“Ghost of a Chance” is a song I’ve cherished for 25 years, ever since I first heard it on Billie Holiday’s 1955 Music For Torching album. The lyric is incredibly expressive, capturing the universal feeling of unrequited love—something we’ve all experienced at some point. My arrangement of the song was unexpectedly inspired by John Mayer’s 6/8 ballad “Gravity”. As I listened to his extended intro vamp, I immediately felt that the mood and atmosphere of his song were the perfect fit for how I wanted to reimagine “Ghost of a Chance”. It’s a blend of introspective emotion and subtle, yet powerful, groove—exactly how this timeless song deserves to be felt.
