You can run, you can hide, but sooner or later, the blues are gonna get you! Gut wrenching, hang on to your hat, sad story blues. Your mom dies, your cat runs away, you're sick, you're broke; what can I say? When it hits, it slams you like a sledge hammer. Unfortunately, my continuing battle with depression hits pretty hard. When it does, epsom salts baths, essential oils, several CBD & THC products and listening to the blues help to soothe my rattled soul.
Sue me, but I love cats and a good kitty cuddle can help alleviate the blues. When my little panther Bageera suddenly died, I was struck like a lightning bolt. It seemed nothing could fill the giant hole that he left. But then, when Ladybug and Romeo came into our lives, all was well again. Suck it up, cuz here comes more cat pics.
One day last fall, I wrote 'Blues R Gonna Get U' starting out with a simple bass line. And, like any other girl who plays guitar, the rest flowed outta me. I told a familiar story that was mine and so many others. It's one of my favourite tracks on the Anything Goes album; because of Steve Horvat's grungy and pretty guitar licks throughout the song and also because of the low, powerful voice I was able to utilize. I especially like the way the bottom end and harmonies come to light in the bridge at the end. My off kilter drum tracks and bass guitar make this comparable to the early Red Hot Chili Peppers, some would say. Thank you to all my fans and listeners.

Until next time, let's love, laugh and dance our blues away.
Blues R Gonna Get U lyrics
You can run, you can hide
But the blues are gonna get you
You can dodge, you can fight
But they won’t go away
They’re waiting around the corner and underneath your bed
Screwing up your love life and messing with your head
In a matter of time
The blues are gonna get you
You lost your mother, she’s dead and gone
You left your lover, now you’re on your own
You miss your cat’s meow, she ran away
Now old man trouble he’s here to stay
You can run, you can hide
But the blues are gonna get you
You can dodge, you can fight
But they won’t go away
They’re waiting ‘round the corner and underneath your bed
Screwing up your love life and messing with your head
In a matter of time
The blues are gonna get you
Your health is fading, you’re overweight
Your friends don’t call you, you’re second rate
The rent gets higher, wages go down
So many reasons to hate this town
You can run, you can hide
But the blues are gonna get you
You can dodge and you can fight
But they won’t go away
They’re waiting ‘round the corner and underneath your bed
Screwing up your love life and messing with your head
In a matter of time
The blues are gonna get you
You’ve been waiting so long for the tears to stop falling
Now your sunshine’s all gone and every day is rain
You can run, you can hide
But the blues are gonna get you
Blues are gonna get you
Blues are gonna get you
Blues are gonna get you
