''My Blue World Says Hello'' from Blue Guitars - Album Number Four - Electric Memphis Blues.
Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14, 2005 consisting of eleven CDs, one DVD and a full colour book, including paintings by the artist, liner notes and song lyrics.
The album is an ambitious project with the 137 songs recorded over the course of 1½ years with a work schedule - according to Chris Rea himself - of twelve hours a day, seven days a week.
Initially the project was inspired by Bill Wyman's "Blues Odyssey" and can be called an "odyssey" in its own right, for depicting a journey through the various epochs of Blues Music, starting at its African origins and finishing with modern-time Blues from the 60s and 70s.
Subsequently the eleven CDs are titled the following: "Beginnings", "Country Blues", "Louisiana & New Orleans", "Electric Memphis Blues", "Texas Blues", "Chicago Blues", "Blues Ballads", "Gospel Soul Blues & Motown", "Celtic & Irish Blues", "Latin Blues" and "60s & 70s".
Lyrics:
Everyone knows
My story of a heart broken clean in two
Everybody talking 'bout my never-to-be
No happy ending for me
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around, yeah
My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
Wants to know
Each time before
Good love seemed to pass me on by
Some kind of bad luck
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around
Since you been around me
My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
She wants to know
To take a chance with you
Is a dangerous way to go
But my blue world
My blue world says hello
Say a prayer and let it flow
Say a prayer for whenever it goes
Cos my blue world
Says hello.
