Gotta love my mom. She's laid up sick in the hospital after being close to death and she's still trying to fix me up with someone. I was thinking about that while opening up iTunes to listen to some music and by some coincidence the Heart song "Alone" (from the Bad Animals album) was the first tune I saw. For that coincidence alone (pun intended) let's make it the Song of the Day!
The lyrics are not just about being lonely, but also about being alone with someone. That's something I admit that I miss quite a bit. Not just for getting frisky. I miss the companionship that two people who are intimate share even when they aren't intimate.
But I digress. The song makes an effective use of a piano to set the mood. It's also a nice counterpoint to the vocals. If a man had sung this song the piano wouldn't have been as effective. If I recall correctly that's Ann Wilson on vocals. She has a terrific range as she ably displays in this song. Her sister Nancy is equally accomplished on lead guitar and this makes "Alone" one of my favorite Heart songs and a good one when I'm in the mood for less boisterous music than I usually like.
FYI for Blogger users: I dragged that image above from my desktop to the post window and it stuck. Not sure if the Blogger instructions cover that. Normally I use Hello to post pics. That allows the reader to open the image in a separate window.
