about

This new, re-recorded version of 'City Lights' bridges the gap between 'Everything Viewed Backwards Through The Rearviewmirror' and the forthcoming 'Endless Sunset Oblivion', the first two long-player records from Edinburgh, Scotland's The Lonely Together.

The 'Newark Universe Visualiser' video was conceived in a Newark, NJ hotel room on the evening of Sunday 25th September 2022, a storm providing the perfect kaleidoscope backdrop to the song and its lyrical themes of safety/comfort, vulnerability and loneliness.

lyrics

The Lonely Together - 'City Lights'

I don't know how this started
I don't want this to end
but do you want me?

I'm standing in the rain here
and you're so far away
but you can have me

When all of this is over
maybe we could live in peace
I know they could use a rest and so could we

No need to feel embarrassed
Just embrace ability
Then come running home and embrace me

Some men will never find love
They're chasing all the wrong kind of city girls
And it's true that there are many
But for me, there was only ever one

The city air feels warm now
It's floodlit by the sun
But everything looks different, now you're gone

I've never been so worried
and I've never felt so scared
in the knowledge that I cannot be there

Some men will never find love
They're chasing all the wrong kind of city girls
And it's true that there are many
But for me, there was only ever one

Some men will never find love
They're chasing all the wrong kind of city girls
And you're my only hope, 'cos there's so many
But for me, there was only ever one
