For Joe Bonamassa contest and written as a reverse version of I'll Play the Blues for You. Audio failed part way through - and I prefer to be a one take wonder rather than try too hard and still only be as good as the first take (there's so a poem in that too I'm sure)
---
Listen to poem:
"I've always been a big fan of taking old songs and completely turning them on their head." Joe Bonamassa If you're together and feeling fine Don't find me, just let me be All your happiness deserves to stay So I'll play the blues for me Don't be afraid, keep on your track You've got new friends now I see All your happiness deserves to stay So I'll play the blues for me I ain't got no name, forget all my claims I still play the blues for free All your happiness deserves to stay So I'll play the blues just for me
