Lesson transcript
Music Lesson: "When I'm Alone"
Hey, it's Lissy.
Verse 1
And when I'm alone, I turned my back,
You were gone in a flash, like you always do.
You've always gone out somewhere else.
And when the phone rang,
I thought it was you.
I sprained like a kid who just got out of school,
But it's almost always the same , never you, never you.
Chorus
I stay like a child, my inside,
Oh, when wild and when I'm alone.
You make me feel, and you let me feel when I'm alone.
And you have the world, and you out.
Verse 2
And when I reach out,
I only grab air.
It kills me to think that you never did care,
And it's hopeless,
You've always run how? Somewhere else.
And I throw in a tantrum.
Why are you... oh, it's such a fantastic.
Chorus
And when I'm alone, but you,
And you let me feel, and you let me feel when I'm alone.
You are the one, and you are the one.
Remind me of home when you're around me.
Bridge
Next time you leave,
Don't go without me.
No, don't go, no, no.
'Cause you made me feel, you make me feel when I'm alone.
You are the world, and you are the world when I'm alone.
Outro
Yeah, you let me feel, and you let me be.
Yeah, I am alone with you,
You are around, oh, home,
Oh, I am, no, when I'm alone.

Lissie is a folk-rocker who grew up in Rock Island, Illinois, near the Mississippi River, speaking her mind and writing songs from an early age. Fans first fell in love with her voice on the five-song EP 'Why You Runnin'', produced by Bill Reynolds of Band of Horses, which Paste Magazine ranked among its Eight Most Auspicious Musical Debuts.
In 2010, her first full-length album 'Catching A Tiger' unassumingly established Lissie as a global voice. Stateside praise was matched in the UK with acclaim from the BBC, Evening Standard, Uncut and The Independent, who described it as "as refreshing a slice of pop as these jaded ears have heard in years." The album went on to sell 300,000 copies worldwide - 100,000 of them in the UK, where it was certified Gold.
Highlights along the way:
- Nominated for Best Breakthrough Act at the Q Awards, and tapped by VH1 as a "You Oughta Know" artist
- Festival sets at Glastonbury, Hard Rock Calling, Latitude, Secret Garden Party and Bestival
- TV appearances including Later with Jools Holland and Sunday Brunch
- Screen roles in Loudermilk and David Lynch's Twin Peaks, where NME praised her "intense" performance closing the episode with the Stevie Nicks-esque 'Wild West': "Rock Island's most exciting troubadour more than earned her Lynch-commissioned screen time."
- 'Carving Canyons' (out September 16), her first full-length album since the UK Top 10 'Castles' in 2018
In her guitar course, Lissie shares the chords, strumming and songwriting instincts behind her songs - everything you need to start playing like Rock Island's finest troubadour.
