The blues is losing someone you love and not having enough money to immerse yourself in drink.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The blues comes right back to a person's feelings, to his daily activities in life. But rich people don't know nothing about the blues, please believe me.
When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on.
Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.
The blues is not the creation of a crushed-spirited people. It is the product of a forward-looking, upward-striving people.
So yeah, I am definitely a blues man at heart.
There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money.
People all over the world have problems. And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die.
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.
The blues is life itself.
The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.
