“In my bed/But what’s the cost?” Aaron James is going through some stuff in “Ghost,” his latest single from Nobody Really Makes Love Anymore. He think’s he’s found someone special, and she’s intrigued enough to hook up. But now he’s sent a “note in a bottle” and she’s got read receipts off. What gives?
