The Blues News Reader by B Good (of the Soundminds)

Good morning,

This is a song i wrote (and one of my favorites to play), titled 'The blues news reader'.

Written a few weeks ago, it was one i think i'd very much like to get a good recording of.

I find when writing a song, after you have the first line, the entire song seems to write itself.

Here are the lyrics:

I get my news from 50’s blues
But the old men have forgotten when
They used to groove
They broke their backs building railway tracks
Or welding iron on their way to Zion
I listen to, their ritual tunes
I’m transported to and out of the room
As i drift away, i dream of the day
The evil in men is sleeping again

I’m a time travelling, waste of space
I’m victim of the fucking rat race
I see history repeating and i’m outraged
People still killing for a shot at first place
We all lose more than our lives
Everytime we connect they divide

I have one pair of shoes, i’m not a fashion conscious
Brain washed consumer of shit
When i listen to the songs, me and Elvis sing along
I may live in a dream but i know i’m not wrong
This world has been ruind, chasing your profits
I hear you puffing and puffing, i hope you enjoy the coffin

I’m a time travelling, waste of space
I’m victim of the fucking rat race
I see history repeating and i’m outraged
People still killing for a shot at first place
We all lose more than our lives
Everytime we connect they divide

I stopped looking for clues, a way to escape
I found nothing but music has the power over hate
What’s the point in talking when they’ve all been blinded
Sometimes i think their listening, but then i’m reminded

I’m a time travelling, waste of space
I’m victim of the fucking rat race
I see history repeating and i’m outraged
People still killing for a shot at first place
We all lose more than our lives
Everytime we connect they divide

I get my news from 50’s blues

Capo 4
A(Blues) – C(blues) – B(blues) – E(Blues)

Heres a youtube link for the song:

My apolagies for the twiddling on guitar for the intro, im not one for really putting too much into recording, but i will get better at this and learn the art of 'giving a shit', ha. As i di care and as i said, would very nuch like to get a good recording.

I have a few songs on my youtube channel, and a website where im beginning to write up the lyrics, i am in the process of updating and indeed creating a home studio, ill do a post on this as im turning my hallway cupboard into a vocal booth, so that might make an interesting read.

I'll post a song every few days.

Kind regards,

B Good.
