Sorrow, Longing and Depressive Nights

This track can be described as "A lament of grumpy old men in a nursing home called Who Cares". Original Finnish version was written 5 years ago, at that time I thought the song should be funky blues, but when I started to work on the English version with Synthesizer V vocalists, I immediately noticed that they require a more straightforward rock version. So I re-arranged it and here is the result. Just having fun with synth voices and great selection of rock instrument in BIAB. I hope you don't mind another depressing song from my vaults smile

Lyrics:

Tetanus vaccine gave protection as a child
didn't help when I was bullied in the playground wild
my teachers didn't care about the poorest of the pile.
No tuberculosis, but depression filled my mind
kicked out of Google, the cat died, hope declined
nights were comfortless in spite of
the anesthesia of a wine.

Sorrow, longing and depressive nights
why couldn't doctors vaccinate against those blights
hey nurse, could you give me a remedy
a needle to my butt and out of misery
life was meager, inattentive
I prayed for sweeter days to come
I got only crumbs.

For a very short while I danced with Martha Lee
but she fell for a guitarist, Riley from Tennessee
my heart was not immune to it, I got sick of chronic grief.
I knew though she was that kind of girl who breaks her toys
after few banging will change her lover boy
still I couldn't fight the longing
a virus from the shards of joy.

Sorrow, longing ...

Sky's like a painting of my life
I look out at the grief in grey
when the discourteous nurses
change my diapers once a day.
No faith in heavenly gladness
but in the void without a concern
sink this soul into oblivion of no return.

Sorrow, longing and depressive nights
why couldn't doctors vaccinate against those blights
hey nurse, could you give a consolation prize
won't clear the memories cutting like a knife
but it calms down, it's a healer
for the rest of my life
the rest of my life.
