about

Says James: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by Hank Williams is my favourite 'lonesome' song. When I went through a spell of loneliness while on tour last year, I used that song as inspiration"

lyrics

The haze from the wildfires blocks out the sun
Everything’s grey and I’m feeling done
The summer seems like it’s on the run
I’m as lonesome as Hank Williams tonight
I’m as lonesome as Hank Williams tonight

No whippoorwill too blue to fly
No falling stars, no purple sky
But still I have to say that I’m
as lonesome as Hank Williams tonight
As lonesome as Hank Williams tonight

It’s
Knowing that you’re just not there
The ominous smoke that fills the air
The uncertainty that’s everywhere
Tonight it’s just too hard to bear

No midnight train to lowly whine
No robins weeping, no moon that’s cryin’
No endless night, and no leaves dyin’
But I’m as lonesome as Hank Williams tonight
as lonesome as Hank Williams tonight
I’m so lonesome I could cry
