Revolution 03:44
REVOLUTION I was thinking about you on the night train I was wondering where you had been sleeping Don’t you want to start it Start a revolution In your heart I heard people been telling all your secrets They’re not worth the advice if they can’t keep it Don’t you want to start it Start a revolution In your heart I’ve seen waters that freeze out on the ocean I’ve seen people defy the laws of motion Don’t you want to start it Start a revolution In your heart Don’t you want to start it Start a revolution Take it down to Houston Out into the ocean Underneath the moonlight Burning through the dark night Till everything is all right With you and me I was thinking about you on the night train I was wondering where you had been sleeping Ever since you started That old revolution In my heart

SHINING LIGHT Oh I know you You’ve got that look there in your eyes I know it’s not right now It’s not tomorrow It’s tonight I’ve got starlight in my eyes I don’t think you realize I can see through your disguise I don’t got no grand design If you give it to me I’ll be your baby If you want to come clean I’ll be your needle in the dark If you want to believe I’ll be your angel I’ll be your shining light Throw down your arms The tide is turning with the dawn The more you give The more you take The more you want I’ve got Starla on the phone I don’t think she’s going home She’s not here nor in between Tear your heart out at the scene If you give it to me I’ll be your baby If you want to come clean I’ll be your needle in the dark If you want to believe I’ll be your angel I’ll be your shining light Oh oh oh shining light Oh oh oh shining light Why don’t you shine on me tonight

Get You Over 04:11
GET YOU OVER Baby what you’re saying It ain’t worth a dime One more deal on main street And you’ll be doing time I’m gonna get you over I’m gonna get you Baby what you’re doing It ain’t gonna last There’ll be stormy weather On that stony pass I’m gonna get you over I’m gonna get you I’m gonna get you over I’m gonna get you Baby what you doing Standing in the sun Looking like you’ve got it You’re not the only one I’m gonna get you over I’m gonna get you I’m gonna get you over I’m gonna get you Baby what you saying All your work is through Don’t know what you’re thinking Cause I’m not through with you I’m gonna get you over I’m gonna get you I’m gonna get you over I’m gonna get you

Gallery 04:23
GALLERY Sweet satellite I gotta tell you that I won’t go on I think it’s fine If you go north then I’ll go south and move on This time I’m gone This time hold on Say you wanna take me out Say you wanna take me out on the town You know you’re no good You know you don’t do me The way that you could You know you don’t tell me The things that you should And like you could save me Not like you could save me Unlikely you’ll save me All that I know Is you’re as far away as I’d ever go All that I can say Is when you reach for me you’re too far away This time I’m gone This time hold on Say you wanna take me out Say you wanna take me out on the town You know you’re no good You know you don’t do me The way that you could You know you don’t tell me The things that you should And like you could save me Not like you could save me Unlikely you’ll save me If it’s only us Who will we trust If it’s only us You know you’re no good You know you’re no good You know you’re no good You know you’re no good

GHOST OF SOMETHING NEW Can we recede into the distance Can we seal the ancient book Can we follow through the firelight Can we find another truth I know there’s times I played it different I know the sound of steel on wood I know the hand of time swings swift I know I can’t let go of it O restless sun Maybe it’s better in the country Maybe the train’s still in the station Maybe the meadow’s full of patience Maybe you shouldn’t lie alone O restless sun Sometimes the light in you is blinding Sometimes the trick is in the finding Sometimes you don’t know what you’ll lose Someday you’re gonna have to choose O restless sun So you fell back into the distance Searching for some old ancient truth Now you’re burning through the firelight Just like the ghost of something new

Almost 03:35
Almost “It is an old and ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way;” - Rollo May I might be right Most of the time But I won’t be the one To make you tow the line And I’ll be ready for you Almost all the time I know you swore You wanted more And so you’ll sink the ship Before it hits the shore But I’ll be ready for you Almost all the time So you say you want to get away Almost all the time not all the time Yeah you say you want to get away Almost all the time So what are you gonna do So you cry You wonder why You always fall to pieces Right before you fly But I’ve been ready for you Almost all the time So you say you want to get away Almost all the time not all the time Yeah you say you want to get away Almost all the time So what are you gonna do So there’s gonna be a world war Guns out on the western shore If you’re not moving on So there’s gonna be a hurricane Heartbreak on the motorcade And all of the bets are off

New Orleans 04:09
New Orleans (bedroom version) There’s a house on the edge of town Filled with things that we left around Empty bottles and broken mirrors Try so hard just to disappear There’s a river that’s running free With its own possibility Runs itself right into the sea Somewhere outside of New Orleans I wanted you There’s a voice when it comes to me Breaks my heart with its melody Growing stronger with every hour In the eaves of your broken tower There’s a house on an empty lot Overgrown with forget-me-nots Growing older with every hour With your arms full of broken flowers How you gonna walk the streets With no one there to find you When the money runs out How you gonna fall asleep With no one there to speak your name When morning comes round It’s coming around Left my love down in New Orleans Do you know what you’ve done to me Left it all in the pouring rain All my love like a hurricane In the letter you sent to me Were the words that would set me free All my love like a mystery Do I want you do you want me How you gonna walk the streets With no one there to find you When the money runs out How you gonna fall asleep With no one there to speak your name When morning comes round Baby it’s just you and me There’s no one left to run to In this watershed town So come to me dirty With the world hung on your shoulders And we’ll shake it all down I wanted you Left my love down in New Orleans Do you know what you’ve done to me I wanted you

about

"Ghost of Something New" is a collection of songs recorded with the Sons of Sweden and other longtime collaborators in Seattle, Brooklyn, and Nashville. Kate wrote these songs while working on other projects including the "White Horses" LP and a second Sons of Sweden record that was never finished. The sessions took place at Two Sticks, Toybox, Litho, Bearhead, and The Shop in Seattle, The Honey Jar in Brooklyn, and Birdhouse in Nashville.

After long development, "Ghost of Something New" emerges as a slight departure from the melancholia of "White Horses," Kate’s most recent release, while hearkening back to the atmospheric mystery heard in "Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden."

The deluxe version of "Ghost of Something New" is out March 27, 2012 complete with full album art and bonus tracks.
