About
This raw Delta blues track unfolds over a classic 12-bar progression, laced with soulful phrasing and piercing blue notes that capture the ache of betrayal and loss. Expressive guitar bends and a gritty harmonica solo weave through call-and-response vocals, evoking unpolished resilience amid howling winds and dusty roads. The intimate production prioritizes acoustic warmth and live feel, fading out on a hopeful rise from the ashes.
Lyrics
Ohhh... yeah... Mmm, baby... gone away... Ohhh... deep down...
Cold wind howlin' through my broken door, Cold wind howlin' through my broken door, She slipped out quiet, left me wantin' more.
Empty pockets, feet on dusty road, Empty pockets, feet on dusty road, Hunger in my belly, carryin' this load.
Nights so heavy, tears like pourin' rain, Nights so heavy, tears like pourin' rain, Betrayed by her whispers, chained in pain.
Ohhh... yeah... mmm-hmm... Take it slow... ohhh... Yeah... bend it low...
But fire still burnin' deep inside my chest, Fire still burnin' deep inside my chest, I'll rise from these ashes, pass this test. Won't bow to sorrow, won't fade away, Won't bow to sorrow, won't fade away, Blues gonna lift me, see another day.
Ohhh... yeah... risin' up... Mmm, yeah... won't break now... Ohhh... fade slow... yeah... risin'...
