about
Back towards the end of last century, I wrote a song called the "20th Century Blues" for my band Petting Zoo. It wasn't much of a song - just a funky riff and a chorus (or was it a verse?) that went "It's the 20th century blues, uh huh". I never recorded it or even really finished it. We would play it live because it had a funky groove and would get people moving -- it just wasn't much of a song.
Anyway, fast-forward a whole bunch of years and somehow the idea that sparked the song that was never much of a song is finally is getting its due. TBH, there really isn't all that much that is similar in the two songs except the title, the key it's in and that line 'It's the ___ Century Blues"
A different century, but still plenty to sing the blues about.
'Anyway, I love you... let's get this right!'
lyrics
It’s the 21st century blues.
I don’t know if I’ve anything left to lose
But still I roll
Still I roll
It’s the 21st century blues
Damned if I don’t
Damned if I do
But still I roll
Still I roll
Anyway, I love you
Anyway, I love you yeah
Anyway, I love you
Isn’t that enough?
Anyway, I love you
Anyway, I love you yeah
Anyway, I love you
Let’s get this right
It’s the 21st century blues
Right left wrong long ago
So what’s there to choose?
Still you roll
Still you roll
It’s the 21st century blues
Unless you consider Armageddon good news
Still you roll
Still you roll
Anyway, I love you
Anyway, I love you yeah
Anyway, I love you
Isn’t that enough?
Anyway, I love you
Anyway, I love you yeah
Anyway, I love you
Let’s get this right
It’s the 21st Century Blues
Too many talking heads
Too little truth
Still we roll
Still we roll
It’s the 21st Century Blues
Left, center, right
How about red, white and blue?
Still we roll
Still we roll
