Description: Ooh, look, a YouTube vid of me in a singlet. Just what the people wanted. It’s a home-office rendition of I’ll Take Lonely Tonight, a song I wrote about not having sex. : ) The studio version comes out in about a month (it’s very cool I can’t wait woohoo etc), but I want you guys to be able to learn it and record your own versions, if you wanna, before I drop mine. Maybe one day, somewhere, I’ll be able to get one of you lovely mofos up to play it with me. Lyrics here.
