Glen Campbell - Ghost On The Canvas Lyrics

Christ. I bawl every time I watch this video. Lost my grandfather to Alzheimer’s. This is a beautiful cover. The family aspect. Westerberg in the video.

God bless you, Glen! Much love from Europe.

Tears and Emotion...every time. One of the Greatest Music Artists in Modern American History. Goodbye Glen....Thank you for the Tears and Love and Memories.

Alzheimer's disease took some of his memories but couldn't get his Music nor his talent ,.... You will always be remembered , I guess every music player device in this world holds some songs for you ,.... Good bye Glen till we meet again .

Love Glen Campbell

A beautiful song.
Sung by an unbelievable brilliant artist.
The great Glen Campbell.

Miss you Mr Glen Campbell 💖🎤🎼

Merci pour toutes ces merveilles. RIP Glen Campbell

In my late 20s through my early 40s I just about wore out the vinyl albums I have of Glen Campbell. Then the needle on my turntable somehow just quit working. I cried listening to his music everyday and nighttimes. He was my go to for heartbreak company, he was my joyful times, and my choice of voices to listen to. Some of the songs on any of the albums I needed to hear over and over...pick that arm up and move back to the start of a favorite. Like this song "Ghost on the Canvas", I've just sat here and replayed it 3 times so far. He simply puts the words and thoughts I have, into all his beautiful self. He's one I never forget. <3

Well put. Me too....

This is a beautiful song.

Just this year i lost my grandma and this gets me through it

So sorry for your loss... Blessings to your Family...

A true music legend

What a beautiful legacy. Love his music!

Miss your talent Glen, RIP old friend .

Wonderful song!

oh lord. that makes me cry. RIP dear glen. we miss you down here.

like that tune

Just Tears for the Love of this Man...and his incredible Music. Thank you Glen. You'll never be forgotten...

I've loved him since I was twelve! I listen to him every day.

Good choice pal

Are the band seriously his kids?

Yep,three of them are. Talent runs through the family. Susan

My all time favourite, Glen you are a king, I'll never stop listening to you !

What a great man and talent RIp glen

Oh my. That was fantastic!

Thanking the Lord for such a wonderful, "Guitar Man" with so many gifts bestowed upon him. His perfect pitch and tone are beautiful and I can never forget his gifts of musical talent and his beautiful voice. How many records he played on through the years we will never truly know, or those he sang back up on. There will never be another Glen Travis Campbell. His memory is alive in this home every day. His beautiful interpretations of songs and his own music lives on.

Excellent

Glen Campbell with his 2011 return to form album Ghost On The Canvas for the title track written by Paul Westerberg the theme is very similar to Johnny Cash's Hurt which Glen reflects deep, meaningful look back at his career/life. The Cash song and video is more dark while Ghost is bittersweet. Both are great.

Did Glen ever really know what this disease would do to him. And did he understand. I will never love a musician/singer the way I do him. He has sung me through many milestones in my life and for that I will be grateful. To seeing you in the heavens one day, miss you Glen!!

Glenn Merle buck and Johnny. They were all great.

And what ghost it is, was, loved it

One of the greatest performers of all time! No one like Glen! So very much missed and loved! Outstanding performance, vocal and songwriting!
God Bless You Glen!

I fell in love with this song after hearing it on car radio on BBC radio 2. In a word BEAUTIFUL............

Glen Campbell and Paul Westerberg. That's about as good as it gets.

What a fantastic.artist.a true.legend one.of.my. heroes

The final image is from a medley that can be found easily on YouTube and it is Gold. RIP all those greats

I absolutely love all the Replacements imagery and references. :) and to have Westerberg be the songwriter AND be in the video. Awesome.

Need another canvas to add Roy Clark to this band of legends.

--- Alzheimer's Disease
Statistics show that Americans 65 and older have a 20 to 25% rate of mild cognitive impairment. A full 10% of these people have outright dementia. The average person does fairly well until about age 77. There are probably about 5 million Americans today with Alzheimer's. Higher education is a big plus factor here. College graduates do much better as they age. Why do we fear growing old so much? Mostly, it is because we start to lose our mental clarity, memory, decision making ability, and therefore our independence.

Alzheimer's is a fast growing epidemic in America and most of the world. 50% of Americans over 85 will suffer from it. This disease has only appeared in the last few decades. It was simply unknown until very recently. We have other epidemics never seen before, especially diabetes, hypertension, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.

We have these new epidemics because we are doing things humans have never done before. These record rates are confined to the industrialized nations, especially America. No one has ever hogged down so many calories, fat, sugars, high refine carbohydrates, such as baking goods , pasta , bread white flour , chemicals, preservatives, and nutrition-less food than we do.

No one. Basically, Alzheimer's is based on inflammation and oxidative stress. This is very related to the same factors that cause coronary heart disease (the biggest killer). Our insane intake of over 160 pounds of various sugars is the main cause. What can we do about it? We can avoid cognitive decline and failing memory. Genetics is a minor factor, especially since this condition didn't even exist 100 years ago.

Also, it was never prominent until recently. We can prevent Alzhiemer's as well as dementia, and serious cognitive decline as we age. Once Alzheimer's takes hold, it cannot be cured though. The most important causes are sugar intake, high blood glucose, high insulin, and insulin resistance. Also high estrogens. This comes down mostly to a dysfunctional blood sugar/insulin axis. Let's look at the major factors:

Sugars , We swill down over 160 pounds of various sugars every year. This is prima facie insanity. One in three American children will grow up diabetic. This is the main cause. This sugar intake causes high blood glucose, high insulin, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes). Sugars rots your brain. It doesn't matter whether you eat honey, fruit juice, dried fruit, molasses, agave syrup, raw sugar, sorghum, or white sugar.
Now we have toxic sugar substitutes such as sucralose that cause the very same problems. All these raise triglyceride levels and insulin .

Insulin resistance, high insulin, and high blood glucose. This comes from eating all that sugar and all the refine high carbs . Our blood glucose rises. Our insulin no longer is effective, so we keep making more and more to compensate. This leads to metabolic syndrome, and then outright diabetes. Caffeine in any form will do the same. Even one cup of coffee, or one energy drink a day will eventually wreck your blood sugar metabolism. We should have a fasting blood insulin level of about 4-5, not 9 and above. Our blood sugar should be 85 or less, not 100 and above.

Obesity. We're the fattest nation on earth, and getting fatter every year. Every year we get more obese. The fatter you are, the higher your chances are of getting every known disease, including Alzheimer's. You can eat all you want, never be hungry, and lose weight, if you just make better food choices. Just make better food choices. Fat makes you fat, not food per se. The only way to be slim is diet and exercise.

Saturated animal fats. We stuff over 40% saturated fat calories in our face. This should only be 10 to 20% unsaturated oils, and from vegetables only. Excessive fat intake is a major factor here, as it is with all other diseases. Eat less than 20% vegetable oils. Americans have the highest cholesterol levels and highest rates of CHD in the world.

Hormonal imbalance. The average person over 40 is a hormonal mess. Men have about seven basic hormones to deal with, while women have about ten (due to their three major estrogens). Natural hormone balance is vital here. Testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, melatonin and progesterone are all vital here. Pregnenolone is especially important. High estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) are major factors in both men and women. High E1 and E2 are disasterous for our brains. Read the article Balance Your Hormones.

Too much food. We eat TWICE the calories we need. We eat for two people. We never stop eating. This country now has wall to wall fast food grease pits wherever you go. No one else out-eats America. Eat two meals a day. Fast one day a week. Make better food choices, and you can eat all you want and never be hungry. The less you eat, the longer you'll live, the healthier you'll be, and the higher your quality of life. Calorie restriction is the most effective way know to in-crease lifespan.


Lack of exercise. Who walks anywhere anymore? How many people do you know who go to a gym or have a home gym? Playing golf in an electric cart really doesn't count. Exercise, even just walking every day, is a powerful preventative. The more you exercise the more bulletproof you will be to mental decline as you age. Exercise raises your feel good endorphins, too.

Oxidative stress. This means the free radicals in our body are overwhelming us. This comes from our diet and lifestyle. It is not enough to just take proven antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, and melatonin. These, on their own, will not make up for bad diet and lack of exercise. Diet and lifestyle cures oxidative stress.

Bad habits. Caffeine is the most popular psychotropic drug on earth, and is insidiously addictive. We don't drink as much alcohol as the Scandanavians, but we sure try hard. Tobacco is still an epidemic, and 1 in 3 smoke. These three drugs alone contribute dramatically to our high rates of disease. Recreational drugs are another cause. We now have a national opiate epidemic.

We have an outright marijuana pandemic. Don't think pot is innocuous at all, because it causes serious cognitive impairment over time. You have to go cold turkey on all bad habits. Yes, that can be tough, but there's no way around that.

You have a choice in life. You can be a breathing vegetable in a nursing home, after your "loved ones" dump you there. Or you can be bullet proof to Alzheimer's, and other forms of dementia, if you deal with all these things. An ounce of prevention is worth ten pounds of cure. Health is real wealth, and diet and lifestyle are the key to a long life. Think whole body, holistic health, and not just brain health.

God bless you Glen and your family! Adios!

Rip glen x

Grew up listening to Glen..love his music..RIP my friend and thanks for the memories!!!

Ashley Campbell is Gorgeous beyond measure

Very fond memories of hearing this great talented man on the radio growing up still crank his tunes wow what a talent going to be missed not many today like him

Love this song.

Wow, that is a fantastic song. Susan

What a brilliant man and supreme talent! Always love him RIP Glen x

“Love Glen Campbell”

For me this is one of the most perfect pop songs with a great crossover feel from his late 60s output and yet somehow very much in the now.
Simply wonderful. Glenn was indeed a consummate professional beginning as a highly gifted session man before reaching another level as a true star of the late 60s and 70s with that unmissable and unmistakable voice and the GC guitar licks.

Beautiful!

my sons favourite bed time track

Hus talent knew no limits.

I am a musician with early on dimensia from a head injury. I can so relate. Time is running out.

Blessings to you, friend...

I'm so sorry. Blessings from Australia. Susan

wonderful to see his kids performing with him :-)

Fantastic song,Rest in peace Mr Glen Campbell sorely missed by many Xx

It's May 2018 as i write this. I never heard this song till just a few days ago. How could this song not be a #1 song? Never heard this on the radio. This is one of the most beautiful songs that Glen Campbell ever recorded. I can't stop listening to it. Beautiful video. I love Glen Campbell. He'll never really die while i'm alive , cause i recently started playing his CD's in my car and love him in True Grit.

Me too...I got the CD just for this song...Heartbreaking beautiful...

Brilliant,,, Love this Song,,, Says A Lot about ,,, Life

I think I see Elton John and Bernie Taupin at 2:00

Mark Evans I feel the same way. There will never be another like Glen Campbell. He was the genuine article, no pretense with anyone at anytime. I can only be thankful that I can reach for his music anytime, and I do. What an incredible man who was gifted with unlimited talent.

Glenn and my Daddy passed within a week of each other RIP

To Mark Evans So beautifully said. People didn't realize what a gift Glen Campbell had and how humbly and generously he shared it with everyone. He was so modest and when complimented, he'd say "ah, well, you're very kind. It's a gift from God". He will be missed forever. I too will try to carry on his music and his life ndness on my journey until I'm call home by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We we're so blessed to have had him for all those years and now we still have his music, which I listen to everyday. But, well said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. God bless.

Sublime artist. Will never be another Glen Campbell. Truly missed.

Growing up with Glen Campbells music in our home, the world was a better place for having him in it - and now relive his music and memory.

HE WILL ALWAYS BE MY VERY FAVORITE SINGER!

Fantastic.

Fell in love with this song on my car radio, epic :p

I watch this video frequently and get something from it every time. Those who have commented here have said so much. His family was blessed to have someone like him and it looks like those I have seen here and in some of the other videos knew it.

Beautiful song by a beautiful man always will be a beautiful soul and big heart always remembered ❤

I got choked up listening to this song. What a way to close a great career.

Thanks for the good times RIP .

RIP Glen

all the greatest ghost's are there

to see glen campbell and paul westberg in the video together----cool ass !!!

all the best ghost are there

ghost's

his last years where spent cementing his legacy

Great song and great video except for the "young band". That ruined it for me. He's too classic for having a "young, trying to look hip band" backing him.

Bit harsh! At least 2 or 3 are his children. Susan

all of the amazing legends are there!!

he faced his death with courage & strength ---A true American Icon

I just -Love this, The man is a Man, Bless him. He brought musical-colourful into our lives..Xx

I knew back in 2011 that this was Glenn's swan song.... he said so himself....what a way to say goodbye.... just pure Glenn Campbell at the height of his power....those vocals...those words...those beautiful riffs and strings. pure heaven

so sad, but courageous to do so

he's now a true legend

God bless him R.I.P.

Fantastic piece,,so heart felt,,he's the last ghost on the canvas to join in on the picture,,i can simply listen
to Glen Campbell anytime,,day or night and get so absorbed in his sound ,,not many around today that can do that.
3:19 as he sails away !!

Awesome but a little scary... some of the words

Tears welling. For this song, Paul. And for a lifetime of music, Glen. There are no words.

they're all there--the true legends!!

we dream in colors & other's color their dreams!!

hauntingly beautiful!!
