Liner Notes

#singersongwriter #guitalele #acousticonetake

A very quick one just before going to bed. The tale of two friends who are searching for something but somehow don't find it in each other. And forgive me for losing the bridge melody. I'll make up a new one tomorrow if I think about it.

Lyrics

They've been here before
Time and again
Never quite lovers
More than just friends

Time's passing by
Slipping away
It can't be over
IF you don't start the day

How can you feel so alone
When your sitting right next to your best friend
And they feel lonely, too
Just like you?

They don't say a word
Just stare at the sky
Both feeling troubled
Both living a lie

How can you feel so alone
When your sitting right next to your best friend
And they feel lonely, too
Just like you?

It's not enough to wonder
How it would be
You gotta stop wasting time

How can you feel so alone
When your sitting right next to your best friend
And they feel lonely, too
Just like you?

The uke adds to the melancholy and the intimacy. Really. Ice one take. Really like the end. Nice playing.

I like the use of ukulele in this way much more than the happy happy ukulele songs. It has such a nice warmth and pairs well with your voice. Great lyrics that many can relate to, I’m sure! Very well done

I second @aftertheflood, I love the sounds of your guitalele! And the delivery of the lines, with the emphasis on "Just like you" as the song ends is just the right punch. Great song :)

Love that guitalele sweetness! This is a really relatable lyric, it's super effective that it's in the second person, and a lovely melody to bring it home.

I like the sentiment; I often wonder why I'm feeling alone when I'm with people I love. I like that the question doesn't get answered. Performance and recording were great :) It made it feel like the two friends-not-lovers were stuck sitting next to each other on a cartoon desert island. Great to hear from you again!
