Lonely Boy
J.Kenney © 2012
re-recorded 5-5-17


Keep your feet on the ground
take one step at a time - you're told
Pushing brings it all down
End up losing your mind - out in the cold

Lonely boy - trying to get it right
Lonely boy - slow down a bit tonight

Summer turned into fall
Didn't figure so much - lay ahead
Winter blew into town
You're the last one around - so they said

Lonely boy - you're finally settling down
Lonely boy - now look what you have found

This never happened to you
it can't be real
They must mean somebody else
not too sure what you're supposed to feel

Lonely boy - trying to get it right
Lonely boy - slow down a bit tonight

Lonely boy - you're finally settling down
Lonely boy - now look what you have found

John,

This has a very cool retro feel to it. Great mix and vocal - I really enjoyed this.

Bob

Hi jyonks, Great work on this tune! Very pleasent to the ears with great harmonies and Electric piano. Well done!

John,

I enjoyed listening to this. It was a pleasant and satisfying musical journey. The mix, vocals, harmonies, music and lyrics all worked for me.

All the best,
Noel

John, great delivery, excellent use of the harmonies, and the electric piano gave a great presence to the song.

Ideal tempo for the style, and very beautiful lyrics.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow! great song John

I don't remember hearing this before.

Would anyone be surprised to know that we

cut our teeth on Eagles songs?

That influence and your own great style make this a standout.

Kenny

Hi John,

Another really nice song from you. You're quickly one of our favorites here. Smooth as warm butter - and much more pleasing. We could hear the eagles doing this at a slightly faster tempo. The Calypso influence was a real good choice for your guitar tracks. Smooth and comfy in our ears. Nice!

Alan & Di

Nice chord progression and great choice of instruments. Enjoyed my listen.

Charlie

Absolutely. Great job.
