 I’m not lonely  (PVD)

It was something I couldn’t postpone
In my heart I’ve always known
That in the end I’d be alone
But you, you live in my mind

Memories help me to reflect
Flashes of love where I reconnect
Life with you was simply perfect
It was the best of times

As many before have said:
“I may be alone but not lonely”
Though sometimes I’m lost in thought
And sometimes I am probably caught
Drifting off with you, and I’m not lonely
I’m not lonely
never again


The time we shared, the chapters we wrote
Each page had your love as a footnote
Every word you said I can still quote
It’s all safely stored in my mind

And as my hair turns from black to grey
And time dictates what I must obey
I will wait for that fateful day
Where I’m no longer left behind

And sometimes I’m probably caught
Drifting off with you, and I’m not lonely
I’m not lonely
never again, never again.

 I’m not longer left behind!!!
oh oh oh oh oh uh uh uh
No I’m not longer left behind!!!
oh oh oh oh oh uh uh uh
I know I’m not longer left behind!!!
oh oh oh oh oh uh uh uh

Here are a few comments from friends on a different site:


Hey Mimmo, wow this is excellent.

This comment may come out of left field, but to me, this is very similar to the compositional style and arrangement of several late-period David Bowie love songs, my favorite solo composer. It has that longing, light touch and attention to the emotional impact of the music to enhance the lyrics.

A very beautiful expression of the feelings of the lover who is left here to carry on, something most of us face at some point. Great work.

Very pretty lyric. A very beautiful melody to boot. Well done. Enjoyed it.

Mimmo,

This is a well done tune—and a really nice vocal. To me, it feels like a song Jim Steinman would have written for Elvis . . . not sure that makes sense, but regardless you do a wonderful job with this one. If I had a suggestion it might be to strip it down just a tad in spots—for example, when you dial it down at the end (around the 3:20 mark), boy, does that resonate. Wondering if going that throughout the song would add some emotion along the way—just a thought. But this is a really nice effort. Very well done!

All the best,

Deej
