Ghost Caravan is a group of collaborators lead by Shaina Silver-Baird. Her “ghosts” are what inform the music that she writes. Whether they are the ghosts of specific people, the ghosts of past loves or the ghosts of experience, this caravan of ghosts is the origin of her songs. “My music is still about dark places, but I focus on finding the light, the moment when you realize your own strength and ability to move forward. I want to be proud to share my songs with young women. There are so many voices in the world telling women how to think and feel about themselves. I want to be the voice that celebrates women. I want to empower and uplift people.”
The music itself is orchestral soultronica. On her album T.O. Confidential, Shaina Silver-Baird collaborated with members of the Weeknd, Grand Analog, Hill Kourkoutis of the Launch, Martha and the Muffins, the Four On The Floor String Quartet and many others. “There were so many amazing artists who collaborated on this project. It felt like a whole village came together to make this record and I’m so grateful to that community. I love creating music with other people. The end result is so much better because of the many points of view, different opinions and experiences that are woven into each song.”

about
I initially wrote the lyrics to this song in trying to come to terms with my thoughts and feelings towards disturbing allegations of sexual assault close to home in the entertainment industry in Toronto. It seems just as timely to be releasing these thoughts to the world now. It’s been made very clear that while we’ve made positive strides in the #metoo and #timesup movements there is a lot of work to do; a lot to fight for and we have to stay vigilant. What I’m saying with this song is #IBelieveHer, I stand behind my sisters and I believe we can find equality!
- Shaina Silver-Baird
lyrics
Time’s up,
Tired of the silence
I’m so,
Sick of the violence
Oh, oh, please
I believe in your struggle
I believe in your dreams
I believe we can do better, can do anything
I believe in my sisters
I believe in drawing lines
You can believe we are coming, cause it’s time, time, time
Here we stand and we won’t leave empty handed
Our voices loud and clear
Cause we’re at the end of our patience, our patience
Now we’re here, we’re here, we’re here
Time’s up,
Tired of the silence
I’m so,
Sick of the violence
Oh, oh, please
Ya we know we’re gonna break through
Just follow our lead
And we know can’t close our eyes now
Can’t say that we can’t see
Here we stand and we won’t leave empty handed
Our voices loud and clear
Cause we’re at the end of our patience, our patience
Now we’re here, we’re here, we’re here
Time’s up,
Tired of the silence
I’m so,
Sick of the violence
Oh, oh, please
