"Ghosts" is a song by Australian duo The Presets, released in August 2012 as the second single from their third studio album Pacifica .
The song was voted number 52 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2012. [1]
At the 2013 Rolling Stone Australia Awards, the song won single of the year. [2]
Kiel Egging from Music Feeds said "'Whooooooah-ah-oh-ahs' are destined to become ingrained in your head and spark massive singalongs every time it is played live" but added "some people might not dig it as much as others. The lyrics about being a young man and turning into an old one and the deep voices at the end of the verses may get on some people's nerves. And if they were hoping this was going to be a commercial radio hit, well, it doesnt have anywhere near as much shine as 'My People' or 'Talk Like That'." [3]
