Lyricist on an endless quest for the perfect melody.
I'm afraid I can't claim to be a band, although I have been known to jump on a bandwagon from time to time. No, I'm just a humble lyricist who is in absolute awe of the composers who have stumbled into my life and bothered to wrap a melody around some of my words. I've been attempting to legitimately call myself a lyricist since I was about 14 years old. Have a listen, won't you, and let me know if I qualify.

Story behind the song
Thinking about how nice it will be to have the house all to yourself for the weekend when the wife and kids go visit the mother-in-law...until they're gone, that is. Somehow it doesn't end up all that fun.
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel we need some space, A little healthy time apart. My claim is too much togetherness Is not so good for the heart. So I like it when her mama calls, Says she hasn't seen her in a while. "Honey, do you mind if I visit her?" I say okay and hide a smile. But thirty minutes after she's gone, I lose that silly grin. A cloud of gloom fills up the room As the loneliness sets in. CHORUS When the loneliness sets in, The weekend's way too long. I think I wanna be alone But I prove myself all wrong. There's an emptiness in me That's awfull hard to fight. 'Cause Sunday's a long way off And it's only Friday night. I think of all the things I'd do That I can't when she's around. Head to Rooney's and shoot some pool, Maybe knock a few brewskis down. Or I could watch the Sports Network Instead of Home and Garden TV. Catch a coupla games of baseball, Yeah, sounds like a plan to me. But before the first pitch is thrown I think of her again. That cloud of gloom fills up the room As the loneliness sets in. REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I know that's just an old cliche. But I swear I love her that much more Whenever she's away. REPEAT CHORUS When the loneliness sets in, When the loneliness sets in, When the loneliness sets in.
