Laura Jane Grace - Give Up The Ghost [OFFICIAL AUDIO]

"Give Up The Ghost" is taken from @LauraJaneGraceOfficial's new album, 'Hole In My Head' - out February 16, 2024.

Lyrics:
I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone I’ll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it’s time that I give up the ghost

If I could pray you to me
I would fall right down onto my knees
Swear to god, this time I am ready
Worth the cost to find
Would you give your time to me?

I’m standing at the center of the universe
screaming at god, I’m not done

I’m standing at the center of the universe
screaming at god, I’m not done

I’m not done

But, I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone I’ll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it’s time that I give up the ghost

I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone I’ll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it’s time that I give up the ghost

I just stumbled upon this song for the first time and I'm listening to it on repeat and feeling all the feels. Your music is so powerful; thank you for sharing your talent with us, Laura Jane Grace.

Laura Jane Grace in concert changed my life. She's so humble. ❤

found myself screaming directly at god just the other day
convinced divine intervention was starting to come into play after a series of extremely unbelievable circumstances and coincidences followed by the disappearance of a friend
couldn't calm myself down until I snapped and made my family find the friend I thought was dying, lacking the power to go out and do it myself. they were in fact dying. but they're going to recover, they're not dead, and I'm not dead, and this song just hit me so hard after everything. Thank you.

Finally! I love this song. Trying to learn to play it by ear directly inspired the opening chord progression for a song I recently released called 'The Only Way'. Your work continues to move me as it has my whole life through. Thank you Laura, I know this song has been a long time in the making, and I've listened to its evolution over the years in live recordings. So happy to finally hear it completed. I'm sure you're busy, but I'd love to hear what you think of the song I wrote that this inspired, it's on most major music distribution platforms, and also in a video on my channel. <3

I think it's time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone, I'll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it's time that I give up the ghost
If I could pray you to me
I would fall right down onto my knees
Swear to God, this time I am ready
Worth the cost to find
Would you give your time to me?
And I'm standing at the center of the universe
Screaming at God, "I'm not done"
And I'm standing at the center of the universe
Screaming at God, "I'm not done, I'm not done"
But I think it's time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone, I'll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it's time that I give up the ghost
I think it's time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone, I'll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it's time that I, think it's time that I
Think it's time that I give up the ghost

gah .. why do you know exactly what it feels like to be me? ya creep. like me with infinitely more talent and the prettiest face in the biz. when i was a kid and people asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up .. explaining it would have been so much easier if i could have just said “laura jane grace” but unfortunately you were only like 7 when i was born so i had no idea yet that someone who gets me exists. please never stop what you do and never ever stop being you.

I love this song but there is some weird auto-tune/effect on the vocals.that makes it sound odd.

[paulrayray]

I always come back hoping she did something good. Never is.
