about
acoustic rendition of a song originally recorded by HR in 2008. See the singles album for the original version.
lyrics
Sex is the only reason why
people walk by holding hands
Look at them walking to the streets of life
I might as well stay alone tonight
I'll stay alone tonight
I will stay alone tonight
But don't you stay alone tonight
You'll be drinking in the dead of night
You'll be drifting in the dead of night
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
So don't you stay alone tonight
You'll hate the way they are
but if you dance with them you're in love again
i might as well
you might as well
stay alone tonight
we will stay alone tonight
You'll be drinking in the dead of night
You'll be drifting in the dead of night
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
So don't you stay alone tonight

Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
The new album from L.A.’s Wayne Everett leans heavily into shimmery California pop, songs centered around beatific melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2020
