Blues

I’ve got the blues feeling the mile away hues

Dreading it deeply quietly sinking

I’ve got the blues filling my shoes

I sit and I stare here in my chair

Please

Wont you send me back my love

Today was a good day

A feeling I had forgotten

“I can feel him clawing at me to stay. It’s a hard pressed attempt to convince me that I won’t be safe without him. His argument is convincing and provocative. However persuasive, it’s still not enough to keep saying yes to the madness of pretending this is sanity.”

Mrs. Irresponsible

wouldn't it be nice 

wouldn’t it be swell

if i could just not care 

and send you to hell

wouldn’t it be swell 

wouldn’t it be free 

wouldn’t it be lovely 

to not give a shit about me

the grief might kill you, unless you kill the grief

Time

no words left to speak

i think you’ve taken enough of me 

i fell down slowly and you watched me fall

you smiled and then laughed with no remorse at all

i am feeling unsteady still no words left to speak

you’ve worn me down and now i feel weak

in the night in disguise you came and stole 

whatever was left of a dying soul.

Music 2 THRFT To:

Artist: Billie Holiday 

Track: Solitude (1941)

This song was originally composed by Duke Ellington and written by Eddie Delange & Irving Mills in 1934. It quickly became a classic jazz staple then was later covered by Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone respectively, but in our opinion ‘Lady Day’ recorded the most iconic version.

I love this song and I adore Billie holiday. I live, eat and sleep this woman. I’ve heard every version of this song but Etta James in 1947 is still my favorite version, till this day I still can’t find it anywhere other than YouTube. Sheesh
