your ghost

Long time no post...and it's not due to the lack of musical obsessions, let me assure you. The latest obsession is the classic song by Kristin Hersh.

Way back when I heard a version of this song with Lisa Hannigan (Damien Rice) and I fell in love with it. More recently, I searched for this song in order to set the mood for a scene I was writing in a story. It's just so beautifully simple and haunting.

Then, out of curiosity, I decided to see what other versions were out there when I stumbled upon a Greg Laswell version of this song. Very different, but also nice. After listening to it for maybe twenty times, my husband and I watched an episode of Doll House and this version of the song was featured in that episode. Let it be known, I obsessed with it before that episode of Doll House. Anyone else completely heart broken that that show is being canceled?

Anyhow, I couldn't decide which version to post, so I'm posting all three versions that I've obsessed over because I can't get enough of this song. Enjoy.

The Lisa Hannigan version:

The Greg Laswell version (the one everyone is obsessing over at the moment, featured in Doll House and, I think, Grey's Anatomy):

Kristin Hersh with Michael Stipe (R.E.M.)--the original and my favorite version. Very haunting.
