Lonely Man

[Keith Wilby]

There's a little old man who on some mornings shuffles into the shop where my wife works. She says he's such a lovely old fella but incredibly lonely, especially since his wife passed away. I've never met him but this song is based on her description of him.

The recording needs a few fixes here and there, particularly the lead guitar which I always struggle with, but comments welcome as always.

Keith, you are a very good song writer, I'm jealous.  Your style reminds me of Jeff Lynne.  The only comment I have is the vocal could be just a tiny touch louder.

That's very kind of you, thank you. Having listened again I think the celli are swamping, well, everything, particularly after the middle 8. Either way I'll fix it 👍

Nice song, nicely played and captured.

This is a very nice song with a beautiful message that deserves to be heard a little louder, maybe 2-4 dbs.  I think that if you put it in people's faces, it will be a very impressive song!
