SOTW: Your Ghost, Kristin Hersh

It takes a special song to stop you in your tracks. Your Ghost doesn't just stop you in your tracks. It covers you in goosebumps, makes your hair stand on end. It's full of melancholy poetry, a simple guitar, strings, and one of the most beautifully gritty voices since Patti Smith. But somehow it's more than just the sum of its parts. The sum of its parts would make an amazing song, true, but not a song this compelling, this heartbreaking. And it's more than just Michael Stipe's backing vocals that make it so.

10/10
