Federico Gerhardt's song "CBG and Harmonica" is a poignant blues ballad that showcases the raw and emotive power of simplicity in music. Performed with just a Cigar Box Guitar (CBG) and a harmonica, both played by Gerhardt himself, the track stands out for its intimate and unadorned presentation.

Gerhardt's mastery of the CBG is evident from the first strum, as he navigates through soulful melodies and gritty riffs, each note resonating with the blues' characteristic longing and introspection. The addition of the harmonica brings a layer of depth and emotion, its wails and bends echoing the trials and tribulations that the blues genre so often embodies.

What makes "CBG and Harmonica" particularly captivating is Gerhardt's ability to convey a wealth of stories and emotions without uttering a single word. The interplay between the CBG's earthy tones and the harmonica's piercing cries creates a dialogue that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.

This track is a testament to the power of minimalism in music, proving that sometimes, less is indeed more. Gerhardt's "CBG and Harmonica" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the essence of the blues and the artistry involved in bringing such simplicity to life with profound emotional impact.

Stay with me

I know it stings, the pain you feel.
Its a shadow, faint, of what is real.
I've softened it, so healing finds its way.
Endure the scars that may never fade.

I am The Lady of Pain, through the dark, I'll lead.
Absorbing your sorrow in your time of need.
As I bare this pain, your strength will rise.
Its my role as you endure these times.

I know it stings, the pain you feel.
Its a shadow, faint, of what is real.
I've softened it, so your mind stays intact.
It will still hurt, but I've lessened the impact.

I am here, I'll ease your pain.
I am here, I'll ease your pain.
I am here, I'll ease your pain.
I am here, I will ease your pain.

Lyrics:

Waking up each morning
It's a fight
Burning bridges in the dead of night
Every step I take
Feels like a fall
But I won't back down
I'll give my all

Every road I choose is paved with pain
Through the storm and the pouring rain
Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning deep
But I'll keep swimming
I won't accept defeat

Life ain't easy
No
It ain't fair
But I won't let it drag me down
I swear
Gonna rise above
Gonna find my way
I'll keep pushing through
Day by day

(Instrumental)

Life ain't easy
It's a rocky road
Walkin' on the path
With a heavy load
The weight on my shoulders
It's hard to bear
But I gotta keep pushin'
I won't despair

(Instrumental)

Every day brings a new battle to fight
Sometimes it feels like I'm out of sight
But I won't give up
I won't back down
I'll keep on movin' in this crazy town

(Instrumental)

Life ain't easy
No
It ain't fair
But I won't let it drag me down
I swear
Gonna rise above
Gonna find my way
I'll keep pushing through
Day by day
I'll keep pushing through
Day by day
