"Ghosts" is where Laura Marling's recording career begins: her debut single, released on December 2, 2007, and the first song sent out ahead of her debut album, Alas, I Cannot Swim, which followed in 2008. She wrote it on her own, words and music, and it came out on Virgin.

It barely grazed the UK Singles Chart, stalling at number 108, before "Cross Your Fingers" took over as the next single. Even the video took its time, turning up on YouTube only in March 2009.
