Latest single: |
ALONE is such a lonely word As sad as any word I have ever heard
ALONE in some ways it's a state of mind
ALONE can be standing inside a crowd
You are ALONE |
And so the lyric goes for what is Johnny Chester's umpteenth recording and the song chosen to kick off his Fifty Fourth year as a recording artist. To try and reduce his career to a few lines is impossible and so this is an invitation to listen closely to a man who has lived the words of his songs and brought them to life in his own uniquely believable style. "Loneliness the debilitating feeling that often cannot be expressed and is often misunderstood". "Loneliness is that feeling of hopelessness and of feeling ALONE". The song is quite a departure for Chess who is known for his positive attitude and for songs that reflect that. He has chosen ALONE because of the damaging effect loneliness can have on people in the hope that the song may help to make people who have not experienced loneliness appreciate the misfortune of those who have.
Remember if you choose to play this on your show, you won't be ALONE. |
