Nan32218 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hello, I'm new here and I was wondering if any of you could help me find songs about loneliness, or at least a song related to it. It doesn't have to be spoken but could maybe have more of a symbolism lyric thing going on. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Welcome, nan! I guess you got already some good advice... mine would be: "Lonely days" - Bee Gees "Alone again, naturally" - Gilbert O´Sullivan and I guess the Bee Gees might have lots of these...

RonJonSurfer Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I can't think of a better one than, "In My Room" by The Beach Boys. Of course, Three Dog Night said "One" was the loneliest number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 "Alabama" by Cross Canadian Ragweed is a good one: She picked up the telephone All she heard was dial tone She really thought she heard it ring this time She said what am I thinking I must be only dreaming Or maybe it?s the hundred times he?s crossed my mind Just tonight (Chorus) She said maybe I miss your lovin? Maybe I miss your kiss just a little bit Maybe I miss your body lyin? right next to mine Maybe I miss your touch a little too much Tossing and turning her skin's still burning From the fire in his hands Runnin? on empty she needs somebody But somebody wouldn?t understand Then the telephone rings (Chorus) They talked about Savannah Sweet home Alabama And how he missed the way she always smiled Are you coming back soon By the Harvest moon If I have to walk every mile on my knees (Chorus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightOwl Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 "Feel" by Robbie Williams is a great song that symbolises lonliness and the need for love and stability in one's life. It's a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
