Bassman extraordinaire, Marty Straub from BabuMusic, on Electric Bass and BGV's (last chorus)

I'm playing the lead guitar, the rhythm guitar during the chorus, and did a BGV.

I used EZDrummer3 to build the drum track.

Mixed in Reaper, mastered with Ozone.

Alone in a Crowd (2022, Kathy Bell)

She stands alone with hungry eyes
All the people are rushing on by
Holding up masks that hide the truth
the truth behind their lies

TV blares to mask the silence 
They sit together yet all alone
Words unspoken, thoughts unheard
a love once strong now outgrown

One child watches others play
Hoping they will look his way
But the others laugh and play all day
And never ever look his way

Chorus:

Hearts that ache, and souls that long
For a special place to belong
To be on the outside looking in
alone in the crowd
