RUBY LEE From the 1974 Bill Withers album ’Justments Songwriters: Dunlap M; Withers B (With Soul) Staring at the shadows on the wall Wish I knew of someone I could call Someone who might understand it all Ruby Lee sure wish you were here with me Someone lying with me in my bed Some stranger who don’t understand my head Wish it was you lying here instead Ruby Lee sure wish you were here with me (Bridge) Drowning in a sea of pretty faces Being quite the man about the town Packing up and going pretty places But I sure miss having you around Listen to the noises down the hall I think I’ll move out of here in the fall Ain’t exactly having me a ball Ruby Lee sure wish you were here with me (Bridge) Drowning in a sea of pretty faces Being quite the man about the town Packing up and going pretty places But I sure miss having you around Staring at the shadows on the wall Wish I knew of someone I could call Someone who might understand it all Ruby Lee sure wish you were here with me *From the GUTMAN up in CANADA

Cette chanson évoque un profond sentiment de solitude et de nostalgie. Le narrateur exprime un besoin désespéré de compagnie, souhaitant la présence de quelqu'un qui puisse vraiment comprendre son état d'esprit. Malgré une vie apparemment remplie de rencontres et de plaisirs, il ressent un vide qu'il ne peut combler que par la présence de Ruby Lee, quelqu'un qui compte énormément pour lui. Le contraste entre l’effervescence extérieure et la solitude intérieure renforce son désir d’intimité et d’authenticité. Dans un contexte où la superficialité des relations semble prédominer, cette quête de connexion réelle et sincère fait résonner des sentiments universels d'isolement, touchant quiconque a déjà ressenti le besoin d'une présence familière face à l'absence.
