Ghost - Dance Macabre (Official Music Video)

[@backslash68]

Ghost is what happens when somebody *really* knows how to write songs and orchestrate them in the best possible way, without overdoing anything. Hats off to Tobias, he knows his craft.

[@mrheadlessa]

I couldn't agree more, can't wait for the next album!

Extremely talented and highly underrated. I'd love to see him take on a more prominent role in future projects, but i definitely respect his humility.

"Without overdoing it" - given the shit Tobias has pulled off by now I have to politely disagree. He might be the heart of Ghost, but he's not the backbone.

Everything is done so well. My favorite part is the use of “bewitch” in the chorus. The phrase “be with you” is used often in poetry, movies, and songs, that you think it as it’s being sung, only to realize it is “bewitch”. Thus, you are the one marrying the concepts in your mind, letting the actual phrase and the implied phrase mean whatever it means to you at the moment. It could mean someone you thought loved you was using you, or it could mean you are completely and totally enraptured by your beloved…I love this dichotomous approach, and it’s one of the reasons I love Ghost so much! Their lyrics take on different meanings based on my mood, so they’re very fun to listen to multiple times over. The visuals in the videos are so strong and engaging that I can’t help but visualize them when I listen to the song without the video.

Europe was in this turmoil in the late 1340s. The plague is extremely fast. It starts off as the worst flu you’ve ever had and then it just goes worse and then you’re dead after three days. So people were lying in the streets - corpses and all the surroundings were just falling apart. All the brothels and pubs were thriving because people started partying literally like there was no tomorrow because they were gonna die. They were just going for it. “Dance Macabre” is capturing that joyous nocturnal sort of life in a disco song.
