There Ain't No One
I began writing this in the early 70's. It started as kind of an up bop tune. Then I wrote some some words, probably when I was drunk and had been stood up or dumped. but they stayed in my head somewhere all these years.

A little while ago, i heard Brazzaville and some of the feels they were getting seemed to fit this chord progression and melody.

The "band" contains sounds from the triton rack, the music was programmed in Digital Performer, the vocal recording was done in Logic Pro as was some mixing and mastering.

The Lead vocals hang around the style of Mose Allison or Michael Franks. I had been working on them and completed the singing in room 1810 at the Riviera Hotel in Vegas, June 29, 2011.

The background vocals somehow recalled the Grass Roots or perhaps Classics IV to me.

The instrumentation is intentionally sparser than my usual work to reflect the theme of the lyrics. It contains bass, drum kit and shakers, guitar and a piano solo.

lyrics

When I feel this way,
it makes me wish
I had you.
To Help me Through now.
You
To see what we would do.
And I feel you'd keep me trying when my crying times are here
You could keep me going when there's
No One There
If I could Put You There
There with me

Then I knew your love,
And I could see,
It wasn't there.
You didn't care now.
Where I'd turn to next and now.
Now you've left me crying when my trying times are here
You just kept on going
Leaving No One There
If I could put you there
There with me.
