Commentary:

This song is full of raw pain and agony. My teenage sweetheart, soul mate and wife Mona left me completely without warning and proceeded to take all my money, my home, and worst of all, my two young children. Some people take vows for life, and some people take vows for the moment because it seems to be the right thing to do at the time. The vow says, "in sickness and in health, for better or for worse". Why is it that divorce is the first option for our generation? How did divorce become so acceptable? How can true lovers fall out of love and try to destroy their former lover? How can any adult use children as pawns in the sick game of divorce? Why is this all happening to so many of us? These questions remain unanswered. The pain is real. The disease is alive, growing, spreading and infecting the entire population.

This is a simple song of lost love, about how for some people, it is not possible to ever forget. The Ghost of Our Love answers no questions. It asks no questions. It is simply a cry of agony and a statement of fact. It was written on piano when I was living in a rented room in Pleasant Hill with a man and his retarded son after Mona forceably ejected me from my dream home in Walnut Creek. The living situation with this man was miserable but there was a piano in the house so something valuable was dredged up from the sad living experience. This is what is called "suffering for your art".
