Good Day Noir Family,
Blindness & Light takes a bold step with their cover of Kristin Hersh’s haunting ballad, “Your Ghost.”

While the original is a stripped-down folk song, steeped in acoustic intimacy and darkness, Blindness & Light injects a dose of alternative energy.
Their reimagining transforms the track into a gothic soundscape. Gone is the original’s quiet strumming; in its place, a razor-thin, almost metallic guitar tone takes center stage, reminiscent of a twelve-string with an edge.
Where the original maintained a melancholic consistency, Blindness & Light builds “Your Ghost” into a crescendo of emotions.
Around the 2-minute mark, the drums kick in, adding a driving, almost danceable groove.
This newfound rhythmic pulse perfectly complements the vocalist’s performance – a delivery that’s twilight-tinged and captivatingly intense.
Blindness & Light doesn’t simply cover “Your Ghost;” they breathe new life into it. They’ve captured the essence of the original’s darkness while adding their own unique touch.
The result is a thrilling reinterpretation that stands on its own merit. This is a cover song that deserves to be celebrated.
