Your Ghost

A spare but haunting lamentation for a long-departed lover (it is never made clear if said lover has relocated somewhere else, or shuffled off this mortal coil), Kristin Hersh's heartbreaking "Your Ghost" (with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe on harmony vocals) is one of the standouts from the former Throwing Muses frontwoman's 1994 debut album , "Hips and Makers". It gets an appropriately impressionistic, black-and-white promo-video treatment here.
