This Ghost Of You
written & performed by Hook
This Ghost of You
tearing my heart in 2
Has left me in bitter pain

each room of our home
Wont leave me alone
Something I just cant explain

The feeling that you are still
right by my side

This ghost of you
Tearing my heart in 2
There's nothing left of me to see

& all I want is for
this ghost to not be a ghost anymore
& walk through the door
& standard there in front of me

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Really nice Hook... this is powerful. Sometimes music is the best way to express feelings... Mesmerising stuff but hope you are ok.

Sad and beautiful, and always amazed by what you can do with a uke. Wishing you all the best, my friend.

The uke and your vox sound great...as does the whole song Hook! I hope your struggles work out for you...music is a good place to keep one sane.

Wow, this is great. That lead work really doesn't sound like a uke at all, very cleverly done.  The song's got a lovely feel to it, I really like the rhythm/backing uke lines and the changes through the song. Very nice vox as well, and the whole recording hangs together very well.

Excellent work all round!

Impressive, like wow! impressive.

An amazingly well constructed track, and a Uke again as weapon of choice.

Great slant on the ghost theme lyrically.

I liked the Tabla and uke overdrive intro.

Hook, my Friend...

Just realized that though I've listened to this song a number of times, I've never commented..  (Not that there's any requirement, I just like you to know I'm there with you [as much as I can be] and truly amazed at how even through times of personal turmoil you're able to produce the quality music you do.) :)

Production is spot on, and as usual I'm impressed and continually amazed at the quality that small little, teeny tiny, itsy bitsy, eensy weensy hand held recorder of yours can crank out!!  ...And the way you can get that uke to sound like a Fender Strat...   :o

Lyrically heart breaking [as I've said of your other recent songs], but never vindictive.  I'm hoping that these songs ARE working as cathartic releases for you and bringing you at least a bit of comfort...

Thank you for sharing this piece of you with us.
