There was a story in the local press a while back which has been on my mind.
Long story short.
Elderly lady lived alone and died alone.
It was 2 years after her death before her body was discovered.
As individuals and as a society we have questions we need to ask ourselves.
The song is a straight ahead blues/rocker thang,nothing fancy or groundbreaking,but it's from the heart and if it encourages any listener to call on a friend or neighbour,then that may dilute the isolation and exclusion some experience every day.
Sorry to get heavy and preachy,but sometimes folk matter even when little else does.

But no one said hello
Hey,hey,is anyone there?
In some ways she was glad
The phone rang when she was sad
Hey,hey,is anyone there?
She sits by the fire burning low
With memories from long ago
Hey,hey is anyone there?
This Monday passed on a week
Where she hasn't heard anyone speak
Hey,hey,is anyone there?
Jodie was found in her chair
Two years dead,no one cared
Hey,hey,is anyone there?
People come,people go
No one sheds a tear
People come,people go
Were we ever here?
