Winter Ghosts from Pagan Christmas by Darkwave Hex
The veil grows thin in winter too, and this haunting track honors the spirits that walk during the darkest season. Vocals drift like specters through atmospheric production, acknowledging the pagan belief that winter was a time when ancestors drew close, when the dead mingled with the living around fires and feast tables. The lofi textures add layers of memory and time collapsed, while bells chime like offerings left for wandering souls. This isn't the Halloween dead but the winter dead beloved ghosts invited to yuletide celebrations, remembered through the Germanic and Celtic traditions of leaving out food, drink, and places at the table for those who live now only in memory and spirit.

Lyrics
The wind hums low through the pines tonight
A hollow song in the pale moonlight
Shadows dance where the candles glow
I feel the earth breathe under the snow
A secret whispered
The night will know
Oh winter ghosts
Are you here with me
In the still of the night
By the yule tree
Oh winter ghosts
Do you hear me sing
Through the frost and the cold
Let the bells ring
Frosted glass hides the world outside
I trace a star where the frost has lied
Echoes linger
They twist and weave
The sleigh bells chime
The old gods grieve
This time of year
We never leave
Oh winter ghosts
Are you here with me
In the still of the night
By the yule tree
Oh winter ghosts
Do you hear me sing
Through the frost and the cold
Let the bells ring
