his is a ghost story. And so obviously it's beautiful. The sort of warm piano that makes you feel like you're on a show on network television that's too sentimental to be a comedy and too funny to be a drama.

This is a ghost story. And so it's actually a story about memory. The traces of people, the secrets they leave behind, the things you loved and hated and regretted about them, the things you miss about them. It's a song about where people aren't, and that's why it's fun and tragic at the same time.

This is a ghost story. You're the ghost.
