专辑简介
...Waltzing Alone is wistful, earnest, heart on your sleeve. It speaks to the collective human soul through themes of love and tragedy to which we can all relate, and treasures the most unassuming moments - painting them as some of the most beautiful in life.
At first feeling unoriginal in light of the amount of love songs he turned out for the album, Kevin came to terms with his approach. "The reason love is the greatest theme is that when you're in a relationship, your senses are so heightened; you're lifted out of the banal; you notice more and you see more details," he said. "I think that it's within that idea of a relationship that you learn a lot more about yourself because it's far more dramatic (than normal life) - that's why I write love songs."
...Waltzing Alone features twelve heartfelt tracks, leading with the aforementioned "Philosophia," and into the tale of a first night-swim, "Portmarnock Beach Boy Blue"; what it means to be lovers, "Told You So"; choosing the path of solitude, "Wonderful Wizard"; the chilling yet intimate "Rosanna"; whimsical new love, "I Think I Love You"; inevitability of death based on a Shelley poem of the same title, "Ozymandias"; unfulfilled passion, "A Lifetime in Heat"; a tribute to Leonard Cohen, "Koan"; the Marvin Gaye influenced "Vertigo"; leaving love behind, "Cold Truth"; and finally a simple and lonely piece about the lover who didn't show up, "Tromboner."
