The Ghosts are Gone

I have been listening to this song on repeat for 3 days. I know this song sounds familiar to those of us who lived the 70s and 80s, but no one has came out with such a ass-kick song in so long, this song sounds refreshing.

I'm just really digging the riff, the vocal and the feel of this song. There is a manicness to this song that just get your brain pumping. I think it is one of Stevie's best ROCK OUT songs, along with Edge of Seventeen and I Can't Wait. It belongs on her greatest hits, because it shows the rocker side of her.

I think if it were to ever get released she would need to cut it down by a 1.5 minutes, but there is so much to work with for a single. That shouldn't be a problem.

I wonder if I'm sooo attracted to this song because I'm male. I have noticed that alot of other males dig this song and turn it up!

I just drove around Columbus Ohio with my speakers full blast listening to this song, and I want some more....

Manly yes, but I like it too.

Sadly, knowing that Irish Springs commercial just shows my age

I did listen to you honey and always liked it, unlike some others who blew it off. But what I'm saying, is that I'm gravitating to that song more and more. When it comes on, I turn it up really loud. Since every song is different, it really makes an impact. I mean, rock has been dead for soo long, and out of the blue comes Stevie with this thing. I just love it. It's never boring. I'm really finding that I love the second half of the album better than the first.

You have good taste. Rock has been dead. This is a shot in the arm. Thank god.

This song is totally my jam. I rock out to it ALL THE TIME!! My dad used to yell at me for having this song on too loud and he had to do it multiple times...that's when you know you have a good rock song

. It's one of those songs that just lets all of that raw emotion out. Plus that "really cool guitar riff"

is pretty darn awesome!

I totally agree. THIS SONG IS JAM and a really good one. I play it over and that is when you know a song is good.

Loved it the first day I heard it. It rocks. Should be a single imho.

I wish I could hear this song the way you all do. The intro and outro guitar part just throws me off the song. I just can't get into that part. I like the long drawl on "heerrrrre" and such...that gives the song some character. I love the lyrics. Really its just the heavy guitar, especially at the end, that just doesn't work for me.

I still think its a very good song. It's just that comparatively its the weakest on the album (for me....I'm not counting "My Heart" as a regular track).

To me gives the album a needy unexpected jolt.
