about

“Love In Vain started at Studio-23 at the end of June 2020. Further sessions commenced with instrumentalists in July of 2020. Various vocal sessions throughout 2021 and 2022 yielded my most exhilarating, creative, and inspired performances to date. It's an odyssey. The song has elements of Prog, Rock, Pop, R&B, Trap and so much more. It’s also my first official release under my Broken Cloud Entertainment label. The full seven minute version will be released alongside single edits and a video later in the year. It will be part of an EP/album of songs recently recorded at STUDIO-23." - Orvis

lyrics

I might have nothing left but I don't ever want to beg of you
And when you pass me by don't look into my eyes the way you do

It was the loneliest time of day
When you turned and walked away

And what it meant to me was feelings I just can't explain
Heaven-sent to me, Love
Would nothing stop the rain?
It takes a lot of nerve to act like you're the only one who feels any kind of pain
Love in vain

I'm so impatient and I want to have you all to myself
I'll sing a lament as I sink into the night behind the walls
Oh well

It was the loneliest time of day
When you turned and walked away

And what it meant to me was feelings I just can't explain
Heaven-sent to me, Love
Would nothing stop the rain?
It takes a lot of nerve to act like you're the only one who feels any kind of pain
Love in vain

I might have nothing left but I don't ever want to beg of you

And what it meant to me was feelings I just can't explain
Heaven-sent to me, Love
Would nothing stop the rain?
It takes a lot of nerve to act like you're the only one who feels any kind of pain
Love in vain
