Make Believe Friends drops their latest video and single called \u201cHaunt Me\u201d on Friday, June 9, 2023. Mindy Milburn and Laura Espinoza are the primary songwriters of Make Believe Friends (aka Lunden Reign), an alt rock band in Los Angeles, California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWow! The keyboards (in Haunt Me) are appropriately haunting. (Laura\u2019s) guitar part before the chorus is outstanding and it is great to hear (Enrique\u2019s) wah-wah later on. (Michaela\u2019s) chorus harmonies are strong. With Mindy’s voice and the band, I think it is up there with Evanescence! (Also) The video perfectly matches the song \u2026. (Mindy\u2019s) delivery is emotional and gave me chills.\u201d – Warren Kurtz – Goldmine Music Magazine<\/em> About \u201cHaunt Me\u201d (Lyrics by Mindy Milburn)<\/strong>\u201cHaunt Me\u201d is about the loss of a loved one too soon, and in the despair of missing that person, how one might ask to be haunted, to be given a sign or an omen that the person on the other side is somehow still with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Taken far too early, stolen from this life too soon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So suddenly left all alone, I\u2019m nothing without you<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, Haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whisper to me through the trees<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, Haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you do, don\u2019t go quietly<\/em> \u201cHaunt Me\u201d lyrics: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We had only just begun, you should be here with me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I stare at your photo for hours, will you set me free?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Taken far too early, stolen from this life too soon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So suddenly left all alone, I\u2019m nothing without you<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whisper to me through the trees<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you do, don\u2019t go quietly<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Show me that your still here<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Be the static on the screen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill me with light when I\u2019ve gone dark<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The curious phone that rings<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whisper to me, through the trees<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you do, don\u2019t go quietly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So stay with me always <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hold on forever lock and key<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So stay with me always <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hold on forever, never let me be\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n They tell me time will heal<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n That my shattered world will mend<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Her towering tree grows strongest<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Against a storm\u2019s relentless wind<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whisper to me, through the trees<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you do, don\u2019t go quietly<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I believe you\u2019re here with me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t leave me, haunt me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you do, don\u2019t go quietly<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n About Mindy Milburn: <\/strong>Mindy has a passion for all performing arts- starting out as a ballet dancer and actress, & eventually finding her voice and passion for songwriting and music.

The idea came to me when I heard of a tragic loss, a young mother dying during childbirth, and how the husband could go on after suffering such a tremendous loss like this. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, what he would be feeling and how do you cope. It just seemed so impossible to me, but somehow, when tragedy strikes, the world does keep moving on. So this song is an expression of what someone in that situation might be wishing and praying for at all costs- a glimpse of a memory in a dream, a whisper through the trees, a phone that rings suspiciously or sudden static on a screen. Any potential sign to grasp onto to feel comforted that that loved one is still somehow present and nearby, and to never want to let them go.
