Now my heart is achin', and whiskey's all it's takin',
just to drive these blues away
Now my heart is achin', and whiskey's all it's takin',
just to drive these blues away
And I stay drunk each and every worried day

(spoken to the piano player:)
Beat 'em a long time, baby

Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be.
Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea
Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be.

Louis Armstrong recorded this song in New York, January 14, 1925
with blues singer Bessie Smith on her classic recording.

I ain't ever loved it this-a way before
I ain't ever loved it this-a way before
And I hope the Lord that I won't love it any more

I've got so now that I can't control my mind
I've got so now that I can't control my mind
I go to bed blue and I get up cryin'

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining

But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?

Sting - Soul Cages (1990)

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence. ...


Paul Simon, 1965

I went to my brother to ask for a loan
'cause I was busted.
the food that we planted last summer was gone,
and I was busted.

My brother said "Ray, there ain't a thing I can do,
me and my wife are both down with the flu,
and I was just thinking 'bout calling on you,
because I'm busted."


Busted -Ray Charles

So dry that tear in the sun
Burn your skin, we've just begun
A summer dream, yes my dear
Chilling shadows disappear

Summertime

When I'm a walking, I strut my stuff, then I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out

Let me go on, like a blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands I know you're the one

I'm walking, yes indeed I'm talking
For you and me and I'm hoping
That you'll come back to me

I'm lonely as I can be
And I've waited for your company
And I'm hoping that you'll come back to me

I'm Walking
Music and lyrics by Antoine Domino and Dave Bartholomew (performed by Rick Nelson)
