1) Ghost, also … Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists sharing the moniker Ghost;
1) Ghost, also formerly known as Ghost B.C. in the United States, is a Swedish hard rock band that was formed in Linköping in 2006. In 2010, they released a three-track demo followed by a 7-inch vinyl titled "Elizabeth", and later their debut full-length album Opus Eponymous. The song "Ritual" was chosen by Kerrang! as one of "The 50 Most Evil Songs Ever." The Grammis-nominated album was widely praised and significantly increased their popularity. Their second album and major label debut, Infestissumam, was released in 2013, debuted at number one in Sweden, and won the Grammis Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Album. The band released their third studio album, Meliora, in 2015 to much critical acclaim and high record sales, reaching number one in their home country of Sweden, and number eight in the United States. Its lead single, "Cirice", earned them the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. The band released their fourth studio album, Prequelle, in 2018. The band released their fifth studio album, Impera, in 2022.
Ghost is easily recognizable owing greatly to its eccentric on-stage presence. Seven of the group's eight members, its 'Nameless Ghouls', wear virtually identical, face-concealing costumes. Prior to a 2017 lawsuit filed by former members of the band, lead singer Tobias Forge obscured his identity behind the character "Papa Emeritus". The character, which consists of Forge in a prosthetic mask and makeup, can be best described as a 'demonic anti-pope'. The Papa Emeritus Character has gone through five incarnations - I, II, III, Nihil, and IV. From the release of the 2018 album Prequelle and subsequent world tour, Forge portrayed a character known as "Cardinal Copia", who is described as being unrelated to any of the Papa Emeritus characters and whose costume consists of either Cardinal vestments or a black or white tuxedo alongside a prosthetic mask with black eye makeup and the multi-colored eyes which had been present in each Papa character. In March 2020, at the final show of A Pale Tour Named Death, Forge once again assumed the mantle of Papa Emeritus.
Ghost's music has been categorized in many genres, critics have classified them as hard rock, heavy metal, doom metal, pop rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, occult rock, and arena rock. Adrien Begrand of PopMatters stated that Ghost recalls "the early sounds of Black Sabbath, Pentagram, and Judas Priest, as well as the progressive and psychedelic rock of the late '60s." Speaking to Noisey.com, a Nameless Ghoul described Ghost as a black metal band in the traditional sense, but said that they probably do not fit into the norms of the current black metal scene. This Nameless Ghoul described Ghost's music as a mix between pop music and death metal.
In an interview, a Nameless Ghoul said they are influenced by "everything ranging from classic rock to the extreme underground metal bands of the '80s to film scores to the grandeur of emotional harmonic music." A member of the band said the Swedish and Scandinavian black metal movement of the early '90s plays a major role in their act, and said that each member has come from a metal background. However, the band has stated several times that they do not aim to be a metal band. For their second album, Ghost chose a more diverse songwriting style; a member said, "we tried to deliberately have every song have its own signature."
Only a few members actually write songs. The writers compose an acoustic outline of songs before other instrumentation is added so it sounds like a group, rather than being dominated by guitar. In 2017, Forge claimed that he was the main author of every song except "Year Zero" and "Zenith", which were Persner's ideas. Asked how he keeps Ghost's sound intact despite large lineup changes, Forge said he has to teach them to play like he does; explaining that while he is a good guitar player, he is only an "okay" drummer, bassist and keyboardist. So it is a matter of getting them to "underperform [laughs] together."
2) Ghost is an experimental rock group formed in Tokyo, Japan, in 1984.
Core-member Masaki Batoh grew up in Kyoto, Japan where he attended a private school. During this time, he became interested in American and British rock music ranging from Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd to the Velvet Underground and Japanese rock bands such as the Taj Mahal Travellers and the Flower Travellin' Band.
Later, Batoh formed Ghost with a large and often varying lineup. According to reports posted on Allmusic, the group lived a nomadic existence, drifting from ruins of ancient temples to disused subway stations around the Tokyo area.
The band began releasing their work with the albums Ghost and Second Time Around, which were released, respectively, in 1991 and 1992. The American independent label Drag City licensed each of the albums for distribution, and the Los Angeles The Now Sound label picked up two of Batoh's solo albums, released together as well under the title Collected Works. Two albums, Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet and Snuffbox Immanence, were released simultaneously in 1999.
As well as their own work, Ghost have recorded and performed with the ex-Galaxie 500 duo Damon and Naomi. Five years after releasing both Snuffbox Immanence and Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet, Ghost returned with Hypnotic Underworld, and there were some changes in the band. Cellist Hiromichi Sakamoto and percussionist Setsuko Furuya left and were replaced by a rhythm section of Takuyuki Moriya (electric bass guitar, double bass, and cello) and Junzo Tateiwa (drums, tabla, and percussion). In January 2007, Ghost released its latest studio album titled In Stormy Nights.
3) A British hip hop/trip hop/electronic producer on the Breakin Bread label who has an impressive discography dating back to 2003. Their body of work includes three solo albums, a collaborative group album, a dynamic mix CD, a series of 12-inch vinyl releases, captivating EPs, and two digital download albums filled with remixes and unreleased tracks. Ghost has left an indelible mark on the music scene through extensive touring, while also maintaining a strong presence as a skillful DJ and a regular radio performer.
Initially rooted in the world of Hip Hop as a dedicated enthusiast (a passion that endures), Ghost's artistic evolution over the past eight years has been noteworthy. This period has seen a deliberate expansion of musical horizons, embracing genres beyond Hip Hop. Notably, Ghost has delved into the realms of Wonky, Electronic beats, Future Beats, and Bass, demonstrating an impressive versatility that resonates with diverse audiences.

Call Me Little Sunshine
Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For when else would I hear you?
Fall out in the cold starlight
I can save you if you do
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
Light up in the middle of the day
For how else could you see me?
Ease up to the hunter from the prey
And transform indefinitely
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Even when you're dead and gone
You can always reach me
All you gotta do is call me, call me
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone

The Ghost song "Call Me Little Sunshine" is a haunting and enigmatic tribute to the power of connection, even in the darkest of times. The lyrics suggest a deep and abiding relationship between two individuals, with the singer serving as a kind of guardian or source of light for their companion. The repeated chorus of "Call me Little Sunshine" and "Call me, call me Mephistopheles" adds a layer of ambiguity to the song, suggesting that the bond between the two individuals may be complex and even dangerous.
The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer imploring their companion to call out to them in the middle of the night. The suggestion is that the singer is always available to help and protect their companion, even in the darkest and most frightening moments. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer suggesting that their companion needs them in order to "see" or understand the world. The repetition of the line "You will never walk alone" underscores the idea that the singer is always present, always available, and always ready to help.
The chorus of "Call me Little Sunshine" is both playful and ominous. The nickname "Little Sunshine" suggests warmth, light, and affection, while the name "Mephistopheles" is a reference to the demon in German folklore who makes deals with people in exchange for their soul. The contrast between these two names underscores the idea that the relationship between the two individuals is complicated and potentially dangerous. Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the ways in which we rely on other people, even in the bleakest of circumstances.

I know I am not alone when I say this band saved my life. I'm not just talking "I had a bad and it picked me up."
I am in the fight of my life with cancer for the 2nd time in 6 years which my team of doctors said was impossible. IT COULD NEVER COME BACK. Yet here I am fighting not only the disease but all my mental, emotional, and spiritual things that come with it.
I have bed ridden for a couple months now and watching ANYTHING Ghost gets me through.
I'm near Chicago so there are opps to see them almost if not every cycle and I look forward to the day of being front row...
Tobias and Ghost family, please, please know you have so much more of an impact than being a band. You speak for those who can't and there is a special place in hell for each of you.
With all the love I possess
Kim

@strangekitty
Definitely one of my personal favorite lyrics... Whether he's talking about the devil, the supernatural, or anything else... Lost love. R.I.P to mine, and may everyone who has ever lost somebody... know they're not alone...
Oh, and as a sidenote, my longtime friend that I just happened to run into a couple weeks ago, told me that he thought it was time for a new nickname, mine being "Kitty/Strange" or some violation for a good 20+ years now. I said, Ok, then... "Little Sunshine Kitty Strange"... ❣️🐱😸🎉 Happy Birthday to Me!!
