About
This raw Delta blues track unfolds over a classic 12-bar progression with soulful male vocals delivering emotive AAB verses laced with blue notes and call-and-response phrasing, accompanied by gritty guitar bends and sparse harmonica wails. The production captures an unpolished live feel with acoustic warmth, syncopated rhythms, and a heartfelt guitar solo that builds resilient tension before fading into hopeful repetition. Evoking the muddy storms of the Deep South, it prioritizes organic instrumentation and vocal grit for authentic emotional depth.
Lyrics
Woke up this mornin', baby walked out the door Woke up this mornin', baby walked out the door Heart full of ache, can't take it no more
Rain keeps on fallin', down on this empty bed Rain keeps on fallin', down on this empty bed Memories whisperin' words that she never said
Feet keep on walkin', through the mud and the storm Feet keep on walkin', through the mud and the storm Blues in my soul, but I'll rise in the morn
Nights get so lonely, shadows dance on the wall Nights get so lonely, shadows dance on the wall But deep down I'm fightin', I won't lose it all
Yeah, blues in my soul... rise in the morn... Blues in my soul... gonna rise... gonna rise...
Blues in My Soul
