After her untimely death at age 43, music critic Terry Teachout wrote, "Nancy’s unabashedly romantic performances of the old-fashioned songs she loved were nonetheless bringing her, after a quarter-century of scuffling, the kind of national exposure no other baby-boom cabaret artist had yet received. When she died, she was on the verge of real fame—not the small-time celebrity of a New York club singer, but something bigger and more far-reaching."
She released five albums.
No One Is Alone
Nancy LaMott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now your on your own
Only me beside you
Still your not alone
No one is alone truly
No one is alone
Sometimes people leave you
Others may deceive you
You decide whats good
You decide alone
But no one is alone
People make mistakes
Fathers, mothers,
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking their alone
Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
What another's terrible mistakes
Witches can be right
Giants can be good
You decide whats right
You decide whats good
Just remember you move just a finger
Say the slightest word
Somethings bound to linger
Someone is on your side
No one is alone
Nothings gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothings gonna harm you
No sir not while I'm around
Demonds are frawling everywhere nowadays
Ill send them howling I don't care
I have ways
No ones gonna hurt you
No ones gonna dare
Others may desert you not to worry
Whistle ill be there
Demons will charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time nothings gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Not to worry
Not to worry
I may not be smart
But I ain't not dumb
I can do it
Put me to do it
Show me something I can over come
Not to worry
You move just a finger
Say the slightest word
Somethings bound to linger
Be heard
No one is alone believe me
No one is alone
Hard to see the light now
Just don't let it go
Things will come out right now
Thats the best I know
Someone is on your side
No one is alone
The song "No One is Alone" by Nancy LaMott is a powerful testament to the idea that people are never truly alone in the world. The lyrics describe a journey through life, in which people are forced to confront their fears and learn to make their own decisions. The song opens with the lines "No one here to guide you, now you're on your own," suggesting a sense of abandonment or loneliness. But the next line, "only me beside you, still you're not alone," offers a more optimistic view of the situation. Even when people feel like they are all alone, there is always someone there to support them, even if it is just one person.
The next section of the song seems to describe the different challenges people may face in life. "Sometimes people leave you halfway through the wood, others may deceive you," the lyrics say. These lines suggest that people may be let down or betrayed by others, but ultimately they must learn to make their own decisions and choose what is right for them. The song acknowledges that people will make mistakes, but it implores listeners to "honor their mistakes" and recognize that everyone makes them.
The final section of the song offers a sense of hope and encouragement. The lyrics suggest that even when things seem bleak, there is always someone on your side. "Nothings gonna harm you, not while I'm around," the song assures us. It suggests that demons may be everywhere in the world, but there are ways to confront them and come out on top. The song ultimately leaves us with the message that "no one is alone," and that there is always hope, even in the darkest moments of life.
