Extraordinary lyrics.
I saw your father in the hall
His ghost is living in the walls
I heard him crying while you slept
I heard him breaking things after you left
I watched you crawl into my bed
With curses spilling from your head
You said "We're just the walking dead"
So I pulled the trigger and we floated off
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Up in the air
We're in the air
Up in the air
Up in the air
I used to worry about the time
That I lost my teeth along the line
So I carved the apple from my eye
And gave it to you before I went away
Blood ran into the kitchen sink
Your hand and lives are running pink
I sat and watched you as your ring
Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor
They cut your eyes wide open
And bore into your precious head
My reach don't go that far dear
But please oh please don't let them in
I sank into the sea
Wrapped in piano strings
Few words could open me
But you knew them all
Now I just sleep beneath your floor
My ghost just tries to keep you warm
I've seen the end, I've lost the war
One day you'll join me here just like the rest
I hear the engines
They're roaring in our mouths
The smell of creatures
Are clawing tooth and nail to get out
I see the airplanes
They're pouring from your chest
They fill the air
And burn and bury you just like the rest
Thank you sir.
Ben you're like 5 steps above the rest man!!!! Your music changes my life daily, thanks bro.
I can honestly say this is the only artist that I can listen to acoustic. Love this!
so amazing.. The drummer's mustache may be the best part
I have no words for how amazing this video is 🖤. I love this song.
Like someone below said, his vocal ability is actually pretty mediocre (compared to his fantastic songwriting), but for me I think it suits his songs. Everything is very down to earth.
I've been really trying to figure out what the lyrics ment before I saw this video, and I guess it's about a man who committed suicide and has to watch his wife deal with the loss, since that's what the writer said now.
But I always thought it was about a depressed man with his wife whose dad died. They lived together, and one day the wife's in a really sad mood because her dad died, and eventually says "we're just the walking dead" or "life has no meaning". The husband doesn't hesitate and commits a dubble suicide with her. The man's one is successful, but the woman survives because she realizes she doesn't want to die. The man feels guilty about forcing her into a suicide, and gets stuck in limbo because he has unfinished business, a.k.a. strings of passion still attached to something in the living world, a.k.a. he's stuck in piano strings. The wife then lives a full life after their attempted suicide and the man waits for her.
Although it's not the real story, I like it more than the old one...
Un capolavoro
Thank you for this video. Brilliant music. Got all teary once because of this song.
This deserves more credit than it gets
my dad smoked Lexington for years.
Oh my gosh, that smile after he gets the guitar part right at 2:05.. :D
such a beautiful songwriter. Ghost is by far one of the greatest albums, ever. Ever.
I die every time, so amazing!
This feels like a jumping off point for his trilogy. Similar themes.
If I were making a mix cd I'd go with the album version of this song, but this live performance has a unique beauty to it. Big fan.
Actually, this may be related...
Not saying that fame (or desire for fame) changes people, but hey, he's not trying to please everyone, and that's always gold!
Beautiful!
Is this the same Jeremiah in mothers basement? If so, he looks a lot different
That is quite the difference between when he's talking and when he's singing.
this is so amazing! this song is my favorite song to listen to and i don't think i could ever get tired of it :)
great
He is the best artist in this world and only 1326 views?
Does anyone know the name of the instrument the guy on the right is playing? Is it a kind of accordion?
It's called a melodica I think
