2) Berlin-based ELI has released his latest track “Ghosts” with an accompanying video and it is exactly what the doctor ordered. An upbeat track with relatable lyrics. With a massive 70,000,000 collective streams on all platforms for his track “Change Your Mind”, this 22-year-old singer, songwriter has already set the German pop music scene ablaze. Speaking of the new track, ELI says “‘Ghosts’ is about that moment after a breakup when you feel incredibly lonely, yet, at the same time, you have a feeling that this person you parted ways with is still haunting you. Like a ghost by your side, that doesn’t let go”.
Born into a showbiz family, ELI was always sure that he wanted to make music, it just took him time to find his niche. Having learnt everything from the drums to the violin, it wasn’t until he found the guitar that his passion truly emerged. This young popstar has been splitting his time between L.A. and Germany, writing new music and playing top festivals. Last year saw ELI played the mainstage at Lollapalooza, as well as selling out a 14-date tour across Germany. With an exuberant sound that echoes Post Malone, ELI is certainly one to watch as his effortless voice feels like a tonic for current troubles.

Eli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Oh she woke me up last night)
Ember body oh so bright
(Oh ember body oh so bright)
I walked into the light
(Oh I walked into the light)
Baby please, you'll be fine
(Oh baby please you'll be alright)
I've never felt so alive now
Oh I watched her walk away
(Oh I watched her walk away)
My broken body I decay
(I'm fallin' down I'll be gone for a while now)
Oh I wish there was a way
(Oh I wish there was a way)
Any way to make you stay
(If you're down you gon' feel my pain)
I'm alive but I died that day
Don't wait for me
You're all I need
The lyrics in "Ghosts" by Eli are quite haunting and open to interpretation. The song starts with the singer being woken up in the middle of the night by a ghostly figure. The use of the word "ember body" suggests that this figure is emitting some kind of light or heat, which could represent the passion or emotions the singer feels. The ghost then leads the singer towards the light, encouraging him to let go of his fears and embrace life. However, the singer realizes that he is dying and won't be able to stay with this ghostly figure forever. He expresses his desire for the ghost to stay with him, but in the end, he concludes that he only needs her and that she should not wait for him.
The lyrics of "Ghosts" could be interpreted as a metaphor for love and how it can both invigorate and haunt us. The image of the ghost could be a representation of a lover or a past relationship that still haunts the singer. The singer is conflicted between letting go of the past and embracing the present, but realizes that ultimately, he only needs his lover to be happy.
Overall, "Ghosts" by Eli is a beautifully haunting song with deeply emotional lyrics that can resonate with anyone who has ever had to let go of a past love.
