	This tune was written in 1973 by Theresa Apple and was an instant folk/rock hit in the underground indie world. For 'The Road,' artist CT Apple revamped the melody into a more future funk/jazz vibe which evokes the same emotional turmoil as the original, but has a distinct contemporary sound.

	Story Behind the Song REVIEW on November 27, 2001 Reviewer: Roger Stevenson from Key West, FL Great for sex, working out ,or just chillin', I gotta say, this is really well done stuff. What makes this tune so unusual is that although it has a backdrop of hip-hop and a techno vibe, the tune is VERY easy listening -- bordering on Lounge. And although CT's voice is outstandingly crooning, it manages to keep away from being "old" in style... I mean look at this guy, he ain't a grandad! The Apple family must be really talented - I only hope they bred new Apples so that the talent can live on after CT and Theresa are long gone. Lyrics It's another lonely Monday Though it's the middle of the week It's another foggy morning Though it's night and I can't sleep The fog is rollin' in Poundin' on my mind When I look where love has gone There's nothin' I can find I wish that it had been a bad dream That I hadn't played the scene You were the one with all the cool And me I played the fool -- I wish that it had been a bad dream -- I hadn't played the scene -- You were the one with all the cool -- And me I played the fool It's a dreary day in Winter Though Summer's sun burns bright All around me's cold and dark Though the fire here keeps things light My puzzle falls in pieces All around my feet And the sight of loveless love scenes Leaves me cryin' in my seat I got lost in all the lines Kept repeating meaningless rhymes I said I'd make it whatever the cost But I played the game And I guess I lost And I guess I lost... (tma/cta 2000)
