Freelance Whales - Ghosting

Weathervanes - 2009

[@josefkay5013]

This song walked with me through eight long years of incarceration. I never skipped it when it shuffled in on my prison-issued mp3 player. It always calmed me and helped me recall the people who love me, the whole reason I was dragging myself through it day after day.

[@tmiffyc]

Time passes. The feeling remains.

[@わびサビ-f9o]

True that ma’am

[@Saubey]

Their songs always make me think of a band of gnomes travelling through a forest, gathering people as they go and playing delightful music. In the best way.

[@ritwikpriyadarshi961]

i remember listening to this song in 2012, still reminds me of my days in arakansas, good times they were, ill always miss you julie :')

[@rosiesdewband1353]

Nearly 10 years later goddamn

[@ShebbaRod]

There´s a terribly sad feeling in this song...

[@KevMayuga]

My favorite song to listen to on amazing headphones

[@YBGucci]

RIP Chuck, what an amazing time ive had enjoying this song over the years. Thank you

[@pp9pp7oo9]

this song just makes me feel okay and my worries fly away for a couple minutes

[@locketdown]

This song takes me away. Wherever I am, no matter what mood I'm in, or what kind of day I've had,this song sweeps me off my feet and takes me into a world without words, just happy, peaceful, nothingness.

[@sluttysloth2066]

Those first 20 seconds have broken my heart

[@sassy7215]

Wow. I had no idea Darren's brother was in this. I discovered their music while wandering around Fashion's Night Out, happening upon their unbelievable music in a store and wound up staying for what felt like hours. I also ran into my cousin's girlfriend, and found out her sister is marrying the drummer. Not only can I say that I love their music but when she introduced me to them they were so incredibly nice and talented and humble. Simply an amazing band, with amazing music. Enough said.

[@morgandiegel]

their songs are amazing...so calming and beautiful

[@postcards.to.myself]

10 years later. Wow. Still so incredibly good.

[@LoveThievesMusic]

thank you basement* for showing me such an amazing song

[@hannahbelle44]

this song is so incredibly beautiful. its the only song i know that can repeat the same thing over and over and never get old.

[@gatorchomper07]

[@ItchyPotato]

Favourite song by them...

[@dreamdaily94]

they have such a unique sound

[@StephaniePetrova]

I remember seeing them perform this live. It was so beautiful. I didn't even know about them then.

[@SeeGuitarRun]

Great show in New Haven, CT last night you all rock!

[@chiiosandoval]

How much I've been missing.. I'm glad I found this band

[@paulcwy]

Thanks Jenks!

[@MoistCrayon]

@hottypiollina That is very true.... I love most Indie bands... And I love the fact that some people try and compare music to me, and I can introduce them to New, Wonderful Bands they other wise may never hear.... Then again sometimes, I'm kinda selfish and save my favorites for just me, or REALLY good friends, I know will love the music..... And not just say they do because it's "Cool"

[@ThatsTooSmall]

this is my favorite song as of now. and probably for a while.

[@PiaAndradeBraganza]

I was listening to Lucius (a band) on soundcloud and they brought me here. Both bands are pure awesomness.

[@Jenesuispaslui]

me too

[@Jenesuispaslui]

is this the original version?

[@domenicacolina8166]

it is possible LOL

[@PiaAndradeBraganza]

Yep, Lucius' was just a cover, but it was so good

[@nealpatten]

Lucius just recorded & released this song and that’s what brought me here!

[@dreamdaily94]

I can't believe I even let myself forget how flawless freelance whales are.

[@seanthephoenix]

People should take notes from this on how to make beautiful music.

[@lizzywho569]

omg this song is so relaxing. i love it :D

[@BananaHMouse]

this song is magical :3

[@AwesomeRuby]

looooove this

[@yake12]

@awsomellyawsome oh really? wow, that makes everything sooo much more clear. Thank you for that amazing piece of information.

[@bluesnowdrop1439]

I'm so glad I clicked on this :)

[@dreamdaily94]

probably one of my all-time favorite Freelance Whales song... or just song in general.

[@woodstockroxify]

im in love

[@iamprayingfortheend]

BASEMENT!

[@70013711]

attic

[@x1xDarkangel]

this song makes u wanna look at ur life closer

[@Crossroads551]

Great song very mellow

[@numbersmile]

It's so beautiful!

[@Loki1620]

So glad Grooveshark had Freelance Whales backgrounds that led me to their awesomeness over a year ago...

[@FruitLoopErika]

I feel like an idiot for just discovering this. These people. This music. I only discovered it because Darren Criss told Ellen his brother in this (and fangirl me went "OOOHHH AAHHH :D"), and I feel like an IDIOT because they're bloody AMAZING.

[@Yori708]

Absolutely awesome

[@cynicalsugar1455]

Thanks Hiddles!

[@SomethingBlue1342]

it's amazing how their musc actually flows in the rythm that a whale swims, it's so /graceful/

[@Mikeydmc1]

Reminds me of Death Cab for Cutie

[@MoistCrayon]

@wishesoutofairplanes I have some more.... Neon Hitch... She does some covers, But I love her voice... The Postal Service, Natasha Bedingfield... Kerli... Not the same Genre,But I love her. Off with her head... It is a local band here in North Texas, But It is SIMPLY Beautiful....

[@MrSeanMDolan]

i'm here because i was looking at my favourite bieber, one direction videos and this mainstream band came up on adds...

[@12wafflesandpancakes]

I heard this band mentioned on a question and answer series on KZbin. I thought I'd come check it out. Now I have downloaded at least 8 of their songs. I didn't know what Chuck was Darren's brother for ages. I love both for different reasons and both are so amazingly talented and brilliant. How lucky their patents must be.

[@judithdelat]

Love the voice of Judah the mayority of his song transport to a completely different place

[@iron_buddha]

best stuff i've heard in a while

[@RuthyNsn]

I love freelance whales. You guys are amazing.

[@wowgoshdarnit]

Still entrancing.

[@MoistCrayon]

@Saubey I was thinking something VERY similar.... This band is my ADDICTION now.... I utterly Love them.

[@MoonShoesPotter89]

aaaah bliss.... :)

[@AYOjammin]

i found a new love

[@biqesadilla]

This is awesome.

[@DRG1027]

Idk I think its interesting to see how people heard of certain artists. I found out about them from an unlikely band- Basement in their documentary Basement and America. I personally think its interesting that a band like them led me HERE. and now I can fully enjoy Freelance Whales with the rest of you.

[@nycolas1712]

Excellent.

[@Conquer69]

This song helps me think less. Thanks for the escape Freelance Whales.

[@wishesoutofairplanes]

it's sad that there is not even a quarter of a mil. views for this song...they deserve a massive fan base.

[@dianonethewiser]

"the reason my molars are so broken is, i spend too much time ghosting with the likes of you and yours. the reason my insides are so swollen is, i spend too much time ghosting with the likes of you and yours..."

[@krisicism1392]

Do you ever play with kids in the basement Soot upon your face so you were a hot mess All your little molars cracked in the pressure Come here little sister, let's get you to bed But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay Oh I am never on my way Do you ever run with him in the morning Think about jumping over the back fence Seven different places need a bitter mending All we use are eyes to fill in most the gaps But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay Oh I am never on my way The reasons my molars are so broken Is I spend too much time ghosting With the likes of you and yours The reasons my insides are swollen Is I spend too much time ghosting With the likes of you and yours

[@krisicism1392]

Can't believe it's been 10 years

[@Ziggmiester797]

I found this off of someones Tumblr. (: It's peaceful & serene songs like this that made me completely ditch screamo. I think that's a good thing.

[@mdp311]

such a chill band. almost reminds me of the postal service.

[@JommoT]

i dont normally buy music... im a BIG lady gaga fan and i ashamedly admit i didnt buy her albums :x (i went to her concert and brought heaps of merch dw :P) But for this band... WOW they are amazing. buying off itunes. IMMEDIATELY.

[@dogmosatchmo]

This is an incredible, overlooked album....

[@evolotonnotolove]

Dogmo Satchmo indeed

[@hanasaurusrex]

my new favorite band fo'realz :D

[@knifjul7]

im gonna look bck at this song and itz gonna remind me of being a teenager...just hanging out in my room...walking to skool...laughing with friends...and having a crush on Mr.Perfect:):)

[@PenguinsWrite]

@AceAndThings I actually tried to look that up, but I would have to become a member to use the search bar. I believe you, of course, and I prefer your interpretation over mine. Thanks!

[@chojinosebest]

Yes! So good. They're playing for free at my local record store soon! Yipee!!!

[@AceAndThings]

"But, yes, the record is also about this pre-adolescent love story between a young boy and this ghost that occupies his house. ‘Ghosting’, for instance, is about him observing what she does around the house and he is sort of thinking that some day when he passes on he will have to take responsibility for her, so he’s kind of trying to emulate her."

[@OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

@TheOzzMan22 i kno the feeling. showing people music is the best. you feel like you own the band and everyone you showed only shares the band haha.

[@mElLowzzzzz]

@mollrox531 We would have to pay money to view the videos, if Vevo and the advertisements didn't step in. Be thankful KZbin is still free.

[@RuthyNsn]

This is a lullaby.

[@lightpaw]

@adamazingsauce Chuck Criss, brother of a recently popular Darren Criss. he sent me here, and I'm glad I came =)

[@crv110]

@MuDkIpZBIP I love it when music does that. It happens to me too.

[@Lyghtsparroh]

*Cries thinking how insanely in love he is.*

[@dewdroppedrose]

Slightly reminds me of MGMT... love it :D

[@STFilmss]

Reminds me of Sigur Ros.

[@foxpawx]

I like songs that remove you from the world and bring you to that place that only you can go to.

[@OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

i love this music. musicthat makes you feel. music to listen to while driving with the windows down, looking at the skyline and thinking about everything good or bad. k that was a really gay thing to say but i mean it!

[@wishesoutofairplanes]

@MoistCrayon you're amazing! it's gonna be awhile til i can take the time to look through all of your suggestions. i have 6 finals in the next two weeks.....

[@BelleTheStarkid]

I discovered your comment by going on KZbin.

[@06livefast]

thank you yelawolf

[@jessicachiy]

i get lost in this song, i dont even feel human when i listen to it

[@MoistCrayon]

@darrencrissisHOT EXACTLY... I mean. I want people to know of their Awesomeness, but I do enjoy having "Secret Music" Just for me and a rainy day..... lol I completley understand what you are saying..... I feel the Exact same way about Freelance Whales.... :)

[@jacobmckee8593]

I listened to this when I was depressed about being gay.

[@graypocius]

ThePoonDoctor better gay and human than straight and human lets b real

[@roy-trigodav3278]

I am you from the past

[@coolio4ify]

Me too 😢

[@RavenMckayla]

@FruitLoopErika HAHA, I feel the exact same way! But I actually heard Darren Criss mention one of their songs in an interview! I'm obsessed now(:

[@SmokedLivvy]

@chloeekv "organic" "my brothers band" "organic" "freelance whales" "organic" "Proud" "organic" :L gotta love him

[@rowink90]
