Last Soul In This Bar
« on: »
I was sipin in my favorite bar a while back when I realized...OMG I'm the only one left!  These are all human players on my original song me singing.

https://youtu.be/pnRWEgkuph0?si=0h88NjNZtn7C0DTt

Not that long ago I was drinking with my friends
We talked about life and how it might end
We’d laugh about the past and all the stormy weather               
Living for the moment never thought about
forever

Now I don’t want to read too much into this
Don’t want to sound like a paranoid clown
But I just took a look around and saw
Hell I’m the last soul in this bar

The friends I had drinking and laughing
Have all gone on and left me hanging
And now I’m the only face in the mirror
The years have past they seem so far
Now I’m the last soul in this bar

I’m the last soul
Slipping down a wine hole
I’m the last soul in this bar
The last soul
Stuck here on a stool
I’m the last fool in this bar

break

The lights dimmed down and I took a look around
At the empty seats in the quiet sound
That’s me in the mirror giving back a stare
From the last soul   sittin there

Now I love this place and its pine bar top
For thirty years now it’s been my favorite stop
So many good friends that have past along
Sometimes I see em smiling like they’re not even gone

the friends I had drinking and laughing
Have all gone on and left me hanging
And now I’m the only face in the mirror
The years have past they seem so far
Now I’m the last soul in this bar

I’m the last soul
Slipping down a wine hole
I’m the last soul in this bar
The last soul
Stuck here on a stool
I’m the last fool in this bar

Now it’s time to leave I’m being called by the stars
And I don’t wanna be the last soul in this bar
Aww the laaaaast soul.....
Outro break

Really enjoyed this !
If fun and pain can coexist, well you've nailed the feeling, though, I think it's more tongue in cheek theme wise.
Musically, it feels great, some neat guitar riffs come and go, and you've sung it very convincingly, like I believe you're the last guy in a bar, late at night.

"And now I’m the only face in the mirror" and "Don’t want to sound like a paranoid clown", these are really effective lyrics.

Muchos Gracias Amigo.  You probably know how these things sometimes happen.  As a story/song writer my eyes and ears are always open for a good hook...lo and behold there it was one afternoon in my favorite bar...everyone was gone but me. I don't mean just left to go somewhere else.  In many cases my old bar room friends have flown to the big bar in the sky...but they're still with me when I'm sippin alone...I can hear em laughing like their not even gone...Thanks for tuning in and your kind words my friend.
