Tegan and Sara Quin, identical twin sisters from Calgary, Alberta, formed their eponymous indie pop duo in 1995. Initially performing under the name "Plunk," they gained early recognition after winning Calgary’s Garage Warz competition.
Their 2004 album So Jealous marked a pivotal moment, propelling them into broader recognition. Known for their introspective songwriting and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, Tegan and Sara have built a dedicated fanbase over the years.
"Walking with a Ghost," featured on So Jealous, was primarily written by Sara Quin. The song touches on themes of post-breakup denial and emotional detachment, portraying the lingering presence of a past relationship. Its minimalist composition, characterized by a repetitive guitar riff and sparse instrumentation, mirrors the song's haunting narrative.
The music video for "Walking with a Ghost" was directed by Troy Nixey. It features Tegan and Sara in a stark, monochromatic setting, interacting with ghostly figures. The video's minimalist aesthetic and use of negative space underscore the song's themes of isolation and the inescapable presence of past emotions. This visual representation complements the track's lyrical content, offering a poignant exploration of lingering emotional ties.
