About the Song
A tender duet that asks a timeless question, echoing through soft harmonies and shared hearts.
In “Have You Ever Been Lonely,” Daniel O’Donnell and Mary Duff breathe new life into a song that has traveled through generations of country and popular music. Originally recorded by legends like Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline, this duet finds a perfect home in the voices of Daniel and Mary—two artists who have built their careers on kindness, sincerity, and a deep love for classic melodies.
With every line, they ask not just a question of each other, but of us all: Have you ever missed someone so deeply, you felt the silence louder than words? It’s a quiet ache—the kind of longing that doesn’t shout, but whispers its way into your heart.
Their vocal chemistry is undeniable. Daniel’s warm, steady baritone offers calm reassurance, while Mary’s gentle soprano carries both strength and vulnerability. Together, they blend like old friends finishing each other’s sentences—soft, honest, and full of feeling.
The arrangement stays true to the song’s roots: a simple, graceful backdrop of piano, strings, and soft steel guitar. There are no frills—only a focus on emotion, phrasing, and the delicate space between the notes where true feeling lives.
