Love and loneliness are both absolute. The difference lies in whether you are willing to tolerate being alone or two together-just like the song "My Heart is a Lonely Hunter" in the movie: "I'm afraid I need To love, if I have not planned to fly away. I call you in the dark, a hunter with a lonely heart... The heart is a lone hunter, with the only longing, looking for in the embrace of the lover's fire Lasting comfort. Driven by desperate hunger, plunged into the darkness under the shadow of neon lights... Oh, the heart is a lone hunter, when there is no image of love in front of you." The

film’s soundtrack album has an excellent selection of songs, including low voices. The singing folk veteran Grayson Capps, the dreamy Trespassers William, and even Travolta holding a guitar for a short period.

A Love Song for Bobby Long quotes

  • Lawson Pines: That girl looks so much like Lorraine. Remember the first time you took me to see her sing was my first time in New Orleans.

    [pause]

    Lawson Pines: I was so taken.

    Bobby Long: Well... you were kind of. You were kind of sheltered. Choked by that silver spoon.

    Lawson Pines: I thought she was so beautiful.

    Bobby Long: She was.

  • Bobby Long: [singing] Mother, go make my bed, / Make it long and narrow. / My true love died for me yesterday, / I shall die for him tomorrow. She was buried in a church house yard, / And he was buried there beside her. And from his grave grew roses red, / From hers grew green briar. They grew and they grew so very high, / Till they could grow no higher; And at the top grew a true lovers' knot, / Twined with green briar.
