Lonely Nights


This one started out with a guitar theme I came up with over a set of chord changes. I then added a chorus, and Chris came up with the melody.

Marty then wrote the first two verses and the chorus, and Chris wrote the last verse. I thought the solo needed to change the mood of the song, so instead of doing a solo over a verse or chorus I wrote a bridge part for it.

Chris and Marty do a duet on the vocals, first time we have ever done that before, and I think they sound great together wink

Lonely Nights (2021, Marty Straub and Christiane Spruit)

Lost in my mind
knowing how far we've come
Nowhere to hide and all
all the crazy things I am thinking of.
Do you feel this way?
Lonely inside?

You're the one, who
can pick me up
from this mood
Where are you?
Thinking of the same things, too?
You should be by my side
through this lonely night

Lonely Nights and I'm thinking of you
can you feel this, like I do
Are you lonely, on this lonely night
feel as lonely, as I do.

(Guitar Theme )

I Can't turn the page
I know we are worlds apart
words don't come easy,
when you know you have to weigh each one
Did we say so much
I'm begging you, pick me up
