Boz Scaggs - We're All Alone LYRICS Outside the rain begins and it may never end So cry no more, on the shore dream Will take us out to the sea Forever more, forever more Close your eyes Amie and you can be with me 'Neath the waves through the caves of ours Long forgotten now We're all alone, we're all alone (chorus) Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out. let it all begin Learn how to pretend Once a story's told it can't help but grow old Roses do, lovers too, so cast your seasons to the wind And hold me dear, oh hold me dear (chorus) All's forgotten now We're all alone, we're all alone (chorus) Throw it to the wind, my love Hold me dear All's forgotten now, my love We're all alone Boz Scaggs - Biography The son of a traveling salesman, William Royce Scaggs was born at home in Canton, Ohio on June 8, 1944. When his father returned home from serving in World War II, the family moved to Oklahoma before settling in Stockholm, Texas. At the age of 12, Scaggs already had an interest in the music crackling from the car's AM radio. Listening in rapture to T-BoneWalker, Ray Charles, Jimmy Reed and other legends of the era, he knew that this is what he wanted to do. While attending St. Marks, a private school in Dallas, he met up with Steve Miller and the two formed a band, The Marksmen. Scaggs was given the name Bosley by his friend Donald Ivert at the age of 14. Later, he would be called simply Boz. After graduating, Boz joined Miller at the University of Wisconsin in Madison where they put together the band they called the Ardells. They were also members of the Fabulous Night Trains, made up of the top local musical talent. Eventually dropped out of the university. After serving a short stint in the US Army in San Antonio, he formed a R&B band called the Wigs in Austin, TX. In 1964, the Wigs moved to England. They found a scene overrun with ambitious and talented musicians. Out of money, two of the members returned to Texas. Boz decided to travel, living the vagabond life in western Europe. Early in 1965, Boz ended up in Stockholm, Sweden where he remained for the next couple of years. After a few fruitless jobs, Boz sustained himself as a curbside troubadour, singing the songs he learned from the radio back in Texas for tips. Boz recorded his first album in Stockholm, 1965's Boz. In 1966, Boz headed for India, still wanting to further explore the "bum scene". He ended up back in Stockholm where he found work with various bands playing mostly jazz and blues. In August, Boz received a postcard from San Francisco. His friend Steve Miller had formed a successful band and invited Boz to join them as a second guitar and vocalist. Boz arrived in San Francisco in the midst of the Summer of Love. The Steve Miller Blues Band soon recorded a breakthrough debut album, Children Of the Future, followed with another epic of the age, Sailor. Boz penned and sang lead on songs like "Baby's Calling Me Home", "Steppin' Stone", "Overdrive" and 'Dime A Dance Romance". Boz's stint with the band only lasted about a year, ending when he set out on a solo career. Signing with Atlantic Records, Boz recorded his US debut, Boz Scaggs. Backed by the infamous Muscle Shoals musicians, and joined by Duane Alman, the album is best known for the blues drenched, extended play "Loan Me a Dime". After only limited sales, Boz signed with Columbia. In 1970 released Moments, followed by 1971's Boz Scaggs and Band and My Time in 1972. In each case most of the songs were written by Scaggs, songs that today shine in their test of time. His poetic lyrics and smooth production were popular with his many fans, but the albums never sold well. 1974's Slow Dancer proved to be a turning point in Boz's reputation and style. His arrangements and personal style had left behind the country and had moved up to the big city. But it wasn't until 1976's Silk Degrees that Boz realized the fame and recognition he had coveted for so many years. Songs like "Lowdown" and "Lido Shuffle", the former earning him a Grammy Award, propelled sales to more than 4 million albums. The next year, Boz followed with the platinum selling Down Two Then Left. The backing band for these last two albums would go on to achieve their own fame as Toto.
