I'm so Lonesome I could cry By Hank Williams

Have you ever felt alone? Sitting there, in your self recliner chair, nothings on TV, no friends to hang out with you, its a down right rainy day, dark clouds and cold. With no one to talk to. No one to sit by your side and tell you everything will be alright. Its just you left alone in your weary head just to sit and think and think and think. You Run through every scenario of your life in you head until your heart just pours out of your eyes and lonesome is all you can feel. Well it seem this one man has felt this way his whole life. No one to care for him, he's just alone.
Today I have a song as old as time with a message to keep in your heart. This song comes from an artist whose middle name should have been lonesome. He lived a short simple life, but his music has and is having a major impact on every genre of music and songwriting alike. This sad song "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry" by Hank Williams, is a timeless master piece and a personal account for whats its like for a man to be alone. This song was released in 1949 on Williams B Side of his Single for "My Bucket's got a hole in it" it charted on the Country Billboard charts at number 2. It is rumored that the song is about Hank Williams troubled relationship with his wife Audrey Sheppard. And if you listen to the lyric, you might find some aspects of your own relationships and loneliness in there too.

I Got Robbed by Slithering Beast

Many mainstream songs in the world today tell a story. These story can be from first person, second person and just a old flok tale. But many of these songs can be straight forword without many metaphpors or useless information. Its a story, told in a dynamic rythmic pattern and in turn you get a kick ass song oout of it.
This song is by up and coming down home whiskey swinging, lonley feeing and isloated American Alternative Country band from Clark Ciounty Indiana called SLithering beast. The song "I got Robbed is off their debut alaum called Werewolf ballads released in 2007.
The song starts of with a lone d chords be strum soflty buliding up into a full kick ass country waltz taking us along a path some one is walking. The beats of the bass drum comparing to a swift walk through the streets. The first line stating :I crossed broadway at 3am, thats something I'll never do again cause I got Robbed" This person already learned his lesson before we even know what happened. He got robbed and it doesn't seem like it turned out well. The next line "Two guys jumped out and one had a knife, if I didn't give em my money they would have taken my life" sung with a tenor voice and a high harmony adds it importance.
Throughtout the song, the narrorator takes us on an everyday walk through the streets and ends up getting robbbed. The steal his hard earned Steak and shake money and take his prized weed and smoke it right in front of his face. "I was gonna get high today, when I got off of work at the Steak and Shake". Next the narrortor pleads to anyone that will listen to his problem. "How are we suppised to live in this town with all these money grabbers lying around" How can a man live peacrful inthat town if all his money just keeps getting stolen. The final line expressing "Shaken down and clean out" He's doesn't have anyting left. Just a false sense of pride and a shadow always lurking over his shoulder in fear of getting robbed.

Smith Hill By Deer Tick

American is a wonderful place to live. The United States has a population of over 300 million and too many cites, towns and metroploises to count.Many of us in rural small towns such as myself feel simple. Many of these towns are filled with poverty and violence. Drugs, violence and thefts are part of everyday life in these lonesome wron down towns. This song talks about a town just like that and gives a frist person prespective on the effect it has on someone growing up there.
Smith Hill is a song by an American country, blues grunge band from Providence, Rhode Isalnd. The band...Deer Tick, the Album Born on Flag Day, the song Smith Hill.
"Elbow on the window seal, my head against the pain, I've seen so many grow and die, I forget most of there names" With this line we get an almost childlike image of a person sitting by a window, bored with his head against the pane, observering his outside world. Next the narrorator of the song talks about all the people his seen grow up around him, friends, family neighbors and how they have just disaperad through the years. All they were was a memory and now he can't even remember there names.
My favorte line of the song is "To the ones who made it out alive, its you I miss the most" Here this kids is stuck in this nowhere drug forsaken town with all his hopes and dreams in his head. Just sitting and thinking about the future, seeing all thses people knew once knew leave. Leave this town that holds his dreams locked, seeing so many others before him fail. But the ones who made it out, he'l miss there memory the most because he'll never see them again.

Act Naturally by Buck Owens

Once again folks, here I'am singing and ranting about another country music classic dealing with heartbreak and love forsake. We have all felt lonley, we've all cried tears till our eyes are in pain and we've all crsued somone's name at one time or another. But have you ever had to play the part of a sad and lonely.
Buck Owens comes to us straight out the 60's with charm and glitter. His almost nuery ryhme way of melodies can make anyman feel sad and lonesome. In this song story we have a man whos about to be put in the movies to play a part of a man thats sad and loneley and all he has to do is Act Natuarlly. This man is the part of sad and lonesome. He pleading that he won't even need to Act because he alreaady is what he's suppose to portray. A sad, lonley, single man with no one to be by his side.
The Beatles did a cover in this song off the Album Help with Ringo taking lead vocals which seems ironic to me. I think Paul and John let Ringo sing this song because A he couldn't sing anything else but he kinda of portrays the same character. A sad, lonesome man in the beatles with no spotlight, but when he does get it, he's singing of the same situatuion, hes singing a song about acting sad and loneley when he already is play the part.
