Lyrics Snapshot:
VERSE 1
Backyard barbecues and fireworks
Pride for the Stars and Stripes
Forty-fives and faded jeans
Little league and apple pie
CHORUS
Where is our America
And the golden days we’ve left behind
They came and went way to fast
I get lost in the past
Chasing ghosts of a simpler time
The song artfully taps into a collective sentiment, offering a reflective escape from the rapid pace and chaos of modern life. “‘Ghosts Of A Simpler Time’ is more than just a song,” said Hunt. “It’s an anthem for those who miss the familiarity of a world less complicated—where laughter echoed at backyard barbecues, couples fell in love under moonlight skies, and life moved at a slower pace.”
Moreover, the single will be featured on the Independent Music Network’s “Summer Hits” program, airing this August. It marks Hunt’s first new release since her critically acclaimed 2024 album, “Miles & Memories,” which featured the #1 international Spotify chart hit, “The Vice.”
