Goodbye to Yesterday. This is the preview for the next release from The International Ghostrider Collective. The final mix has not been settled on yet but the word is that the song will be released to spotify and other music platforms on Friday May 5, 2023.
Like most of their material this song had a longer gestation period than a large herd of elephants. At the centre of this song sits the hot, liquid core of the band, Russell, Jorgen & Mark. Surrounding the core sits the magnetic presence of reliable members; Karine (vocals) and Tom Roland from the United States! This driving track sports a powerful, all electric motor in the form of talented axeman, Gary Coombs. This track also features, for the first time in the producers chair, Fernando Znas from Madrid, Spain. Enjoy!

Goodbye to Yesterday (russelldowsett)
1: Childhood could never last,
curtains of memory, fading fast
burning all the bridges back to the past
and watching all the walls decay...
I'm washing my hands,
I'm floating away,
I don't hear a word that you say.
I'm taking my mind back,
to the blank slate, and it's....
goodbye to yesterday.
Role models, morals of the private school,
staring at the girl and you feel like a fool,
screaming in a straight jacket,
drowning in a pool of reality,
qu'est-ce que c'est?
I'm weighing the anchor,
I’m hauling the ropes and I'm
setting the lifeboats free.
Don't come looking for the captain’s son
cos you'd never recognize me....
Sandbags of guilt they're going overboard,
expectations got to be ignored
and all the excess baggage that I can't afford, I've
given it to yesterday......
