Alan Mair & Zal Cleminson Ignite “Ghost Of You In Me” — An Anthem for Love’s Afterglow

Alan Mair Returns With “Ghost Of You In Me” — A Haunting New Chapter On 25 August 2025, Alan Mair—legendary musician from The Only Ones—releases his riveting new single “Ghost Of You In Me.” Written, sung, and produced by Mair, the track finds him playing every instrument, with the exception of the searing lead guitar from the sensational Zal Cleminson. The result is an alternative rock anthem with an expansive, emotionally charged soundscape.

“The song is about how love lingers,” Mair explains. “When you are deeply in love with someone and they move away—or even pass away—some believe their spirit comes back to visit.” That idea of presence after absence threads through towering choruses and intimate verses, a balance Mair has honed across thousands of live shows, including stops at Glastonbury and Wireless Festival.

As a founding force behind The Only Ones—whose influence echoes through The Replacements, Nirvana, The Libertines, and Blur—Mair knows how to make emotion hit hard. “Ghost Of You In Me” channels that lineage while sounding unmistakably like now.
