Loner

Take away agendas and

Silence all the noise

Banish the pretenders 

Who lay claim to be the voice 

I can’t breath without some oxygen

I can’t sing without a song

If I stole I’d put it back again 

If I lied I’d do no wrong 

CHORUS

Seven days - seven seas

In the end - it’s just me

Sure there’s interaction 

I know, I took your call

But it’s just a strange distraction

That means nothing overall 

I can’t talk without something to say

I can’t walk without some road

If I tried to leave I would just stay 

If I cried no tears would flow

CHORUS

Loner - Video

 

 
A simple piano ballad about the simple things in life. The existential things. The most important things. There are only so many absolutes - 7 continents, 7 days in the week. The rest is on us - individual responsibility and accountability - “in the end, it’s just me…”. Salvation through meditation. The video for this was shot in India which seems appropriate given the Buddhist sensibilities expressed. Heartfelt vocals and close harmonies over a vaguely 70’s soundtrack with some techno sprinkles place this sonically in Zero 7 territory.
