I dont feel sadness in blues though. I have a different kind of soul perhaps. Blues mostly to me is like, we have a hard life but then, ah let us drop all the sadness and get on with our lives.

Main speaker/drummer is attractive.

[@Roxasguy13]

Is there a name for this song???

[@iyuuko2236]

Well I woke up this morning?

[@matthewcline8580]

The lyrics seem to be just improvised over the 12 bar blues. I think it's a good demonstration that almost anything can be sung to the blues

[@Ben.Clifford_]

I woke up this morning and went back to bed...

[@aniankh]

Sounds like The Blues to me.

[@Zapper_Youtube]

Lol

[@Horrorlover65681]

Relatable.

[@angelamaloney587]

The volume is extremely low, and it's hard to hear the main speaker.

[@talstory]

[@vovasensei]

Pretty gang.

[@donghyunpark2564]
