Liner Notes

A collaboration with Nadia Cripps ( @musicsongwriter )
based on a Bluesy Keyboard track she submitted for the "Instructional Design" skirmish: https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/301977 The lyrics are based on instructions to someone feeling down as to how they might break out of it.

NOTE: I wouldn't suggest this to someone with genuine depression 🙄

Lyrics

When you're feeling lonely
When you're feeling blue
When you're feeling down
And you don't know what to do
Have yourself a shower
Put on those new clothes
Look yourself in the mirror
And strike a happy pose

Troubles seldom come singlehanded
Troubles always seem to arrive in pairs
Troubles take the light out of living
Leave you smothered in your worldly cares
But if you can teach yourself to forget them
For maybe just an hour or even two
You can banish those worrying troubles far away
Though I know that it's so hard to do
I know that it's so hard to do

Fake a smile at the beginning
Give your shoulders a shrug
That smile will become permanent
When your resources you've dug
Call up one of your friends
Arrange for you to meet
Talk about anything but your troubles
In that bar on Bleaker Street

When you're feeling lonely
When you're feeling blue
When you're feeling down
And you don't know what to do
Put some comedy on the T.V.
A laugh blows the blues away
You'll see that pretty soon
You can face another day
Pretty soon you'll face another day
A week, a month, a year or a lifetime!
