"'Ghost of You and Me'" is a 2001 single by British pop band BBMak. It appears on BBMak's debut studio album, 'Sooner or Later'. The song peaked at number 8 on the US Adult Contemporary chart. It was written by Jon Lind and Richard Page (former vocalist of Mr. Mister). The song was covered in Australia by Rick Price for his album 'Another Place'.

Background



"Ghost of You and Me" was originally recorded by Curtis Stigers for his 1995 album 'Time Was'. Jon Lind played the demo for BBMak member Mark Barry when the band was recording in Los Angeles. Barry brought the demo to his band mates and they agreed to record it, with Barry saying, "When we recorded it we were so pleased at how it turned out to be. We had a full orchestra on the track,. It sounds big, its a big epic ballad. It's one of those songs you know when you hear it you fall in love with it. So from our reaction as well we were very confident it would be hit".

Music and lyrics



The song is a ballad and has a tempo of 200 beats per minute. Chuck Taylor of 'Billboard' wrote the song has "a vivid lyric characterizing one's reluctance to give up on a loved one, alongside a bounty of percussive brush strokes, piano, a guitar, and even a weeping cello".

Music video



The music video was directed by Nigel Dick and shot in Puerto Rico. Mark Barry, Christian Burns, and Stephen McNally sing and play guitar on the beach and walk through the streets. They are each haunted by visions of their respective ex-lovers. Later, the men sing on an outdoor stage, flanked by violin players. The women in the visions multiply into many more "ghosts", and a final aerial shot shows the group of women walking on the island, wearing white and carrying candles. The video became a mainstay on the MTV show TRL.
