Blues
About
This raw Blues track captures the essence of electric Chicago Blues with Delta influences, featuring a shuffling 12/8 groove at 68 BPM driven by overdriven electric guitar bends and wailing harmonica calls. Gravelly male vocals deliver soul-baring lyrics of lost love and enduring hardship, layered over a sparse rhythm section that builds emotional intensity without polish. The production emphasizes analog warmth and imperfections, like a smoky juke joint session, fostering deep empathy through its unvarnished humanity.
Lyrics
Sun don't shine no more Woke up this morning Sun don't shine no more Left me cold to the core They call my name Weary midnight blues Drivin' me insane One ache in the dark But I'll rise again heartache in the dark But I'll rise again Walk down to the river, water running deep and wide Walk down to the river, water running deep and wide Memories of laughter now just tears I can't hide They call my name weary midnight blues Driving me insane heartache in the dark But I'll rise again rise again honey But I'll rise again Guitar bends high Like a cry in the night From this endless fight But the blues keep teaching Wrong from right Oh, they call my name Wearing midnight boots, driving me insane Heartache in the dark, but I'll rise again Heartache in the dark, but I'll rise again You're the blood Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Thanks for watching!
