Band: Hawksley Workman
Song: Lonely People
Album: Los Manlicious

Why this song is awesome:
I’m like most people, I think. I get lonely from time to time. I’ve felt that at many times in my life.
Well, one day I went to a Hawksley Workman concert. And afterwards, I thought about hearing this song. A song about losing people and hurting and being alone. Seeing thousands of people gathered, listening to and loving this song, teaches you something. However alone you feel, there’s always someone out there feeling the same. We’re all lonely people sometimes, and that’s exactly why we’re never alone.
Here’s some of the lyrics. They’re beautiful and simple:
And I called you my friend /And you carried me in / But it’s all gone / Left me all lost/ And why did this have to end? In truth I’m questioning. / Are lonely people, all that we know?
