I wanted this song to be daunting and airy. The slide guitar melody came to me when I had a lonely moment in my hotel room while on tour. I tuned my slide guitar to an open D - minor tuning, which is perfect for this tormenting feeling on the song. The sad slide melody accompanies the obsessive love and lust. The melancholic slide melody somehow takes me to the slide guitar classic “Dark Was the Night, Cold was the Ground”, which I have always liked very much. EMPTY HOURS lyrics & music by Erja Lyytinen Empty hours Empty minutes Broken hearts Have their limits Silent hours Tightening around your neck Broken moments Dripping sweat I really don´t want you But I don’t want anybody else to have you I really don´t want you But I don’t want anybody else to have you Empty hours In my bedroom Broken promises Unfilled dreams Laying in my bed I hear the ticking of the clock I can´t resist touching your skin Laying in my bed I hear the ticking of the clock I can´t resist touching your skin I really don´t want you But I don’t want anybody else to have you I really don´t want you But I don’t want anybody else to have you I really don´t want you But I don’t want anybody else to have you I really don´t want you But I don’t want anybody else to have you Laying in my bed I hear the ticking of the clock I can still smell your scent on my skin
