I know this was posted 2009...I got on here hoping to hear something new from Helen. I miss you brave sister. This song is one of my very favorites. I loved the pics. you put with it. Did you draw any of them? I think of you often my heart and prayers are with you. Love , Deborah & Hawkeye
I sent this video to my sister who lost her boyfriend of 25 years ago this February. He was truly a great guy who supported me as well when I lost my first hubby 20 years ago. I know she enjoyed it.
I've been lonely my whole life, even in my last relationship. When you've had nothing but pain as far back as you can remember, it's hard not to be. Being raised by a raging alcoholic, and having many friends and family members die in freakish accidents might have something to do with it. Beautiful song, no doubt.
Best match of images to music I've ever seen. With the possible exception of whom I wanted it to be... (you this good, you know the lyric I referenced!!)
Really- incredible timing with the pics- I'll shut up and listen again...
@polosolo2007 This song was written as a response to Roy Orbison's "Only The Lonely". It has the same chords and it's awesome. It also came out at the time of my divorce in 79.
Love this beautiful song! For some reason, when I heard it the very first time on the radio, I thought it might have been Roy Orbison singing(who happens to be another one of my fave singers). Thanks Helen1434 for the upload.
@helen1434 .... Thanks Helen.... Oh, by the way, I meant to additionally compliment you on the very nice & superb video/photo editing montage you've created to guide the song. Bravo!
Thanks helen1434 for your comment and your love. I was the lucky one who had Cindy from 1979 to 1982. She came back to see me in 1992, then she left. Then Dec 28th, 2002, Cindy died at the age of 46 of AIDS. Now I'm the one who"ll be calling out her name, When I"m Only Lonely.
I used to have the 45 on the COLUMBIA label. I also used to sing this to my late girlfriend Cindy in 1980 whenever I was on the road away from home. I called her on the phone and say to Cindy " When the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders, And when you"re feelin lonely and small, you need somebody there to hold you. You can call out my name, When You"re Only Loney, Now don"t you ever feel ahshamed, when You're Only Lonley". She died in 2002 at the age of 46, I miss her so.
This song got me through a really rough time in my life back in 1982. And it has been my favorite since then. JD Souther has one of the sweetest smoothest voices I've ever heard. And for me, this song was truly heaven sent.
Whoa, this one takes me back! An oldie, but a goodie! J.D. Souther has been a "behind the scenes" talent for many years----a highly underrated artist.
*Sighs* This is an absolutely breathtaking song... I remember listening to this song over n over... and around that time the only person I ever talked to told me that he had strong feelings for me... so now I only listen to this when I'm away from him for too long. :)
beautiful..thank u for sharing :)
