My two favorite "ghost songs" come from two of my fave bands, each of whom occupy far different spots on the wide genre spectrum: "The Ghost at Number One" by Jellyfish (1993): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgKjC2V4xfk
and, "Home By the Sea" by Genesis (1983), about a haunted mansion "overlooking a foreboding sea," as Phil introduces it in concerts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgKjC2V4xfk
The first one that came into my head (instantly) was The Ghost In You by The Psychedelic Furs. This was also the first time that I visualized what a psychedelic fur would look like.
Honestly, it was the first one in my head too. How had I never even visualized a psychedelic fur before? I wonder if I can do that without my brain veering to the gutter.
New Order- Love Vigilantes
Of Monsters and Mem- Little Talks
The Specials- Ghost Town
Swearin'- Grow Into A Ghost
Psychedelic Furs- The Ghost In You
These are really good, man. Forgot that OMAM track.
Liked for Psych Furs
The Of Monsters and Men song was the first one that came to my mind!
"Spirits in the Material World" The Police, from the LP Ghost in the Machine
Double points, Mike!
Ghosts That We Knew - Mumford and Sons
Love Like Ghosts - Lord Huron
Ghost Towns - Radical Face
Nice. I dig that Lord Huron tune. Thanks for being here, Demi. Great to have you. Cheers.
Cheers, Matty! Happy New Year! :)
Under Your Thumb - Godley and Crème
Ghosts of Cable Street - The Men They Couldn’t Hang
I had forgotten about The Men They Couldn't Hang. Nice pull, Lou.
I’m continually amazed that anyone else has even heard of them 😂
Tom Waits....Big Joe and Phantom 309
Oh I how I love a Tom Waits suggestion. Nicely done, sir.

Nice picks, Brad. Jellyfish are such a good band. So overlooked.
love that genesis song
Paris 1919 by John Cale
Ghost of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen
Hell yes, Sanman!

Great to have you here, my friend.
The Mekons - Only You and Your Ghost Will Know
Nice to see the Mekons getting some love.
I write supernatural fiction, so obviously I believe in them.
Phantom Writer- Gary Wright
Nice! Thanks for being here, David.
I have to confess that I love Ghostbusters (the movie and the song). Fun and very danceable, which we need in 2025.
song: Neutral Milk Hotel - "Ghost"
album: Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I - IV
“Caleb Meyer” by Gillian Welch and “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” by Warren Zevon.
"Ghost" by Indigo Girls; "Ghost Town Blues" by Social Distortion; "Ghost of a Rose" by Blackmore's Night; and "Ghost of a Chance" by Rush.
The last doesn't quite fit the theme, but ... it's Rush, and I'm me, so ... 🤷
"The Ride," by David Allan Coe
