Inconsequential Ghosts

Liner Notes
My entry in the #fakeit challenge, thanks to @elainedimasi for the lead sheet and lyrics! These chords are super cool!
This is a bit #70s ballad, complete with easy piano and dreamy #flugelhorn (yes it's real!)

Lyrics
Flugel and piano Intro Fmaj7 - G - Fmaj7 - G/A x2
inconsequential ghosts; small ghosts ghosts that cling to legs of tables mediant ghosts - sulky ghosts ghosts who'd haunt new statuettes if they were able racing shades have made my head a schoolyard hiding, tagging, taunt(ing) ~~(dis-)~~spirits make my soul hard...
Flugel and piano interlude Fmaj7 - G - Fmaj7 - G/A x2
never-married ghosts; winding ghosts ghosts that wring a mumbled fable from my memory quisling ghosts: filed ghosts. ghosts to sweep up after, haunt the office empty sleeping shades with one eye open after-hours schoolyard never graduating this seems - too hard
inconsequential ghosts oo-oo-oo-ooh

Your flugelhorn is gorgeous! And you've used the Em-F step-up to great effect.
Like you, I always wait to get my FakeIt done before listening, just in case because I can never tell when a melody or a rhythm pattern's gonna get stuck in my ear.

I had to record one first, but now I can listen. Love how I can hear mine in yours, even though they're very different, just because it's the same key and chords. This is so pretty with the piano, horn, and echo. Very nice. Genius to end on an ooooh!

Ahhh, that flugel interlude is beautiful. Lovely ending with the ooo notes. I love how you sang ghosts-to-sweep-up-after, it swept along/glided ghost-like in your voice. Gorgeous version. I loved this prompt, so interesting hearing how everyone used it.
