Day, Howie - Ghost Lyrics






Lately I've been thinking
Lately I've been dreaming with you
I'm so resistant to this type of thinking
Oh, now it's shining through
I was alone for the last time
Before my night's vacation with you
Alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you

You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please

I know there's little use in crying
It's more wide awake and dying then I'm used to
I thought we'd walk these streets together
Now I'm hoping that I'll never have to meet you
Step aside from all this anger
And somewhere in between I can feel you
Ask me should we try again
I'm thinking no
Y'know, it's not what I believe in
It's not what I believe in

You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please

No I, wanna taste you, love
No I...no I
No I, just wanna taste you, love

Standing in your shoes
I turn and now
You're standing bare in my doorway
I only wish that I had been prepared
I'm gonna have to go along with your way
Just take the plastic camera out
It's the pants you borrowed in the driveway
Alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you

Make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please

No I, wanna taste of love
No I...

I was alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you

Day, Howie Ghost Comments
  1. r.... ....

    Astonishing stuff. I thought he was a one hit wonder with Collide but the guy is a musical genius.

  2. B.... ....

    it is more a show as a concert

  3. B.... ....

    is he playing guitar ?

  4. B.... ....

    what is this fucking guy doing ?

  5. G.... ....

    I saw this on a dvd years ago. How is this not over millions of views?!

  6. V.... P....

    Everyone knows “Collide” and it is truly wonderful. This was my first introduction to Howie Day in 2002 and I love it.
    I really enjoy his performance here.

  7. l.... b....

    Love this!!!

  8. S.... L....

    My mom used to listen to him a lot right after her divorce and right before she moved away..brings back memories..not necessarily good feelings, but not bad ones..back when things were,.more secure.

  9. E.... H....

    In the future people will be sent to distant land through beams of light

  10. m.... ....

    i had the great fortune to see him perform this in a similar manner in 2015. Was still fucking incredible

  11. B.... ....

    you can never do that live

  12. B.... ....

    so fake

    B.... ....

    Burggartenjunge You’re an idiot

  13. L.... E....

    Brilliant idea thumbs up howie

  14. T.... ....

    This is the Howie Day I love, the one man band!

  15. Z.... M....

    In 2005 or 06 id fall asleep to this......so good!

  16. p.... ....

    Amazing song. And guitar as the drum? So awesome.

  17. T.... R....

    só o final q estragou rs

  18. e.... ....

    One of the originals of this style song. Capativate me

  19. D.... ....

    This is wonderful --- brilliant use of loop pedals -- I'm an old fart who never heard of Howie Day before stumbling on this video -- already I'm a fan!

    D.... ....

    Get to a show if he comes through your area. He usually makes his way through most major cities one a year.  Howieday.com shows his tour dates.  Usually inexpensive shows at smaller venues and worth every penny plus some.

  20. F.... ....

    I've got this DVD. It came with one of his CDs.

  21. C.... F....

    What a great musician he is!! It's all about the feelings!

  22. A.... A....

    Does anyone know how he changes the tempo of his loops at the end?

    A.... A....

    the looper pedal has an option to slow down or speed up all the loops in play.

    A.... A....

    He uses a Line 6 DL4 pedal.  You can record in half speed and then kick it up to regular speed, basically doubling the half speed original loop.

  23. M.... C....

    Jesus this was 15 years ago... where does the time go! Has always been one of my favorite that hits me right in the feels

  24. A.... A....

    I heard this song yesterday for the first time ever. This video has sold me on completely changing my style of writing. He is amazing and under rated.

    A.... A....

    Get the album :)

  25. v.... ....

    So good.  And I want to have his babies.

  26. E.... S....

    This will hit 100 million views at some point and it'll be before I'm a ghost.

  27. T.... S....

    Cool as Hell Good Lord Have Mercy

  28. T.... S....

    Every time I listen to this my heart aches but with warmth

  29. D.... R....

    I want to know how does he do that drum effect?.. i have an electro acoustic guitar with a pre amp, and i hit it on every corner and i don't get that kind of bassy drum effect.

  30. B.... C....

    This is not rare. It's his first cd concert. He's amazing. The crap he does now sucks.

  31. E.... S....

    I saw him in Paris on first part of Tori Amos concert. Good memory

  32. b.... ....

    Never works out that well when I try to use a looper pedal. Guess there's something to be said for talent.

    b.... ....

    bjiggs01 Takes a lot of practice to get the timing down. I’ve done it before but yeah it’s not easy and he makes it look easy. Lol

  33. L.... F....

    He truly is a one man band. I loved his music the first time I heard it. What's not to love.

  34. D.... R....

    P. S. You'll have a place to stay no bother.👍

  35. D.... R....

    Howie, will you please come to Ireland? You're long overdue.xx

  36. R.... M....

    Can somebody please tell me what did he do at 7:48?

    R.... M....

    Rohan Marwaha he got the star power from Super Mario...... LOL .....

    R.... M....

    Rohan Marwaha you took his input signals on his loop and delay pedal . the instruments he loops. he took his temp and mod knobs and turned them up. tripling the tempo of the song. it's an option on the Line 6 Green Loop / Delay Pedal he uses

    R.... M....

    tempo knobs*

  37. B.... B....

    Beautiful music to my ears!

  38. B.... J....

    Can't trust the 3 people who didn't like this...

    B.... J....

    Brittany Janes right ? He's amazing

    B.... J....

    TruDAtt!!!!

    B.... J....

    Can’t trust him on a tour bus.....(joking of course, but not). I was always impressed by how talented he is and he just never got as big of a break as I thought he deserved. He’s definitely better live. Back in 01, we were able to use our connection via his very very early and small fan club to get him to play at our college (Bridgewater State in Mass) in front of about 11 people inside a classroom. One of the coolest experiences I still remember and always crave his early stuff when I’m in a nostalgic kinda mood. So happy to see people still searching for it

    B.... J....

    Can't trust them....EVER. never ever

  39. J.... S....

    i love it everyday when i hear it,, Fantastic.

  40. G.... V....

    So amazing!

  41. D.... A....

    Wish he still did this. Still played like this.

    D.... A....

    Just saw him in Atlanta on Saturday, he performed this song and many others, incredible talent.

    D.... A....

    Saw him a few nights ago and he is still playing acoustically and using the same gear. He closed with Ghost and sounded amazing even though he was sick.

    D.... A....

    He does!  Check his website for tour dates.  He usually makes his way through most major cities each year.  Inexpensive shows in smaller venues.  Great shows!

  42. k.... ....

    To all music must haves!

  43. J.... ....

    Dude he was his own band and dj! 👍👍👍

  44. C.... M....

    Does anyone know what type of loop pedal he's using here? This is spectacular!

    C.... M....

    Line 6 DL4

    A delay pedal with loop function

    C.... M....

    Julien Destange Am oldie but a goodie! 🤘

  45. H.... B....

    What a talent! Nice!

  46. N.... s....

    seohyun and xubin

  47. O.... ....

    Perfection!

  48. M.... B....

    saw him at the coachella fest. 2004 when pixies radiohead and thecure headline what a year

  49. C.... C....

    OMG OMG this is amazing

  50. P.... ....

    Amazing.

  51. d.... ....

    I saw Howie Day perform twice when he was opening for Tori Amos back in 2002.  I was so blown away by his solo performance that I got tickets to see him the next time he was touring.  I was actually really disappointed since he was playing with his band for every song at that concert.  While the music was still enjoyable, I far prefer his performances like this one.  Thanks so much for posting it!

    d.... ....

    I went to Tori Amos with my sister ONLY because Howie Day was opening.

    d.... ....

    darcey55 exactly the same on that one. Tori in Toronto.. Just doing a stroll down memory lane
