Someone You NeedHoward Jones

Featuring: Duncan Sheik

Songwriter: Martha Schuyler Thompson Duncan Sheik Howard Jones

Producer: Robbie Bronnimann

The streets here are empty
All the people went home
Well, I was just wondering if you're alone
So how you've been lately?
I hear you're a little down
And do you think maybe I could come around?
I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante
Pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need
We had coffee on 3rd street
And talked for a time
I still have your letter I know every line
I hope this ain´t coming from way out of the blue
Cause I got to thinking and I thought of you
I could be someone you need
Keep you from burning in hot summer sun
Roll you in clover a coat for your shoulder
I could be someone you need
You need someone there
When the world isn't fair
Or its all just too good to be true
Someone to care for you
Issue a dare to you
When the moment comes you need to fly, fly
I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante
Pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need

Howard Jones

Howard Jones (born Southampton, England, 1955) has been described as “one of the defining figures of mid-‘80s synth pop.”

Jones learned to play piano as a child, and joined his first band as a teenager after he and his parents moved to Canada.

After relocating back to England, Jones continued to play in a number of bands. He also enrolled in the Royal Northern College of Music (from which he eventually dropped out). By the late 70’s, he had taken to performing solo, backed only by synthesizers and drum machines.
