Alone, Again

Quiet Song is a solo piano album by Paul Bley, recorded in Norway in 1974 and released on Bley's own Improvising Artists label in 1975.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars noting "Bley stayed mainly in the piano's center, creating nimble melodies, working off them and crafting alternate directions or intriguing counterpoints. It was intellectual, occasionally stiff, but never dull or detached".

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Alone Again

    by: Lazlo Bane

    In a little while from now,
    If I'm not feeling any less sour
    I promised myself to treat myself
    And visit a nearby tower,
    And climbing to the top,
    Will throw myself off
    In an effort to make it clear to who
    Ever what it's like when your shattered
    Left standing in the lurch, at a church
    Where people 're saying,
    "My God that's tough, she stood him up!
    No point in us remaining.
    May as well go home."
    As I did on my own,
    Alone again, naturally
    To think that only yesterday,
    I was cheerful, bright and gay,
    Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
    The role I was about to play
    But as if to knock me down,
    Reality came around
    And without so much as a mere touch,
    Cut me into little pieces
    Leaving me to doubt,
    All about God and His mercy
    For if He really does exist
    Why did He desert me
    In my hour of need?
    I truly am indeed,
    Alone again, naturally
    It seems to me that
    There are more hearts
    Broken in the world
    That can't be mended
    Left unattended
    What do we do? What do we do?
    (instrumental break)
    Now looking back over the years,
    And what ever else that appears
    I remember I cried when my father died
    Never wishing to have cried the tears
    And at sixty-five years old,
    My mother, God rest her soul,
    Couldn't understand, why the only man
    She had ever loved had been taken
    Leaving her to start with a heart
    So badly broken
    Despite encouragement from me
    No words were ever spoken
    And when she passed away
    I cried and cried all day
    Alone again, naturally
