A truly meaningful piece, ‘Grandpa’s Ghost’ is not merely a poignant, evocative song. It’s also a musical window into Roger Jaeger’s relatable, wholesome storytelling, a quality that becomes highly apparent in the single’s wholesome character. Delivering all this lyrical goodness with irresistibly earthy and raw vocals, the Californian creative strives to pay homage to his grandfather, who unfortunately he never met.
‘Grandpa’s Ghost’ beautifully conceptualizes a fictional conversation between Roger and his granddad, as Jaeger mentions in the song: “I think he’d look me straight in the eye and say, ‘My boy I know what it’s like, you can gain the whole world with a hole in your chest.” Wise words, which we are confident will evoke many emotions in listeners all around the world.
Such fragile and sensible songwriting is framed into heartfelt country and Americana flair, with stunning acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies accompanying Jaeger in his unique musical journey. A soothing, visually rewarding music video is shipped with the record, providing even more context to the ‘Grandpa’s Ghost’ lyrical universe.
