Melancholy Country Blues (sung by Sarah White)
Fun song about things being so bad that you start to see the funny side. Sung by Sarah White .
I'm easily inspired either by personal experiences, things said in conversation, being given a challenge, or being moved or amused by something. Many genres.
Story behind the song
Sung by Sarah White, it's a fun song about things being so bad that you start to see the funny side, and put things into perspective.
On my Review tab is a lovely review of the song by the renowned Steve Gilmore
Another kind review from "KIDS LIKE DANNY.5" (a charity album the song features on):
"Offering a jaunty rhythm is the playful sound of “Melancholy Country Blues” with Sarah White’s vocals serving front and center. A careful balance between folk and country is struck in earnest as the song comes out swinging. Her undeniably tender vocal delivery, with just a hint of giddiness, makes it a sparkling joy".
Lyrics
CHORUS
Melancholy baby…let’s sing the melancholy country blues,
Let’s diffuse all the bad times, I’m melancholy too.
Melancholy baby…let’s sing the melancholy country blues,
Put yourself in my shoes, I’m melancholy too.
Let’s be sad, it’s so bad, let’s just sit and cry,
Let it go, let it out, it’s what this melancholy evenings all about
Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher
With the saddest songs we’ve found,
Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher ,
So the sad stories go round and round,
Round and round and round
