Frozen Ghost is one of the most under rated groups in Canadian history. Their first CD was by far their best with some good tunes that followed on later albums. It is such a shame they never made it big in the US. Their music is endless will always be one of the favorite Canadian bands of all time.....their music lives on forever.
Went to school, C.W. Jeffrey's, with Arnold, he played on the football team with my ex-boyfriend, I was also a cheerleader ☺️. He was a really cool guy and played in the band but I never knew the extent of his passion for music. Every now and then I'll hear one of their songs on Q107 and it always gives me a little thrill. 👻
+Sailordude2012 This album was released in 1987 so the drums in this song were actually created from an analog drum machine and real drum overdubs, not a computer. Awesome arrangements for such an amazing song!
a song of trying to get a sober gaining soberity losin from the guilt of skipping the commitment from a drink i always liked this song it reminded me of getting sober with a recovering alcohlic I fell head over heels in love with and it didnt end well I will never forget him the lycris
Whoa, just re-discovered this song. A bunch of memories flooded my mind as I heard this. Memories of Calgary, friends, street hockey, listening to the radio. Those were the best days of being a kid and just having fun. Yikes, I'm getting kinda emotional now, LOL!
Gosh I remember this song so well back in 1987 when I was first living in California and was alone. I bought the album and must have listened to it hundreds of times (particularly this song) as I drove and explored all around Southern California which was a complete new and very exciting experience having moved from Ireland. Nice memories...27 years ago in a flash!
Bought this Canadian album in Cali before Amazon and online...must have been a kick ass music store you had access to. Not a day doesnt go back that I wish to go back to the 80's...
I have not heard this song in 20-ish years and I can still sing along and remember all the words, which is surprising because I can't even remember the lyrics to songs *I* write! Great to hear this beautiful song again.
One of my all time favorites as well.....all the way from Houston back to Canada (home) and back (current home). This CD is their BEST!! Too bad they didn't hit it big state side.
The song brings back nostalgic feelings about a relationship I was once involved with , I wish I could turn back the clock and realize then how wrong I was to treat you so poorly. This song reflects my sentiments still to this day
Hope that FROZEN GHOST will resurrect and Tour with a new Album... INCREDIBLE BAND that is #deserving of acknowledgement and Listening To... Such #Impressive Songs!!!
O ma god, had this song way back in the 90s recorded from a friend in a cassette tape, my friend was a proud owner of hundreds of cassettes of AOR/melodic rock which his uncle sent from settled in Toronto, Canada....Here in India, it's a rare scene actually for this kind of music that time and even now. Cheers from Ghy, India.
I know that feeling bro. I am from Darjeeling and we too had these rare AOR tapes thanks to my friend's uncle who brought it for him in bulks while visiting from the US. Lucky to have known these artists and proud to have that unique feeling.
@wrxmike123 Used to live in NE in Rundle, Temple, Whitehorn before moving to the US. Just visited family and friends there in June-July of this year. Had a great time, but didn't play much hockey. Thanks for invite, though!
The sngs, production and sounds are supurb - Arnie is a real genius - his sound and sonwriting are top notch. This is the SAME guy who made Our Lady Peace sound so damn good!
I’ve belted out this track many many times since its release. I got older and after a long distance relationship that couldn’t work out... found myself at the middle of this song. Hits me hard.
arnold lanni (vocals) and wolf hassle (bass) were both in sherrif the rest of sherrif went on to form alias when the sherrif album got hot years after its original release a briant move by lanni to buy the song rights back after the album originally stiffed made him some serious cash lanni now produces albumms for our lady peace and finger 11
I love you so much Dad ... our town was Hard on me Dad... I hope you forgive me Dad! Happy Birthday Day Dad! 84 years today Dad xoxox I mis you and Love you Dad! xo
@progressive59 We don't get it back Pro59,We don't get it back,,,I'm 47,and think about these days all the time.I played the crap out of this CD.....TIME ! Where has it gone ??
@MrSilicon605 17YRS LATER, THE WOMEN MEETS A MAN, QUITE BY ACCIDENT, WHOM "DELIVERED THE GOODS" IN BEING THE KIND OD MAN SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO MEET BACK IN 86'. THEY LIVE TOGETHER, WITH HER YOUNGEST SON STILL INSIDE AND THE TROUBLED OLDER BOY AT HIS LOW END FATHER'S PLACE. THE COUPLE STAYED TOGETHER FOR 7 YRS "OFF AND ON" AS THE MAN WENT BACK TO HER BELEIVING HE COULD TURN THINGS AROUND AND MAKE THE RELATIONSHIP WORK (SOMETHING MANY WOMEN HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, ONLY THIS TIME IT IS THE MALE).
Sleep, More so not sleeping, fear, guilt, shame, anger and hate. Those seemed at one time to be Me, but Why do I not seem to be able to do what it takes to stay right in any given situation?, Why am I denying Myself and others?, Guess I won't know. Promises, Promises I made and betrayed. Every time I awake, My heart beats and My mind races relentlessly raging with thoughts of revenge and fear. Somewhat lost but hoping like right now, slowly making it right hopefully, Why do We break promises, Why is the darkness increasing?. Can't erase memories. Comment if You can relate.
Low Self Esteem, Insecurity, Fear. Also let me see if i can word this correctly for example. If two people were Married for say 20 years. Than get Divorced would you say i wish i never met that person??? No you wouldn't because you make choices in the moment and what feels right at the time.Even If you were able to look into the future and know that in 20 years you would be divorced you would still marry that person. None of us would be really living if we lived in Fear of what might happen in the future. It's always easy but pointless to look back and so i wish i hadn't done that but at that time more than likely it was the right choice. I have a tendancy to ramble so i hope i may have made some points. LOL Promises are always made in the moment When the moment is gone, So Is the Promise
on album there is a backwards message when spun backwards it says your ruining your needle i wrote him and told him it ruined the bands on my turntable he wrote me a postcard back and said he was sorry lol seems like a pretty cool dude
@MrSilicon605 HE TRIES IN VAIN TO MAKE THINGS WORK, BUT MAKES THE MISTAKE OF DOING IT ALL BY HIMSELF AND THUS BECOMES DRAINED MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY (ALSO HOW MANY WOMEN HAVE FELT). THE COUPLE, ONCE VERY MUCH IN LOVE, PART, MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE FEMALES INABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD AND AWAY FROM THE BAD MEMORIES/SCARS FROM HER PAST, WHICH THE MAN HAD NONE, YET BELEIVED IN HER ALL THE WHILE. "WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN"...SO THIS SONG IS VERY APPLICABLE TO COUPLES IN ACTUAL LIFE. "THE MAN WAS ME".....
The song is jammed so I can't hear it but I know this promises song is one of the best songs ever made in history cause it always sounds good even if you hear it many times. Why is this video jammed?
@rsaran1288 Where in Calgary did you reside? I've lived all over this City since 1974,,Presently living in Springbank...P/S...We still play street hockey ;-) Bring your stick,some Baileys,,more Baileys and we'll set us a record.....
@MrSilicon605 YES, I STILL LOVE THE GIRL, BUT SOMETIMES ONE JUST HAS TO LET GO AND IT WAS NOT I WHO DID, BUT HER, WITH ALL THE UNPLEASANT PAST. HER LAST WORDS TO ME, "I STILL THINK YOU ARE A GREAT MAN, JUST NOT FOR ME". DENILE IS A TERRIBLE THING.....
SONGS WROTE ARE USUALLY FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, AS MOST VIEWERS HERE ALREADY KNOW. 1986, A GIRL FROM MONTREAL, PQ MOVES TO BC, HAS TO BAD RELATIONSHIPS FOR WHICH 2 CHILDREN ARE CONCEIVED FROM EACH. THE 1ST ONE, 14 YRS OF MENTAL ABUSE, THE 2ND, A DRINKER, A CHILD INSIDE.. THE WOMAN, LIVES ON HER ON AND SLOWLY PULLS HER LIFE TOGETHER AFTER BEING SCARRED BY THE 1 ST MALE; CAREER WAS NOT ON HER MIND BACK THEN BUT BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WAS.
I tried to buy this CD for years, but it was only available in Canada. It's almost as there was some kind of legal restriction, since no other cd on the list had such a restriction. BTW, what is the relationship between Ghost and Sherriff?

Fk it listen on repeat russia 2022 helps a lot need desperately on major streaming
I agree.
I'm so old .............. I remember when bands still played instruments and wrote their own songs
+Dean Poechman The drums here were from a computer, lol.
+Sailordude2012
This album was released in 1987 so the drums in this song were actually created from an analog drum machine and real drum overdubs, not a computer. Awesome arrangements for such an amazing song!
I miss the 80's
Les années 80 me manque trop... :-/
As far as music goes, was there ever a decade like the 80's? Wish i could vanish and return to this favorite decade of mine.
Me too! Now in the covid era the 80’s seem like a quaint bygone ancient history
One of the most emotionally complete songs of the 80s. Gives me goosebumps
This takes me back to the days of my youth. Oh to be back there again.
a song of trying to get a sober gaining soberity losin from the guilt of skipping the commitment from a drink i always liked this song it reminded me of getting sober with a recovering alcohlic I fell head over heels in love with and it didnt end well I will never forget him the lycris

Kick ass song! Canadian 80's bands ruled the world :)
Thanks for the post!
Days Turn to Years, But,in My Heart Time Has Turned Still...🎶💖✨
Gosh I remember this song so well back in 1987 when I was first living in California and was alone.

This song has a refreshing, soothing quality to it, despite the lyrics speaking of guilt and regret. The melody and singing are fantastic.
such a lovely sad song. the ending chorus is my life.
I hear ya and can relate...
"Do you ever feel lonely?"
"Every time I awake."
Beautiful song and the singer has a great voice.
great song! underrated band!
Songs like this weave a special brand of power and magic, a gift that's largely been lost in music making today
what a great song, this song has a soul. This is what I miss about the 80's, bands could write hooks and melody
I have not heard this song in 20-ish years and I can still sing along and remember all the words, which is surprising because I can't even remember the lyrics to songs *I* write! Great to hear this beautiful song again.
Promises are always made in the moment, When the moment is gone so Is the Promise
i still play this, great song...timeless..thx
Most underrated song in rock n roll history!
I love the 80'S thanx
One of my all time favorites as well.....all the way from Houston back to Canada (home) and back (current home). This CD is their BEST!!
Too bad they didn't hit it big state side.
The song brings back nostalgic feelings about a relationship I was once involved with , I wish I could turn back the clock and realize then how wrong I was to treat you so poorly. This song reflects my sentiments still to this day
Same ... Deep Regret.
Life goes on despite each layer of an onion is peeled off
So many great Canadian Hits with emotions in every line.
Never heard of them before weirdly enough till today when my Canadian pal posted this. Excellent.
miss the great music of the eighties
still chilling ..!
Hope that FROZEN GHOST will resurrect and Tour with a new Album...
INCREDIBLE BAND that is #deserving of acknowledgement and Listening To...
Such #Impressive Songs!!!
This is such a hauntingly beautiful song!!
The end of the video shows us life's irony
This is 2022. Memories flood back to me.
Ese Álbum me lo regaló mi viejita en esos años ´80, lo llevo en mi corazón.
Wolf Hassel...the best name in Rock ever. And he really puts alot of flourish into playing that bass.
One of my favorite all time favorite songs.
Timeless.
Love their first CD.
O ma god, had this song way back in the 90s recorded from a friend in a cassette tape, my friend was a proud owner of hundreds of cassettes of AOR/melodic rock which his uncle sent from settled in Toronto, Canada....Here in India, it's a rare scene actually for this kind of music that time and even now.

I love this song, brings back so many good memories.
wow .. I sooooo remember this great song!
He's a great singer...plus the song holds up very well.
@wrxmike123 Used to live in NE in Rundle, Temple, Whitehorn before moving to the US. Just visited family and friends there in June-July of this year. Had a great time, but didn't play much hockey. Thanks for invite, though!
A ghostly eery feeling
captures the knight's song.
A mistress beckons me into the dark.
She ties her hooks to me.
Hook,line & captured by her spell..
Love this song! Thank you
great band, miss the great canadian bands
The sngs, production and sounds are supurb - Arnie is a real genius - his sound and sonwriting are top notch. This is the SAME guy who made Our Lady Peace sound so damn good!
Terrific song. thanks for bringing back college memories.
Great Song!!! Thanks for upload.
I love this group!!
Never will be music like this again
PROMISES of Frozen Ghots, a beautiful song!!!
Great album and great band
I can relate to this song very well because a piece of my heart breaks a part every time I awake!
Ausome song..powerhouse. Those were the days . Cha.
I miss the days when writing a song was an exercise in heart-felt expression
Just don't hear music this good and this well written. Everything is now designed by a board meeting in some building somewhere.
Thank you snerp. Much appreciated.
I’ve belted out this track many many times since its release. I got older and after a long distance relationship that couldn’t work out... found myself at the middle of this song. Hits me hard.
This song reminds me of a love a long time ago. If I could relive my past I tell you...my future would be much better!!
Agreed.."We Run"is a great song. Strange Advance did not last long, but they left behind a couple of classic songs.
Wow this was the third video I ever shot , directed by Kari Skogland. Lots of smoke, soft focus filters and power zoom.
Great memories!!
uncie Ralphie You guys should have gone further!!! love it
Roly Brooks
Hermosa canción, una joya.
Great Song :))
arnold lanni (vocals) and wolf hassle (bass) were both in sherrif the rest of sherrif went on to form alias when the sherrif album got hot years after its original release a briant move by lanni to buy the song rights back after the album originally stiffed made him some serious cash lanni now produces albumms for our lady peace and finger 11
I'm mot a writer nor a musician, but how can the mix of these two arts can afflict so much listeners ?

Arnold David Lanni is the dude referred to ...and he's brilliant indeed...
Power house song,,,!,
Nice slow ballad but rare, he's sounded really good with the one .., is the one taken from movie soundtrack?
❤️👍.
Wonder who the female vocalist is at the end of the song ???
Sleep, More so not sleeping, fear, guilt, shame, anger and hate.

Promises are always made in the moment
When the moment is gone, So Is the Promise
Still listening in 2137!!!🎉
Probably Canada’s most under rated band
Played this song on a date, she didn't like it, one and done.
LOL Sorry i shouldn't laugh but why did you play this song on a Date ????
She didnt like Frozen Ghost its time to hit the road bitch!!
I played that song at my wedding. I don't think they did, but you never know...
on album there is a backwards message when spun backwards it says your ruining your needle i wrote him and told him it ruined the bands on my turntable he wrote me a postcard back and said he was sorry lol seems like a pretty cool dude

"THE MAN WAS ME".....
Its called well composed, dont see that anymore
The song is jammed so I can't hear it but I know this promises song is one of the best songs ever made in history cause it always sounds good even if you hear it many times.
Why is this video jammed?
Try limewire.... i "transfer" an audiotape to cd, several years ago... no "clear" quality but, sounds ok, anyway...
@rsaran1288 Where in Calgary did you reside? I've lived all over this City since 1974,,Presently living in Springbank...P/S...We still play street hockey ;-) Bring your stick,some Baileys,,more Baileys and we'll set us a record.....
did they ever make a video for Dreams Come True?
yes they did it's a nice video
@MrSilicon605 YES, I STILL LOVE THE GIRL, BUT SOMETIMES ONE JUST HAS TO LET GO AND IT WAS NOT I WHO DID, BUT HER, WITH ALL THE UNPLEASANT PAST.
HER LAST WORDS TO ME, "I STILL THINK YOU ARE A GREAT MAN, JUST NOT FOR ME".
DENILE IS A TERRIBLE THING.....
Can anyone see Star Lord and Gamora doing a duet cover of this song at karaoke night?
SONGS WROTE ARE USUALLY FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, AS MOST VIEWERS HERE ALREADY KNOW.
1986, A GIRL FROM MONTREAL, PQ MOVES TO BC, HAS TO BAD RELATIONSHIPS FOR WHICH 2 CHILDREN ARE CONCEIVED FROM EACH. THE 1ST ONE, 14 YRS OF MENTAL ABUSE, THE 2ND, A DRINKER, A CHILD INSIDE..

BTW, what is the relationship between Ghost and Sherriff?
when sheriff split the other three formed Alias, Wolf Hassel and Arnold Lanni formed Ghost. I Have All Three of their cd's
Such a sense of melody...ironic Arnold has gone on to successfully produce some hard rock/alternative bands.
Luv Frozen Ghost, though
