Darkest Shade of Blue

from Fun Guy by Scott Cooper

/

about

“Darkest Shade of Blue” is the longest tune on the CD and written around the main riff, which doubles as a bass line. I played the bass, drums, and lead guitar part (on my jazzy ES-175) while my buddy Gary Gates plays the perfect reggae rhythm guitar. Gary’s a monster soloist too, but I let myself solo on this one. Meanwhile, Gary Kehoe (sometimes of the California Honeydrops) adds some percussion and the aforementioned Jon Dryden adds more tasteful keyboard parts. Really just your run-of-the-mill minor key reggae blues.

lyrics

I, I don’t know you anymore
Once we were lovers
Now we’re strangers at the door

What happened to you
Will the truth ever be revealed
Don’t ask the judge or jury
Cause the documents are sealed

I, I don’t know what became of you
Once you were golden
Now you’re the darkest shade of blue

You, left me standing in the rain
I’ve grown so numb
I can’t feel any more pain

I, I don’t know what got in to you
Once you were golden
Now you’re the darkest shade of blue
