From the recording Overlander
This is an old song from one of the first records from The Nadas. I think it effectively illustrates what it is like being a solo performing songwriter in the current times.
Lyrics
All alone in the darkness, sing your howl song
Night air is as empty, as the day is long
All alone in the darkness, sing your howl song
Someday you will find somebody, who will sing along.
Spend your time in the outside, you can see your breath
Sit down on your haunches, try to get some rest
All you need is some shelter, a place to sleep and a meal
Try again tomorrow, for a better deal
Stare at the moon, sing your howl song
Someday you will find somebody, who will sing along
Stare at the moon, sing your howl song
Someday you will find somebody, who will sing along, who?
Follow Tracks in the snow, made by whom you do not know
Because you are along here, it's the loneliness you fear
You walk with an empty belly, for food you have not known
You walk with false knowledge for things not shown
You walk with these burdens, they must weigh you down
But you are the king of the free, be proud and wear your crown
Stare at the moon, sing your howl song
Someday you will find somebody, who will sing along
Stare at the moon, sing your howl song
Someday you will find somebody, who will sing along, who?
All alone in the darkness, sing your howl song
Night air is as empty, as your legs are long
All alone in the darkness, sing your howl song
Someday you will find somebody, who will sing along.
