Last Soul In This Bar
I was sippin in my long time favorite bar when things got way too quiet. I looked up and around and realized...OMG...😉

Not that long ago I was drinking with my friends
We talked about life and how it might end
We’d laugh about the past and all the stormy weather
Living for the moment never thought about forever
Now I don’t want to read too much into this
Don’t want to sound like a paranoid clown
But I just took a look around and saw
Hell I’m the last soul in this bar
Aww the friends I had drinking and laughing
Have all gone on and left me hanging
And now I’m the only face in the mirror
The years have passed they seem so far
Now I’m the last soul in this bar
I’m the last soul
Slipping down a wine hole
I’m the last soul in this bar
The last soul
Stuck here on a stool
I’m the last fool in this bar
break
The lights dimmed down and I took a look around
At the empty seats in the quiet sound
That’s me in the mirror giving back a stare
From the last soul sittin there
Now I love this place and its pine bar top
For thirty years now it’s been my favorite stop
So many good friends that have passed along
Sometimes I see em smiling like they’re not even gone
Aww the friends I had drinking and laughing
Have all gone on and left me hanging
And now I’m the only face in the mirror
The years have passed they seem so far
Now I’m the last soul in this bar
I’m the last soul
Slipping down a wine hole
I’m the last soul in this bar
The last soul
Stuck here on a stool
I’m the last fool in this bar
Now it’s time to leave I’m being called by the stars
And I don’t wanna be the last soul in this bar
Aww the laaaaast soul yeah.....

I was talking to a friend the other day and saying that from now on people in our cohort are going to start dropping out. I think this song is very much on that page. I think a lot of people will understand and nod hearing it.
The harmonica is a great fit to this sound. Could probably benefit from a little more variation in the drums.

it sounds good, the story flows well except right at the end. "i don't want to be the last soul in the bar". doesn't fit for me as the whole song was how he is the last one. perhaps something about how he doesn't want to leave?

"dropping out", that's a nice way of putting it. Or as I say towards the end..."being called by the stars". Thanks for listening Owen.

None of us wants to leave but we're all going to be "called by the stars". And eventually once all your friends have been called...well it gets a little lonely there at the bar by yourself. There's some metaphor going on here, the bar kind of represents life in general. Actually wrote the song from that experience at my favorite bar. Thanks for tuning in and your comment my friend.
