LONELY NIGHTS
Artist: Lorenzo Wood
Song Release Date: May 6th 2022
Young producer Lorenzo Wood is back with his own song, LONELY NIGHTS, a trappy guitar-based pop-punk lament that balances between the optimism of someday finding someone to love, and the darkness of being alone.
Similar artists: Jxdn, Machine Gun Kelly, The Kid LAROI, Travis Barker
This song has several distinct parts — the contemplative trap-like first part; at 1:25 a new verse brings in heavy guitar elements that let loose at 1:58 or so; at 2:36, a banger guitar solo and the final chorus.
“LONELY NIGHTS” is one banger of a song. Wood is relatable and vulnerable throughout…
…this single will surely have you jamming out.
Playing on the way that pop music accumulates elements from its surroundings, we get a nice synthesis of laid-back hip-hop grooves with the more ferocious strumming of a punk lineage. Wood dreams about the person he’ll meet who will light up his life, but ultimately ends up drinking Modelo and pouring another shot while asking himself, “Am I an addict yet?”.
It is a perfect piece of alternative rock, which has a lot of atmosphere and its style will catch your attention just by running the first minute.
Lorenzo writes:
I wrote LONELY NIGHTS originally for a songwriting class assignment to write something in a minor key. It summarized how I was feeling over the course of the year. Last year my roommates had gotten into relationships and I felt left out.
I didn’t want it to be a totally depressing song so I added a bit of optimism, thinking about the future and what I want.
I thought the energy of the hip-hop drums and 808 and the electric guitars encapsulated the angst and emotion I was trying to convey. I had just bought a hollow body electric guitar, a D’Angelico EXL-1, and I sat down to write with it. That guitar inspired me to create some fresh sounds.
It had been a while since I had last released a song, so I really got to re-imagine my sonic signature. And since then, I’ve been creating more songs inspired by that sonic palette. I’ve been spending so much time producing other people’s songs, that this was the first song in a while where I really got to focus on my own sound.

Lyrics
It’s just another night I’m alone in my bed Been too damn long it’s all getting to my head Thoughts keep flowing by and the bad ones stay with me All I ever wanted was someone to lay here with me I know I’ll probably find someone someday that lights my life Til then Guess I’ll have to get used to all these lonely nights Was with my fellas They with their ladies We drinkin modelos We gettin faded We say our goodbyes Go back to our places Now I’m alone while they all prolly getting laid yuh Feel like I’m missing out That I’m inadequate Pour me another shot to help me to forget Help me to forget That it’s just another night I’m alone in my bed Been too damn long this shit’s messing with my head Thoughts keep flowing by and the bad ones stay with me All I ever wanted was someone to lay here with me I know I’ll probably find someone someday That lights my life Til then Guess I’ll have to get used to all these lonely nights I dream about the day when I’m livin large and thriving A brand new house with A Bentley up the driveway But that shit ain’t important All I really need is one thing To wake up every morning With my honey right beside me She gets all my jokes Got chemistry like lightning Her voice just like an angel And she likes to cook beside me So every night we Hop in that king size Stay up a little longer Make up for all that lost time When it was Just another night I’m alone in my bed Been too damn long this shit’s getting to my head Thoughts keep flowing by and the bad ones stay with me All I ever wanted was someone to lay here with me I know I’ll probably find someone someday That lights my life Til then Guess I’ll have to get used to all these lonely nights Feel like I’m missing out That I’m inadequate Pour me another drink am I an addict yet? Fuck that It's just another night I’m alone in my bed Been too damn long this shit’s getting to my head Thoughts keep flowing by and the bad ones stay with me All I ever wanted was someone to lay here with me I know I’ll probably find someone someday That lights my life Til then Guess I’ll have to get used to all these lonely nights
