Happy Saturday JPFers all over the world. This is a lyric written by the lovely Mike LeBlanc. As with most of his lyrics that grab me, the music came almost right away. If you have any ideas about future production, or in general how to improve on the song, we're listening. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

LONELY ROOM

You plant roses in my heart but it doesn’t matter
Cause then you leave all the thorns that claw and tatter
And the rains only nourish the sorrow that blooms
Day after day after day in my lonely room

You paint rainbows in the sky so beautifully formed
Then you’re gone and I can’t weather the coming storm
Constant lightning flashes, the rolling thunder booms
Rattles my, rattles my heart in my lonely room

In my lonely room
It’s never easy
You come and go and it scares me
In my lonely room
Too much time alone
Wondering why I stay when you’re gone
In my lonely room

Whatever this is it’s like a puzzle in the dark
A piece goes missing, the one leading to your heart
If you’re cheating at this game won’t you please come clean soon
I’m thinking and thinking too much in my lonely room

In my lonely room
It’s never easy
You come and go and it scares me
In my lonely room
Too much time alone
Wondering why I stay when you’re gone
In my lonely room

Hi Ricki and Mike:

Really enjoyed my listen... although I never thought of Mike as being "lovely"... LOL! Your "trial balloon" has all the elements of a great song with a serious "blues vibe." I appreciate the words and the melody... and, being naturally curious... wonder how it would sound with more instrumentation? No need to hurry 'cause only two opinions matter about this song... Ricki and Mike! Kudos and curtain calls for this very special recording. ----Dave

Ricki & Mike...

Exceptional lyric.

I like what your have done with this, Ricki. The repeats at the end of line 3 is a nice touch. The use of background- style vocals for the "In my lonely room" lines in the chorus works really well.

A nice guitar/vocal recording. Add a simple bass guitar line and a snare with brushes and it would be complete.

Cool song.

Hi Ricki,/Mike
,

Now THAT"S cool.
VERY GOOD job all around.
Cool performance and I wish I wrote THIS PART......

Whatever this is it’s like a puzzle in the dark
A piece goes missing, the one leading to your heart

ps....I really liked that last batch of IN MY LONELY ROOMS at the end.

Ricki and Mike,

First off, the lyrics are sweet as heck. I liked them a ton when Mike first posted them on the Lyrics3 board, and this take on it makes whatever small suggestions I had moot. Ricki, you’ve done a terrific job of finding the vibe on this one. Would love to hear a full blown version of this—would kill with some depth, but it’s darn solid as is. Well done!

Best regards,

Deej

Oh yeah, we love it when a fine lyric meets a fine “with heart” vocal interpretation. There is a very haunting feel to it that really adds to the lyrics.

We agree with floyd that a bass and drums would nail it (we might suggest a cajon or other light percussion and an upright bass playing held notes). That would be sweet but it most certainly sounds good as is.

Y’all done good!!

Hey Ricki, I'm liking the sparse production on this...it works. Great lyric by Mike. So the verses are filled with great imagery and the chorus stays away from imagery...perfect....LOVE IT....great balance. I love how the chorus starts with the BGV's on the title line. I do have one small suggestions...no biggie but if it were my song, at the last line of the verses, instead of repeating the words "rattles my, rattles my" and "I'm thinking and thinking", I would repeat the title words in that line instead because it's the title...the more you repeat it, the better....so "rattles my heart in my lonely room...my lonely room" or "rattles my heart in my lonely, lonely room". Just my thought...still GREAT WORK.

Thanks for listening, Germain and your thoughts. I could have done it that way but figured Lonely Room was repeated enough times as it was to get the hook/title across. I know, more is better but don't want to brain damage anyone! smile

Rikki/Michael,

Sorry to get here so late, but "making a living" is killing me! mmmmh.......(There's another song title for you Rikki/Mike)...........

What a very cool Blues vibe for some very cool lyrics! Loved it! There are so many different ways to produce a song like this, but really like the sparseness & dominance of the lonely acoustic guitar supporting this song--would like to hear an upright bass and subtle washboard for slight percussion & rhythm!

Great lyric Mike and perfect musical Vibe Ricki. Agree with the addition of a simple bass line and a snare and brush. But I am also hearing some acoustic slide work (think Ballad of Curtis Loew by Skynyrd). Well done.

Hi Kicki,

This is A beautiful piece of music. I have to say that the lyric is off the hook...I love the lyric. I love the mood of which the song was in throughout and the singer made the song her own she sounded cooled, relaxed the whole time. Please excuse me if I am sounding a little excited, I really like the song.

If there was one thing I had to change though about the song, it will be for the lyrics to be sung:

Verse
Chorus
Verse
Chorus
Verse
Chorus

But that is just me, my opinion.

Irwin

Thanks so much for your thoughts, Irwin. Sometimes Mike's lyrics really speak to me as something I COULD have written and usually the music comes as easily as it does for the lyrics I DO write. I love it when everything comes together like that.

I did not change the structure that Mike had, although I could have arranged it like you suggest. No particular reason I didn't. Thanks for listening.

This works well as is, imo.
It sounds "lonely".
If anything, maybe add a harmonica here and there or a cello.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
