Mr. Lonely is Bobby Vinton's tenth studio album, released in 1964. It
was released right after the success of his fourth and final #1 US hit "Mr.
Lonely," a 1962 song that was released as a single after its appearance on
Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits. Cover versions on this album include "Laughing on the Outside (Crying on the Inside)" and "I'll never Smile Again". After the success of the single, Vinton released Bobby Vinton Sings for Lonely Nights, an album of songs devotes to the subject of loneliness. .
Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody for my own.
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
wish I had someone to call on the phone.
I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I wish that I could go back home.
Letters, never a letter,
I get no letters in the mail.
I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,
Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.
I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I wish that I could go back home.

How can you see into my eyes like
open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life.

ALBUM: THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
LABEL: HARVEST
GENRE: PROGRESSIVE ROCK
YEAR: 1973
George Roger Waters (born
6 September 1943) is an English singer, songwriter, bassist, and composer. In
1965, he co-founded the progressive rock band Pink Floyd with drummer Nick
Mason, keyboardist Rick Wright, and guitarist, singer, and songwriter Syd
Barrett. Waters
initially served as the group's bassist, but following the departure of Barrett
in 1968, he also became their lyricist, co-lead vocalist, and conceptual
leader.
Pink Floyd achieved
international success with the concept albums The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish
You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. By the early 1980s, they had become one of the most
critically acclaimed and commercially successful groups in the history of
popular music; by 2013, they had sold more than 250 million albums worldwide.
Amid creative differences, Waters left in 1985 and began a legal dispute with
the remaining members over their use of the band's name and material. They
settled out of court in 1987, and nearly eighteen years passed before he
performed with them again.
The Dark Side of the Moon is
the eighth album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Harvest
Records. The album built on ideas explored in earlier recordings and live
shows, but lacks the extended instrumental excursions following the departure
of founding member and principal contributor, Syd Barrett, in 1968, that
characterised their earlier work. It thematically explores conflict, greed, the
passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by Barrett's
deteriorating mental state.
Developed during live
performances, an early version was premiered several months before recording
began; new material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road
in London. The group used some advanced recording techniques at the time,
including multitrack recording and tape loops. Analogue synthesizers were
prominent in several tracks, and snippets from recorded interviews with Pink
Floyd's road crew and others provided philosophical quotations throughout. Engineer
Alan Parsons was responsible for many distinctively notable sonic aspects and
the recruitment of singer Clare Torry. The album's iconic sleeve, designed by Storm
Thorgerson, depicts a prism spectrum and represents the band's lighting, the
record's thematic material, and keyboardist Richard Wright's "simple and
bold" design request.
Us, and them
And after all we're only
ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we
would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the general sat and the
lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which
and who is who
Up and down
And in the end it's only round
and round... and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle
of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with
the gun
There's room for you inside
"I mean, they're not gunna
kill ya
so if you give 'em a quick short
sharp, shock, they won't do it
again
Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, 'cos I would've given
him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of
opinion
but really... I mean good
manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?
"
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's
a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the
fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of a tea
and a slice
The old man died.
I'LL BE THERE

You and I must make a pact, we must
bring salvation back
And if you need me, oh I'll be there
When I was a little boy, my grandfather said to me
He said,"help your friends and neighbors to live in harmony"
When a man walks in darkness and he stumbles right from wrong
You should be his brother and help him along
Take the time to look around, brothers on the ground
Please don't look the other way
Listen to what, what I, what I have to say
When I was a little boy, my grandfather said to me
He said,"help your friends and neighbors to live in harmony"
[Instrumental]
Haina 'ia mai ana kapuana
When I was a keiki, my tutu kane said to me
He said,"help your friends and neighbors to live in harmony"
When a man walks in darkness and he stumbles right from wrong
