The Joliet singer-songwriter imagines what might happen if, for just one day, nothing—not even walls, borders or gravity—could get in the way.
JOLIET, Ill., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Independent singer-songwriter Rich Anthony will release his new single "If I Were a Ghost" on September 18, 2026, offering a playful and imaginative take on the traditional Halloween song.
Instead of treating ghosts as something frightening, Anthony poses a different question: What would you do if you could be a ghost for just one day?
The answer becomes a musical adventure filled with humor, freedom, travel and a little harmless mischief. The lyrics imagine floating out a window, passing through walls, traveling the world without passports or plane tickets, soaring beneath the Northern Lights and even spending time with a beloved ghost dog.
But beneath the humor are moments of reflection about memory, feeling and what parts of ourselves might remain even if everything else changed.
"I wrote this song hoping listeners of all ages, from children to adults, would find something in it that appeals to them," Anthony says. "From silly lines like 'I'd hang with bats, nap in a bell' to more serious thoughts like 'Would I still feel the sunset's glow? Would memories follow wherever I go?' I think different listeners will find their own favorite line."
Written by Anthony, "If I Were a Ghost" combines Halloween imagery with a sense of curiosity and adventure, making it suitable for seasonal playlists without relying on the darker or scarier themes often associated with Halloween music.
The recording features live instrumentation recorded by Colin Schlegel, with Anthony's vocals recorded by Brandon Harvey. The track was mixed and mastered by Dan Vasquez.
"If I Were a Ghost" will be available beginning September 18, 2026, on Spotify, Apple Music and other major streaming platforms.
