BLUE JEANS - Reid Jamieson (Jamieson, Irion, Mill)

This new tune is a rare co-write for us, written with our American friend Johnny Irion (US Elevator, Sarah Lee Guthrie). It took us quite a while to finish and pull the trigger on a release...today seemed like the right moment to talk about mental health.

Blue Jeans is a prescription for postpandemic depression—though really it started back in 2016 when democracy took a turn for the unthinkable worst. Our hearts breaking as war threatens like never before. Add to that our own wee personal trials and tribulations this last decade.... It needs to be said - many of us have been down so long, must have cried the blues right out of our collective jeans... While we screw up the courage to ask for help, and the strength to fight for support, we've been taking what threatens to finish us off and find ourselves somehow grateful for the inspiration.
Lush vocals over a driving groove, with a soothing yet upbeat build. Music is medicine for the mind...safe, affordable, no side effects.

Do go give Johnny a listen...he is delicious, and a fine antidepressant if ever there was one :-)

BLUE JEANS Written by Johnny Irion, Reid Jamieson, Carolyn Victoria Mill. Performed and recorded by Reid Jamieosn. Produced by Reid & CVM. Independent / One Stop.

LYRICS

So long…
to just keep holding on
Even something strong
starts to fall apart
at the seams

All wrong…
and I’ve been down so long
Must have
cried the blues
right out of
my jeans

The pain I’m in – my oldest friend
Like a second skin – so worn in
Since I don’t know when – the shape I’m in

Yeah the truth is…
It might kill me to see it end

So long…
to sing the
same old sad song
Even something strong
starts to sound a little
off key

All gone…
yeah, I’ve been down
so low, so long
Must have
cried the blues
right out of
my jeans

The pain I’m in – my oldest friend
Like a second skin – so worn in
Since I don’t know when – the shape I’m in

Yeah, the truth is…
It might kill me to see it end

Beyond a little jaded
All gone like my faded blue jeans
Beyond a little jaded
All gone like my faded blue jeans

The pain I’m in – my oldest friend
Like a second skin – so worn in
Since I don’t know when – the shape I’m in

Yeah the truth is…
It might kill me to see it end

All gone…
Yeah, I’ve been down
so low so long
Must have
cried the blues
right out of
my jeans

Must have
cried the blues
right out of
my jeans…
