Nan32218 Posted December 14, 2004 Report 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!
jman14141414 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond-Pink Floyd Eleanor Rigby-The Beatles The Fool On The Hill-The Beatles(sorta) God Only Knows-The Beach Boys November Rain-Guns n Roses(again not really but good song) You're Not Coming Back-Lynn Miles What Didn't You Say-Mary Chapin Carpenter Unknown-Chely Wright One-Three Dog Night You might also want to look here
bazooka Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 All Is Loneliness by Big Brother and The Holding Company Only The Lonely by Roy Orbison Helpless, Out On The Weekend, Round And Round (It Won't Be Long) or one of dozens of other songs by Neil Young. He's a Loneliness Specialist.
windy1 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 Burning Of The Midnight Lamp ~ Jimi Hendrix Angel ~ Jimi Those are my fist thoughts upon rolling out of bed. I'm addicted! My coffee and computer. Used to be coffee and a cigarette! My husband thinks this may be worse.Sorry, carry on. ::
edna Posted December 14, 2004 Report 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...
Marc1441 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 Listen to David Bowies "Something in the Air"....Now thats a song about lonliness Marc
RonJonSurfer Posted December 14, 2004 Report 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.
Earth-Angel Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 I wish you were here - Incubus When you're gone - The Cranberries The other side - David Gray Blue Hotel - Chris Isaak Owner of a lonely heart - Yes Loneliness - Annie Lennox
Uncle Joe Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 Just Ask The Lonely...The Four Tops All Alone Am I...Brenda Lee
Steel2Velvet Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 and I guess the Bee Gees might have lots of these... I Can't See Nobody - BeeGees Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton Are You Lonesome Tonight - Elvis Presley I´m So Lonesome I Could Cry - BJ Thomas and the number one lonely song ..... Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis
_Annabelle_ Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 "I'm So Lonely" ? The Beach Boys "Stand Alone" ? Bob Marley "Lonesome Day" ? Bruce Springsteen
XXX Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 "But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter?" by Death In June Now that I think about it, a few Death In June songs are about loneliness "Runes And Men" "Golden Wedding Of Sorrow" "Leopard Flowers" "Hollows Of Devotion" And so on...
jman14141414 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 I forgot about Somebody To Love by Queen.
_Jayson_ Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath Dead Meadow - Black Label Society Rain - Candlebox Metallica - Sanitarium Metallica - One Fall to pieces - Velvet Revolver Lenny - SRV Rivera Paradise - SRV Life Without You - SRV Hopefully most of those are somewhere close.
jman14141414 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 Metallica - One I thought that was more or less an anti-war song? Great song though...
Jimmy1104 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 How about: Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold I'm So Tired Of Being Alone - Al Green Lonely Tombs - Hank Williams Alone - Carly Simon
edna Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 Who sung "All by myself"? I´d google or ask someone around, but guess you know the song...
edna Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 That´s it... thank you, XXX... I don´t like that song but if we talk about loneliness, it fits!
Earth-Angel Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 Eric Carmen, pah, everyone knows Celine Dion's version is better.
Uncle Joe Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 Eric Carmen X, I'm so glad you said Eric Carmen and not Celine Dion. Thank you!
bluesboy Posted December 15, 2004 Report Posted December 15, 2004 Frank Sinatra interpreted loneliness very well in songs like; Angel Eyes I'm a Fool to Want You Laura Autumn Leaves One For My Baby(And One More for the Road) Where or When Don't Worry 'Bout Me Willow Weep for Me Ebb Tide
Elvish Posted December 15, 2004 Report 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)
edna Posted December 16, 2004 Report Posted December 16, 2004 Eric Carmen, pah, everyone knows Celine Dion's version is better. Who is Celine Dionne... Dion?
NightOwl Posted February 8, 2005 Report 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.
