THIS song was meant to be performed this way, so we, the nostalgic people, the widows, the survivors could hold on to something that help us remember that some time ago we laughed, danced,loved and breathed the same air with the ones that are not around anymore to sing with us.... remember is to us like drinking water in the desert, so I thank you ,the one who share this with us for our memories, BREATH, WALK THIS EARTH, thanks, man !!!!!

No kidding. One of my favorite story tellers was Springsteen.

Richard Butler hit me in freshman year. With the first Furs album. Oh my god. I'd never heard anything so interesting or beautiful and this song is just so pure and haunting

This song will never die. I have loved this song ever since I was young... The acoustic performance is stunning....

EFor me this is THE song of my daughter. I played it an on my headphones an hour after I first held her and 18 years later she is stepping out the door to go to college, and as a father things will never quite be the same.....when I ok at her I always see the ghost of that wonderful little girl with a huge smile as she looked up at her Papa. That "ghost" will be the last thing I see on the moment I finally pass on. Thank you, Mr. Butler, and the wonderful, amazing Psychedelic Furs....the music of my life.

It takes you back to the girl you knew with whom you'd walk joyfully in the rain, but by yourself, you wouldn't, the moments of getting to know her, the infatuation, the emotions your heart expresses with lightening speed and your adrenaline flowing like lava while you are with her. You become deaf to the world because nothing else matters except her near you.

I don’t know why, nearly 40 years on, I woke up with this song in my head, but I had to stop watching because I can’t be walking around today with my “Yeah, I was crying” face. I am consumed with nostalgia and a longing for a simpler time. Tears of saudade. Beautiful.

I heard this song on the radio going into work in downtown Dallas, TX many years ago (10 years at least) and loved it!!! It reminded me of the Moody Blues. I tried to find it not knowing the name of the song nor the group's name. Well, today coming home from the grocery store, KXT 91.7 in Dallas played this and I pulled off the road and grabbed my phone and looked at their site to see what it was. After all these years I found it and now I'm on a venture exploring the music of the Psychedelic Furs. Amazing!!!!!

​​@@laurarominger2073Yes! I have taken so many similar, yet different, actions in pursuit to find out about a song which I just had to hear, really listen to, and discover the musician(s) and song title. I used to play a game with my first love in which we'd challenge each other to name every song and artist. He had an $800 stereo system with radio and cassette player. I had a base model vehicle with no AC and no radio. Yet, I knew the song, musician or band, the lyrics, and... although no one else would probably ever see this side of him...we would sing our feelings in song to one another. I was able to participate in vocal performance on a semi professional basis on the side of all else. He easily could have been as well. He had an unexpectedly lovely falsetto voice which he surprised me with on a beautiful summer day on the way to Swami's in northern San Diego County when I was able to rent a 1-bedroom apartment 1 block back from the beach for $450/mo between my junior and senior years of college. The Ghost in You is truly a time machine for the heart, spirit, love lost in all manner of ways, and cherished memories seemingly placed within the time portal within this tender love song. 💞🕊️💓🕊️💞

Oh yeah, I need to say that Richard and Joe Strummer and Ian Mackaye and Noam Chomsky have been the biggest influences on my thinking throughout my life. "How can you believe in them; don't believe in anything" or "this is the pulse of fools like you who sound so red and turn so blue" or "open up your eyes just to check that you're asleep again" Cmon, Richard Butler is a legendary genious.

How wonderful to hear, see, and feel them perform live...at the Ventura Theater no less...for the 3rd time during the PFs illustrious career. This song opens up the floodgates of every emotion seemingly just as intensely, if not more, than when the song was "new" versus "timeless." Many have compared The Ghost in You to a time machine: I can't disagree about where my heart, spirit, and memory return while immersed in the beauty and intensity of emotions contained within. I'm so grateful this song exists. 💞🕊️💓🕊️💞

Richard can't sit still. That is the music in him. He was born to sing.

this song gets me so weepy. reminds me of the best times of my life.

Holy Schnikies! I was born in 1970 and this song of course is very nostalgic for me being part of the soundtrack of my high school years. So many of those songs were highly produced, with synthesizers and dubbing and drum machines, etc. and the musicians in their youth. I would have totally expected that an acoustic version of this song by a what, 54 year old Richard Butler? might be painful, but dang, what a performance! And as others say below...what a voice.

Have loved Richard's voice from the moment I first heard it. Amazing version of a great song.

The voice like no other. Psychedelic Furever!

What a voice. Truly beautiful song and video. Thanks.

Baby face Rich Good ❤ 13 years later Richard Butler sounds stronger! Great version.

"Im in a mood for you" is so compelling! now and forever: think about it!

One of my favorite songs from The Psychedelic furs...I LOVE THIS ACOUSTIC VERSION!!

💥 A man in my shoes runs a light And all the papers lied tonight But falling over you Is the news of the day Angels fall like rain And love, love, love Is all of heaven away (Love, love, love, love, love) Inside you the time moves and she don't fade The ghost in you, she don't fade Inside you the time moves and she don't fade A race is on, I'm on your side And here in you, my engines die I'm in a mood for you Or running away Stars come down in you And love, love, love You can't give it away (Love, love, love, love, love) Inside you the time moves and she don't fade The ghost in you, she don't fade Inside you the time moves and she don't fade Don't you go, it makes no sense When all your talk and supermen Just take away the time And get in the way Ain't it just like rain? And love, love, love Is only heaven away (Love, love, love, love, love) Inside you the time moves and she don't fade The ghost in you, she don't fade

My favorite Furs song. Every guy has had a “Ghost in You” period in his life. I never get tired of hearing this.

What a song. What a voice. And what a great version courtesy of Rich Good one guitar. Can we hear more Furs acoustically somewhere? The songs stand up.

Bought the tape in 1986 and nothing's changed just this acoustic version is cleaner and you can hear the words better which hits you harder with even more meaning. And it makes a break up a little easier because it says what you wish you thought at the time.

My first Furs song I fell in love with in the 80s while in HS.

funny how I teared up listening to this. love Richard.

Wow...saw them more than any other band....back in "the day"....now he lives not far from me, in Beacon NY.....
