Ward or Jim James. It's the type of song that creates such a strong meditative mood that when a cymbal crash erupts halfway through, it feels like a dash of thunder.
JBM will support Ashes with a stop at Mercury Lounge on May 19.

It's one of the best song that I have ever listened. So soothing. I feel like I am transcending into a new world, some place I have never been to and each time I listen to it, I get into my zone and find myself chasing after the lost self of myself.

I was writing a song and then i realised i was re-writing this amazing song by JBM. So I did a full production cover of it. Why not ?
