by Greg Dale

ArenTheWolf Greg provides both haunting and powerful vocals accompanied by some very smooth guitar work and powerful percussion. Tracks like White Factory Noise feel serene and somber, while the more upbeat tracks like Pizzin'n'Kizzin deliver one hell of a punch. Gorgeous album all around. Favorite track: Pizzin'n'Kizzin.

My My MY 03:53
It has four on the floor need i say more sometimes i need the steady time

Visitor 04:12
Visitor way{from } way out in the stars come the visitors what do they see chaos and beauty have they been here all along ( letting us do what we do ) leaving hidden clues ( take me away ) before the dawn did they build the sun loving tribes from space built a place to keep us safe wrongs will find the way to bring tragedy to the play once a gentle wind....... ( now its roaring rawwrrr ) our prayers shoot into space ( some will find there way ) they can change our fate be they not selfish a war in the skies are we the alibi can they keep us safe ( be they not selfish ) are we the alibi or are we just like them

New Morning 05:32
Burned out rafters in a burned out barn Here comes the twilight , here comes the stars It’s a new morning If the golden state were to wash away The grand Sierras would touch the sea Oh, It’s a new morning I guess we got it wrong Hold my hand here comes the flood Can’t wash away our love Its a new morning
4.
Rodeo 05:22
Rodeo It’s the call of the wild , It just sounds like your wasted and your thumbing through your pocket for a cigarette And you don’t quite believe that anything can save us, being here should be enough You live your life like a rodeo, the dirt and the sweat and the broken bones Just hang on and ride The sky looks old in the high desert, and the moons been frozen for a million years And all of the fauna that blooms after winter, has it’s moment in the sun Outside seems like home to you, all the hard time that you put yourself through here’s one for the road Your blankets are stitched with stars. the ground is so cold where’s baby’s arms there’s no cryin’ at the rodeo The temple of your body is in need of repair, your eyes still shine there’s a light on in there And you set down your baggage and you walk away, you build it back up day by day Well this ain’ t your first rodeo This aint ‘ your first rodeo
5.
Crazy , you are crazy. Your pupils gather in pools, your tongue is lazy Scream, unhitch and scream... From the top of your perch into the realm of dreams Ahhhhh Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhhh Drugs, drugs and love. Keep them to yourself they’re gifts from above Burn, Burn it whole. Burn it to the ground it never gets old Shame on the men who led you astray, shame on my eyes I can’t look away Pizzin’ on and kizzin’ on those wise old souls , you can’t get back the soul that you sold Pizzin’ on and kizzin’ on the man with horns, you cant undo what’s already done Pissed off and tossed off there aint no parole, your sails are on fire, your stuck in the boat Moan, moan and howl, the moon is full, your hearts a deadly flower Cut , cut and rip out, cut out the good unhinge your jaws and swallow Back for more you can’t get enough, your eyes are like wheel they’re riding the rush

Dreams come in sleep they come when I wander off they come some more Blank spots in my vision where you work inside your secret world Come out come out i cried i seek and cannot find you If your were a gun I would shoot you I wear you like protection through the seasons in this wasteland Sprawling sprawl and heavy smog people write their name up on the wall Tattooed Romans at the gates they politely knock my how times have changed If you were a gun I would shoot you Celebration is in the air all eyes are smiling cept yours my dear I hold you up where the stars still shine above the din just to make you smile You say “ every hour wounds it’s the last one that will kill ya “ if you were a gun i would shoot you If you were a gun I would shoot you straight into the air til it rained back down the sky don’t seem to care and either do you my dear If you were a gun I would shoot you Out on the edge of town I wait for you to climb back down Down off your woven ladder spun from the hair of the fallen angels You carry their prayers to the High of Highs your face looks tired i hear you sigh “ If God were a gun I would shoot it “ “ When the truth hurts ,you wear it like a crown “ are the word you said when we circled round To look for the best way in to sell our dreams then leave again I don’t work for anyone yet you’ve owned me since i was young If you were a gun i would shoot you

White factory noise , It’s the heartbeat it’s the back beat and the freeway rolls by This city has wings, this city it sings, but on the tracks they sell White factory noise The man had a blue factory flame, the man he drank and it went away I can still hear his voice over the white factory noise The factory makes the shade, it makes more everyday In the vacuum there’s a siren White factory noise
8.
We come from the Americas, the shitty holes the coastal towns U.S.A. born and bred We have the one we have the two but that Aint our point of view This Aint a numbers game A horse a horse of course of course but the horse that stays the course wear the finest shoes Remorse remorse let’s up our dose we don;t want to be verbose But we like nice shoes too Aint Nothing to this He’s a candy coated hologram mister flippy bird don’t give a damn wearing his satin shoes He pied pied pipes along we sing sing sing his song and eat his magic root When the party starts to fade the shinning stars they have it made Karma chips a tooth The party that goes on and on turns into a dying yawn And hits the wall for proof Aint nothing to this Aint nothing to this

Water Bearer 05:35
I see a face and I cross the street No need to go backward no need to be seen I feel the wind of the past blow through the hollows of this empty crevace I see a change need to come we are tearing at the seams Of a world undone It’s cold outside come in you fool We barely get by ... burn the scriptures for fuel I said “watch while we blow the lid off set down our ego’s and turn back the clocks To a time when the sexes were fair, if we all made the promise we’d be half the way there It’s time to call the Water Bearer “ i said “ oh what is the cost, to look to a future with no man on a cross and in time a new day will dawn just wait just wait When is it coming , what if she’s late What if it’s nothing and it all stays the same Let’s pick up the people that don’t have a say Teach them to love and that their gods in the way way I say “ na nah na na nah “ I say “ no “ Nah nah na nah na nah

about

Greg Dale is a singing, songwriting, guitar- playing veteran of San Francisco Bay Area's fertile rock music scene. On his new full- length album Winter's Ghost, he weaves a dreamy musical web of heart-felt tales from the modern American struggle amidst surreal times. The new Higher Font Records release will be available June 9, 2017 on vinyl LPs, CD and download via iTunes, Amazon and other popular digital music destinations.

"Winter's Ghost is an album of short stories," explained Dale about the album's genesis. "Some are autobiographical, some are fiction. Some were forged out of real pain from the streets, where losing battles are fought over and over again. But I tried to sprinkle in seeds of hope and change, to keep the balance and to speak to where I'm at personally. Its all held together by two distinct guitar sounds which add dark or light atmospheres and punch things up when needed."
At times heart-wrenching, Dale's art-fueled roots-rock-with-a-blue- twist is a welcome breath of passion amidst today's increasingly superficial musical landscape. And even as the vinyl LP promo sticker on Winter's Ghost playfully touts "No Love Songs," Dale remains hopeful, singing: "And I merge with the day, try to keep them blues away" (from the rocking opener "My My My").
That four-on-the-floor intro paves the road for the haunting "Visitor," a showcase for Dale and his band including JC O'Donnell on guitar and Peter Schmitt on upright acoustic bass. "New Morning” features Dale’s lead guitar in an electric howl to muses from CBGBs to Laurel Canyon. The barn burning "The Ballad of Alabama
Impossible" delivers the fiery analogy: "Every hour wounds. Its the last one that will kill you. If you were a gun I would shoot you."
Greg Dale writes soul-inspiring songs, plays some mean guitar and with Winter's Ghost it is clear he has some poignant stories to share. Listen...
