Your Ghost Lyric - Handwritten by Kristin Hersh (Rescued Misprint)

🎨 One of a Kind Rescued Misprint - Only from ElRat Designs

*MISPRINT RESCUE* - I have no idea why I deemed this a misprint, when I look at it now I can't see why, but the ghost lyrics live on! Please check the photo's, this is the actual shirt you are buying. These rescued misprints have had an imperfect journey to get to where they are, but they are beautiful and unique, just like all of us.

you were driving circles

🎵 A crazy idea in my head...

I had always had this idea about lyrics handwritten by Kristin Hersh, initially, because I really wanted some lyrics as a tattoo, but I couldn't shake the idea that they needed to be in her beautifully illegible hieroglyphs and it occurred to me that if I wanted this, maybe other people did too. I'm still a little blown away that she actually said yes. So this thing that started as a crazy idea in my head, finally came out into the world... and it really has been a beautiful thing.🖤

🎨 Custom Shirts and Standard Prints

So in April 2024, it actually happened. That was when we did the first ever custom lyric shirt event, and while we were doing that, I thought we should do some standard prints that would be available for everybody, and because I really can't be trusted to choose the lyrics, I asked people what they wanted. Hersh was kind enough to write a few lyric options for us, and this was what you all wanted most. These aren't just lyrics, they're Kristin Hersh's actual handwriting, inspired in my mind I guess by the original handwritten classic Throwing Muses 1986 logo. These lyrics were written by The One Hersh exclusively for ElRat Designs to bring you these handwritten lyric shirt. Funny thing, in all the stress and anxiety of getting everything ready and delivering lyrics to KH, I entirely forgot to ask for anything for myself, so I didn't get that tattoo until we did those custom shirts again in May 2025. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs.
