about

'Alone' is a song written during the first Corona lockdown, about how fortunate we are if we can live with ourselves.

lyrics

When you’re sitting in a sadness that feels deeper than the bone
And you carry around a heart that’s as heavy as a stone
These times when all the trouble can make you grateful just to be… alone

Other times you revel in a rhythm that you know
Complete with all the fixins of a life on the go
It don’t mean you’re near the edge for learning how to get by…
alone

And I get some time together with the folks I know and trust
And we’ll drink and talk forever ‘bout the things affecting us
Some words and some habits they ain’t never gone away
But we live with at the end of the day

Yeah I’m glad to be a part of this tragicomedy called life
And for the hand-me-downs and hand grenades that taught me how to fight
Cause I learned to find the happiness when it’s hard to find the light…
alone

Well I ain’t too proud to witness the storms passing through
And I’ve lost the shame of slipping into a deeper patch of blue
It’s just the darker part of it, that sometimes we better face…
alone

And it don’t mean you ain’t happy in the company of friends
That you ain’t getting those warm feelings just to hang with them again
So many people living in the corner of your mind
And you’re with them from time to time

So rest your guarded caution, your radar in the night
You won’t receive an e-mail when you get the balance right
It’s a brave new world upon us, be glad you know to be…
alone
