Are you longing for the good old days when life felt a little simpler and the world moved at a slower pace? Ghosts of a Simpler Time, a new single by Luanne Hunt, might just be the perfect soundtrack for your trip down memory lane. Released July 29th, 2024, this heartfelt ballad by the multi-award-winning country folk singer-songwriter invites listeners to reminisce about the golden days of America’s past.

Available now on all major streaming platforms, Ghosts of a Simpler Time is more than just a song—it’s a journey back to a time when backyard barbecues, little league games, and summer nights filled with fireworks were the norm. Luanne Hunt, known for her emotive vocal abilities and compelling storytelling, has crafted a piece that captures the essence of nostalgia in the most beautiful way.

In the opening lines, Hunt paints vivid pictures of cherished memories:

VERSE 1
Backyard barbecues and fireworks
Pride for the Stars and Stripes
Forty-fives and faded jeans
Little league and apple pie

The chorus then captures the collective yearning for those bygone days:

CHORUS
Where is our America
And the golden days we’ve left behind
They came and went way too fast
I get lost in the past
Chasing ghosts of a simpler time

Luanne Hunt Reflects

Ghosts Of A Simpler Time is more than just a song. It’s an anthem for those who miss the familiarity of a world less complicated—where laughter echoed at backyard barbecues, couples fell in love under moonlit skies, and life moved at a slower pace.

This nostalgic track comes hot on the heels of Hunt’s critically acclaimed 2024 album, Miles & Memories, which featured the #1 international Spotify chart hit, The Vice. This new single will also be spotlighted on the Independent Music Network’s Summer Hits program airing this month (August 2024).

Throughout her career, Hunt has consistently resonated with audiences around the world. With over twenty No. 1 hits on various charts, including New Music Weekly, Roots Music Report, and the European Country Music Chart, Hunt has firmly established her place in the music industry. She’s perhaps best known for her chart-topping single, Christmas Without You (also known as Patsy Cline’s Lost Christmas Song), which was named one of the Top 25 Christmas Songs of All Time by Sweden’s largest daily newspaper, Dagens Nyheter.

Hunt’s accolades are numerous. She was inducted into the Independent Superstars Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016, has received six American Songwriting Awards, and has won three CD of the Year awards from the National Traditional Country Music Association (NTCMA). Her journey, which began in the mid-1990s, includes the Grammy-balloted hit Solace in The Wind.

In a world that’s constantly evolving and often feels chaotic, Ghosts of a Simpler Time is a soothing reminder of the moments that have shaped us. Hunt’s ability to evoke these memories through her music is a testament to her enduring talent and connection with her audience.
