some 12-bar blues - "June 10" - 12/12/15 05:36 PM
Like the other couple of songs before this one, "June 10" also came about from exercises that Pat Pattison made available at his seminar in Melbourne earlier this year. It's only the second blues song I've ever written. I'm still very much a novice in this genre. I thought I'd use AABA format and a traditional blues lyric approach in the A-sections.

June 10, you say the day is looking yellow and blue
June 10, you say the day is looking yellow and blue
But your eyes refuse to see sunshine 'cause your heart is hurt and confused
Why go, why grab her bags and up and fly away
Why go, why grab her bags and up and fly away
Like a thief she stole tomorrow and left you stranded in yesterday
She was a sunrise
A new sunny day
You were glad, excited
A pup ready to play
When she wrapped her arms around you and filled the world with light
There were no more lonely days
Not a single awful night but then she left you
Without a word
She left you
June 10, you say the day is looking yellow and blue
June 10, you say the day is looking yellow and blue
But your eyes refuse to see sunshine 'cause your heart is hurt and confused
[instrumental]
She was a sunrise
A new sunny day
You were glad, excited
A pup ready to play
When she wrapped her arms around you and filled the world with light
There were no more lonely days
Not a single awful night but then she left you
Without a word
She left you
June 10, you say the day is looking yellow and blue
June 10, you say the day is looking yellow and blue
But your eyes refuse to see sunshine 'cause your heart is hurt and confused
Your eyes refuse to see sunshine 'cause your heart is angry, hurt, embarrassed and bruised
