The Blues. They're gonna get you!


Lea with her new toy

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.

Bageera in a box

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.

Romeo then

Ladybug back then

Mommy and sonny boy now

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.

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
