The eerily beautiful, enrapturing second track of Beyoncé’s self titled album comes in two parts: one titled “Ghost”, and the other “Haunted”.

The former track – “Ghost” – is a stream of consciousness that gives the most honest perspective on the record on why she created the album in the first place – she’s gotten bored with the typical process of releasing a record, and that albums have lost their function as works of art. A separate video was shot for “Ghost”, despite it being released with “Haunted” under the latter’s name on the musical album. The video for “Ghost” has even influenced the architects of a to-be-built skyscraper in Melbourne, Australia to model said skyscraper after a particular pose in the “Ghost” video.

The latter track – “Haunted” – describes her relationship with her image and her past, relating them as “ghosts” or things that follow her around consistently, a shadow of what they once were. The video to accompany “Haunted” was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who also directed “Superpower”, and is embedded above. The visual for “Haunted” was cited as one of the most boundary pushing and artistic pieces on the record’s videography, showcasing a variety of mysterious and avant-garde images and scenes.
