Hi,friends !:)) I felt I had to try a blues even if I know I don´t have the voice of a real blues singer, but nonetheless, I still miss my dear old Beni so it felt easy to write this song out of my own experiences !:)) The Link: http://app.box.com/s/i3cq7utrlqx8r5wayqi4Style: M_BLZ 128 STY Slow 128 Blues w piano 60 MST Instruments in style: Bass: 533 Piano: 1886 Drums: RD Nashville 128 6 HiHat Ride Guitar: 526 Strings: 627 Pedal Steel There is an additional 1840 Synth Pad Recorded and mixed with mixcraft 6 on my laptop. Vocal recorded thru zoom H4n Lyrics: Widower´s Blues (by Dani) It´s been, some time now since you had to leave I´ve been busy runnin´with the flow not allowing time to grieve but, you know, when the evening comes and the lights are down low there´s no one wanna be in my shoes singing the widower´s blues, yes the widower´s blues yes I´ve been, through the mill many times I should be flour, but am still in one piece, at least close to one sittin´here gazing at the sun but, you know, when the evening comes and the lights are down low there´s no one wanna be in my shoes singin´ the widower´s blues, yes the widower´s blues I know they say that time heals everything so that´s why I´m biding my time here and sing singin´ along , singin’ the widowers blues I can make it thru the day hangin´around some harbor café lookin´at people just for a while one or two can even give me a smile but, you know, when the evening comes and the lights are down low there´s no one wanna be in my shoes singing the widower´s blues, yes the widower´s blues © Dani Lindroos 2014

Hey Dani, I can't say "I feel your pain" because my "other half" is still with me after 45 years. I can only imagine how you must miss her. But I sure envy your ability to write this beautiful lyrics. Good song all around.
Later my friend.
Mike B.

Dani, your emotions shine through in both penning your lyrics and with your vocals. The lyrics are very touching and I can listen to your voice all day. Good job.

Hi, Janice & Bud !
I feel humbled by your most kind
comment ! You are the masters of that
genré and I feel a little too light
with my all too mellow voice !:))
I did resing the tune and in doing so
I lifted it considerably as I think
the earlier version was just a bit too
murky
Cheers
Dani

Hi, Mario !
Thank you so much for
your most kind comments !:)
I had to resing the tune
as the earlier version was
just too low and the mix
did not reveal the words
well enough !:))
I really loved my wife.
She was in fact my first
love and I adored her
and still do so much !
Cheers
Dani

Dani.... That was certainly an interesting take on the blues. I'm not sure I'd place it into the category of the blues. At least not solidly. I heard certain aspects that were bluesy. Then there were other aspects to that song that I just don't know how I'd classify it. I think of the blues as being mostly a 1,4,5 with the occasional 6m progression. And there are variations on that theme to be sure.... there are, for example, blues in minor keys as well as the traditional major 1,4,5. Do you listen to the blues as defined by the blues players of the 50's and 60's.....? BB King, Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Louis Armstrong, etc, or even the slightly more modern blues influenced masters such as Clapton, the Stones, SRV, Zepplin, even the Beatles? Listen to some of the early Led Zepplin stuff..... wow... some really interesting and cool blues coming out of that band back then. When you call something blues, I'm expecting to hear the blues. All in all, the song was pretty well done with the lyric & recording. Good job on that aspect. As far as being blues, I'm thinking it could have been a bit closer to the target than it was.

Dani,
This song is the very essence of the Blues. The Blues is about pain, loss, regret, and expressing those emotions.
It is not just a song form.
I hope that your pain lessens with each passing day. Music is the best therapy.
Regards,
Bob

Hi Dani,
I like your new version of the song very much.
Like mentioned above it is not the standard blues pattern but it comes across very bluesy.
Very nice tribute.

My dear Herb !:))
Thank you so much for your most kind comments !
I completely agree with you, technically this
may not be a typical blues, but emotionally it is.
And, there are only 7th chords in the arrangement
after the intro !:)) I am not a blues singer, I know,
but somehow this tune wanted out !:))
Cheers
Dani
