Song about a rock star who just lost his soul mate. Tommy Hellsten helped me mix this one.
Stan loves music, is published (EMI/Capitol), and has experience performing on radio and TV when it was live in the good old days. These days he's just writing
Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.
Lyrics
No Violin Tonight
© Stan Loh October 24, 2004
VERSE 1
He rolled in just yesterday,
They want a piece of him,
Clutching and pulling they screamed,
The roadies had to sneak him away.
Throngs of people filled the grounds,
To listen to his sound,
The opening song electrified,
Made the young girls cry.
And the screams rode with his words,
The volume went up a third,
He was singing through his heart,
His blues on the charts.
CHORUS
“I love you more than ever,
I miss your smiling lips,
How can I still exist,
I’m like a ghost tonight,
I miss you more than ever,
I miss your tender touch,
I love you oh so much,
Why did you have to go?”
VERSE 2
In the middle of the song,
They knew something was wrong,
The story now began to peel,
Brought silence cold as steel,
And the band played one more bar,
To sway the tearful star,
Suddenly the light man stood,
Made the spotlights droop,
“My true love has just died,
She’s at heaven’s door tonight,
I just want you to know…
“No violin tonight”.
CHORUS 2 – SUNG BY BAND
“We love you more than ever,
We miss your smiling face,
Your sound we can’t replace,
No violin tonight,
We miss you more than ever,
Can’t feel the groove tonight,
No violin tonight…
Where are you?”
