About
A raw, emotive Delta blues track built on a classic 12-bar progression, featuring soulful male vocals with call-and-response phrasing and expressive blue notes that convey the grind of poverty. Gritty guitar bends pierce through sparse harmonica wails, acoustic bass, and light drums, delivering an unpolished live feel with improvisational fire in the searing solo. The intimate production prioritizes vocal grit and organic warmth, evoking resilient yearning amid hardship.
Lyrics
We'll be right back. We'll be right back. Chasing shadows, no relief feet on the ground. We're sinking low. What tomorrow brings, nobody knows. Oh, poverty, you hold me down in the dirt. I wear your crown, call me broken. You call me lost, but my spirit pays the cost. Yeah, poverty, you pull me under thunder in my soul. Take it slow. Oh, Lord. Oh, bend that pain. 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 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 one day.
