"Your Ghost" is the first track from Kristin Hersh's debut solo studio album Hips and Makers. It features additional backing vocals from Michael Stipe of R.E.M.. It was released as a single on January 10, 1994 and reached #45 in the UK singles chart.
According to Filmmaker Magazine, the music video for the song was directed by Katherine Dieckmann and is an homage to Maya Deren's groundbreaking 1943 experimental film Meshes of the Afternoon.
The song was sampled in DJ Scott Browns's gabber song "Ghosts".
The song was also sampled in μ-Ziq's song "Phiesope".
This song was re-recorded as "Your Ghost 2006" with 50 Foot Wave. This version is quite different from the original because of the use of a distorted guitar.
Greg Laswell issued a remake of "Your Ghost" on his October 2009 EP Covers, an album of five non-original songs covered by Laswell. Laswell's remake was featured in episode 6.05 of the TV series Grey's Anatomy and in episode 2.08 of the TV series Dollhouse.
This song was also covered by the band Black Lab and was the hidden track for their album Passion Leaves A Trace.

Famous quotes containing the word ghost:
“Bid a strong ghost stand at the head
That my Michael may sleep sound,
Nor cry, not turn in the bed
Till his morning meal come round;
And may departing twilight keep
All dread afar till morning’s back....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
