Lisa Hannigan - Your Ghost

Lisa live at the spirit Store Dundalk.
"Your Ghost" written by Kristen Hersh

If I walk down this hallway
Tonight, it's too quiet
So I pad through the dark
And call you on the phone
Push your old numbers
And let your house ring
Till I wake your ghost

Let him walk down your hallway
It's too quiet
Slide down your receiver
Sprint across the wire
Follow my number
Slide into my hand

It's the blaze across my nightgown
It's the phone's ring
I think last night
You were driving circles around me
I think last night
You were driving circles around me
I think last night
You were driving circles around me

I can't drink this coffee
Till I put you in my closet
Let him shoot me down
Let him call me off
I take it from his whisper
You're not that tough

It's the blaze across my nightgown
It's the phone's ring
You were in my dream
You were driving circles around me
You were in my dream
You were driving circles around me
You were in my dream
You were driving circles around me
I think last night
You were driving circles around me
I think last night
You were driving circles around me

On nooo one of my favourites murdered, like something from a school concert clattering posts and pans, a guy on trumpet who can't get a note aaahhh, Hannigan overdoing the pathos, and what's with the Huckleberry Finn outfits ?! Please listen to Hersh's original recording with Stipe before you pass comment on this aural travesty.

Well we’re all entitled to an opinion, and yours is as valid as any. I just like Lisa.

[Khairabar]

sounds like a cart full of broken kettles being pulled across a cobble-stoned square at midnight... Come back miaowing cats all is forgiven.

[gramach]

Your a poet, and you dont know it!!!!!!!!!!

[rodozores]

Lisa and banjo.

Awesome!!!

[gramach]

She is multitalented, singing, guitar, and banjo. But the rest of the band is equally talented, Thanks for the comment.

Pretty bad??? Trumpet doesn't belong? Kristin Hersch better? Geesh. What a bunch of tone deaf clowns. This rendition by Lisa smokes them all. She is sooo great at all she does. Rice is probably still crying about letting her go.

[stutaggart]

WOW...spooky and amazing

[MobiusBandwidth]

not a bad cover, the timing seems a little rushed at times though.

[kuskuss63]

Not the same without Michael Stipes amazing voice doing backing vocals.

@gramach

shes not even limited to that.. she can play mandolin, ukelele, piano, and percussion instruments as well. who knows what the heck else

[April1442]

The trumpet player may have sped it up a bit but regardless, I still have this song stuck in my head and think it still as a great rendition of this song, thanks to Lisa.

@Zarkenfrewdd Hope that doesn't imply you mean to kidnap her or something? Okay perhaps "aural travesty" was a slight exaggeration but refered primarily to the trumpet player, who, even with my head buried in my own arse, I could still hear murdering notes. Listen to the Hersh/Stipe version, how can you suggest Hannigan's hippy dippy cover possesses any of the emotional intensity of the original?
