Song of the day #2

Alright everyone my song of the day is GHOSTS  by THE JAM.

I have picked 'GHOSTS' because it's one of my favorite songs, the song itself is very simple but so powerful, the bass line is very strong and you almost feel like you could walk on it. The guitar is understated but fits perfectly with the vocals.The drum beat is steady and is never out of time. Also the added trumpet section goes beautifully with the guitar. The lyrics to the song are set out like a poem, which in turn creates a number of emotions for me.When I sit and listen to 'GHOSTS' I feel humble.It gives me the feeling of not being alone. Maybe when you listen  to it, you'll feel different.

I'm a massive Jam fan but to me this song is most definitely their best. I really recommend you give it a listen because of it's brilliance. 

Here is a live version from the Tube back in 1982.
