Caro Emerald finally gifted a music video for the single “The ghost of you” to her loyal fan base.
The haunting ballad, written by David Schreurs and Vincent Degiorgio, is taken from “Emerald island” EP, released last March. It contains six tracks including two instrumental songs and was inspired by the exotica genre of music, popular in the 50/60’s.
The clip for “The ghost of you”, directed by Donald Roos, is perfect for Halloween with creepy elements: a dark house, squeaking floors, shadows on the wall, moving wallpaper and footsteps in the air…
Lyrics:
It’s 4 AM, I sashay with myself
Couples all surround me
So in love, eyes all aglow
Oh, say you found me
All my steps are memorized
Swaying to a rhythm so nice
Patterns of my feet, tattoo the floor
They’re frozen there like ice
I dance with the ghost of you
What else can I do?
You seem too far from view
So I dance with the ghost of you
Defying everything, I stay on the floor
Advances are effective
I’m not saying a thing to a soul
To keep my heart protected
Sirens think I get in their way
Their logic won’t compute
Instead, I’m adding up the hours I spend
With everyone but you
I dance with the ghost of you
What else can I do?
You seem too far from view
So I dance with the ghost of you
They say there’s not much difference between a good man and a long drag from a cigarette
Sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don’t
And sometimes you need it, and sometimes you don’t
But no one likes a ghost
I dance with the ghost of you
What else can I do?
You seem too far from view
So I dance with the ghost of you
