alone

The New York Times “Best Songs of 2020“

“The isolation is palpable in “Alone” by the Chicago songwriter Bonzie, born Nina Ferraro. She picks recurring patterns on her guitar, overdubs her voice in ghostly unison and lets echoes float around her; halfway through, bass tones, deep drum impacts and wind-chime glissandos only amplify the scope of her solitude. The video matches her fingerpicked guitar to finger-painted images. -PARELES”

NPR – “Brilliantly talented.”  “Perfect for these times.”  “The atmospherics on this song are stunning.”

lyrics:

if you walk down, down that
Roman street
you’ll find me
alone

what’s the only cover?
one core wasted
killing time and emotion
who wins in the end?

if you walk down, down that
Roman street
you’ll find me
alone
