about
Loneliness is a stone-cold killer. Without friendship, we are scared creatures lost in our little bubble. We so desperately long to share feelings and experiences.Β
'You're not alone' by Eric Geurts revolves around this theme. In a - at least at first hearing - winsome ballad with beautiful guitar lines and a lovely wobbling chorus, the lyrics tell about the need for friendship, love and compassion. In 1974, John Lennon sang: 'Nobody loves you when you're down and out'. Lennon's soul haunts this song, but unlike the rather cynical Lennon song, 'You're not alone' sounds like an ode to friendship, to compassion in these lockdown times when much human suffering takes often strike deep wounds into our very souls. Friendship is a verb, it breaks through self-centeredness.
For those who doubt it all too often: 'You're Not Alone'... Somewhere there is someone who cares about you and sings this song for you!
lyrics
I know it's kinda late
and I'm sorry I can't wait
But I'm afraid to fall
Feel like a spider on the wall
Another rainy day
This pain won't go away
So I'm calling you, my friend
I just need a helping hand
Don't you ever feel
that living's an ordeal?
Darkness, never sun...
or am I the only one?
I'm sorry I haven't been much around
but I'll be there when the sun goes down
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
They say nobody loves you when you're down and out
but I'm on the rooftops to shout it out loud:
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
A crazy world out there
much more than I can bear
Nobody wants you
when you're down, so what about you?
I know I got to be strong
Losers are always wrong
So I've come to you, God
with all the love I've got
Don't you ever feel
you're slipping off the reel?
Like you're really done?
or am I the only one?
I'm sorry I haven't been much around
but I'll be there when the sun goes down
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
They say nobody loves you when you're down and out
but I'm on the rooftops to shout it out loud:
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
And I'd really like to know
Do you turn off the radio
when they play this song?
Don't you ever feel
that living's an ordeal?
Darkness, never sun...
or am I the only one?
I'm sorry I haven't been much around
but I'll be there when the sun goes down
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
They say nobody loves you when you're down and out
but I'm on the rooftops to shout it out loud:
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
