NoMeansNo - Ghosts

Band: NoMeansNo
Song: Ghosts
Album: 0 + 2 = 1 [1991]
Thin voices call out of thin air
"Do you really care?
Do you really care?"
There is no reason to be afraid
All the bodies have been laid to rest
Nobody passes the test of time
The long climb into thin air, thin air
There is no one there
You think you have time
You have no time
An image may be left in place
Of what was felt there is no trace
In words recited without sound
By voices buried underground
There is no meaning to be found
"Do you really care?
Do you really care?"
There is no one there
You think you have time
You have no time
There are no castles without ghosts
And no spirits without hope
But nobody passes the test of time
You stand in line, you have your place
That in the space of moments fall
From again and again and again to not at all
From again and again and again to not at all
I do not fear the buried sounds
Of words that echo underground
A memory is a loaded gun
And I remember everyone
I remember you
"Do you really care?
Do you really care?"
There is no one there
There is no one there
Why are you scared?
There is no one there
You're clean, strong and free like you always wanted to be
You're alone, alone, alone
There is no one there

Powerful shit. I wish they’d come back but, I hope they are well.

This song hits harder at 48. When he says “I remember you” it is like he is speaking of 19 year old me standing in the front row.

[@DrLeePercussion]

Awesome song and the drums are killer!

[@cangong]

and the lyrics are awesome, too: best description of a ghost i've ever heard or read: 'there is no meaning to be found... there is no one there...'

[@diaablo777]

Post-grunge, comedy rock, experimental rock, neo-psychedelia, math rock, art rock

[@ericwhit43]

I like neo-psychedelia, they're mind readers to be honest...

[@davidgormley7990]

Wrong on all counts. Sorry

[@davidstewart7477]

Metaphysics of presence/absence... And life is short
