The Blues

Blues music, a genre that expresses emotive lyrics, reflecting love and joys or struggles, sorrow and hurt of everyday life, as well as frailty and vulnerability or resilience to bounce back and move on. In blues music the common instruments are guitars and vocals and blue or bent notes are featured creating a distinct melancholic and somber tone that some think, sing or listen to the blues when they are down in the blues.
