I wrote and posted this song originally almost a year ago. I finally got around to redoing it. I added a little more orchestration, and some subtle percussion enhancements here and there, and a total remix. The foundation of the instrumentation is RealTracks. All the orchestration/percussion is done with Miroslav Philharmonik. I hope you enjoy it!


All Alone

Here are the lyrics...

All Alone
Music & Lyrics, copyright Stephen W. Young

She is sitting in a dark room
She is hoping he will call her back
And she smiles as she remembers
All the things he said to make her laugh
All alone again
Waiting for a friend

He is sitting in a small room
And with a grin, he softly speaks her name
And he's staring at her number
And he wonders if she feels the same
All alone again
Hoping for a friend

The paradox of young love
So insecure
Yet full of hope
And feeling sure

He is standing in a big room
He is thinking back to long ago
And he smiles as he considers
Everything she does, her love to show
All alone again
Together, more than friends

Have a great day!

Steve,

I really like the melody, love the lyrics.
This is/was not easy song to sing, but you mastered
it beautifully.

The background music is great, especially like the piano
as a "counter" to your vocals.

Steve, I spend over an hour checking out my "balances"
and I was in complete error. Somehow one of them got changed.
Been set that way for months, all of a sudden the balance was
changed, no one else in the room, so had to be my mistake.
Sorry bout that.



Again I "view" this as another production. The music being the soundtrack,
and your lyrics, vocals telling the story.

Very nice !

Thanks so much for your kindness! Glad you like this one. (I am really glad you found the problem with your "balance" in your system.)

Thanks again!

Steve -


Exquisite. I love the fact that it's different, not the standard AABA/Verse/Verse/Chorus/Bridge.blahblahblah.......


This is definitely soundtrack stuff – I would pitch this one for placement. Thanks for posting this.

Bob (Can't remember if you're Bob1, Bob2, or Bob3),

Thanks so much for your comments. I need to learn more about how to pitch my music! I've had several people recommend that I pitch this one. I just don't have a clue who to go to. I may check out Taxi, just leery of having to pay so much to be able to submit. Anybody have any success with Taxi, or any other methods like this?

Thanks again!

Steve

Steve, it’s all been said.

All I can add is outstanding orchestration.

Two thumbs up.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Steve,

Very nice. Love the melody.
As someone has said, not an easy one to sing.
I think it would sound good in a movie.

I do remember this the first time round Steve.

A powerful song and well delivered.

Clearly a lot of thought and attention went into the composition and this new version certainly does justice to the song.
