Reunion of Melodies: Thirty Years Since We Played the Blues
Lyrics
Since We Played The Blues
Reflecting on the time since the band played the blues.
Hey Jonni, how are you?
Greeting Jonni and inquiring about his well-being.
It's been quite a while since we played the blues.
Noting the considerable time that has passed since they last played blues music.
How many years have passed?
Questioning the number of years that have elapsed since their blues performances.
Thirty years or so. They've gone so fast.
Expressing surprise at how quickly thirty years have gone by.
And there was pleasure, and there was pain.
Acknowledging both pleasure and pain experienced during their musical journey.
But we had lots of fun with the Graveyard Train.
Recalling the enjoyment and challenges faced while being part of the Graveyard Train.
Hello Joe, what's going on?
Greeting Joe and inquiring about current happenings.
Now you're living in the land of Mickey Mouse and Donald Trump
Noting Joe's current residence in a place associated with popular culture and politics.
And just like you once did say.
Referencing a past statement about playing guitar in the USA.
Now you're playing your guitar in the USA.
Confirming the fulfillment of playing the guitar in the USA.
So you had a beer and a smoke.
Describing a moment of relaxation with a beer and a smoke.
But those crazy words of youth turned out to be not a bad joke.
Reflecting on the realization that youthful words were not merely a joke.
J.C., old man, how you been?
Greeting J.C. and inquiring about his well-being.
You got off the train so soon, but that's no sin.
Noting J.C.'s early departure from the train with understanding.
You don't give a damn bout that distant time.
Observing J.C.'s indifference to the distant past, expressing disagreement but accepting it.
And though I strongly disagree, I guess it's fine.
Respecting J.C.'s perspective on the bygone era.
You're still the master of gear changing hands
Acknowledging J.C.'s continued mastery in handling musical gear.
Like you were in the days of that ancient band.
Highlighting J.C.'s expertise reminiscent of their earlier band days.
Hi there, it's me again.
Greeting again, possibly referring to another band member.
What has happened in all that time since then?
Pondering the events that transpired since their blues-playing days.
We're all married now and have kids.
Noting the band members' current family situations with marriages and children.
So we made lots of children, but no hits.
Acknowledging the creation of families but lamenting the absence of musical hits.
And we had cheers and maybe boos.
Recalling both positive and negative audience reactions to their performances.
But that special feeling really hasn't been here since we played the blues.
Expressing a longing for the special feeling that existed during their blues performances.
Since we played the blues.
Reiterating the absence of that special feeling since they last played the blues.
