Blue Enough (to Sing the Blues)

Jesse Daniel Edwards is an award-winning songwriter based in East Nashville. Apart from his work as a solo artist, he spent five years on the road with The Smart Brothers, releasing 4 recordings and performing with the likes of First Aid Kit and Jason Mraz. As a young songwriter, Jesse relocated to Nashville where he became a protege of Al Bunetta (John Prine, Oh Boy Records). Honing his art busking outside of honky tonks and writing on Music Row in the years that followed, JDE crafted his raw talent into the passionate vocals and smart lyrics that would become his signature style. Favoring a DIY approach in the vein of Elliot Smith or Conor Oberst, Jesse’s heartfelt indie folk and alt-country sound has endured with his fans through his self-produced recordings and demos, along with his engaging live performances. His music has been featured in radio, TV, and independent films and is available on Netflix, Spotify (featured artist), and Apple Music.

Blue Enough (to Sing the Blues)
by Jesse Daniel Edwards
ASCAP

when I broke my finger in the door
when I slipped in the pool of blood on the floor
that door and that floor were both yours
You assured a drowning man you’d be true
I held my breath at the bottom of the pool for you
like a fool I keep jumping at the postman’s knock at half past four

I’m finally heartbroken enough
I’ve finally lost it all enough
I’ve been beaten down and beaten up by Love
a time or two
and I’m finally blue enough
to sing the blues

when you blew the credit card on a one way ride
left the Hyundai to die, parked on I-65
that broke down car, broke credit card, and broken heart were mine
you assured me he was just a friend
you assured him I wouldn’t be home till ten
like a fool I brought a dozen roses home early what a fine surprise
