2nd Single from the album. I originally had a demo for this song that just had me playing the rhythm guitar part and slapping down a rushed lead part (that actually made it into the song for the most part) and singing the one line I had, that being the chorus, and humming the rest of the melody. It was late at night when I did that demo and couldn't play the drums at risk of waking up everyone in my house so I banged my fist on the desk for a kick drum, tapped a pen for the High-Hat, and clapped for a snare. Wanting to keep that vibe I had for it when doing the actual recording, I added that percussive improvisation to the song as well as the actual drums in the final version.
Copied from the Single:
My brother Marshall and my friend Adam helped come up with parts for the music and the idea for the harmonica so I credited them as writers for the song. I'm the only one playing on this recording though. This is the only exception on this album where I didn't write "Everything" but I thought I'd give it a pass cause it's a good song.
lyrics
Does It Make You Feel Lonely?
Written By: Martin Samuel Wells III
Does it make you feel lonely?
Does it make you feel sad?
If it don’t make you wanna run away,
Does it really hurt that bad?
I don’t mind the time that’s flying by before my eyes.
Don’t need to be reminded of before I said goodbye.
So, try to realize it’s almost suicide.
Does it make you feel lonely?
Does it make you feel sad?
If it don’t make you wanna run away,
Does it really hurt that bad?
Does it make you feel lonely?
Does it make you feel sad?
If it don’t make you wanna run away,
Does it really hurt that bad?
Look at yourself and what you’ve done, what makes you think you’re being cool?
I thought I played my part but now it seems like I’m the fool.
I know what’s right, I know what’s wrong, I’m not your tool.
As you know, I’ve already said it’s over.
Does that mean anything to you?
Does it make you feel lonely?
Does it make you feel sad?
If it don’t make you wanna run away,
Does it really hurt that bad?
Does it make you feel lonely?
Does it make you feel sad?
If it don’t make you wanna run away,
Does it really hurt that bad?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Does it make you feel lonely baby?
Does it make you feel lonely baby?
Does it make you feel lonely?
