It will be 3 years on February 6th, 2014 since this wonderful talent has left us, however Gary lives on in his music and our hearts. ♥


"Empty Rooms" is a song with which everyone who has ever had a broken romance will identify. Although Gary could shred with the best of them, "Empty Rooms" is basically a slow bluesy type track, and is widely regarded as Moore's greatest guitar solo. It was co-written in 1984 with keyboard player/guitarist Neil Carter, who said the vocal track was originally laid down by Glenn Hughes - one-time bass player with Deep Purple - but this "obviously never made it out of the studio". Of the track itself, Carter said "I always joke that the song has bought my house, but I suppose it probably has over the years!"
"Empty Rooms" was released as a single in both seven inch and twelve inch formats, although the radio edit really doesn't do it justice. Gary Moore died suddenly in Spain on February 6, 2011 aged only fifty-eight, leaving more than a mere room empty, but also leaving us many fine live recordings of this rock classic.
In Happy Together, an interview with Gary Moore and Phil Lynott by Derek Oliver published in a May 1985 issue of Kerrang!, Moore said of this song, it is "very personal. It wasn't written because I felt sorry for myself, it was something I went through at one time - something that everyone goes through at one stage or another".




"EMPTY ROOMS"

Loneliness is your only friend.
A broken heart that just won't mend
is the price you pay.
It's hard to take when love grows old.
The days are long and the nights turn cold
when it fades away.
You hope that she will change her mind,
but the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.


You see her face in every crowd.
You hear her voice, but you're still proud,
so you turn away.
You tell yourself that you'll be strong.
But your heart tells you,
this time you're wrong.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.


You hope that she will change her mind,
but the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.

You hope that she will change her mind,
but the days drift on and on.

Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love.
