"Apart Alone" a Hook original for LITLRFest

[Hook]

Had a few extra minutes before a doctors appointment yesterday and some lyrics. I grabbed my QChord and went at it. in the car with the BR80.

Apart Alone

written & performed by Hook

If only you were here
you would hate it here
as much as I do
but Ever Since You Been Gone
that's just one less thing
that we share

Drifting
slowly
apart
alone

If only you could look at me long enough
to see that all I felt was real
it's just now I seem
to have forgotten how to feel

Meaningful expressions
and a slice of depression
Oppressed emotions
Deep & wide like an ocean
And I search to find comfort
that just doesn't materialize

If only we could speak without the words
growing so callous and cold
Can anger be so sufficiently fueled
And our heart by love still ruled

Hook, I'm always amazed at what you achieve with a few stolen moments in your car, an environment I'd never consider for making music.

I'd not come across the QChord before, but I've read up on it now and see it's apparently related to the Onmichord. It's effective, except that the accompaniment lacks any bass. But I guess that can easily be added ... and in fact it seems you can even have the QChord do this for you.

Great vocals as always. A nice song, and a remarkable recording for "a few minutes before a doctors appointment"!

[Groundy]

I love it Hook,
You have certainly mastered your Qchord,
Nice singing, as always,
Good luck at the Doctors..

When I have a doctors appointment, I just about manage a game of solitare on my phone. Brother, you are a monster. Great tune - its sounds almost dystopean, would fit perfectly in  a very dark film.

The music just pours out of you, mate. Another slice of Hook magic. Bravo!
