song 123 : Aloneness (Tacoma Ballet)

“Ah this is unusual,” you can hear me gripe at the beginning of the track as the band falls into that easy Americana groove once again. But a surprising song emerges anyway. That’s one of the things I enjoy about freestyle songwriting, you can be out in left field emotionally and mentally but the words and arrangement appear anyway.

On the other end of figuring out that who she thought was love is probably only memory, our heroine confronts just how alone she feels. Alone if she leaves her home town. Alone if she stays.

“If everything is alright, why’s it feel so wrong?” her boyfriend shows up and asks her. And discovering that she’s not the only one who feels the way she does, her disappointment sails into hope.
