REVELATIONS LIVE ORIGINAL BLUES MUSIC 2023

An original blues.  Anything can be a source of blues.  Imagine a guy named Joe who buys the car of his dreams.  He want to show it off, so he drives to New York City to stay with his friend.  But he has to park on the street.  He worries about how close the other parked cars are to his car.  At night he worries and looks out the window to watch his car.  In the morning Joe checks for scratches.  That car is now just fuel for his blues.

Wholesale All-Purpose Blues

A remixed humorous slow slide blues with some influences from listening to Little Feat and Zappa over the years.

PUTIN'S BLUES

Written, and composed by D. Warren
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', trouble by my side,
Lost my job and my woman, can't find a place to hide,
Got holes in my pockets, and my shoes are worn thin,
Every step I take, feels like I'm walkin' in sin.

(Chorus)
Oh, I'm a man down on my luck, can't see no light,
The weight of the world's been keepin' me up all night,
Every corner I turn, there's a shadow of despair,
I'm a man down on my luck, with a soul laid bare.

(Verse 2)
The bottle's my companion, drownin' out the pain,
But every drop I sip, feels like more of the same,
Friends used to gather, now they're nowhere to be found,
Loneliness my only friend, when the sun goes down.

(Chorus)
Oh, I'm a man down on my luck, can't see no light,
The weight of the world's been keepin' me up all night,
Every corner I turn, there's a shadow of despair,
I'm a man down on my luck, with a soul laid bare.

(Bridge)
Midnight blues a-callin', whisperin' in my ear,
Echoes of my heartbreak, the silence I fear,
I look in the mirror, see a face I don't know,
A man down on his luck, with nowhere left to go.

(Verse 3)
Dreams turned to dust, like ashes in the wind,
Hope's a distant memory, I can't seem to mend,
But I'll keep on walkin', through the storm and the rain,
A man down on his luck, searchin' for a way to ease the pain.

(Chorus)
Oh, I'm a man down on my luck, can't see no light,
The weight of the world's been keepin' me up all night,
Every corner I turn, there's a shadow of despair,
I'm a man down on my luck, with a soul laid bare.

(Outro)
Maybe one day I'll find, a reason to stand tall,
But for now, I'm just a man, tryin' not to fall,
With every breath I take, I'll keep pushin' through,
A man down on his luck, with them deep, deep blues.

LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
Well, the snow is fallin’, it’s a chilly night,
The kids are all dreamin’ ‘bout that sleigh in flight.
But I’m sittin’ here lonely, got no cheer in sight,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

(Chorus)
Santa’s comin’ to town, oh, you better watch out,
With his sack full of toys and a joyful shout.
But I can feel his sorrow, hear his heart’s soft plight,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

(Verse 2)
The reindeer are restless, can’t find their way,
He’s checkin’ his list, but it’s a hard, hard day.
The mistletoe’s hangin’, but I’m feelin’ tight,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

(Chorus)
Santa’s comin’ to town, oh, you better watch out,
With his sack full of toys and a joyful shout.
But I can feel his sorrow, hear his heart’s soft plight,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

(Bridge)
He’s been workin’ all year, puttin’ smiles on their faces,
But deep in his heart, he’s lost in the races.
The magic’s still there, but the joy’s outta sight,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

(Verse 3)
Now the clock is tickin’, just a little more time,
He’ll spread all that cheer, make the world feel fine.
But I know in the silence, he’ll be thinkin’ of flight,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

(Chorus)
Santa’s comin’ to town, oh, you better watch out,
With his sack full of toys and a joyful shout.
But I can feel his sorrow, hear his heart’s soft plight,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

(Outro)
So I’ll raise a glass, toast to the man in red,
For the love that he brings and the tears that he shed.
When the night is all over and the stars shine bright,
Oh, Santa’s got the blues tonight.

Santa's Got The Blues Tonight

Dave Warren ASCAP/BMI
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
They told us it was stolen,
But the votes were counted true.
Said democracy was broken,
But it's still stronger than you knew.
They spread fear and confusion,
Called the truth a disguise,
But all I see from the right side
Are the same ol' twisted lies.

(Chorus)
Lies from the right, yeah, they never end,
Tryin’ to divide us, don’t pretend.
They shout out loud, but they hide in the night,
Gaining power with lies from the right.

(Verse 2)
They said the climate ain’t changing,
Though the oceans rise each day.
Said the science was just fakin’,
While the forests burn away.
They promised jobs and riches,
But the poor stay poor,
All while lining their pockets
And leaving us at war.

(Chorus)
Lies from the right, yeah, they never end,
Tryin’ to divide us, don’t pretend.
They shout out loud, but they hide in the night,
Gaining power with lies from the right.

(Bridge)
They told you walls would save us,
But walls just shut us in.
Said they’d drain the swamp,
But they let the real crooks win.
Said COVID was just a hoax,
While we lost so many lives.
Now they sit on golden thrones,
Built on nothing but their lies.

(Chorus)
Lies from the right, yeah, they never end,
Tryin’ to divide us, don’t pretend.
They shout out loud, but they hide in the night,
Gaining power with lies from the right.

(Outro)
Yeah, they scream about freedom,
While they take it from your hand.
They twist the truth for power,
While the country makes a stand.
But we see through the darkness,
We won’t fall for their fight.
No more falling for lies,
Lies from the right.

Lies From The Right

Dave Warren ASCAP/BMI
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I'm walkin' down these cold streets, ain't no shelter in sight
Just the echoes of the city, in the dead of night
My shoes are worn thin, my soul's even worse
Feels like this whole wide world’s just one big curse

(Chorus)
I got the cold streets blues, and the hunger in my bones
Ain't no place to call my own, no warmth in these stones
People pass me by, but they don't see my face
Just another lost soul, in a world full of grace

(Verse 2)
I once had a house, I once had a name
But this life it took me down, now it’s just shame
The system don't care, no, it ain't designed
To lift up a brother who's been left behind

(Chorus)
I got the cold streets blues, and the hunger in my bones
Ain't no place to call my own, no warmth in these stones
People pass me by, but they don't see my face
Just another lost soul, in a world full of grace

(Bridge)
And I see the city lights, they shine so bright
But they're cold as the night, as they steal my fight
Where’s the love, where’s the care, where’s the hope we need?
I’m just lookin' for a place, where my heart can breathe

(Chorus)
I got the cold streets blues, and the hunger in my bones
Ain't no place to call my own, no warmth in these stones
People pass me by, but they don't see my face
Just another lost soul, in a world full of grace

(Outro)
So I’ll keep walkin’, yeah, with my head held low
Dreamin' of a day when I’ll have somewhere to go
But for now, it’s just me and this empty road
Singin' the blues, with no one to hold

I Got Engine Trouble - Jack de Keyser

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I woke up this mornin', heard the news today,
Felt like my freedom was slippin’ away.
They said we chose a leader, but somethin' don't feel right,
Feels like the sun's gone dark, ain't no end in sight.

(Chorus)
Oh, I thought we were free, thought we'd know better by now,
But when fear takes hold, folks forget the how.
We were lookin' for answers, a voice that was strong,
Now the road to freedom's feelin' too long.

(Verse 2)
Promises so sweet, we hung on every line,
"Build it back up, everything will be fine."
But promises don’t matter when rights slip away,
We watchin' our dreams just blowin' away.

(Chorus)
Oh, I thought we were free, thought we'd know better by now,
But when fear takes hold, folks forget the how.
We were lookin' for answers, a voice that was strong,
Now the road to freedom's feelin' too long.

(Bridge)
Power’s a poison when it’s in the wrong hands,
Whispered words of control spreadin’ over the land.
We cast our votes, trustin' the choice,
Now we’re prayin’ hard, just to keep our voice.

(Verse 3)
They say the end times come when we don’t see the signs,
Trading truth for power, crossing all them lines.
I’m singing this blues for the land of the free,
Wonderin' if one day, that land will still be.

(Outro)
Now I walk down the street, head hangin' low,
Wonderin' how it got this way, and where it’ll go.
They say freedom’s a gift, but it’s easy to lose,
Guess that’s why I’m singin’ these American blues.

These American Blues

Dave Warren ASCAP/BMI
Lyrics:
(Verse 1) Woke up this mornin', baby, to the same old pain Yesterday's troubles still lingerin', like the rain The sun's shinin' bright, but my heart's still in the night Tryin' to shake the shadows, but they just won't take flight
(Chorus) Oh, it's a new day, but the same old blues remain I'm facin' the dawn, with the weight of yesterday's chains But I won't let 'em hold me down, no, I won't give in Gonna rise up, baby, and let the light shine in
(Verse 2) I've been down this road before, with the devil on my back But I won't let him ride me, no, I won't look back I'll take a deep breath, baby, and let the music play Gonna find my strength, in the rhythm of a brand new day
(Chorus) Oh, it's a new day, but the same old blues remain I'm facin' the dawn, with the weight of yesterday's chains But I won't let 'em hold me down, no, I won't give in Gonna rise up, baby, and let the light shine in
(Bridge) I'll take it one step at a time, baby, I'll make it through I'll find my way, through the darkness, to the light that's shinin' true I'll learn to let go, of the ghosts that haunt me still And I'll find my peace, in the love that's real
(Verse 3) The sun's shinin' brighter, baby, and my heart's feelin' light I'm walkin' out of the shadows, into the morning light I'm leavin' yesterday behind, and I'm steppin' into the day With a newfound hope, and a heart that's ready to sway
(Chorus) Oh, it's a new day, but the same old blues remain I'm facin' the dawn, with the weight of yesterday's chains But I won't let 'em hold me down, no, I won't give in Gonna rise up, baby, and let the light shine in
(Outro) So I'll take this new day, baby, and I'll make it mine I'll rise up, and I'll shine, and I'll leave the blues behind It's a new day, baby, and I'm feelin' alive Gonna take on the world, with a heart that's ready to thrive.

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin’
Rain beatin’ on my pane
Sky’s cryin’ heavy
Just like my heart again
Wind keeps howlin’
Like a lonesome train
And I can’t shake this feelin’
Drownin’ deep in pain

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a stormy Monday
Dark clouds rollin’ in
Lightning in my soul
Thunder in the wind
Can’t find no shelter
Lost in shades of blue
Oh, this stormy Monday’s 
Got me thinkin’ ‘bout you

[Verse 2]
Coffee’s gone cold
Just like your last goodbye
Streetlights flicker
As the past comes rollin’ by
Tried to move on
But the storm don’t seem to end
Every drop of rain 
Reminds me where we’ve been

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a stormy Monday
Dark clouds rollin’ in
Lightning in my soul
Thunder in the wind
Can’t find no shelter
Lost in shades of blue
Oh, this stormy Monday’s 
Got me thinkin’ ‘bout you

[Bridge]
Tried to outrun the weather
But the rain won’t let me go
Every step I take
Your memory starts to show
And I wonder if you're out there
Feelin’ the same storm
Or if you’ve found a place 
Where the sun keeps you warm

[Chorus (repeat, with ad-libs)]
Oh, it’s a stormy Monday
Dark clouds rollin’ in
Lightning in my soul
Thunder in the wind
Can’t find no shelter
Lost in shades of blue
Oh, this stormy Monday’s 
Got me thinkin’ ‘bout you

[Outro]
Guess I'll ride this weather
'Til the blues fade away
But I know when next Monday comes
They'll be here to stay...
(or this line to end)
There'll be hell to pay
