Lonesome Me!
i started to form a compilation with songs about loneliness. please post me all your pathetic, self-pity filled favourites - i want it to be reallyreally GROSS! ;)
so far i decided 4 these tiny pearls :)
- Are you lonesome tonite (Elvis Presley)
i found a really great version, where elvis laughs all the time and admits he has no contenance... :-D - bye bye love (lacy j. dalton & eddie rabbit)
- Hunger (Stereo Total)
self-ironic, deadly serious, bierernst, and cute, adorable, and fuming :) - I Already Miss You (Like You're Already Gone) (Patty Loveless)
sigh...... i'm melting, every single time i listen :( - Lonely (Scream Club)
amazing sample of crazy for feelings - Lover Lover Lover (Leonard Cohen)
- Lover, come back to me (Dinah Shore)
not a cohen cover! - Mr Lonely (Bobby Vinton)
attention! this is my very favourit - i never listen to a song with more whining self-pity! ohmygod... "i'm mr. lonely, i have nobody for my own, i'm so lonely, i'm mr. lonely, wish i had someone to call on the phone, now i'm a soldier, a lonely soldier, away from home......letters, never a letter, i get no letters, i've been forgotten......
yeah! - Oh Lonesome Me (Wanda Jackson)
a appeal to go out more often an have fun! (probably written by anne *g*) - Please dont stop loving me (Wanda Jackson)
okay, here's another favourite - i can't help it, i'm incurably.. what's the word? romantic? tut! - Where Are You Now (Jackie Trent)
yesyes! the only thing that's better than wallowing in self pity is to reproach it to someone else!!! hmmm! i know quite a few people who're experts in that ;) but nobody's as good a my mom! that's not personel - i think it's a mom-invention, the big, invisible women's conspiracy to rule the world by making every single human feeling guilty and responsible!
by the way: it's not so hidden actually - just watch some episodes of Roesanne! :-D

you have to include 'If You Go Away'. as sung by Dusty Springfield, it's the saddest song ever recorded...
then again, all love songs are lonely really. when you consider that the love the person is singing about is ultimately doomed (like all love) you can't help but feel depressed. so you could also include 'All My Loving' by the Beatles. that's a lonely song.
i have to admit, i'm not sure anymore, what the sampler is supposed to b about: lonelyness or self pity. maybe both :) but more self pity!!! ;) so dusty - yes, beatles, i hav 2 listen 2 the lyrics...
