Song Information:

I wanted to do a song that didn't sound anything like me. Just a total departure, including -- especially! -- the sound of my voice. So I imagined how I would sound and feel were I a small child, alone in the dark, huddling in the corner wondering where everyone was. I tried to capture that innocent voice (and no way could I use my naturally throaty, low vocals for that). This is another of my improvised songs -- no lyrics or melody in my head. I just started singing. There is a point where my voice breaks with emotion, so I left that in, feeling that it was true to the character I was singing. My intent was to capture a mood. Let me know what you think.

Song Lyrics:

There's nobody here
I'm all alone
There's nobody here
I'm all alone

I'm searching for
Someone to
Open up a door

But I'm all alone
I'm all alone

I wish I knew
Where everyone had gone
Wish I knew

There's nobody here
I'm all alone
There's nobody here
To answer me
I wonder where they've gone

I ask the darkness
Ask the corners
Ask, but never hear

Echoes
Silent echoes

There's nobody here
I'm all alone

Alone.
