Lonesome Mood
The Friends of Distinction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yes you gone now
What is there for me to do?
Cry, no I'll just be sad and blue
But you taught me how to love, it's true
Why did you leave me here too blue?
You left me, left me in a lonesome mood

This heart aches, not an easy thing to lose
Now here alone I sing the blues
This feeling, oh what a lonesome mood

Now that you've gone
I feel so bad
I lost the only love that I ever had
You left me, left me in a lonesome mood

Do do do, do do do do do do do
Cry
Do do do do do do do
Do do, do do do do do do do
Why
Do do do do do do do
do do do

Now that you've gone
I feel so bad
Lost the only love that I ever had
You left me, left me in a lonesome mood

Bye now, oh what a lonesome mood
Bye now, oh what a lonesome mood
Bye now, oh what a lonesome mood
Bye bye, now now, oh

Overall Meaning

The Friends of Distinction's "Lonesome Mood" is a song about heartbreak and the pain of losing a lover. The lyrics express a deep sense of sadness and loneliness that the singer feels after being left by their partner. The song's opening lines "Oh yes you gone now, what is there for me to do?" immediately convey the sense of loss and helplessness that the singer is experiencing. They are left with nothing to do but to "cry" but instead choose to be "sad and blue" and sing the blues - indicating that the singer's emotions are overwhelming and powerful.


Despite the heartache, the singer acknowledges that their former partner taught them how to truly love. The line "But you taught me how to love, it's true" suggests that the relationship was a significant one, and that it had a lasting impact on the singer. However, the ultimate question asked in the song is: "Why did you leave me here too blue?" The lyrics do not provide an answer but the absence of one adds to the overall sadness and confusion of the song. The song closes with the singer saying goodbye, but they are still left in a "lonesome mood" - perhaps suggesting that closure is not the solution.
