Onyxx posted this video in her Facebook page, and I suspect it was because of George, the very adorable cat perched on the the singer's guitar. Admittedly, I myself went to the YouTube page because of the cat, but I stayed because of the voice. Ayleen O'Hanlon is a singer from Melbourne, and she's an amazing songwriter as well, matching her hauntingly beautiful voice with soulful lyrics. Loverless is her debut single, and it's a beautiful song about finding ourselves in solitude: "I think it’s time we talked to ourselves a little more...And it’s time we held our own hands a little more. Our hands."
LOVERLESS
Out in the pouring rain
The bending trees
Salute the wind
Do they hear me singing
I’m calling out
To the ends
Of the earth
Do they see me dancing
I’m swaying side to side
Holding on to nothing
I am loverless
And light
Countless are the days
Of the year
The year gone by
And so time stands still
While the colours
And the lovers that I’ve known
Blend and spill
But they’ll wash out with the tide
While I’m
Swaying side to side
Holding on to nothing
I am loverless
And light
I think it’s time
We talked
To ourselves a little more
Ourselves
And it’s time
We held
Our own hands a little more
Our hands
I’m a strong believer
That the soul won’t defeat us
And the rain
It will clear up
For the loverless
Out in the pouring rain
The bending trees
Salute the wind
Because how can we share ourselves, our love, with another person if we haven't found or don't love ourselves first?
