The Boulder Weekly tells us that Tift is "haunted by ghosts" ... but not in a bad way:

At least a couple of the songs on See You on the Moon have the fingerprints of ghosts on them, Merritt adds. The title track was written for a late neighbor and friend who had a three-legged dog, and “Feel of the World” is a song from her deceased grandfather to her grandmother.

“I feel his presence at the piano sometimes in the middle of the night,” Merritt says of her grandfather. “I feel that there are some good ghosts that are sometimes interested in what I’m doing.”

But the album, and Merritt’s folk/country/rock sound, is far from macabre. Maybe haunting at times, but again, in a good way.
