What a song for a kinda sad and kinda lonely night. You know what I need. Mother Mother has truly impacted my life since I found them so many years ago. I’m so grateful.
what a beautiful arrangement this song is, it really puts shame to soft songs nowadays that stick to a three/four-chord pattern the entire song. Musicians should dare to put some breaks, bridges and interludes in their songs, like Mother Mother does; express yourself, you're an artist not a company!
My dad always says tbe same thing and i love it! I really agree with your argument. People nowadays just write different lyrics to the same music/beat. *I'm looking at you, Taylor Swift.*
@@keith.8964 The same five songwriters write most of those songs you are talking about for all the cheesy, heavily promoted radio played acts. That is their job, churning out cookie cutter songs that work well with volume compression so they can be blasted at captive audiences like grocery and clothing store shoppers, and are low risk because they sound like other things that are proven to sell. It is a low risk by sameness business model that took over as it became too expensive to invest in promoting many different artists writing their OWN songs. But social media has become a great equaliser in the last five years, more people who are not inclined to look hard for non-template-following music, are stumbling on things not written by those same five destroyers of the shopping experience.
i love this band, they capture so many thoughts, experiences and emotions so well in their songs, and i hope that they know the positive effect they've had on their fans lives; many of their songs are also easy to interprete as expressions on mental illness and such difficulties, ive seen fans who suffer from such things feel less alone and validated after hearing their music, its a lovely thing to see 🖤🖤
As someone who has been ghosted, this song got a place in my heart pretty easily. The decision this person made to shut me out of their lives hurt me in a way I've never thought it could be possible. Emotionally, they left me in a bad place, and the path I took to get over it was long and almost agonizing. And this song reminds me of what I did. I became a "ghost" in this person's eyes, and I wanted so bad to be seen by them again that I almost lost myself in trying. I was trying so hard that I became unnable to understand that their decision was final, and getting the same, cold result every time I tried to get closer to them was what broke my heart. If I had found this song during that time, I just would have cried to it. But now that I'm healed, this song brings me peace. The lyrics speak to me in every word, and singing " _You don't need _*_me_* " along with the song gives me a satisfactory feeling. I feel like I've grown from the ghost I was before. Anyway, what I really want to say is Thank you, Mother Mother, for appearing into my life in the right moment, and helping me to voice my feelings. Getting to listen to your music is definitively going to the list of good things that have happened to me this year, and I couldn't be happier for that.
I've been ghosting I've been ghosting along Ghost in your house Ghost in your arms When you're tossing When you turn in your sleep It's because I'm ghosting your dreams And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I'll leave them folded neat and tidy So that you'll know I'm out of hiding I've been ghosting I've been ghosting alone Ghost in the world Ghost with no home I remember I remember the days When I'd make you oh, so afraid And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home unhaunted You don't need poltergeist for sidekicks You don't need treats and you don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need no Halloween You don't need treats You don't need tricks And you don't need me Hey, would it be so bad if I stayed I'm just a ghost out of his grave And I can't make love in my grave I won't put white into your hair I won't make noises in your stairs I will be kind and I will be sweet If you stop staring straight through me And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I'll leave them folded neat and tidy So that you'll know I'm out of hiding And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home unhaunted You don't need poltergeist for sidekicks You don't need treats and you don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need no Halloween You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need no Hallows Eve You don't need treats You don't need tricks And you don't need me
I'm sobbing, like actual tears made their way out from my eyes. Beautiful and breath taking, as always! Ghosting is my second song I listened from you guys, and to suddenly hear you sing it again? Timeless. Never stop creating amazing musics for the world to hear.
from 2:08-END what they did with their vocal arrangements re so complex and the drummer and guitarist have done such a marvelous job a recorded song could not do
I've never heard such a full sound from just a guitar/bass/keyboard. The guy absolutely kills it on that guitar. Sounds like 2 guitarists playing during a lot of the song for sure
Wow! That drumfill isn't in the studio version, is it? Maybe I've never heard it before but it really adds something to the impact of that part. Love it.
Mother Mother - please release a song where the girl with the bun solos! (I think she did have one on an older album) - she has a killer voice (as do all three of you).
You guys are so underrated and I love you guys so much! This is an old song tho surprised you’re coming back to it. It’s great though, this is the song I used to get my friend into you guys.
First, this song made me feel so happy But now that I know the meaning of ghosting and that saw that video of the animated ghost cat it makes me so saaad but I absolutely love it, it is a beautiful work, really ❤️
That makes 2 of us, man. Sometimes I just feel like isolate myself is the best I can do for everyone I know, but as I start isolating, I also start to missing moments with these people, and with time enough, we all end up as almost strangers to each other. (Sorry for my bad English, is not my native language)
Hey! I visited Vancouver for the first time from Toronto this past March, and on my first night there, first meal, whilst eating sushi Ryan and Jasmin sat right next to me... like... at those uncomfortably close seats... These peeps are so down to Earth!
What a beautiful song. Mother Mother really puts the emotion and soul into their songs still, something that always comes off as an absolute delight. And of course, such truthful songs, truly touch one's troubled heart. And for that, Mother Mother is a WONDERFUL band !!
These guys are almost better live. I feel like it's hard to find artists that are better or even just as good live, but these guys have that in spades. Beautiful performance.
The only band that has ever made me cry, especially with a performance like this one. Mother Mother have been here for me when no one else has. I'm so grateful and I'll never stop liking this band. I love you guys.
OMG i finally found you guys my mom used to listen to you guys so ive listened to you all my life basically but im a huge huge fan i love all of you songs ive listen to all of them I even have your vinyls. Anyways keep up the great work
When i saw you ten years ago you just put me inside this bubble that i just didnt want to get out of , since then i infatuated many of my friends to your music and my daughter who was 5 at the time is now going to your show everytime you come to Montréal,thanx for putting out such inspiring music!!
this is so amazing. this song always brings me to tears but this version was just overwhelmingly beautiful. i hope i'll have the honors of listening to them live soon
I fell out of love with this band for years but this version of the song really brought me back... they really progressed as a band and I couldn’t be happier. keep it up 💖
