this song has been on my playlist for so long now but I only see this version today thanks to the youtube algorithm????? HER EMOTION ON LIVE PERFORMANCES ARE UNPARALLELED YALL
I saw her sing this at The Beacham in Orlando, and it was an experience I will never forget. She put 100% of her emotion into it and everyone listened and cried and shut up and just felt the song. It was so beautiful.
those beginning chords are so beautiful, it's heartbreaking. and when she came in with the lyrics, i wondered how that much genius and talent could be concentrated in one person.
Do you remember when the walls fell Do you remember the sound that the door made when you closed it on me Do you know that I went down To the ground, landed on both my broken heart and knees I didn't even cry Because pieces of me had already died I'm a ghost Haunting these halls Climbing up walls that I never knew were there And I'm lost Broken down the middle of my heart, heart I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart You know you make me a ghost You make me a ghost I'm an invisible disaster I keep trying to walk but my feet don't find the solid ground It's like living in a bad dream I keep trying to scream but my tongue has finally lost its sound I've got to say goodbye To the pieces of me that have already died I'm a ghost Haunting these halls Climbing these walls that I never knew were there And I'm lost Broken down the middle of my heart, heart I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart You know you make me a ghost Oh, you make me a ghost You make me a ghost (You take the breath all away from me, you take it away) You make me a ghost I don't cry I don't try anymore I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost And I'm lost Broken down the middle of my heart, heart I'm broken down the middle I'm a ghost Haunting these halls Climbing up walls that I never knew were there And I'm lost Broken down the middle of my heart, heart I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart You know you make me a ghost You make me a ghost
Ingrid Michaelson, I have so much respect for you. In a world where popular music consists of canned beats and auto-tuned "singing," you create music. Music that is raw, and honest, and beautiful in its simplicity. And not only that, but your true talent is finally being appreciated, because "Human Again" is #1 on iTunes. Congratulations, and keep making your beautiful music!
I am SO looking forward to Ingrid's concert in Vancouver in less than two weeks. Funny enough, my youngest daughter (also with the voice of an angel) is playing at Carnegie Hall in NYC in less than a week from now. Talk about "changing places".
Ingrid Michaelson simply has an amazing, beautiful voice. This is real music, the kind of music that makes you actually feel something, whatever that may be. beautiful.
Come on all you Canucks! I can't believe there are tickets still available for the Commodore Ballroom on April 22nd! I have had mine since the day they became available. Let's fill up the room and show Ingrid how much we love her music.
She is the only artist I could spend my life seeing live. Every show she does is just as emotional, just as real, and just as beautiful as the one before it.
i'm about to graduate high school and i can't stop thinking about the influence ingrid michaelson has had on me through my teenage years. she was the first artist i discovered on my own and whose music i bought with my own money and things like that. it's because of her music that i discovered all the other music i like and decided to learn to play ukulele and guitar, and to write songs. and this song in particular moved me so much. i'm so grateful for her.
I remember listening to joni in the 60's and getting shivers down my spine, again in the 70s and the 80s. Each time the music and the voice matured. I get the same with Ingrid, the quality of the voice and the energy of the people she around her she inspires to make the music.
Ingrid, I must first say AMAZING! I already loved this song, this performance has made it one of my all time favorite songs ever. I love your emotions spilling through the piano and your chilling vocals leave me speechless! I just recently learned of you by watching your cover of "somebody that I used to know". Yours is better than the original by the way, and you are now my favorite female artist. I've bought all your albums and am looking forward to more! Stay awesome.
Brilliant song, I think ghost can represent depression as well as hearts and talks about emotional numbness nonetheless no matter how you interpret this song is genius and I LOVE her voice in this!
2:54, the reflection of someone sitting off-camera is seen in the window, but it DEFINITELY looks like a, well... a ghost. Freaked me the shit out. Oh yeah, and the song! Her voice is really something else. The cadence and the enunciation are unique to her, and it's backed up so well by her strong voice. I lerve Ingrid.
a lot of people smile through break ups...pretend everything is fine when it isn't...maybe that was her aim or just how she sings. Regardless, she is a true talent.
Wow, this is a spooky but absolutely fantastic live version of Ghost. I thoroughly enjoyed this, although a shame to say I only heard it now and not upon release.
I think its interesting that she sings so well and doesn't have to open her mouth very wide. But I love this version with just piano, and so much expression.
This version is so much more powerful than the full band one. This is just everything I love about her music.

Can't believe this masterpiece came out 10 years ago
I saw her sing this at The Beacham in Orlando, and it was an experience I will never forget. She put 100% of her emotion into it and everyone listened and cried and shut up and just felt the song. It was so beautiful.
This woman is incredible. And beautiful. In every way.
There is this moment when she got that sad smile when she sings "You make me a ghost" and boom I really felt that. Just love her!
Every time I hear this song I get shivers. It is very well written and performed. Raw. Beautiful.
So sad that I just discovered this song in the past month. I feel like I have missed out on so many years of hearing it.
those beginning chords are so beautiful, it's heartbreaking. and when she came in with the lyrics, i wondered how that much genius and talent could be concentrated in one person.
Hail to the queen! Thank you, Ingrid for your music..
Do you remember when the walls fell
Do you remember the sound that the door made when you closed it on me
Do you know that I went down
To the ground, landed on both my broken heart and knees
I didn't even cry
Because pieces of me had already died
I'm a ghost
Haunting these halls
Climbing up walls that I never knew were there
And I'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart
You know you make me a ghost
You make me a ghost
I'm an invisible disaster
I keep trying to walk but my feet don't find the solid ground
It's like living in a bad dream
I keep trying to scream but my tongue has finally lost its sound
I've got to say goodbye
To the pieces of me that have already died
I'm a ghost
Haunting these halls
Climbing these walls that I never knew were there
And I'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart
You know you make me a ghost
Oh, you make me a ghost
You make me a ghost (You take the breath all away from me, you take it away)
You make me a ghost
I don't cry
I don't try anymore
I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost
And I'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle
I'm a ghost
Haunting these halls
Climbing up walls that I never knew were there
And I'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart
You know you make me a ghost
You make me a ghost
I can't STOP listening to this, it is def one of my ultimate favourite songs, and this version is amazing Love Ingrid! Incredible!
ingrid is one of those artists who sound as good or better live as she does on her cd.
Can we just get another musical featuring your entire discography next?? 🙏🏻❤️
I thank you for being true to yourself, and never changing for anyone. THAT changes US, and makes us better people, because we look up to you.

this girl is amazing, beautiful ,talented,briliant ,organic and original
The one and Only Ingrid Michaelson.
i can say only one thing:
Directly to the Heart!
Thanks for this nice Moment.
She is the only artist I could spend my life seeing live. Every show she does is just as emotional, just as real, and just as beautiful as the one before it.

she's not only talented but one of the most beautiful persons i've ever seen
How can you not love this song? I listen to it every day.

Chris Barron Lovely comparison
i saw her play at wolf trap tonight and i definitely cried when she played this song. so much raw emotion put into such a beautiful song
Underrated QUEEN!!!
Saw her just a few nights ago- best use of money there ever was. No one else like her. What an absolute goddess.
There's something about a beautiful girl that can sing beautifully and play an instrument beautifully. That's just so attractive.
I want nothing more than to learn this song and sing it with as much passion and heartbreak as our dear Ingrid.
In a world filled with people who never understood, this was the only thing that kept me hanging on. You breathed life back into me.
I think this song just encompasses the feeling of getting your heartbroken and the emptiness you feel better than any other song i've listened to.
Tallent combined with a strong will. And her smile is amazingly attractive.
Flawlessly Stunning.
I know others have probably already had this epiphany before me but her voice reminds me of Bonnie Rait...love her talent.
I love the way she says the word "door".
This is the best song ever made.
She doesn't even need to studio to perfect her voice- it's already perfect. What an angel.
I love the exhale at 3:05

Every word and note that flows from her is captivating.
I am not an christian guy but Ingrid your Talent is God given. Best wishes from germany.
More Please.
Ingrid is so talented. She writes her own songs and sings all of them beautifully. xD
I can't stop playing this. Probably play it 5x an hour =]
She needs to make a LIVE solo album. She has such good control and dynamics when she is singing live by herself.
She is just so awesome, such a beautiful voice.
the world needs more singers like her, the real one!
OMG Ingrid, your beauty radiates from the very core of your soul
That voice of hers makes me weak at my knees.
This should have been the ONLY version of this song. It's just so emotionally powerful!
:C Ingrid's been doing 5 albums and yet after her Human Again album, she's in mainstream. Happy for her finally C:
a lot of people smile through break ups...pretend everything is fine when it isn't...maybe that was her aim or just how she sings. Regardless, she is a true talent.
come to Italy, Ingrid! You have such a great public here, you won't regret ;)
this woman is so talented. love her sensibilities
When she stops the piano at the final "i'm a ghost", i could just die
How does she make me love her so much?!
This may be the best version of any song ever...
Probably one of the best song ever...
Lovely piano, lovely voice, song and the black and white video gives yet another dimesion
I still can't believe I'll see you live in Montreal in 2 months! :D :)
Wow, this is a spooky but absolutely fantastic live version of Ghost. I thoroughly enjoyed this, although a shame to say I only heard it now and not upon release.
she deserved to be an more famous i think have too special voice , i love she
Ingrid, you're still the best!!!!!!
Oh great, now I'm gonna have an inner battle over whether I like this or the original version more... so hard to ever pick when it comes to Ingrid!
I love, love, love the way she curls her upper lip when she sings.
She is incredible!! Wish I had a voice so delicate like hers.
one word, perfection.
I think its interesting that she sings so well and doesn't have to open her mouth very wide. But I love this version with just piano, and so much expression.
I'm obsessed with this song and performance
She is perfection...i just cant even right now
All I can say is this is beautiful.
Beautiful song. Also, beautiful room. Can I live there?
Brings tears to your eyes, what a beautiful song
we love ingrid.
I love Ingrid live.
WOAH! She's absolutely gorgeous. Holy crap. O.o
thank you for this song. thank you ingrid.

you are the best person in the whole world.
I LOVE this version! I don't know why they didn't just keep it like this instead of the version on the record.
This is by far the most soul touching song that I have ever heard...You earned my sub... Bravo Miss Ingrid...
your music is my drug.
Oh my god. This is so beautiful. I started tearing up.
Your amazing Ingrid, please come to Fresno CA and perform.
