Kristin Hersh - Your Ghost (Official Video) 

If I walk down this hallway Tonight it's too quiet So I pad through the dark And call you on the phone Push your old numbers And let your house ring 'Til I wake your ghost Let him walk down your hallway It's not this quiet Slide down your receiver Sprint across the wire Follow my number Slide into my hand It's the blaze across my nightgown It's the phone's ring I think last night You were driving circles around me I think last night You were driving circles around me I think last night You were driving circles around me I can't drink this coffee 'Til I put you in my closet Let him shoot me down Let him call me off I take it from his whisper You're not that tough It's the blaze across my nightgown It's the phone's ring You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me

One of the more haunting and beautiful songs of the 90s. I've still got the CD. 🤘

3 Chords and Michael's voice (which gives me the goosebumps) made this one of the most beautiful songs ever...

f I walk down this hallway, tonight, It's too quiet, So I Pad through the dark And call you on the phone Push your old numbers And let your house ring Til I wake you ghost. Let him walk down your hallway It's not this quiet Slide down your receiver Sprint across the wire Follow my number Slide into my hand. It's the blaze across my nightgown It's the phone's ring. I think last night You were driving circles around me. I can't drink this coffee Til I put you in my closet Let him shoot me down Let him call me off I take it from his whisper You're not that tough.

A found, lost, rediscovered gem Now a staple of my playlist anytime I feel emotional

*Best song to have on permanent repeat, when you miss someone with all your heart and you're going mildly insane

Saw Kristin live last saturday in Lisbon, a magical moment.

This about when she was a teenager struggling with early schizophrenia. She set her night gown on fire trying to make the noise stop. Michael represents the voices that don't stop. She's such an amazing poet.

What a voice and Michael Stipe stroke of genius

Goosebumps all over. This is far beyond beautiful.

Your Ghost' would probably be the type of anthem I'd want played at my funeral.. The warmth & ambience of the song connects everything without judgement, time, space, past, future cause it just is & it's euphorically beautiful🏵️🌌

If you've ever called or texted someone whom you know is dead, then you understand this song

Why am I only hearing this now? This is simplicity at its most elegant.

Beautiful song. My wife and I danced our 'first song' to this at our wedding in 2007.

I love this song SO MUCH. It's been haunting me for decades.

One of the more amazing songs ever.

What a strange and beautiful song

That piercing harmony that Michael sings is one of the most haunting musical moments ever.

Oh my god this amazing. A boyfriend put this song on a mix tape for me in the early 00s but i wasn't ready for it then. I was struggling with my own mental illness and this song was overwhelming, too raw, too sad, too frightening, too much. Now I'm older and I have tamed some of my demons I can finally listen without fear and appreciate the dark beauty instead of only the horror.

could it get much cooler than Kristin fucking Hersh and Michael fucking Stipe?! the answer is, no... it cannot.

First time I saw this video was in MTV during the 90's and early 2000 when it was still pure... Now MTV is just full of craps... Miss the 90's

Just wanted to hear this brilliant song after so many years. Have got it on a CD. Have always loved it and always will. Kristin has got such a lovely voice and Michael just adds to the songs brilliance.

I really fell in love with this song when I first heard it. Really great song.

Like when Tori Amos and Maynard James Keenan did Mohammad My Friend, these two are a perfect blend.

Been listening to this woman's work since 1986. What a shame that she's not a megastar...

I've been searching for this song for years! An old independent radio station, WCBR, occasionally played it. I guess you could say I've been haunted by this song since it came out! Thanks for posting it!

One of the most beautiful tunes ever written. I saw Kristin live in Norway a few years ago. Priiceless...

N.U.107 the only station in the phillippines who always playing this song miss the 90s era..

I remember hearing Kristin Hersh on Vin Scelsa's "Idiot's Delight" show back when this album came out. She said Michael Stipe has the voice of a cello, and that's stayed with me ever since.

I haven't been heard this song for at least a decade. Hips and Makers is a brilliant record. It's good to know that Kristin is well, and making music 🎶

Dear David movie brought me here

4AD signs on only talented artists.

If you listen to this on the right stereo system, that huge echoing bass drum way in the distance gives everything this massive plain of space to haunt

Many people have had periods of mental torment and music 🎶 can help best wishes to anyone who is struggling remember things can change for the better and mostly do so just keep believing in yourself ❤️🙏

She was great with Throwing Muses 2019 🌹 Bowl 🏟 !

She played this live at Colchester Arts Centre last summer and I could not help but sob throughout the whole piece. One of her most beautiful and powerful compositions. I love you, Kristin.

Great song! Always thought this was one of Greg Laswell's but heard it on the Tegan and Sara series and, now, I know better. Thanks to all the great artists out there!

You were in my dream. You were driving circles around me

First time I heard this song, is beautiful and scary at the same time, mezmerising

Such a gem! Always come back here to hear/see this again and again!

Love you Kristin, love you Tanya. I use to love busking the song. 4AD and Ivo rocks! Michael stipe does such lovely backing vocals 🙏💜🐈

Beautiful song Kristin is a wonder

Sometimes I think my late husband visits me when I am ill. My Grandmother, too. I know I will be with them again soon.

LYRICS If I walk down this hallway Tonight it's too quiet So I pad through the dark And call you on the phone Push your old numbers And let your house ring 'Til I wake your ghost Let him walk down your hallway It's not this quiet Slide down your receiver Sprint across the wire Follow my number Slide into my hand It's the blaze across my nightgown It's the phone's ring I think last night You were driving circles around me I think last night You were driving circles around me I think last night You were driving circles around me I can't drink this coffee 'Til I put you in my closet Let him shoot me down Let him call me off I take it from his whisper You're not that tough It's the blaze across my nightgown It's the phone's ring You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me You were in my dream (I think last night) You were driving circles around me

Embellished by Micheal Stipe's vocals...

I remember this song vividly when released in 1994. A storm hit Brisbane late night and every light was off and this was like a cosseting blanket. Beautiful

I fell in love with the Throwing Muses as soon as I heard Counting Backwards being played on MTV. This was in 1991 The Real Ramona was often being played in my sony cassette man. I think I had the Judy Bats on the other side. Walking around New Orleans as a 19 year old visitor from out of town was a uniquely odd experience. I was able to walk through the french quarter listening to Hook in her head and not too soon.....and walk through the thick humid air while loosing myself in two steps.

Fuck me...Thi was popular music not so far ago.

Reminds me of being a young guy in 1994 going out enjoying myself with mates but having to listen to god awful dance stuff in the bars. When home I'd listen to this kind of thing...oh, and I fancied Kristin Hersh too lol!

i think last night... you were driving circles around me... you were in my dream~~

This song is about loving someone and trying to raise a family I feel- she’s so amazing. Even in person- what a cool woman

Beautiful song. To bad this is nolonger mainstream. This is real music!

I'm so disappointed about myself for not knowing this master piece...

I think last night you were driving circles around me...I think every night you are driving circles around me...

in a wondrous time before cell phones...

Covers of this song, no matter how nice, cannot touch the original. It’s simply perfect. I hope Kristin made a bucket of royalties.

This track has always held special meaning for me. Played at a friend's funeral in 2002, it has always struck me as so fundamentally perfect. When I'm dead, I hope someone will play this for me.

She's a pure genius.

Mike Paradinas brought me here

I had no idea Zooey Deschanel was making music in the early 90s

Master piece. I so love this song etheric and incredible

Μελαγχολικό αλλά άψογο!

מי עוד פה מהסרט על ענת אלימלך מהטריילר עם אגם???

The last vestige of Stipe's hair.

Such a phenomenal duet!

1 of the most beautiful records ever made

I return once more to this and wonder at her 0:03 closing eyes, she is wandering through how she is meant to be. xx

One of the great tracks from "the rock and roll years" (1954/2018) But one of the Sparkling gems that is unknown to the mainstream .

had to sell my record collection a few years back..had most of throwing muses tracks.....sigh

Haunting....o'so haunting....Michael Stipe; what an additive.

Master piece. Beautiful song Kristin is a wonder It couldn't be better than it is.

This is about a friend of hers who attempted to end his life.

Spine-tingling, beautiful, heart breaking...love playing it really loud, sounds like thunder rolling between the speakers.

Master piece.

It's a nice song, and I love depth added by Stipe's vocals. If we only had YT back then.

Pure Bliss

I played this at my best friend's funeral. Very few even picked up on it, but those that did... This track means so much... EDIT: Sorry for the double-post. I didn't realize that I had cried publicly earlier. This track... this track...

I was thinking of Ghost whilst listening to this and find it to be a haunting experience, tuning in,now tuning out. well done.

2019 anyone?

Thank you, With Honors, for introducing me to this song.

A life-changing video for me. I was already an REM fan but I was so-so on the Muses. This showed me what I should be doing!

the deep bass at 1:02 and every 3rd bar after perfectly underplays the vocal to add futher unease to a record that is as beautiful as it is haunting.

Ah, the glory days is so many ways - including the fact that Michael Stipe looked great in eyeliner.

.......stunningly beautiful song, love it..

A friend of mine is having a psychotic break. He meets criteria for schizophrenia, but that's not what it is. They just won't listen to him. 💙🖤

🐺🍃Much love NOLA StephopalOpal Thank you!!

It couldn't be better than it is.

the video really matches with the song! So hauntingly beautiful!

I love this song and get goose bumps when listening to it!

I just noticed that this video is a homage to the Maya Deren film "Meshes of the Afternoon".

DAMN !! WHAT A WORK OF ART !! Hollywood should soundtrack it into a film

Sounds like something Mazzy Star would do.

This was an AMAZING SOLO CD -- LOVED IT AND STILL LOVE IT

Push your old numbers, and let your house ring, till I wake your ghost 👻

I'm fortunate to have found this serendipitously......and with Mr. Stipe to boot...lovely tune.

I first heard this when I was sixteen and it blew me away. I don’t know how to describe what it did, but it made a great impression on me. 1:45

Muito legal! Simplesmente fantastica a Kristin!

Love the harmonies

Great song. She looks amazingly like Zooey Deschanel in this. Or vice versa.
