Info for Dear Youth

The Ghost Inside's new album Dear Youth is out today via Epitaph Records. Dear Youth is The Ghost Inside's fourth full-length album and it was co-produced by Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember and Andrew Wade. Dear Youth is available now at all major retailers and online.

Front man Jonathan Vigil explains the concept behind the album in a letter that he wrote to his younger self:

Dear Youth, I'm writing to you now because it seems I’ve lost my way. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, but I know that it’s not like it was before. I’ve realized the more time that passes, the more we lose touch. It’s starting to feel like all I ever do now is lose touch with things. But not you, I never wanted to lose you.

I wish I had something to blame it all on, but I don’t. One day I was there and the next I was here. As if I was dreaming and suddenly woken up. These days I'm always wondering if what I've done is enough. It’s getting harder and harder for me to shake this feeling of stagnance.

So old friend I’m writing to ask you what it feels like to have the whole world in your hand? Where we could set out and do anything that we imagined. Endless possibilities way before complacence set in. To be honest with you, I’ve forgotten what that all feels like. There was a wonder about us that has long since faded. That sense of excitement, I miss it.

Dear youth, will you show me again? I need to be reminded of those times, back before this began...
