My son passed away this last year november 9 2019 and this album is in his vinyl collection. It reminds me of him. I dream him sometimes and have asked him in a dream are you real? He always responds of course i am i hug him and then he dissapears. He always feels so real. This song always comforts me.
Huggssss I'm so sorry. Let Ghost give you comfort.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my uncle about a week ago and this reminds me of him for some reason. It's the same calm feeling y'know?
I’m so sorry Carla 🥲❤️
@@shnibzzz Thanks
@WAFFEN COLLIDER Thanks
"In the night, I am real." I love how spooky and mysterious, yet strangely uplifting, this lyric is.
That was a good line
Roky Erickson was definitely a lyrical genius.
It's straight poetry
My favourite line is "forever is the wind in the night". I don't really know why I like that line so much, but it just moves something in me.
Man, Tobias' speech at Rite Here Rite Now hit me in the feelings now I can't stop thinking about this song
I love Tobias Forge's voice is so magical
I come from the Cinema to listen this again
Nice 🤘🏼
the truth of the matter is if you have Ghost you really do have everything
Music=Life man. 🤘🏻
@@RobTheBunny76 you're right about that. I have it inked on my neck
3:13 This riff hits the heart
THANK ROKY ERICKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, what's up
@@zemog1025REAL let him live on through ghost
1:31 For me, it's this one. 313-131 🤘
I don't know but this song somehow makes me feel kind of sad and at the same time energetic and nostalgic...why is that?
this and waiting for the night to fall gets those feels
Ghost blends the perfect amount of the sublime and melancholy, I know what you mean...
+Martin Rodriguez It makes me feel nostalgic, but then at the end, I feel sort of really powerful, like victory.
Songs like this remind us that we are more than simple flesh. We have the power to convey not just our emotions, but our very thoughts through music and language. That is the surest sign that magic exists.
This song was originally written by Roky Ericson. a musical genius with schizophrenia. Music was how he dealt with the madness still threatens to over take him. His music resonates with the fear and the euphoria gained from each narrow victory against his pain.
+Martin Rodriguez too much acid and weed and coke
I love songs that somehow work for the fandom, I mean the lyrics sound like it talking to us (the weird, the lonely and the hopeless) is like Ghost was telling us that they are here for us 😊
Definitely!!!
It was some good lyrics
Yes
Ghost fills a void so many of us have. Whatever your pain is, Ghost is the best medicine. They have lifted me out of depression, given me something to delight in, disintegrated the religious dogma I was raised with, and freed me from fear. They are spreading love and acceptance and making people feel like they’re in on the secret to liberation. Embracing Ghost has changed my life. Eternally.
If you have Roky Erickson as your ghost, you have everything.
jaja si
Great Roky, always in our hearts. We love you Roky. See you soon mate
Watch his documentary. Remember seeing it way back. Think it came out in 2005
THIS 1000000000000000000%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's up
Papa's voice is so wonderful. Ghost is just one of those bands that makes me feel good.
AGREED
My cat passed away this morning and his name was Ghost. Every morning after I would get off my night shift or anytime I'd see him and I'd instantly start singing this song to him since he was a kitten. I'd always carry him til I got to my door step and I'd place him on his favorite chair.
rip ghost the cat....later homie
+sluggz956 r.i.p.
+Jeremy's Aura I appreciate it. I'm sure he's chasing rats and shit like that in the afterlife.

😢 Are you from the valley?
+TheLiZabe89 yup? Are you as well?
This band really have a fantastic sensibility for melody and they are just fantastic musicians all round. Just listen to the guitar solo, not at all contrived in any way. As James Hetfield said, they are a breath of fresh air in the stale world of rock and metal these days.
My problem is that their image kinda misrepresents their music. It makes them look like the typical Slipknot-ish antimelodic band that just screams and smashes the instruments. It makes them look very hardcore when they are more about melody.
DarthUno Who cares? I think the fact that their image is tongue-in-cheek satanic, adds a unique dimension to their melodic music. It adds a sinister edge to it. They are too sinister to be pop or rock, yet they are too melodic to be brutal metal. What were merciful fate or king diamond then? Their music was
Grimeyhoob Actually, a lot of people, including me think that their image gets in the way of their softer music. I never said they are bad, though. They're talented guys.
DarthUno Opinions are just that, opinions. Their image is immaterial to their music
Grimeyhoob Hey, I never said my opinion was more important than anyone else's, just remember that logic goes both ways. Actually, the image is half the band. Do you even know what you're talking about? Without an image all band would suck live, and they wouldn't attract any attention. What I'm saying is the image, which is what you notice first, gives a completely different impression than the music itself. That takes time getting used to, and I think it's a terrible move and that it gets in the way of their music. I'm not saying that they're a bad band, it's just that both me, and lots of other people, don't like them for that reason. If you DO like the fact that their image and music is way different, that's completely fine. Also, it's funny that James Hetfield said "they're a breath of fresh air" when Metallica is doing nothing but the same shit over and over, even when every single album that's come out since the 90's has utterly flopped.
If you have ghosts
You have everything
If you have ghosts
You have everything
You can say anything you want
And you can do anything you want to do
If you have ghosts
You have everything
One never does that
One never does that
You can call it surprise
There it is
And a part of it is me
One never does that
In the night I am real
In the night I am real
The moon to the left is a part of my thoughts
And a part of me is me
Forever is the wind
In the night I am real
I don't want my
Fangs too long
I don't want my
Fangs too long
The moon to the left is a part of my thoughts
And a part of me is me
Forever is the wind
I don't want my fangs too long
If you have ghosts
You have everything
If you have ghosts
You have everything
If you have Ghost
You have everything
If you have Ghost
You have everything
Roky erickson master
Thanks for the lyrics, I just started listening to Ghost(late to the party, as usual)& it has a different feel when you see the words🖤🐈⬛
Na ah. This dude. Bruh. When did you get the time to do this?
Right? They are the best band right now. Very VERY good sound.
RIP Roky Erickson -- May 31, 2019
I know. What a fucking huge loss. If we lose Mike Patton next, my heart won't be able to take it.
@@mrmusickhimself hahaha Mike Patton. I want to like the guy but...I can't figure out which songs of his are good..................
@@Illumirage all of them, what the fuck are you even trying to say
I was lucky enough to catch him live with The Hounds Of Baskerville in Christiania (Copenhagen) 22/05/13. Wonderful show
@@michaelkelley88 No they're not. Most of his stuff is insufferable. And I want to like it. His style is a complete lack of any continuity whatsoever
this song is sad but at the same time comforting, if you've lost someone, they're always there with you, real. you're never alone, they're everything.
Hey
Will never understand why this song comforts me the way it does. But i love it
Tobias Forge has such a beautiful voice it's so magical I hope we can see them in Concert again I hope so
Impeccable cover, a prime example of this band’s ability to make something truly their own. Very very special piece of music right here.
That was a good comment
I was trying to find some new music to listen to but then I realized... If you have GHOST you have EVERYTHING!
I couldn't express it better
Mint.i agree
😂😂 true statement
try LEPROUS
I wanted to like this but can’t ruin that number lol
Strange, couldn't help think that this would be a great song for Foo Fighters to cover... Then I notice a certain Mr Grohl produced this album. What a world.
Ghost is such a magnificent blend of smooth to the ears, yet still heavy. They truly pay just tribute to their influences.. they're so great at it, they're actually convincing they came from the same era as most of them.
I have lots of them I'm never Alone HAIL!!!!!
Show me
@@samimakinen4250 I can't there Not home right now.
It's brilliant how Tobias says Ghost (and not Ghosts) in the first line of the chorus, subconsciously stating that if you have Ghost (the band), you have everything. What a musical genius... Certainly one of the best covers ever made...
@@deeingalaplike it's obvious for us, but the title of this yt video we're commenting both is '"If you have Ghosts" and the lyrics posted in this thread states the same... So, not sure everyone got it.
😎
The guitar solo is perfect!
One of my favorites
AVENGED SEVENFOLD
buried alive
sherpend fire
It's dope
One of the best covers of all time. It just fits the band.
Hey
Real!
I STILL get Goosebumps when i listen to this song!! My favorite band of all time!!!
Hi
I loves my some Roky. They do this justice.
This song is very addictive. Best band that I've heard in a long time.
What's up
Been listening to this song a lot and I keep thinking about relationships (lovers, family, and friends) and how time almost always changes or just completely destroys them. And no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to recreate that feeling of connection and intimacy that you once shared with that person during a specific time. All that you have left to hold onto are the “ghosts” or memories of those feelings. I used to fear mine but now I keep them closer than anything. Beautiful cover.
Brendan Mcandrew damn, deep words there and I'm afraid you're unfortunately right...
+Fernando Rocha Thanks man. Funny you posted this on the night I saw Ghost here in Jacksonville, FL.
WhOA. Deep thoughts in the comments.
I feel you bro
You got me right where I feel this song. Some of my personal "ghosts" really are of the no longer living sort, and yeah, it gets deep and dark there. But one personal interpretation here: if you lose enough, you have no reasons left to care about the petty, surface bullshit, and you truly do become a more free person. If you've got enough ghosts, you have an army at your back.
I have not found something this great In a long time..
I agree.
It's hard to find music like this anymore.
Ghost are an amazing band & have come out with some beautiful original music, but this song is originally a Roky Erickson song.
Except for fake Ghost there not even close to be real
amen to that
What an astounding track eh?
Does anyone else just love it when he shouts: *i aM REEEAAALLL!!!*
Queen Aquene Oh, but I love every moment of the vocals here
Try singing along.
I was reading this at the exact moment he sang it
When the goosebumps kicks in
That’s because it’s an absolutely true statement if your into satan, n we all are wether or Not you can admit it to yourself as a different question
This song is the definition of ghost as a a beautiful melodic band.
Good Lord, Ghost consistently makes such beautiful songs.
This is a cover
Roky Erickson , but this cover is awesome
@@albertandrews130 a cover that’s 1000x better than the original
@@Beretta904 Covers are NEVER better than originals. They are just covers.
@@miisu are you on drugs?
I get a Blue Oyster Cult vibe from these guys and I love it.
Yes! I think Ghost is like if Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult had a kid.
@@MegaThrasher95wow
@@el7597 ?
RIP Roky Erickson. May you have everything.
Maxey damn you're fast
I have Ghost and they are everything.
This song makes me cry every time I heard it. It reminds me of the wrongs I caused a lover who no longer loves me.
I'm a serious roky Erickson fan and I love ghost , awesome cover guys. Roky would approve. Rest in peace brother.
Hey to you.
This is their most motivational music. Coach Papa says: “If you have goals, you have everything”
I found Roky because of this cover. Rest in Power Roky, you're a legend.
The rest in power saying is getting so old now. 🙄
Random Guy come on. He is just appreciating him and and respecting him. Don’t be a douche about it
He was great
Good song
I’m so out of the loop I didn’t know this song was covered. Keep the spirit of Roky alive my friends.
RIP Mr. Erickson. Thank you
This is a forgotten form of music. Beautiful beyond description. Breathless.
There is much beauty in the darkness. Never forget.
Bless Roky Erickson, the absolute legend!
Tobias is a musical and creative genius. I just recently discovered this band and I'm floored how great this entire thing is
Hi
great tune!
Yoooooooo
hi
Respond to Sam Hyde.
ayo
Melon time out
RIP Roky Erickson we will miss you! Thank you for everything ♥️♥️ And remember folks, if u have ghost, you have everything!
I sing this song when I feel afraid. I know that I'm never alone, Ghost are always here with me :) I remember at a concert when Papa told us that this song tell about never be alone and being able to do everything. I really understand the meaning of this beautiful music :)
Tu as raison, mon ami.
Same same same
What's up. You doing ok.
Yes. We never alone
Tobias Forge has a beautiful voice I could listen to his voice forever
This is beautiful
Brooke Bathory Obligatory 'so are you' reply...IF THAT IS YOUR REAL FACE!! heheh
benejeneb Thank you, as are you. It's a mask. I'm actually Tobias Forge
Tobias who? To Google! Hmmm a possible Papa, but is he scandinavian enough?
Not as Scandinavian as I am.
Bollocks! 'Brooke' is as scandinavian as my primark pj's!
Again, this is a Roky Erickson cover ! Love for Roky !!!
I adore Ghost! OMG, they give me chills!!!
my dad passed away on july 1st, 2019. he loved ghost, and shared them with me when i was 6. we saw them live twice, and this song reminds me of those nights with him.
You doing ok
beautiful song! RIP Roky Erickson. :(
i was scrolling on facebook when an article appeared.
it said you could become a vinyl disc if you die, using your ashes, and also could add your favorite songs on it. I seriously think about to become a vinyl disc and add this song, no matter which new song I discover during the rest my life. this masterpiece has to be there.
this is song is very special, everytime i hear it makes me want to cry on how beautiful it is, i know it is a cover of Rocky Erickson but this guys did a pretty damn good job, i love the lyrics and give them my own meaning, and when Jessy Greene hits those notes on the violin and cello almost at the end and Papas Voice always makes me smile and feel nostalgic for some reason, everytime this song ends i think the same thing "man this song is just gorgeous"
There's a lovely and sweeping epicness to this...everytime I hear Ghost...they surprise me with their choices of cover versions and arrangements...
I lost my mum on 9th August 2016, this song is just so true to my feelings and emotions.
R.i.p mum
I have Ghost, but I don’t have everything. If Tobias gave me a call,
then I would have everything.
What a magical VoiceTobias Forge has
This song takes me back to a time in the late 90s when I was a kid. My dad had alot of vinyl albums. He listens to alot of 60s, 70s and some 80s. My mother was the same. This song would have fit in with them. It's just sounds like something Ive heard before, bit at the same time it's something new. And when I hear this song I have a picture show playing in my head of those days. The sounds of journeys guitar solos and skidding my knees on the side walk from learning how to ride my bike. This song is like a warm summer night with your friends, memories, family,l. It's an ode to those you will always have in your heart and to the ones you've lost along the way. It's a bitter sweet nostalgic feeling.
What ever your connection to this song is, I hope it's helped you in some way.
This is one of my favorite songs
...of all time!
David Stern i aways hear this song
I have this song. I have everything.
gg
Rest in peace, Roky Erickson (1947-2019). You will be missed
So sad...
If you have ghosts, you have everything
If you have ghosts, you have everything
You can say anything you want
And you can do anything you want to do
If you have ghosts, you have everything
One never does that
One never does that
You can call it surprise, there it is
And a part of it is me
One never does that
In the night I am real
In the night I am real
The moon to the left is a part of my thoughts
And a part of me is me
Forever is the wind
In the night I am real
I don't want my fangs too long
I don't want my fangs too long
The moon to the left is a part of my thoughts
And a part of me is me
Forever is the wind
I don't want my fangs too long
If you have ghosts, you have everything
If you have ghosts, you have everything
If you have ghosts, you have everything
If you have ghosts, you have everything
+RandomBlitz Juan never does that.
It's "one".
👏
+Gary Pereira lmao
these guys made the best version of this song but thank God for the original artists version for it to exist
Dá pra perceber a influência de Grohl aqui! Ouço essa música umas 20x por dia, amo demais! IF YOU HAVE GHOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!
This song is now playing in my head - it's so beautiful, I just love it. The acoustic version too.
everything ghost touches turns to gold. have they ever recorded anything short of fabulous???
Essa música é boa demais.... Ghost, minha paixão sem limites.
Amo esse cover
A voz do Tobias é maravilhosa
O instrumental também é magnifico, sem palavras!
Nando Moura disse que a voz não presta
fodase oq o nando moura pensa

Hello
Love Ghost, and they opened me up to the world of Roky Erricson, and I'm obsessed with Roky now!
I'm one of the many people who found out about Roky Erickson because of this cover and I'm very upset to hear he passed away. He will never be forgotten
This song means the world to me and has helped me so much
7 weeks and counting until they’re in Reno. I’ll be there, like Christmas came a month late. 🤘
So shocking how I was watching the live version of this song, and a few minutes later I find out Roky Erickson passed away. This man introduced me to Ghost and I will deeply miss him. Rest in Piece you underrated legend.
Yes man, he was a LEGEND. RIP Roky, see you soon
That solo though ... I freak out every time I hear this song, and I can't explain why or how it makes me feel; just freak out. Love it!
me too, Ghost got me with their guitar solos, they are always prefect
This is my favorite rendition. Thank you Tobias. RIP ATP, miss you everyday 🪽
I came to listen to this great song, then went over to hear Roky's original version. It was then that I found out Roky passed away just hours before I felt the need to hear this song. Maybe he's already haunting us all, and now that he is a ghost, he finally has everything.
May he rest in peace.
What's going on.
Can't ever sing this song all the way through without getting choked up.
First song ever to put into tears just from listening to it
I woke up singing this in my head this morning.
I wanna hear them cover mr. Crowley.
Yesssss!
Fuck yes. Good call
That would be great, please Ghost, see this comment!
or No More Tears
You know what, thats a good idea. And it would be interesting to see an ozzy osbourne sing turned into a ghost one.
To me; ghosts are people that you have loved and lost. If you had time with them. You had everything. Shit makes me hurt so good.
This band is one of my new favorite bands and this song is probably my new favorite song.
0:35 this part.. AMAZING
If you have goats... You have everything
still amazing and best cover ever made
love this song, and the acoustic version is pure haunting beauty.
Best song ever ! See you late Ghost !!!!
This band has changed my life. This song came on while I was driving. Mind you I had no idea who this band was. Within a few seconds I was in a head on collision. I could’ve lost my life but I was saved. During my recovery I listened to every song from this band. Thank you so much Ghost for reigniting my love for music!
That's super intense!! Glad you're better!
Ending chorus is perfect!
It gives me a euphoric attitude towards that juicy guitar solo!
they made this song so fucking pretty. i feel every second of this song deep in my heart every time i hear it.
Great cover song!
I can't believe it's been ten years
I can't stop listening to this song.
