Shakey Graves - Dearly Departed Lyrics
Oooooh [x4]
Well
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange
[Shakey:] You used to bite, I used to moan
[Esme:] But now I'm mumbling and you choke
[Shakey:] Well it ain't so scary on my own
[Esme:] Tell me honey, what's a dagger without a cloak?
I don't know 'cause
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange
[Shakey:] In the midnight hour you came alive
[Esme:] I was lookin' for my crystal ball
[Shakey:] I was busy tryin' to charm that snake ssss
When the sun came up we had no place to hide
[Shakey:] And you had to tell your friends that my fangs were fake
[Esme:] I just had to
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattlin your chains
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange
Even when one is dead and gone
It still takes two to make a house a home
Well I'm as lonesome as the catacombs
I hear you call my name but no one is there
Except a feeling in the air
You and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah you and I both know that the ghost is you
Used to walk around screaming, all slamming all 'dem doors
Well I'm all grown up now, I don't scare easy no more
Yeah, you and I both know
Oooohh
Yeah, you and I both know
Oooohh
Yeah, you and I both know
Oooohh
Oooohh

nice dress, you sound awful.
I swear she guides him through this the harmonies, he's kind of concentrating really hard to make sure that he doesn't write and she's just blowing it up doing it perfectly and at the end they both get it. It's f****** gorgeous I'm sorry.
they both smashin
Who in the hell are the 1,900 idiots who didn't like this?
I had a hat like that when I was 19 I was working in a restaurant called The other side Cafe in Boston Massachusetts. Some friend of Sean's put it on my head and I swear I wore it to bed. Till he took it back. Funny thing is it never looked good on him after that.
esme....fricken babetown USA.
aa im so in love
It's true...you can't just walk into a room and say "Shut up. I have an acoustic guitar..." I used to work in a hotel in DC and the Nashville Songwriters' Association was staying there. Acoustic guitars every day. Finally one of them started playing; his colleague introduced him as Dan Navarro. He played his biggest hit: We Belong, singing in English and in Spanish, and when he was done everyone but me applauded. Me: "I am SO MAD AT YOU right now." If you get a chance, you need to see him play.
Expanding the set.....

I'm scared in my kitchen.
My body is humming with all kinds of bad shit. You and I both know my mom loves me.

Please get married.
So gooood!
They are having so much fun up there!! so rad to see this
Absolutely love this song. Esme Patterson is the love of my life 😄
What are they bleeping out?!!! 🤬🤬
Ever since I first listened to Shakey many years ago he's never failed to bring a smile to my face and warmth in my heart through his sounds and talent. These two really have chemistry, I love it.
Good to try new things. Huge fan of this song on the John Lennon bus.
What is this girls name? Preese
Esme Patterson. It says it in the description, and he says in the intro also.
I must have been struck... mercy me
That was truly a beautiful version of that song. It may have been done long ago, but it's a first for me.
I want to tell all the artists I love to go to AK in the summer. I might not be there, but it's the experience you should have . Go to the Yukon in July.
Pardon my language, but I Fuckin LOVE that SHIT!!!
I just heard this on the radio of all places after having this on my play list for ages. My by was like "how do you know this?!" when i did the squealy ghost part.
Esme makes my face melt with lust

Timothy Hanston has to tell my friends that my *fangs where fake. Thank you, though. I was looking for this comment.

I wish there was dating apps that instead of listing stupid things about you it was just all the music you listen to cuz I’d go straight here and find my wife
man, they totally shagged for a week or something, didn't they?
LOVE HIS LIVE MUSIC!!!! Dude is sooo talented!!
I like the songs he does with Emma, without Emma. I can’t stand her for some reason.
Live beats recording studio. I've had a bottle of brandy and this fucks the "recorded'' version x10
For Esther.
This is the most Beautiful combination of voices! ❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LIKE IT
They fckd so hard after this
Esmé has the better voice. Sorry Mr. Graves.
Not gonna lie. I've watched this so many times and it still bothers me that I don't know what he says between 33 and 35 secs.
Potruffle right ??? lol
Why y'all singing with a fake speech impediment tho?
Who is this chocolate haired temptress with an angelic face and the voice to match?!?
His clothing style is very aesthetic lol
Jazz metal.... fuck yeah. My new Indian name is burnin beans
she is pretty
He is so cute on this one.
This is gold
The song starts at 01:04
You're welcome.
This was so good but i think he shouldve collabed with a better girl then her smh not feeling her voice🤷🏻♂️🤣
Love love !
How could anyone watch this and not think it's awesome.
Starts @ 01:03
Dog I love them!
OMGGGGG💗💗💗💗😭😭😭😭
this dude thinks a lot of himself. I liked the song tho…..
this is awesome.
This is what true music is about - to have fun, to connect with others, etc. - it's very much an experience. I think there is too much polishing up and seeking for perfection that we forget to take a step back and just unwind, smile, and have fun jamming out to music with friends. I can feel the passion radiating out of these two and it is always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the amazing work and keep making beautiful art! <3
I love them together. Dang dang.
I've may have said it before but I WILL say it again when I heard emse singing I could have sworn I was listening to a SUPER young Janis Joplin
5 years later still waiting on the jazz metal
I wish he would just shut the fuck up and sing
I love this song.
I love how she pushes out "dagger" and "cloak" on this one
sing his ass of, that’s lady holy cow... needs to be real though when he’s talkin. Or just stick to singing
She would be great with the Lumineers !!!
Fucking fuckity fuck! Yes!
I really hope he was shacking up with esme
Not sure if I like the Coody Guy' Version from the KEXP Concert more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2e0U26kltU
Wow, this warmed my soul to see how they interact with one another. Love both of their voices. ❤️
i want someone to look at me, like esme looks at shakey.
edit: beautiful song btw.
Love it🐸🐘
Gives me the chills every time!!!
What an incredible musician! Kudos!!!
The echo in the woods near the end. Friggen amazing!
Hey folks, they're sexin. Yep. Sexin it up.
Wish we didn't have the prefatory explanation.

I've always wondered what happened to Dennis Miller.
Just now discovered shakey graves today and I can’t stop listening to him. Great artist.
Amazing!

am I the only one that thinks it's funny that they're saying "the ghost is me" but it sounds like "the ghost Esme." It sounds like they're saying her name
You know you are in love with music when it means something different every time you hear it.
her voice is so dang pretty
