Name: Glass Is Empty Now
Duration: P00H03M15S
Description: Re-interpretation of a song I wrote some 30 years ago, when I was in love with a beautiful young woman way out of my league. Rather than at the object of my unrequited desire the anger of the song is more directed at the silly young man I was.

Re-interpretation of a song I wrote some 30 years ago, when I was in love with a beautiful young woman way out of my league. Rather than at the object of my unrequited desire the anger of the song is more directed at the silly young man I was.

lyrics

Small blue eyes
Long hair
Too many people
Too much talk
All around
No part of it
Lonely
In a crowded room

I’ve seen you
In my drink
Thoughts I hate
And dreams that never end
But kill
The flesh remains

Long hair
I’ve seen you
In the smoke
In my drink

I’ve seen you
In my drink
But the glass is empty now

Schönfeld recommends:

A Journal Of The Plague Year (a compilation)
by Sunex Amures

Fellow bandcamper Sunex Amures makes the best out of our year of the plague and releases one scorcher after another. From rocking Baroque Prog to funky, punky Psyche it's all there. Unmissable. Schönfeld

Holy Wars
by Tuxedomoon

Heroes. Gods. No other band sounded like them 40 odd years ago, and no band does now. Avantgarde, left-field and immensely listenable - you simply MUST hear these guys' work. Schönfeld

Live with The No.6 Orchestra
by Everything Everything

Proof that intelligent Rock and Pop is alive and well! Blending angular guitar work, otherworldly vocals and vast soundscapes with modern rhythms this youngsters succeed where other fail. Great stuff! Schönfeld
