Spoon's The Ghost of You Lingers

[AreYouSayingPow1]

this song is so dope

[AreYouSayingPow1]

this song is so dope

[omgbetch]

This video is terrifying. That said, there are times in my life when I have to listen to this song over and over and over and over. Times when I'm split, broken and bleeding, like wounded fruit and diseased pianos.

[fallintotheabyss]

@omgbetch "Wounded fruit and diseased pianos"? I can tell if that's gibberish or something deeply meaningful, explain please

[omgbetch]

@fallintotheabyss Have you watched the video? There's something terribly wrong with that piano and, for whatever reason, the fruit requires stitches. As for a deeper meaning, well, I could only speculate that it's something very bad.... and maybe a touch of gibberish.

[d28taypres]

This is where the album name Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga comes from. . . Quick fact

[mortalkonlaw]

@d28taypres ?

[d28taypres]

@mortalkonlaw Well, the band members said that the piano sounded like Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga to them, hence the album name

[mortalkonlaw]

@d28taypres Gotcha. Guess that makes sense. Saw some "wtf do songs mean" page that claimed this is about drug addiction, which I think is a legitimate interpretation (all the stuff about sleep, "you know that I need some," etc.).

[Iownu324]

This song sounds like Trent Reznor had a baby with M83 and made a Spoon song

[arlequinglass]

if this band would spoon with me i'd be the little spoon :)

[wednesday181]

Heh, I can see those same transmission towers off my apartment balcony out here in Austin. Almost as dreamy in real life, especially when sitting out there, listening to Spoon, and enjoying a drink on a cloudy winter evening just after sunset...

[vampirewaterfall]

wow my favorite band definetly

[polykuromu]

just brilliant. to me it's always sounded like a loud song in a quiet room. has anybody seen this performed live? i'm terribly curious as to how britt's vocals sound and how they're done, if they're even done in overlays or loops at all.

[JustMe8485]

this has got to be one of the greatest songs ever. i can't even think of anything that sounds like this...can't get it out of my head. and only spoon could do this. love them.

[stayoncue]

every time i hear this song, i find myself saying 'ga ga ga ga ga ga' along with the piano. that same piano would have absolutely owned the song had the vocals not had the complex overlaying echos britt provides. this song is pure genius.

[ndhudecz]

This sounds like crap

[Squarecatcomics]

Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!

[TheBKBroila]

i have no idea whatsoever why i got this cd, but i randomly listened to his pure genius of music and was instantly got that fuzzy feeling when you listen to good music. now on to this entire album on my badass stereo system.

[sunnythomson]

So beautiful and soothing. Makes me miss my Booful even more than ever

[raziel2222]

perfect.

[liqwidmud]

its hard to capture what spoon has captured here! man is freaking aweeeeeesssssooooommmmmmmeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[rejectedchik89]

@liqwidmud I agree. For me I feel like they captured heartache, memories, and a dreamish, ghost like feeling.

[SuperV4vendetta]

Great song.

Just recently discovered spoon. Very good band.

[lacrossegirlbucket]

Love this song! Had my iPod on shuffle and ididnt know I had this song thought it was one of my 80's music! Lol :)

[Coeleomic08]

I really used to hate this song, until I loved it.

[blugtar87]

@Coeleomic08 lol nice

[tzeqin]

I dreamt Riochard Linklater tried to trap us with angry tentacles made up of this song.

[GreenShoes13]

is this on Ga Ga Ga repeating decimal

[JansterBanana]

I love this video.

[snoutout]

holy shit good you know?

[EltomeiroJackson]

beautiful image of the piano on some liquid

[RossTheHick]

This song was in my dream last night... i guess i've been listening to spoon too much. Awesome song.

[Kmartshopper34]

@RossTheHick you can never listen to Spoon too much

[krystensarah]

@Kmartshopper34 truest statement.

[RossTheHick]

@Kmartshopper34 Well said. Also, you have quite the username.

[13lackfriday]

@RossTheHick too much is just enough.

[vanylaskyye]

Rated "Awesome"

My new fav song!!

[cqsallie]

@vanylaskyye My favorite Spoon song. Weirdly wonderful....

[gurcuppycake94]

: ] most amazing song!

[VivaLaUndead]

listen to "The Ghostface of you Lingers" mix by The Hood Internet. This song sounds so good with a beat

[fouxdafafa92]

I can't find that D:

Link?

Please :] Ta.

[juliov23]

I was wondering when someone would mention it.

[falfal93]

in every passing moment

u fade a little farther

[Noleta1]

I totally swear I' m hearing Alex Turner in here as well.

[alsaveyou]

samesies

[hacelepues]

I was about to thank you for agreeing with me and making me feel less crazy, but then I read your username and realized that is was you. lol

[hacelepues]

Does Alex Turner sing in this with them???

[fouxdafafa92]

Are you serious?!

[hacelepues]

I'm not sure. haha that's what I'm trying to figure out!!! it sounds like it

[herroitsuba]

omg. your username is a reference to FOTC.

i love it and/or you.

[ao0330]

I could listen to this song all day! :]]]]

[rejectedchik89]

this song/video is kind of like dreaming...

[ivanovash]

this song is amazing and... addictive

[time2pretend09]

i want ot eat that it looks so good

[Wacktose]

Fantastic track off of a fantastic album.

[fearthehobbits]

Amazing song if you have a sweet sound system.

[vnemana]

is this the official music video?

[JamalDOA]

doesnt sound like MCR.

[rejectedchik89]

lol i think you're looking for "ghost of you"

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

this song gives me shivers... but in a good way ^^

[SieglindeMoos]

the only trouble is, they don't know how to develope a song. But really cool ideas.

[brenfen]

I'd have to disagree to be honest. The way they develop their songs is subtle and understated. I think that's why they're so great. Nothing sounds contrived or unneccessarily complicated. The songs are so good fundamentally that they don't need to be developed in a major way. Sorry if that makes seem a bit self-important, just my opinion! Great band.

[strato01844]

This reminds me waaaay too much of "Walking the Cow" by Daniel Johnston

[peppermocha73]

creates sweet memories

[wunderbrothers]

too bad this is a mono recording. the original stereo is so much better.

[wednesday181]

I adore this song so much. Very cool thing (to me, at least) - at about the 2:45 mark, the red blinking cell towers are the same that are seen every day off my apartment balcony out here in west Austin! Woohoo Austin! :D

[shonmixen95]

thaks for sharing.... this song realy opened my up to who i realy am. i thabk u again

[kozhedub]

ssariesen is right it comes out different lol its a good song

[ssariesen]

listen to the song on tehir website or the album , it is much better. Much different feeling

[vanessarob1]

i love it

[BatmanFanGirl]

Interesting video, reminds me of evp. Or maybe that's just 'cus of the title. heh

[TheCrippledSilence]

I thought that too, and i wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional, especially with the feedback towards the end.

[lucknh]

masterpiece

[lucknh]

a po polsku odjebane w kosmos :D

[onenineightseven]

też mi się podoba bardzo :)

[OmgSuiseiseki]

It's a very weak song, but it somehow throws it together, like Spoon always seems to do.

[drnkmunk]

Anything after "kill the moonlight" and "girls can tell" those two got me hooked

[bankz316]

Sic vid

[07kje07]

awesome

[brandon19messi]

this song is awesome. any suggestions to other good spoon songs cuz im kinda new at spoon?

[Khantusion]

the way we get by

[SireMute]

the underdog... but this song is really great.. and i got to know spoon since 2 days ^^

[xkhangod108]

Good Spoon Song I Summon You I Turn My Camera On Don't Make Me A Target Don't You Ever Sister Jack Chicago At Night The Fitted Shirt Take The Fifth Basicly Listen To These Albums Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Gimme Fiction Girls Can TellKill The MoonlightLove Ways (EP)

[teoferrazzi]

you forget A series of sneaks!

[xkhangod108]

I Didn't Forget It, Its Just Not One Of My Favorite, Cause they were Still Kinda In There Punk Phase

[peaceric]

that song car radio was pretty cool though

[ginblossom767]

i think jealousy is a good one by them.

enjoy spoon!

[Snozzy101]

Also Small Stakes. If you like Ghost, you'll like this one

[jin12345678]

kinda reminds me of radiohead's videotape.

[walkinjingle]

I agree....good call.

[lrobertson]

Piano part reminds me of "I just died in your arms tonight." Kinda.

[Spysheep]

totally! i always think that

[RedceLL1978]

Man, i dig this, but i was waiting for a nice strong drum beat to kick in the whole time...

[evryusernamistakn]

me 2 but i still luv this song anyway

[mardybums]

sound! both r great, song & video, and i really like the images in the video and such they did acomplish some sort of theme: spooky-feely-kewl!

[shinytoyguns009]

really amazing song and video

[paulinasamsel]

cudowne cudowne i jeszcze raz cuuuuudo

[thepanamahat]

Yes you can. And you can call it fantastic. ;-)

[revlets]

Worst song I've heard in a while. I like spoon too. :/

[fantasygurudotcom]

I like it. And can we really call this a "song"?

[jtno2]

If people can call rap 'music' then we can call this a 'song'. I like it too. It's different and beautiful.

[beauner123456]

Horrible music, undescribably bland and boring. Just like "I turn my camera on" there is the background sound that doesn't change. Kind of like the bad drumming in every ac/dc song. Why don't people put more time into their music and not making artsy videos that nobody is gonna remember or care about anyways. Fuck Spoon

[301gene]

I'm agree with your opinion on this song, but I'm not quite agree with what you're saying about Spoon. They've got great songs - listen to "Kill the Moonlight", for example: "Back to the Life", "The Way We Get By", "Stay Don't Go" are great records and I didn't mention stuff from "Gimme Fiction". These are my favourite albums. I think they move music.

[iamlameduck]

i think their best stuff is their early stuff, girls can tell and a series of sneaks. also, i saw them on saturday and this was probably the most powerful song they played out of all 21 they had on the set. it was absolutely incredible, and i love nearly everything they've put out, including soft effects, love ways and telephono.

[0Flow0]

And now they have another new video! I'm so slow in getting the information... Very interesting video. And I LOVE the song. I wish they'd make a video for 'You got yr. cherry bomb' but I guess there's going to be only the two from Ga ga ga ga ga.

[CutterSk]

Actually, this was out even before the underdog, wasn't even properly released as a single I think, just a promo vid.

[thepanamahat]

one of the best bands in the world.

fantastic video

[bilelulabula]

amazing video

[Pommedemer]

Le morceau c'est genial...et aussi le videò ou debut.

Il pezzo è bellissimo..e anche il video all'inizio ma poi qualcosa non mi piace più.

La cancion està padrissima..me gusta como empieza el video

[theteahead]

so sad song..

[jpeezy316]

incredible

[TagoMago77]

really cool song

[walkmenbandlover]

before he says Come On!, is the point i have a big musical orgasm. the reverb and piano effects in that one particular part is amazing.

[matthewerickson]

No way, I think this video is great. It's kinda like the Radiohead vidie for "Pyramid Song"-ambient, slow moving, colors of the song. It definitely kept my attention.

[simontempleman]

awesome. the vid is cool.

[alive387]

dopetastic

[davividly]

seriously doubt this is the official video. nice art film though.

[Dlisrej]

Great band,very underrated can't wait to see them in Oct.

[widnestilidie]

Masterpiece.

[Hickboy]

is this the official video? doesn't seem like one

[sapote44]

I wouldn't mind if he was...Heh, I get off everytime he sings "Come on"! It looks like the piano is bleeding- yes, I've heard it is supposed to be chocolate or something, but honestly, some of the imagery wouldn't be out of place in a horror movie.

[Ninjacow7]

Great song, horrible vid

[theraindrops46]

it's like paper tiger... only maybe better...

[TheVariable]

I'm pretty excited for this album. It's about time Spoon gets the recognition they deserve.

[mcorcoran80]

very interesting, i'm glad britt isn't crawling on the floor naked.

[gramboh]

Typical Corcoran comment.
