Story Behind The Song
I really enjoyed this song by Noel, and he said I could record it, so in September 2003 I finally recorded it at James O'Connell's studio in LA. I interpreted it as either being about a loved one, or about trying to find a higher meaning in life or perhaps even slightly spiritual.
Song Description
Adult contemporary pop about looking for a lost love, or perhaps looking for "god" or guidance from a god-like being. Looking for meaning behind a relationship, or meaning for life in general.

Lyrics
Desperately Seeking You
(Noel Cohen)
V1) Driving in my car in the middle of the night
Trying to clear my head when nothing?s going right
Feeling the cool breeze, blowing on my face
I?m taken far away to that distant place
Where you wait for me
Chorus:
In the dark of night when there?s no more fight
I?m desperately seeking you?ohh
When I feel betrayed and I?ve lost my way
I?m desperately seeking you
Desperately seeking you?ahh
V2) Walking down the street, people rushing everywhere
Nobody stops to think, no one seems to care
It?s hard to stay strong in a world so cruel
When I begin to lose faith, when I don?t know what to do
That?s when I turn to you
Chorus:
In the dark of night when there?s no more fight
I?m desperately seeking you?oh
When I feel betrayed and I?ve lost my way
I?m desperately seeking you
I?m desperately seeking you
When you?ve lost your way
When you feel betrayed
I?m desperately, desperately seeking you
Are we all the same
Do you know my name
Ahhhh?. I?m seeking you?oh
V3) Lying on the ground in the pouring rain
I?m looking to the sky, as the world falls down on me
Trying t? understand what I cannot see
It makes it hard sometimes, to be-lieve
That you?re here with me?.
Chorus:
(I?m desperately seeking you)
When you?ve lost your way
When you feel betrayed
(When you?ve lost your way)
I?m desperately, desperately seeking you
Are we all the same
Do you know my name
(Are we all the same)
I?m desperately seeking you
In the dark of night when there?s no more fight
I?m desperately seeking you?ohh
When I feel betrayed and I?ve lost my way
I?m desperately seeking you
I?m desperately seeking you?ahh.
