tear Technically it is Monday. But I did a late shift today and I have a late shift tomorrow and right now I am wide awake. So I wondered if i would be forgiven for adding a late second entry for SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY. Afterall, it is still Sunday where Jim is!

The thing is…I have been singing this in my head all day. I love this song. I love it even more as a dance track. I don’t know why they let some English popstar get his hands on it and slay it. But anyway…this is the amazing original track in it;s glory. I has to be on the track list of any self-isolation compilation album surely!

Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: ALONE/CONFINED/DEPRESSED/ISOLATED/RESTLESS/SOLO

Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
There’s a big black sky over my town
I know where you’re at, I bet she’s around

Yeah, I know it’s stupid
I just gotta see it for myself

I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
I’m right over here, why can’t you see me, oh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the girl you’re taking home, oh
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own

I’m just gonna dance all night
I’m all messed up, I’m so out of line
Stilettos and broken bottles
I’m spinning around in circles

So far away but still so near
The lights go on, the music dies
But you don’t see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye

I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the girl you’re taking home, oh
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

City, Man, Person, Solo, Window, Alone How topical! A lot of us have had a taste of this over the past few weeks. Perhaps not so much for me, as I have been working hard for long hours seeing lots of patients and my colleagues everyday.

I can’t wait to be with Jack again. Although I have no clue when that will be. As I expected, there is no information available about when flights back to the UK will resume. I am half cross with him, and half thrilled that he managed to get out there and is working hard in very special communities. He would hate to be trapped in that flat with his other flatmates.

Couple, Beach, Love, Holiday, Summer But I had so many hopes and plans and dreams for spending this summer with him that are now all on ice! I won’t let him forget when he eventually gets back here that he owes me a summer!

We have all had plans, hopes, dreams put on hold for a little while. For those of us who are in love but live apart from our beloved at the moment, this time of isolation may have been hard to endure. I am sure I am not the only one who is missing my favourite.

The song I have chosen today is from Heart. I have chosen their cover of a song called “Alone” and it is what I am wishing I had with Jack…to be alone with him again would be a very fine thing!

I hear the ticking of the clock
I’m lying here the room’s pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won’t end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don’t know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don’t know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone
