Description

A song about alienation whether in a crowd or alone, and how simple human contact, even in the form of entertainment, can be enough to make one feel a part of the whole.

Lyrics

Used to be the world was a friendly place
Everybody had a familiar face
Life was slow
Then the starter's gun for the human race
Crammed us in the city, a lonely place
For the soul

Chorus:
Late night television in the room
Infomercial selling some new broom
Movies made of Technicolor dreams
Some old man is fishing western streams
And I never really feel alone
With a television and a phone

Some who were around strangers all day long
Lost their way in multi-cultural throng
A nameless face
Packed and moved away to that country air
Neighbor is a deer and a mangy hare
A lonely place

[Chorus]

Doesn't really matter if there're crowds or space
Doesn't really matter whatever the place
That you live
It's all about the people you have met
Whether face to face, phone or internet
Got love to give

[Chorus]

	Beautiful.. Thank you, SGF. I'm one of those people who is very grateful for the loops, because they're what allow me to write songs. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	NIce vocal Thank you, Bill! I'll admit that of the songs I've written, this is one of my personal favorites. It doesn't get a lot of attention, but that's okay. Songwriting shouldn't be about attention, anyway. It's about expressing something that's inside of you. That's what this song did for me. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Great Lyrics You have captured a part of modern life that hasn't been written about nearly as much as it should. Certainly not in the song field. Excellent writing. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Great Lyrics Thank you, Bronco! This is one of those songs where, for me, the lyrics were the most important part of the song. Sort of a "I have something to say" kind of thing. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Sumptuous Really nicely constructed ... I like the way it changes through major and minor keys so fluidly. Your voice is strong and resonant but still has a delicate and fragile edge to it. Very lovely! Great choice of artwork too. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

	Sumptuous Thank you, Rebsie! Writing this song turned a corner for me on my GarageBand learning curve. Maybe that's why it's a little special to me. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Heartfelt tune This is really nice...it captures the sense of alienation that can be experienced with urban living..and also rural living. But also the hope. I like the positive message of this one, the tune and performance are really good. Parts of it remind me of Joni Mitchell circa 'Court and Spark' S Check out my latest song called Electricity

	Heartfelt tune Thank you, Steve! The theme is one most people struggle with at one time or another. But even when isolated, we tend to find our comfort somewhere, even if it's watching TV or playing on the internet. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	YAY I really like chords when you say the title also the opening piano is very delicate and well done. Yep, this was definitly made with GB hehe. I was like, wait a sec, I know that loop! To bad I cant ever get mine to work that well together! I guess some people are talented and some arent. Check out my latest song called The Long Walk Home

	YAY Thank you, Drumpat! I have to use loops because I don't play any instruments well. And the truth is, you can get away with a lot when you sing over the loops. drowning them out. That's our little secret, okay? Check out my latest song called Nellie G.
