About
This authentic Blues track unfolds in a classic 12-bar form with a shuffling rhythm, featuring gritty electric guitar bends and wailing harmonica fills that capture the genre's emotional depth. Gravelly male vocals deliver call-and-response phrasing over a sparse yet driving groove, building from subdued introspection to a cathartic solo peak. The production emphasizes raw, vintage warmth through analog-modeled tones and subtle tape saturation, creating an immersive juke joint vibe.
Lyrics
Satsang with Mooji Woke up this morning My baby Don left me behind I woke up this morning my baby done left me behind Now the rain's falling heavy, clouding up my mind Blues in my heart won't let me be Blues in my heart, sittin' my soul free Gonna walk these lonesome roads, just me Sittin' by the window, watchin' shadows on the wall Sitting by the window Watching shadows on the wall Memories keep coming Like a slow and painful call The blues in my heart Won't let me be Losing my heart, setting my soul free Gonna walk these lonesome roads just me I'll see you next time. I'll see you next time. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Won't let me be, won't let me be Bruising my heart, setting my soul free Gonna walk these lonesome roads just me I'll see you next time.
