about

"I have had the good fortune to meet many musicians in my life, some of whom had been well-known in their particular sphere and even had international careers. But it was nice to cross paths again with someone at the low end of the business, playing parties, bar mitzvahs, old-age homes, trying to make ends meet, pay the rent at the end of the month, but still play music. Perhaps it was all the singer could do, but it was all she wanted to do, and so she did it with heart and soul. That was what made her beautiful and happy. And she gave me the idea for this song, which I wrote soon afterwards."

lyrics

Singing The Blues © 2022 Malcolm Duff & Maristela Da Silva

How many times has she heard the same lines
When they say, as they pay, I love you?
How many nights, when they’ve turned out the lights
Did she wish that one kiss would be true?
But that was before she read the score
And now she’s paying her dues
Now she’s singing, she’s singing the blues

Men come and go, some fast, some slow
But all, they leave in the end
Only she knows that after the shows
She’ll be finding a friend
And now when she sings, it’s as if she has wings
Love changes your views
She plays all the bars but stays with the stars
When she’s singing, she’s singing the blues
When she’s singing, she’s singing the blues
