The River Flow 02:35
lyrics

Verse 1: I feel at home in your arms so please, don't break my heart Let's look ahead, instead of me falling apart Falling for you like snowflakes in the sky Kiss me, oh so tenderly and turn around so I can say Chorus: You seem to have captured my heart A sunny hello from the river flow You had it from the start Verse 2: I'm set for life with your heart under my skin Whenever you hold me tight I feel like the room could spin Underneath the skyline in a square I can feel All my feelings and my prayers collide in this surreal lifestyle Repeat chorus Repeat chorus

Alone 03:55

Verse 1: I know that there's no way to avoid you Or get you out of here So I'll runaway like I'm supposed to And turn time to next year Out of sight out of mind Falling in love is just a dream Who knows what I will find You know that I'm just seventeen Chorus: I can't stand another minute (Another minute) of being here with you So take me home (So take me home) where I can be alone Verse 2: They say that love is blind But I think differently Whoever said that's never seen the way you look at me I know I can get through this if you're at home When I get there I can not help but run away so take care Repeat Chorus Bridge: I've been waiting for seventeen years For a girl like you everyday And when she is finally here I can't help but to run away Repeat Chorus Where I can be alone

Worth the World 02:35

Verse 1: You and me in harmony At the bottom of the deep blue sea For you see, we're meant to be Chorus: I am falling towards the earth Through my eyes, oh, you are worth the world Verse 2: I look to the west from where I rest On these building tops and my love will not stop If I'm higher or if I retire Repeat Chorus Bridge: Oh, and I will love you Even if the stars don't align Oh, and I have been there Even though I know you shouldn't be mine Repeat Chorus

You Were... 03:48

Verse: It's been five years now Since we went our seperate ways But how was I to know That I'd dearly miss those days Chorus: I'm diving into thoughts of you And oh, these thoughts are so overdue Maybe there's time before I hit the surface To break my own heart before you ever get chance Verse 2: I fell in the shadow of Those lonely nights when I'd fall in love But it's just a ruse So I can hide before I lose Repeat Chorus x2

Verse 1: Clear my lungs so I can breathe And clear the streets so I can leave Where do I go from here? Verse 2: Getting close to the midnight sky Don't say goodbye and don't you cry If I could see you one more time I'd fall in love with you again Where do I go from here? Bridge: Can you believe in what you can't see? Well let me just say that love's that way

Walking Blind 02:48
lyrics

Verse 1: I kneel at my bedside every night And I pray to God that He just might Help you see what you're supposed to do Because the wall you're standing behind is see-through Get up, get up it's time to go home now But do you even know where home is? Get up, get up but do you even know how? You don't have my heart by you have His Chorus: You don't know where you're going And you don't know what you'll find Because, my friend, you're walking blind Verse 2: Can you find your way through the dark? You've got nothing to see with but just a spark Stumbling around in the wilderness Aren't you getting just a bit too tired of this? Follow my voice to eternal survival When in this world you've got only rivals And follow God and you'll make your arrival And if you pray then you'll make your revival Repeat Chorus x3

I Never Was In Love 02:37

Verse 1: Life is going well, like a five star hotel And I keep ringing, like an old, worn church bell But I'm not living up to your expectations How can I make the best of this situation Chorus: I know all this time I've always been innocent of Everything that you had ever thought I was, I never was in love Verse 2: I need to take pills just to feel happy If you need one too, all you gotta do is ask me I feel like climbing up the bridge of insanity Things just are going wrong inside of me Repeat chorus Repeat chorus

Verse 1: I am here tonight I feel the heat from the bright lights Emotions fill me and I know I've been here before And there's the open door Chorus: Can you tell me what I'm waiting for? What I'm waiting for What I'm waiting for Can you tell me if there's something more? If there's something more If there's something more Verse 2: I feel like I'm scared Scared because I am unprepared I'm walking towards the light Why do I feel like I'm here to fight? Bridge: Baby, I wanna t-take you all across the sky Baby, I wanna t-take you where you can all mine

The Lonely Road 02:46
lyrics

Verse 1: My shadow leads the way on the lonely road No one knows where to go, no one knows where to Wondering why I'm on the lonely road Where does this road really go? Where does this road go? Chorus: My soul cries out to me "Please, don't forsake me 'Cause I, I'm just forgotten" Verse 2: Trees pass by me on the lonely road Dead and withered; all alone Dead and all alone The end draws near for me on the lonely road So many people walk this road So many people Repeat Chorus Verse 3: The burden I carry on the lonely road All of those who walk this road Must carry this load Bridge: I can see the light at the end of the lonely road The lonely road ends here And then the voice of God says "From my hands now you are free"

about

Abandon Solitary is a one-man band similar to that of Owl City. Avery Thorn does it all and his Hope for the Heartless is a blend of lively and heartfelt gems mixed with instrumental genius. Artists have a tendency to remind listeners of artists from the past decades. However, Thorn takes it to a whole new level by showcasing his skills on the keys and throwing it back to the true artists of the Classical and Renaissance periods. Thorn’s musicianship is shown on tracks such as “AAA” which has the same essence as a Chopin classic. It awakes emotions of a stark day watching the rainfall reminiscing on memories you’d give your left arm to relive just one more time. Abandon Solitary has tracks that make you do everything from crack a smile to shed a tear. Thorn takes listeners on a journey of variety offering both songs packed full of passionate lyrics to instrumentals that show off an artist. Fans of The Postal Service, and Jack’s Mannequin’s latest The Glass Passenger will fall hard for Abandon Solitary’s Hope for the Heartless.

Track 1: “The River Flows” kicks off Hope for the Heartless with a lively spirit. The Rocket Summer, lighthearted vibe will grab audiences’ attentions. Then the lyrics will make sure they never leave. This is a genuine love song that is absent of the usual clichés, which proves it to be from the heart.

Track 6: “Hope for the Heartless” is a unique choice for the title track. The purely instrumental arrangement can be seen as the modern grandbaby of a Vivaldi. Both men know the importance of variety in a song, and are able to capture all the senses with the flick of the wrist on the ivory keys.

Track 16: “The Lonely Road” has an eerie, yet captivating tone. The somber beat paints the portrait of a person at wits end. “So many people walk this road” tugs at the heartstrings of every listener because even the grandest social butterfly has had their day of solitude. With the realization that everyone feels alone at times, fans will appreciate they are indeed not alone, and that is the main idea behind music; not only connecting with the audience, but moving them as well.
