Ghost of You is a fascinating song for many reasons, but mainly because it seems to create rock-style drive and energy out of coiled indie intricacies and pull pop propulsion out of folk-rock sonics. It is a reminder that you don’t have to rely on bombast and bravado to make an impact; in fact, it is better if you don’t and instead weave a more interesting musical web.
Add to that a set of personal and relatable lyrics about relationships past and future potential, lyrics that we can all relate to, and you have the perfect mainstream song for the modern age. Smart yet accessible, big AND clever.
