The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The blues tells a story in itself. It can make you happy or give you a feeling to swing.
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.
The blues is life itself.
The blues is deceptively simple. Verse and chorus. Sometimes not even a chorus. Four bars that repeat, no Auto-Tune, electricity optional. It is the most direct, bare-bones of content. There is no interference between the head and heart.
The blues are like the fugue in 18th century. It's probably the music that belongs most to our time.
Blues means what milk does to a baby. Blues is what the spirit is to the minister. We sing the blues because our hearts have been hurt, our souls have been disturbed.
The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential.
The blues echoes right through into soul, R&B and hip hop. It's part of the make-up of modern music. You can't turn your back on the blues.
The blues is instilled in every musical cell that floats around your body.
The blues is nothing but a story... The verses which are sung in the blues is a true story, what people are doing... what they all went through. It's not just a song, see?
