Ghost Ghost live shows feature painting by New York artist Charlie Kemmerer and experimental video art by New York filmmaker Tim Bartlett. Mark Christensen (of Stone Document) also began performing with the band in 2010. Drummer Tim Ireland performed with the band from 2008 to 2010 when he left to join Brooklyn punk band The Sharp Lads.
Ghost Ghost self-released their debut EP Time is Gravity in 2008 and followed with two more releases in 2010, Of Innocence and Experience EP and No Clothes on Ragged Island -- a full length LP inspired by the life of NYC poet Edna St. Vincent Millay.
In 2010 the song Time is Gravity was used in the season finale of World of Jenks.
Late 2010 the band released two holiday singles Please Stay for Christmas Eve and Christmas Comes Whenever You Come Home.
In 2011 the band debuted a new sound at SXSW — a more experimental indie pop approach blending vocal harmonies and a modern indie-pop songwriting approach with surprising beat juxtapositions.
In 2012 the band took a break with marriages happening, babies being born, and loved ones falling seriously ill.
In early 2013 the band marked its return with the release of the triumphant single Hey Princess also picked-up by MTV for use in the second season of World of Jenks.
A new full-length album is slated for release in autumn 2013.

Ghost Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the smoke
Of possibilities
Your clean noose
The apparatus
Force over ability
A gateway to secrecy
Spirit, absent
Spirit, absent
Seven seals
Devilish creatures
Confess the end of time
Cloven hooves
And I save wormwood
Catapult to your mind
Into the chalice of death
Spirit, absent
Spirit, absent
There's no return
From this excursion
Of possibilities
You're at the center of fate
Spirit, absent
Spirit, absent
And none of this earth inherit
The expression of my spirit
The opening line "Throw yourself into the smoke of possibilities" suggests an invitation to take risks and explore the unknown, with the smoke symbolizing uncertainty and chaos. The impression is that the singer is urging the listener not to shy away from risk-taking, despite its potentially dangerous consequences.
The verse continues with the idea of a "clean noose" and "apparatus," which could be interpreted as a form of restriction or constraint. The words "force over ability" imply that the listener may have to use brute force to achieve their goals, rather than relying on skill alone. The phrase "gateway to secrecy" evokes the sense that the listener is on the cusp of some hidden knowledge or revelation, which they may access by jumping off the ledge of their current situation.
The chorus "Spirit, absent" is repeated throughout the song, creating an ominous and hypnotic quality. The lyrics shift from the abstract to the concrete in the second verse, with "seven seals" and "devilish creatures" evoking images of the book of Revelations. The singer confesses "the end of time," and the "catapult to your mind" suggests an experience of mental and emotional instability or perhaps even madness.
The final verse repeats the chorus and ends on a somewhat ambiguous note with "none of this earth inherit the expression of my spirit." Overall, "Spirit" seems to be a call to action, embracing risk and the unknown, even if it means embracing chaos and uncertainty.

This is what can keep me up at night. That's why I don't get those apps since it'd probably scare me too much.

This vid and a bunch of other Guava Juice 3am videos bring back so many heart-warming memories of when I was younger. I remember me watching this a thousand times and actually believing it. I wish I could bring those times back when life was elementary and actually fun... 😥
