Never Alone

by Lola Parks

/

about

"Never Alone" is a minimalist piano ballad, an homage to the Carpenters, and a goodbye to my mama ALA Adele, Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish.

I began writing songs with piano. Then for 20 years, I didn't have a piano or keyboard and wrote and performed exclusively with guitar. I am loving writing on piano again. It feels like a musical "homecoming".

"Never Alone " is about a loved one not returning home. Mom's dad was in the army and mom passed suddenly last fall. There is a broken promise: I will always love you. You will never be alone. There is a sadness but a carrying-on, an inner fortitude and resilience. Remembrance Day release.

lyrics

Another night approaches
The fog rolls in
I'm thinking about you and I want in
You know how you told me
I was better off without you
I didn't believe you then and I don't trust you now

Ooh ooh ooh - I'm drowning
Ooh ooh ooh - without you
Ooh ooh ooh - you're the best thing and the worst

You said I'd never be alone
You said I'd never be alone

Lately I've been sleepless
Ok it's not all on you
You said you'd be home soon but where are you?

Ooh ooh ooh - I'm drowning
Ooh ooh ooh - without you
Ooh ooh ooh - you're the best thing and the worst
Ooh ooh ooh - you're the best thing
Ooh ooh ooh - and the worst
Ooh ooh ooh - there ain't no safe place, no home without you

You said I'd never be alone
You said I'd never be alone
You said I'd never be alone but where are you?
