Ghosts

We all have them, that certain person or place that becomes forever etched in your memory. Whether it's hauntingly beautiful, or scares the living daylight out of you; you carry this person, place, or thing wherever you go.

Today, whilst listening to my current favorite music blog, The Hype Machine, the song Ghost Town by the band First Aid Kit came on. In that instant I was captured. The folk/airy sound of the guitar, the hauntingly beautiful voice of the lead singers, sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg, and the lyrics all hit so close to home. So to all of you with ghosts, this one's for you...

"Ghost Town" Lyrics
All of these ghost towns I keep travelling through
All of these traffic signs and lonesome bars blind the view
I swear I can be better
I could be more to you
But there are things that line my path
That I just had to do

If you've got visions of the past
Let them follow you down
They'll come back to you some day
And I found myself attached to this railroad track
But I'll come back to you some day
To you
To you
To you
Some day

And I remember how you told me all that you wanted to do
That dream of Paris in the morning or a New York window view
I can see it now you're married and your wife is with a child
And you're all laughing in the garden and I'm lost somewhere in your mind

If you've got visions of the past
Let them follow you down
They'll come back to you some day
And I found myself attached to this railroad track
But I'll come back to you some day
To you
To you
To you
Some day

Maybe I should just turn around
Walk away
For no matter how much I really do want to stay
You know I can't, you know it's too late

For I've found myself attached to this railroad track
I'll come back to you some day
To you
To you
To you
Someday
