Empty Room Night
From the album Convertino (2022) - download at korpenning.bandcamp.com.
This is the first song I finished for the album. I went down a rabbit hole of trying to learn more about music production and the song was years old by the time I finished the album. I still really love this song and the recording, especially the sound of the slide guitar. The guitar style of picking and strumming mimics Justin Townes Earle's unique style but with 1% of the skill.
Lyrics:
On an empty room night
It's hard to be alone
The raindrops collide
As they run down the window
Books read one another
And the trains run through the station
It's hard to be alone
When you feel those connections
Even in the coldest bed
You know something is nearing
When you feel those connections
It's hard to tell yourself you're not hearing
The sound of some lost love asking
"Have you lost all direction?"
An empty room night
Is filled with endless provocation
Once you let it in you can't turn it down
In an empty room night I reach out and I drown
You've never seen a room fill up so quickly
Shadow boxing in a room that is empty
An empty room
Isn't empty for long
Once you hear that slow train spark
Coming head on
...
