Description
I wrote this song during a pivotal point in my life, Was just about too enter college, ended another failed relationship, It seemed my life was shiny new yet falling apart, and the apartment i lived in was literally falling.
So a couple of lonely nights in the rain and a few ryan adams songs later this diddy popped out.
I pretty muched ripped Ryans La Cienega, but i made it more to my speed

Lyrics
I'm Lonely

Verse 1
Well the night has fallen
I give myself to the pouring rain
With it wild in my mind like a deserts pyre
in my heart you still remain
And all the while i reminisce
Of the dewy sweetness in your kiss
still i sit back and say i'll see you again...

Verse 2
could some one help me rise above
this flood in my heart
Cause now I'm drowning
from the weeks we've spent apart
The roof is falling from above my bed
and I'm trapped with your image under my head
Dying as the bridge we made falls apart


Hook
And I'm still lonely
with your scent stained on my coat
I'm still lonely
As i wait bes ide the phone
I'm still lonely
Trapped in this prison i can't fight
I'm lonely
thinking of you tonight

Verse 3
Now I'm 19 walking alone
Under the bridge at midnight
listening to the thunder moan
an anguish only my soul defines
And i spent the night on Faithless Street
beside the bed where our two roads meet
The city groans with the notes of your beautiful sigh

Hook
And I'm still lonely
with your scent stained on my coat
I'm still lonely
As i wait beside the phone
I'm still lonely
Trapped in this prison i can't fight
I'm lonely
thinking of you tonight

Bridge
and all the lies that i've serenaded
are under this bridge which ties the pain
of two welted hearts in the heat of the insane
In rags i walk where god is sleeping
in frission city where all are weeping
yet the tidings burnt in my heart still bear your name

Verse 4
The night has fallen
I give myself to the pouring rain
with it wild in my mind like my spirits pyre
In my heart you still remain
Still the roof is falling from above my head
My blood has spilt upon the bed
but i still still sit back and say i'll see you again

Hook

"Ah the night...here it comes again"
It's off with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt
How'd I end up feeling so bad
For such a little girl
And I hold you close in the back of my mind
Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt
And I'm too scared to know how I feel about you now
La Cienega just smiles and says, "I'll see you around"

I hear a bit of
mick jagger and dylan in your voice, the slight strumming has a nice hypnotic effect in a musical way. Nice phrasing I think and I like the way the piano carries.

Thanks for sharing this tune and great to see all those typed lyrics looking so neat and clean!

Thanks again!

Well layered arrangement
Wonderful track. I really dig the vocal jump on "I'm still lonely" and the repeating acoustic continuum. Some of the vocal sections (backing vocals especially) move around on both the pan field and with respect to effects and volume, which distracted me a bit. I enjoy your delivery and arranging concept very much. Really good track.
