about
Phantom Ride celebrates the grace that cannot be produced, that shows its face only on the unexpected moment. The lovers are on the railroad to freedom. The waiting is over, the dreams of the silver screen incarnate.

”I can see your silhouette
When the light cuts the space
Time works hard to get us out of our heads
This place is a holy place
Among other sacred things
Soon it will fall
We can read it from the papers
We can see it on the silver screen
Wherever we go
They’re knocking at our door
Throw away the storyboard
Blueprints, 3D, my mobile phone
I can see and I can walk
I’m speaking in tongues
Cause I do recall
Like modern-day Mitchell and Kenyon
We got our lives tied to railroads
The words are water
And waiting’s for the sane
Guide me through it all
All over again
Self-immolation could stop it all
Life in a tailspin
The ideas drift free at the station hall
Next to smokey lane
I was living my life in Hollywood b film.
Did I have a choice?
You killed the phrase that I was repeating
When you raised your voice
On the day you stepped in
Throw away the storyboard
Blueprints, 3D, my mobile phone
I can see and I can walk
I’m speaking in tongues
Cause I do recall
Like modern day Mitchell and Kenyon
We got our lives tied to railroads
The words are water
And waiting’s for the sane
Guide me through it all
All over again
Throw away the storyboard
3 minutes of pitching and my mobile phone
I can see and I can walk
I’m speaking in tongues
Cause I do recall
Yes I do recall
I can see your silhouette
When the light cuts the space
Time works hard to get us out of our heads
This place is a holy place”
