Dessa "Call Off Your Ghost" (Music Video)

[@christyolson422]

"I don't think badly of her. I hope she makes you happy. It's just a lot to ask to watch your future walking past me." beautiful lines

[@douglashurd8652]

Definitely

[@OliviaGrace-jg8pf]

The. Fact that this line is the song for me. Like every line is amazing but that's the line that brings me here every time. Everything stops for a second for me when she says that. And then tonight I came here to hear it AGAIN FOR THAT EXACT LINE and your comment is the first I see. Is an affirmation you didn't even know you were leaving specifically for me... 10 years ago. Life dude. ❤

[@changman]

It was an honor being able to perform for Dessa in South Africa 🇿🇦 spend quite a bit of time with her too which was amazing, one extremely intelligent and beautifully captivating woman, much respect Dessa, still performing to tens of thousands of people to this day, heres to 2024 and beyond!

[@miriam5047]

This was one of the first Dessa songs I ever heard, and years later I find myself coming back to it again and again. It's up there on my list of best romance songs because it captures so beautifully a reality that most romance songs don't: one where a romance ends not because of a tragic disaster, or scandal, or cheating, or similar dramatics, but because these two people just don't work together anymore. And yet it still *hurts*. You know rationally that it's for the best, that you both agreed to part ways, that it's no one's fault, that you'll get over it and find someone who fits you better...but right now, it *hurts*. It *hurts so damn much*, no matter how much you try to be a sensible, mature adult about it. Humans just aren't rational creatures. So yes, sometimes you gotta cut the ex out of your life because it's the only way you can move on. Maybe someday you'll be able to hang out with them as friends, maybe even look back on your lives together and laugh, but that time is not now.

When you finally catch up on Night Vale and you need to listen to this song again and you find two month's worth of Night Vale fans who did exactly the same thing.

[@phantomgrim210]

✋️

[@ivorianiaphillips]

God, I fucking love this song: its raw emotions, its pain of moving on. The story is fantastic. Bless you, Dessa

[@toniferrari1888]

She deserves to be WAY BIGGER.. her talent is limitless and her sound is amazing..

[@wolflikearts]

This song helped me get through something fierce with that same smirk. Harsh breakup and after listening to this a few bits I can't say I really care anymore, life goes on. The weather was good that day.

[@zombiehype]

that feeling of someone you loved still lingering.. around the foods you eat, the music you listen to, the sadness behind your smiles. their shell is still around in all the things you do because everything reminds you of them.. makes me wonder if my ghost is lingering too

[@chrismuncy48]

That voice and that jawline... no one should be this talented and beautfiul!

[@VTPPGLVR]

I think you can hear the awesome harmony much better in the live performance.

[@weirdhobby]

she was great live! :D

[@beccarchive]

Deborah L. Their energy was fantastic live

[@ChrisDeRoin]

Deborah L.Dessa and Aby Wolf are beyond goosebumps live!

[@dumdristig]

The best is when she performs with the MN Orchestra. Sublime doesn't do it justice. Best... concerts... ever...

[@MrCatBaggins]

I have so much respect for Dessa and the incredible music that she creates. Parts of Speech is such a great album.

[@Scampist]

papes never ceases to amaze me with the variety of beats he can pull off

[@dgh329]

Wish you were all here cuz Dessa is an amazing artist....

[@SplyBox]

+Chad Milford Well her being on Night Vale, and being amazing, brought me here. You gotta find new music somehow.

[@MiraVioIet]

She is an amazing artist and NightVale helped some new people find out about her music. Why u mad?

[@a7x4lrev]

Idk who the fuck Night Vale is. I'm here for Dessa

[@gurogod5163]

+a7x4lrev it's a show :v

[@steampoweredpines3485]

its a podcast. its about a. town that isnt connected to our world and time doesnt exist. Cecil (the narrator) is host a radio broadcast for night vale. he tells you all the weird news and the weather as you have seen from the other comments are songs and this is just one of them. currently there is 95 ep. sorry if i was unclear, you should listen to it it perfect for doing with things like drawing chores or going to sleep! plus it really funny. :3 - AГl μA!l th€ M¡Gμt¥ G|¤￦ ©l°ud (translation: all hail the mighty glow cloud)

[@leannakekai162]

What a great song! I found it during the “weather” segment of a “Welcome to Nightvale” episode.

[@BunnieDaniChan]

I couldn't stop listening to the song after old oak doors part A i think,i love the tune at the end,that beautiful toy piano at the end,came here because of Night vale!!!

[@Bestyboy246]

I can't imagine her not existing. Perfectly imperfect person with perfectly imperfect music.

[@alushkajansenvanvuuren5697]

I have listened to this song minimum of 10 times these past two days and I KEEP GETTING GOOSEBUMPS! Amazing style of music and beautiful lyrics too!

[@TripOptics]

I was introduced to Dessa through Doomtree, and I have become a big fan. Great musician, songwriter, poet, and singer. Keep up the good work the new album is amazing. Nothing makes me happier then spending my money on great music. Thanks.

[@anneadler8944]

I'm in love with Dessa

[@novaleigh6562]

This song is badass! Best breakup song!!!

[@thechetearly]

Also, that beat is just so, so sick.

[@NikoNoniDK]

I constantly cry because Dessa isn't on the WTNV European tour shows... It's my DREAM to see her live

[@NortheastBreeze69]

Cool parallel for not just breakups but to separate from your vices and demons

[@audibleintellect2450]

BARS

[@TheExcallibacca]

The bridge is probably the most haunting yet fantastic thing I have ever heard

[@vonaya]

Dessa always seems to have the perfect lyrics that describe exactly what I'm going through at different times in my life. I can't wait to hear all of the new album!

[@mikeg853]

I wish I had heard this song on the top 100 and not an underground radio station. Phenomenal.

[@Lyssa469]

Absolutely love this song! Surprisingly the first time I heard it was on the radio... My jaw dropped.

[@vamploboluv17]

Love Her!!! Minneapolis is back on the Talented Music Map. I'm proud of my State.

[@soulspiritdebv]

Just saw her with Night Vale. Amazing.

[@dragon53777]

I've always really connected to this song. Beautifully haunting.

[@samanthajo7774]

Love love love her

[@BrotherRabbit]

The evolution of an artist outside of time and genre, inside all of her fans hearts and minds. Amazing to watch this progression. See you again in Portland. -Brother Rabbit =:xB

[@linklanre]

The artist deserve more fame

[@alpha6games751]

Dessa and K.flay are two of the best female mcs out there and very different.

[@digismile1]

[@nicholelong2122]

OMG I Love Dessa you aren't alive until you see her live. DESSA IF YOU ARE READING THIS I LOVE YOU!! (p.s. I also have a cousin named Dessa lol)

[@BBlackdark]

[@MrCatBaggins]

Dessa makes such great music.

[@dragon53777]

I hope to get this album....I need a Dessa record...it's like she sings this other side of me...

[@dustinnhopee1844]

Loveliness ❤

[@GeminiEye1314]

Excellent Dessa. Can't wait for you to come back to STL. WINGS AND TEETH

[@homosoftommorow]

This is great

[@opalwolf12]

Saw Dessa preform this and several other songs at the chapel hill WTNV live show, she is simply amazing. Wonderful stage presence, beautiful voice.

[@percym.6108]

I saw her at the premier show in Philly. Wasn't it great? I ended up getting her signature.

[@opalwolf12]

Claudia M. Oh sweet! Chapel hill was the third show, I believe. I was unable to get her signature, I was only able to get a tour shirt. Had to drive hours and had school the next day, and the line for her was backed up a stairset, while the shirt line was so very much shorter.

[@aspenrider6280]

I had to come watch it again and again

[@gogistyle19]

how is it only 27k views... dessa you're amazing, I wish I get to see you live some day!

[@BlueZephor]

I'd like to say... I first heard this song on spotify's discover weekly. But I did hear it on WTNV later,

[@pertiviroil6287]

Dessa, please come to finland! We wait for you x1000000!! ps you're awesome!

[@acestapanther6347]

she is such a beautiful singer

[@FourEyesFive]

Came here from Welcome to Nightvale, and I've been obsessed with her since hearing her weather.

[@MellsyBaby]

Saw her and abby in fort Lauderdale. So amazing♡

[@dexeron]

Kayla Johnson-Farmer That part when she walked out in the audience during "Warsaw" and told everyone to shine their phone flashlights on her.

[@MusicLover-ko1mq]

dexeron Can you please check out this song I produce kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ_SdISdl7d5oKs

[@lukewallace216]

So pretty. Visually this is one of the better things I've seen in a long time.

[@yoface111]

"Dessa's" music is so phenomenally good, that when I hear it live I wonder why they ever recorded it. But then I get to hear it again, and it is So Fucking great. Thank you Dessa.

[@greengrl29]

Couldn't love her more. She says what I don't have the voice to. 💚

[@RandomQueenKJ]

I got to hear this live tonight in Nashville and it was simply amazing! The bass drops were on point! Thanks for the awesome show!!!

[@cyne-burhmallory792]

This song and video gave me goosebumps. Chills up my spine. Perfect.

[@yoface111]

"Dessa's" music is so penomenally good when I hear it in my ears live, that I dont know why they ever recorded it. Then I remember how fucking great it is.

[@finleyperry9795]

HOW no matter how many times I watch this video it's still AMAZING!!!!

[@TheNukeGeneral]

I will never not love this song.

[@gamessamus]

[@bananas99]

This woman is amazing. AbyWolf and Dessa weave their voices to touch souls...way too deep. Saw you in Columbia awhile back on a cold and nasty night. Will see you again in KC!
