Liner Notes

I chose not to go to church with my spouse tonight and the song is written to him, but I think he understands my choice for solitude in a full house, whenever I can find it. Definitely a song for those of us who live in #introversion
Also I almost accomplished the goal of writing a song that doesn't much rhyme.

I decided to write a song in the hour and a half I ended up having to myself, in which I also ate and folded some laundry. The recording took a little longer.

The recording is a #girlwithpiano and also an attempt at an acoustic one-take, but I hadn't really learned the song by the time I recorded it. So I ended up with a separate vocal track. The vocals were challenging since the pianist was rather lazy - ah the art of improvising over the wrong chords! Ha.

But another song appears. And now back to the other stuff on the To Do list.

Lyrics

sometimes, loneliness

I watch the light
the way it comes through windows
the too-bright slivers on the floor, the wall
I hear the sound
the sounds of crickets chirping
the ringing in my ears
the music of the spheres in silence

sometimes, dear, I choose loneliness
sometimes, dear, I choose loneliness
sometimes, dear, I choose loneliness
sometimes, dear

this precious time
I wonder how to spend it
friends and my to-do list on my mind
once in a while
I'll keep my own company
and let the stillness wrap me in its blanket

sometimes, dear, I choose loneliness
sometimes, dear, I choose loneliness
sometimes, dear, I choose loneliness
sometimes, dear

I'll be back soon
I'll be back soon
I'll be back soon
I'll be back soon

sometimes, dear, I choose loneliness
sometimes, dear
