The following is written with something approaching a sense of humor masquerading as indignity.
A minor blues (of all things) from me. A blues? I had to write one to dispel a myth. Recently Iāve been told Iām a āCeltā and play āCelticā music. There is no such living entity. Itās close to racial abuse to call me such. The more my music is called āCelticā the more I rail against it and insist that no-one has any idea what (if any) music the Celts played! They certainly didnāt play twangy acoustic guitars tuned to DADGAD insofar as Iām aware. I am not a āCeltā and have no āCeltic Connectionsā.
(āHave a sense of proportion, Dave. Lighten up!ā āā ā ā ā off!ā)
(That notwithstanding, I do advertise some Celtic tunes on my website. But thatās just SEO trickery. Not to be taken seriously. Thereās even a disclaimer at the bottom of the page. And itās got certainly nothing to do with my songwriting.)
(āDonāt take it so seriously, old pal.ā āIāve told you to ā ā ā ā off once already, so ā ā ā ā offā)
So ā to underline the fact ā I make up a blues.
Itās got some irresponsible guitar excursions between the verses outside of which itās straight up and downā¦
The lyrics are indecisive:
Irresolution Blues
Like a bandit coming out of the sun
She said cāmon baby letās have some fun
I know a way I can make you smile ā I said
I donāt know, honey, itās been a while
She said, tell me ā what you wanna do?
She said, if youāre unsure what to do
Iāll do a Google search for you
Half a second later, cāmon, give me a break ā I got
Half a million more decisions to make
She said, tell me ā what you wanna do?
- irresponsible guitar excursion -
I am determined, yes I am my own man
I am resolved, yes I am
I can choose, I can select
Without getting caught up in the cause and effect
She said, tell me ā what you wanna do?
We went shopping but we didnāt buy squat
Weād only take it back whatever we got
Weād watch a movie but we couldnāt agree
Whoās gonna choose the DVD
She said, tell me ā what you wanna do?
- irresponsible guitar excursion -
Cāmon baby itās time to go
Cāmon baby: yes or no?
I said I would tell you all of one voice
But yet again youāre giving me multiple choice
She said, tell me ā what you wanna do?
- irresponsible guitar excursion -
Thanks!
