[Do_Tar]

Get Off of My Cloud - Rolling Stones

Disturbed - Down With The Sickness
Not really about being alone. However if you play it loud enough people will stay away from you.

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I’m so lonesome I could cry

[Tennessee Nana]

Go Away Little Girl

And a tribute to Kenny Rogers...

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Dylan captured the mood of the times pretty well here:

Shadows are falling and I been here all day
It’s too hot to sleep and time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t let me heal

There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing, there’s been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin’ what was in her mind

I just don’t see why I should even care
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

Well I been to London and I been to gay Paree
I followed the river and I got to the sea
I’ve been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of lies
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ in anyone’s eyes

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

I was born here and I’ll die here, against my will
I know it looks like I’m movin’ but I’m standin’ still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from

Don’t even hear the murmur of a prayer
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

[Tennessee Nana]

Fun fact: the original lyrics to Here I Go Again say, “Like a hobo, I was born to walk alone.” David Coverdale was afraid people would hear it as “Like a homo, I was born to walk alone,” so he changed hobo to drifter. 🤓
