"Y'r Ghost" by Mobley will take you on a climb to emotional heights of love and longing. The speaker of the song waxes poetic about the person they covet, marveling at how truly special they are with lyrics like "you're the apotheosis of a dime piece," that will make you feel touched by the intensity of admiration woven through the words. Interspersed throughout the lyrics of warmth and love, there is a clear message of loss. The subject of the speaker's affection is referred to as a ghost, and the track descends further away from feelings of connection and togetherness, with devastating dives into the reality of mourning. This track is reminiscent of Mobley's EP Cry Havoc!, which introduces a character whose journey of love and loss is further explored in this song. Whether you're a long-time listener and are invested in the characters in Mobley's songs, or simply someone who enjoys poetic expressions of emotion, this song will move you.
"Y'r Ghost" is a musical journey that will captivate you with its soundscape that embodies the passionate emotion of its messaging. Jazzy electric guitar, percussion, and piano open the song. Ambient vocals follow the melody of the instrumentals at first, before descending into a rounded, groovy chorus. Mobley carries the melody with his breathy, high vocals while low vocals layer into various portions of the lyrics, adding a dynamic sound. After hitting a high note on the word "ghost", the instrumentals emphasize that spinning, supernatural feeling with an interlude that starts with electronic instrumentals and an energizing drumroll. Electric guitar joins, and from there, a cool and immersive sound begins when Mobley's vocals come in, almost in the background before growing in sound and adapting a resonant electronic style that takes on the passionate feeling of mourning from the lyrics. This song is sure to entrance you with its moving energy and exciting sound.
