Jadyn Rylee and Sina ORIGINAL - Elderberry Blues

This song is taken from the latest book of verse written by Peter Dietrich called "IN BETWEEN BEFORE & AFTER". This song was written with Jadyn in mind, after Peter heard and seen her in the Sound of Silence music video. There is an extra verse in the published version however.

Contact Peter Dietrich: [email protected]
"This song is basically about a young girl finding her way in the world through what she sees and encounters, and adapting her inner visions to the surrounding world. But as I always say, a song - or poem - should speak for itself, and is open to the reader's interpretation."

----------------------------- Lyrics -----------------------------------------
Is it a form of mad hunger
When the eyes will not be satisfied?
Or maybe it’s just un-contained anger,
A failure before anything was tried?
Running the gauntlet of lost Paradise,
The child turns away from the crowd,
She knows her lost visions will soon pay the price,
Even though certain rumours are allowed,
But hungers are deadly and always strong-willed,
Digging-in deep roots where the first dreams are killed.

I’ve got the elderberry blues,
’Cos you’re not walking in my shoes,
Life loves best the ones who simply live it,
Love returns the joy to those who simply give it,
But I just sit and sing aloud my elderberry blues,
Glad to know I’m not walking in your old muddy shoes.

Is it a new way of looking
When the eyes accept darkness and light?
Or maybe it’s a glimpse of what’s cooking
In the space stuck between day and night?
Turning away from the unwritten page
The child hungers for unspoken words,
She believes there is magic in every new age,
Held aloft with the wings of the birds,
But looking is like longing in a wily disguise,
Trampling all the rules as it covets the lost prize.

Piano Solo

Will it be a road to the future
When the eyes are free heralds of truth?
Or will it be another failed adventure,
Lost with so many glories of youth?
Seeking buried treasures among life’s broken bones,
The child rides the dragon as her steed,
She gathers stray phantoms with their heart-breaking groans,
In a wish to fulfil her strongest need,
But roads might be endless and the pilgrims mistaken,
Taking liberties with the dark trails, so sadly forsaken.

I’ve got the elderberry blues,
’Cos you’re not walking in my shoes,
Life loves best the ones who simply live it,
Love returns the joy to those who simply give it,
But I just sit and sing aloud my elderberry blues,
Glad to know I’m not walking in your old muddy shoes.
