Mahalia Jackson, a gospel singer was deeply influenced by the blues as were singers from all genres, including rock bands like the Stones and Pink Floyd, said 'Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help." I think that goes for singers from most genres. Some people's voices come from a place that many people do not ever want to go. Perhaps they sing to purge themselves of the memories and thoughts but instead of being healed, sometimes hell's magnet only drags them down deeper. Drugs and other self-destructive behavioral choices temporarily dull the pain but many succumb and join the 27 club. Just as we listen to music to take us to another place temporarily, singers sing for the same reason. It's okay to lose yourself in good blues music but just don't stay there too long. today we're goin' with Blues music and the colors black and blue. If you ain't in the mood for blues, that's OK! VVV is always open thread- Post your favorite songs and stuff from any genre. We'd love to see and hear them. Feel free to sing along and dance, you know you want to!
