about

"The entire song is put together beautifully, with each element combining forces to create a masterpiece of emotional expression....Within the words lies a powerful wisdom and spectacular message about not believing everything we see and hear on social media." - Music Talkers

"Parkinson’s vocal range is dynamic and mature with a variety of styles and harmonies being illustrated to us and with the delicately played piano it almost presents a fantasy element to the music. It’s a very thought-provoking piece when you combine the music, lyrics and video elements" - Reyt Good Magazine

"The track itself has a gorgeous melody, the piano is hella hella clean, the drums are slamming good and wonderfully tight, Parkinson’s vocals are powerful, soaring and rich, the man plays a damn mean guitar (love that bridge!) and the sentiment behind the song is something we should all be paying more attention to."- Leo Sigh Reviews

"Ever thought-provoking and always compelling, One Cure for Man is a unique artist. We thoroughly enjoyed ‘The Haunted’, and we are looking forward to checking out his past releases too. Make sure you add this innovative single to your weekend playlist!" - FV Music Blog

"One Cure For Man tells a sad tale of modern life in ‘The Haunted’ using a combination of bitter melodies, provoking lyrics and stirring vocals. The falsettos throughout the track give you goosebumps and drive home the message of the song." - The Other Side Reviews

lyrics

The Haunted Lyrics (c)James Parkinson 2020

THINK, ABOUT THOSE
THAT DON’T NEED
TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT
BE LOVED BY THE ONES,
THAT COULD NEVER CARE OR DREAM

THOSE LIVES, THEY’RE HAUNTED
THE SCREAMING, THE HAUNTED

A CHILD REACHES OUT
FOR A COLD, NUMB HAND
A LIFE, NOW ALL ALONE
IS HEAVEN FULL OR FULL OF THE DAMNED?
A LIVING HELL

THOSE LIVES, THEY’RE HAUNTED
THE TREMBLING, THE HAUNTED

THOSE LIVES, THEY’RE HAUNTED
THE SCREAMING, THE HAUNTED

THOSE LIVES, THEY’RE HAUNTED
UNEARTHLY, THE HAUNTED

THOSE LIVES, THEY’RE HAUNTED
