Today's video is about a song written by one of the artists who inspired me the most : Stevie Wonder

As always, every instrument has been played by me.

He released this song in his "Characters" album, in 1987. I never noticed this song, until I found a rare recording of him, playing this song with his band, back in the early seventies when he originally wrote it.
Wow, it was a totally different song to me! Unfortunately, it was only an excerpt and seems like there's no way to find the full recording.

So, I decided to record it myself, trying to reproduce that "vintage vibe" and mood of the earlier version. ;-)

Mic : Blue Baby Bottle
Piano, bass, guitar, drums & percussions : Andrea Ocello
Recorded and mixed by Andrea Ocello




- - - - LYRICS


Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
Tears on my pillow and I have been
cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Hear me cryin' through the night

I am lonely, downhearted and sad
'Cause I've lost the best woman that I ever had
to a friend of mine

Just can't figure out how it could be
that somebody like him could take her away from me
and it's on my mind, nearly all the time

Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
Tears on my pillow and I have been
cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Hear me cryin' through the night

Now I know just how best friends can be
'cause he made sure you knew your best was with me
and it's on my mind
Here's a lesson much greater that wealth
Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else
and your smiling eyes, won't be cryin' like mine

Yes I'm cryin'
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I'm cryin'
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
Tears on my pillow and I have been
cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Hear me cryin' through the night
