| Comments: | In May 2012 Courtney Cox approached her friend, music producer Bob Clearmountain, to ask if Bryan and I would write a song for her debut as a film director: "TalhotBlond", the true story of a love triangle that ends in murder. Courtney's request arrived on a Monday (May 21, 2012). She needed a song -- written, recorded and mixed -- by Friday. Yikes! So I recorded the instruments on my Apple laptop at my summer cottage in northern Canada, where I happened to be that week. Bryan was thousands of miles away, in London. He recorded a vocal and sent it to me by email. Once everything was assembled I did a "large file transfer" to Bob Clearmountain in Los Angeles, for mixing and editing ... on schedule and on budget! It's actually the quick "home recording" that appears in the film. I can't find the audio-- maybe it's on an older computer? -- but when I do find it, I'll add it to this page. Several years later, in 2019, Bryan recorded a second (less rushed) version of "Nobody's Girl" for inclusion on his "Shine A Light" album (see Audio-2 above). |

| Lyrics: | He was battle-worn A little tossed-and-torn Ready to deceive She was carefree as a summer's morn What a tangled web they weaved Nobody's girl Living in her mixed up world Out of the blue Out of control Nobody's girl Caught up in her twisted world Playin' a game - playin' a role She's nobody's girl You can make it real, you can make it right If you're ready to believe You can't see through all the truth and lies You only see what you wanna see Nobody's girl Living in her mixed up world Out of the blue Out of control (ah) Nobody's girl Caught up in her twisted world Playing a game Playing a role She's nobody's girl She's nobody's girl She's nobody's girl She's nobody's girl She's nobody's girl |
