Ghost is a special track that lets you view your past self and the way they functioned around an old flame as Chase The River, aka Stuart, holds your hand through it. The track is a collaboration between Stuart and Lauren White. Together, they bring up a concoction of fresh emotions that you thought you had forgotten. You taste layers and layers of experiences that you had buried away, which truly puts a smile on your face.Â
Ghost is an alternative Rock experience that dances between the lines of rock and post-brit-pop. The instrumental sensibility that ebbs and flows adds a sense of movement externally in the music and within the body as well. In a way, his voice helps connect the inside to the outside. There is an immense amount of tenderness that is brought in by the vocals. This adds to the effect of almost holding and helping the past self through a breakup. Lauren’s voice has a constant presence in the track, even when she isn’t singing, you can feel her presence. It feels as though the duo are playing vocal contact improv, showing us their chemistry on full display.
The perfect film for this is Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. The film is incredibly nuanced, edgy (in a good way) and not to mention hilarious. Ghost feels like the perfect song to end the memory with Jenny (Jennifer Garner). Especially because she was his first and only love. Clearly, the song is all-encompassing. The track is bittersweet in the best way possible, it holds you, comforts you and it moves you all at once.
