Someone's Ghost, Yeah You're Haunted, But Only By…

I had a hard time getting into The National's High Violet CD at first, but I can't get it out of my head now, and can't stop listening to it. "Anyone's Ghost" is the one that gets to me the most, I think.

"Didn't want to be your ghost/didn't want to be anyone's ghost."

Keeps intertwining with the Giant Sand song that contains the lines "Yeah, this place is haunted/but only by a ghost."

Keeps intersecting with Shearwater's "On the Death of the Waters" for no reason I can figure out and being contaminated by Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs": "Sometimes I can't believe it/I'm moving past that feeling again." But that whole CD is one long haunting, with ghosts that don't know they're ghosts.

What songs haunt you?
