Pink Turns Blue released its new album Black Swan on February 28, 2025 and the singles put out around the release of the album hint at the album full of self reflection on interpersonal conflict, inner struggles and the yearning for growth and satisfaction rather than a familiar yet stifling situations that can off shape and define our lives. “Dancing With Ghosts” and its brooding yet urgent melodies dives into the latter directly. The music video depicts a young man who is trying to escape from a family dynamic filled with the kind of turmoil and conflict that does no one any good and in the video we see not just him seeking freedom and fulfillment outside the family but also the mother and father characters who fight looking on reflectively especially at the end. In that way it becomes obvious the song is about how we are all participants and victims of this dysfunctional normal in our own ways and sometimes simply removing oneself from the situation can be the best choice for many of us and one to which we may be driven before we understand that’s what’s going on. The jangly shimmer of the guitar melody paired with the melancholic vocals make the song stick with you reinforced by the strong emotional hook of the imagery of the video.
