“Lonesome” Lyrics
Does anybody know
Why I get this feeling
I wake up to it eating at the core of me
And so, if dreams are just for show
Just stories without meaning
Why can I not shake them from my bones
Does everybody want to be alone
Tell me it’s okay so I can go home
If everyone wants to be alone
It would make the lonely feel less lonesome
It lingers in my day
It’s lurking in the backyard
Birds just keep on singing, so oblivious
But you, you start to feel it too
Just underneath the surface
Whispers from the left side of the bed
Does everybody want to be alone
Tell me it’s okay so I can go home
If everyone wants to be alone
It would make the lonely feel less lonesome

[@KinaGrannis]

[@fayem4091]

[@missmacy1655]

[@soso-ie3vz]

Hahaha… failed again trynottolaughchallenge

[@song-bg2jg]

IKR!

[@bov4815]

I followed the instructions : 1. Listened to the song eyes closed. 2. After the first listen ,read the lyrics. 3. Watched the music video. Tbh , it was eternal.❤ Great work.

[@jinnydodo]

Kina, I cried when the turtle appeared as a special guest. :) I have a special relationship with nature and animals. They sometimes come to me as these beautiful symbols of life, giving me profound realizations from time to time. Hehe. In 2017, the ocean waves have been trying to tell me something. They told me the turbulence but also peace in life. The year before that, I related a lot to turtles. How their life is so full even with its slow pace. I felt a lot like I was a turtle, slow but steady in walking into adulthood. (Often times I still do.) ❤️ Do you, too? :) Thanks for telling us "You have everything you need." Thank you! Sending you love always from Seoul, Jinny.

[@boehlahz]

Hi Kina. I have been following you for some time now. I really hope you have a breakthrough soon. This song along with the video is beautiful and very emotional. You' re a hidden gem waiting for the sun to reveal you to the world .... Keep going ...

[@KinaGrannis]

boehlahz ❤️🙏🏻

[@kayladelacruz4144]

Everything about this is beautiful ❤️ loved the song and the video. Seeing “you have everything you need” written backwards in the video, I couldn’t help but think of “Heart and Mind” where you sing “I write you letters from right to left, see if you have desire yet to decipher what I said, and learn secrets from my head.” thanks for sharing another piece of you, Kina! I love you music and your artistry.

[@KinaGrannis]

ah i'm so happy you connected the two!!

[@laraetzen]

I'm sitting in my hospital bed, listening to your music. It soothes the soul ❤

[@Kathleen5429]

Lara Etzen get well Lara!

[@laraetzen]

Kathleen5429 thank you! :)

[@KinaGrannis]

[@JustAnotherDronePilot]

Lara Etzen feel better soon!!!!

[@honumuse409]

Lara Etzen, you're in my prayers. Get well soon.

[@justinekristelvillegas2595]

This is so beautiful but also very painful and sad. It reminds me of the time I lost a very precious friendship that made me feel so alone and made me feel that there was something wrong with me, that somehow, the core of my being is an abomination. It made me fear that I will forever be alone in life and that the remaining friends that I have will also be eventually disgusted at me and never accept me again. It also made me remember those lonely and depressed moments when I felt so helpless in life, and I would often just cry alone due to disillusionment, the death of some of my loved ones, and most of all, due to the problems that I encountered for the past three years that never seemed to come to an end. I shut off many people and am now only regaining the courage to really become vulnerable and take risks in all areas of my life again. It was not the best track to take, but I found that those lonely moments became my launching pad to healing and regaining my sense of self and purpose. In the midst of the loneliness, I also remember feeling a sense of "peace" I could not quite explain, but it was there somehow, which seems to me now as an inner feeling that those struggles will soon pass and it is okay to want to be alone for now and figure my feelings and thoughts out by myself, and not let others dictate what life should be and how I should behave or think or love. This song perfectly encapsulates this musing but in reality, my words will never be enough to express how much I am grateful to this song and to you Kina for inspiring me all the time and for helping me recall this phase and become more grateful in life for the healing and peace that I am now experiencing. Thank you so much KIna!!!

[@ardenBcho]

Love love love this ❤️ so beautiful Kina... video is lovely too!!

[@KinaGrannis]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you arden!

[@fayem4091]

If a song by both of you, ever gets uploaded, view counter would break again. Word needs a song like that. Ps i love both of you So So So Much

[@jellahannascano630]

This song literally is my ode to introvert self! It's beautifully done and sung w/ so much honesty and heart! ❤️ That tortoise though... 🤣 I feel JOMO over it... it's like it, telling me, not to ever come out of the shell 🐢 and just enjoy being hermit! lol Aww.. this needs to be spread around but I forgot... so wrapped up... been listening to it, non stop! Kina Grannis always gets me... love her!!! 😂😝😝❤️❤️❤️

[@rkellymiller]

Absolutely hypnotizing. The voice of an angel, a beautiful soul, and a stunningly gorgeous lady. Thank you, Kina, for sharing your gifts with us. You easily make a dark day bright!

[@soficaso]

I followed your advice on getting to know a song! It's so important to appreciate each part of the art being made to accompany a song, because they bring everything together. The melody is sad but somehow comforting, the lyrics are beautiful and healing, the video is so serene, it captures those feelings perfectly :) Tortoises are mostly lonely creatures (and they're adorable!) so I can imagine you have moments where you want to be like one and stay in your own bubble, because the world can be too overwhelming at times. Also, I started crying when I read the message in the sand...I've been needing to hear some encouragement lately and all of this felt just like a tight hug telling me to believe in myself. Thank you Kina

[@KinaGrannis]

Sofia every part of your comment = ❤️😭🙏🏻

[@soficaso]

Kina Grannis Awww, you're the sweetest! 😭 Much love ❤

[@ninjashoon8582]

Such a beautiful song you’ve woven together! It’s sad but comforting at the same time. You truly have a way with words and melodies. Another wonderful song added to the collection. Thank you Kina

[@melaninandaura9713]

When I’m feeling blocked and overwhelmed and broken Kina’s music makes everything make sense. And opens me up. Every time. ❤

[@winfreypablo5046]

I am always grateful for the serendipitous and fortuitous insights that come my way. Listening to this because of Strangers Never Again. Like many instances that come and go, the answers seek you at the right time and place. Reminders that are bittersweet, will fade and eventually become the foundation of a new beginning.

[@abdyeljaramillo3383]

I bet this will be awesome EDIT : That was amazing, I heard this with eyes closed to enjoy it better like you said, and the song had goosebump material all through those 5 minutes. Just have to read the lyrics then watch the video properly (:

[@KinaGrannis]

ah i love that you listened that way!! means so much to have a song given that sort of close attention. thank you!

[@mravii09]

You're not alone that tortoise is right there beside you lol

[@KinaGrannis]

[@rov103]

It's good to see my old African Spurred Tortoise doing well. X) (Not really sure it's mine. I had to give mine to a reserve near Tucson, Arizona.) It's cool to see them, though.

[@katherinehixson2085]

Ah shit!! this was the best thing I read all day!!!! ROTFL

[@dpw7422]

Oh Kina, there you go again! Always putting words to emotions I cannot yet express

[@KinaGrannis]

ah this means so much, thank you darrian! so happy it connected :)

[@ShanaSchellens]

Did you find the tortoise or did it find you (like most animals appear to do)?

[@KinaGrannis]

oh i wish it had found me!

[@kpacubo.]

don't sleep on kina as a director, editor, and colorist of her videos and also as a producer of her own music !!! 🙌🙏🙏👏👏👏 respect!

[@bettyreads222]

How does this simple little lovely song and video with a tortoise make me cry and speak so deeply to that core of my soul and who I am...? How...!? Thank you for making music, Kina. You truly have a gift. Your introversion is your strength and gives me hope. 💙

[@KinaGrannis]

[@nancyzhang3742]

I followed your instructions on your Instagram story, listened to this with headphones in, read the lyrics, then watched the music video. I cried, this is beautiful.

[@HTA80390]

素敵な歌と映像を有難う。 Thank you for beautiful song and imagination !

[@melaninandaura9713]

I don’t comment a whole lot because I get the feeling that Kina gets overwhelmed by too many compliments but I’m Thankful you exist Kina. So thankful. ❤

[@mfactor]

Great job on the song.... Love the turtle

[@almavargas8308]

Esta es una canción del alma. Kina, te has convertido en mi cantautora favorita, tus canciones dicen mucho de lo que a veces no se puede expresar! 💕

[@Imaginedancers]

After so many years listening to Kina, she still never fails to make such beautiful music.

[@Jskew]

Kina, there are days I feel the universe sent you to save me from dying. Thnx. J.

[@KinaGrannis]

Jskew ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Jskew]

Kina Grannis I have never seen or known, or heard such a beautiful soul. In the video you are silouetted in the light but it's the sun jealous of you that makes it shine tho. That simplistic ball of fire longs to outshine the light of your soul. Its attempts are solely feble as you dwarf us all. If a picture is worth a million words, you are so worth a million pictures. J.

[@KinaGrannis]

what incredibly generous and sweet words ❤️😭❤️😭❤️

[@Jskew]

No my words are not generous, they are not enogh. You saved my life. To call you beautiful is an insult as you are so much more. J.

[@zerolucksgivenzeroluckstak1763]

[@souldiver1237]

Percentage of haters to lovers (? *smile*), well 8/10 of 1%. _No one_ has a ratio like that. Which suits, since Kina's voice is one of a kind.

[@josephlane5529]

So I have a question, You cover cant help falling in love by elvis, why not are you lonesome? I think you would be amazing at that song. Me and my girlfriend got introduced to your songs from Crazy rich asians and love it.

[@pintofharps4093]

Your voice remembers me Feist but your lyrics are very interesting. I'd like to understand them completely. But I'm french, it's a kind of disability in english.

[@MrDagame221]

WOW! 1.2M Subs now?! I haven't visited your page in a MINUTE. Glad to see the come up!! 😊

[@eminishida524]

Hi Kina!! This is simply beautiful and the lyrics are a masterpiece. I've grown up with your music and some of my fondest memories have your songs playing in the background- thank you for inspiring me musically and being such a truly unique artist. I know that during those times of feeling like I have nobody this will be a song I can add to the list to go to, and that means everything to me 💛

[@KinaGrannis]

Emi Nishida this means so much ❤️🙏🏻

[@michelleroelse]

Hey everyone. I am about to graduate in a couple of months. Because I have so much free time then I really wanted to go and get a nice guitar and start learning how to play it but I don't know where tot start so do you have some tips ? ( I don't have a a huge budget unfortunately) thank you 😙❤ Kina you are really one of the best singers 😊

[@TamieLe]

This song came out at such a good time for me. The night before I was having the same feelings you managed to translate so seamlessly into your song. Your first verse had me in tears. Thank you Kina. Forever a supporter of you and your beautiful music.

[@josadelapena2801]

I hope you notice me kina! I’m always listening to your songs when I’m sad! I love you kina!❤️

[@JesusVerdugoSanz]

A beautiful girl with beautiful voice? Not at all, she´s directed, edited, colored the video and she´s written, produced and mixed the song... and in her free times...Thanks Kina for sharing all your art! We want more!

[@EmAtHome]

So amazing Kina. I love that you directed, edited, colored, produced, recorded, mixed the song and video. You are such a girl boss. Forever one of my heroes and musical inspirations. I hope I can be half the musician you are some day! Love you! Absolutely stunning song and video.

[@KinaGrannis]

kg, it's been a good long while since I visited your channel. (note to self: visit more often) While I'm more drawn to your songs with lighter, brighter emotions, anything that shares a facet of the human experience has its own beauty. This is lovely. I hope creating it was as rewarding for you as hearing it is for us. I'm quite sure I'm not alone in my gratitude to you and the countless others who share their songs with us. All the best to you and yours, mm

[@NintendoNerdKim]

This song speaks to me. I just recently had a really deep heart to heart with a guy I met on Tinder who ended up going to the same community college as me, and ended up transferring to the same college as me a semester later into my program...and at the time when I met him, we both weren't really ready to be in a relationship. The timing was not right...then after he transferred to my school, he had a GF that he met and goes there too...and I recently realized I still like him...and the heart to heart conversation we had made my poor heart ache.

[@lotsoflovemadelief]

Again you made something wonderful and timeless, love you Kina ❤️
