Story behind the song
Like a lot of creative people I suffer from depression, but as I've got older I've learnt to keep it in check. This is a song about finding the good in bad situations and dealing with them.
Lyrics
THE DAY I SHAKE THE BLUES I've seen bloodshot sunsets Over motorway cafes Seen a silver pool of moonlight Out on the bay There'll be light in my darkness I know A new spring in my shoes Meet me out by the fading rainbow On the day I shake the blues We lie like dying embers Under scattered diamond skies I wonder if this dust remembers Or if I'll just die WORDS AND MUSIC BY JOE SOLO
