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!

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...

Now that I think about it, a few Death In June songs are about loneliness :beatnik:

"Runes And Men"

"Golden Wedding Of Sorrow"

"Leopard Flowers"

"Hollows Of Devotion"

And so on...

"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)
