Singing The Blues Quotes

I have heartaches, I have blues. No matter what you got, the blues is there. 'Cause that's all I know - the blues. And I can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and I can give you the blues. John Lee Hooker
Ruth Brown quote: "We are trying to prove that the blues lives on forever and..."

You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy. Ringo Starr
Joe Cocker quote: "God, I'm just a fat bald guy, 60 years old, singing the blues,..."

The very first Walnut Whales recording was recorded just a few weeks after I had started singing, out of the blue, started singing. And the voice, you can hear how uncomfortable I am with it, and how terrified I am with it. Joanna Newsom
A crippled child. Said, "How shall I dance?"Let your heart dance. We said. Then the invalid said:"How shall I sing?"Let your heart sing. We said. Then spoke the poor dead thistle,"But I, how shall I dance?"Let your heart fly to the wind. We said. Then God spoke from above"How shall I descend from the blue?"Come dance for us here in the light. We said. All the valley is dancing. Together under the sun, And the heart of him who joins us not. Is turned to dust, to dust. Gabriela Mistral
