GHOST OF A SOULMAN - Still love you

On Rotation: GHOST OF SOULMAN "STILL LOVE YOU"

Ghost of a Soulman, an indie-folk group based in the serene coastal town of Skudeneshavn, Norway, released their latest single “Still Love You” on Valentines Day 2025. The personal track embodies the duo’s passion and talent for lyrical storytelling, using indie folk with country influences to produce a melancholic and heartfelt song.

Recorded in their own studio, “Still Love You” benefits from its minimalist production. The backing of an acoustic guitar is the core of the track with its warm, fingerpicked melodies. Subtle percussion and soft harmonies add to the song’s gravity without ruining the delicacy of the sound. The homegrown recording style only helps enhance the intimacy, making it feel like the listener is in the room with the duo as they record. Fans of artists like Iron & Wine, The Tallest Man on Earth, and Gregory Alan Isakov will appreciate the song’s production and sound from the first note.

Lyrically, “Still Love You” is about as the title would suggest - the lost-love’s lingering presence even when there has been pain and regret. The songwriters stated that they wrote the song from “a dark corner of the mind,” and that is obviously through every line. There’s a rare honesty in how the lyrics speak of love—not as something perfect or only for the storybooks, but as something that is uncontrollably, refusing to fade even when there is a desire to move on. While the lyrics are simple, they are sung over a sparse arrangement, allowing the emotion to shine through and bringing to the light the importance of the silence between words.

All in all, Ghost of a Soulman focuses on the core of indie folk ethos: honest, unpolished, and deeply personal. “Still Love You” shares the emotions found in the music of Damien Rice, the storytelling charm of Sufjan Stevens, and the stripped-back vibe of Bon Iver’s early work. It would fit seamlessly into playlists alongside Ray LaMontagne’s “Jolene” or Fleet Foxes’ “Someone You’d Admire.” Thus, it’s no secret we love Ghost of a Soulman’s “Still Love You.”
