Solitude is a state of seclusion or isolation, i.e., lack of contact with people. It may stem from bad relationships, deliberate choice, infectious disease, mental disorders, neurological disorders or circumstances of employment or situation (see castaway).
Short-term solitude is often valued as a time when one may work, think or rest without being disturbed. It may be desired for the sake of privacy.
A distinction has been made between solitude and loneliness. In this sense solitude is positive.
Symptoms from complete isolation, called sensory deprivation, often include anxiety, sensory illusions, or even distortions of time and perception. However, this is the case when there is no stimulation of the sensory systems at all, and not only lack of contact with people. Thus, by having other things to keep one's mind busy, this is avoided.
Still, long-term solitude is often seen as undesirable, causing loneliness or reclusion resulting from inability to establish relationships. Furthermore, it might even lead to clinical depression. However, for some people, solitude is not depressing. Still others (e.g. monks) regard long-term solitude as a means of spiritual enlightenment. Indeed, marooned people have been left in solitude for years without any report of psychological symptoms afterwards.[citation needed]
Edwin McCain (born January 20, 1970 in Greenville, South Carolina) is an American singer-songwriter and musician.
Long time touring friends with Hootie and the Blowfish, the Edwin McCain band signed with same label, Atlantic Records. In 1994, he recorded his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves under the Lava Records imprint (Matchbox Twenty, Kid Rock and Jewel). The record was then released in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned "I'll Be", a major hit single in 1998. This song is also featured on the charitable album, Live in the X Lounge, along with a live version of "Solitude". It was also featured and included in the soundtrack of the 2004 teen flick, A Cinderella Story.
Summer of 1999 marked the arrival of McCain's third album, Messenger, which included a second Top 40 hit, the Diane Warren-penned "I Could Not Ask For More."

Plot: Suburbiaville is just a typical metropolis populated with very atypical characters. Evil genius Dr. Milo Medlo (Ph.D) and his loyal henchman Hank are forever at odds with local good girls Justice Kitten and Little Liberty, maintaining a balance of power so delicate that the rest of Suburbiaville hardly know they exist. But in the world of Good vs. Evil, an upset in the balance could result in world annihilation, or at least unemployment for the good girls and bad guys. So when Dr. Medlo falls in love with a receptionist named Holly and loses his desire for world conquest and various other evildoings, Hank and the lawful ladies must form an unholy alliance to sabotage the relationship or risk losing their livelihoods. Others become involved along the way: a doting mother, a washed-up R & B singer, and a little girl who just may hold the key to a secret that could blow the roof off of Suburbiaville. In this town, as in our lives, it's a certainty that sometimes love goes boom!
