Blue Guitar by Norman Lamont
I wrote this in 2020. I woke up one morning with vivid recall of a dream in which a scruffy kid sitting atop a burned-out car sang the first verse, exactly as it is here. I got the feeling it was taking place in poor area of Rio. Once I'd worked out the chords I thought 'where would it go from here?' and improvised the second part. There's no hidden meaning or intention here, just exploring in the dark and trusting what comes up.
All instruments recorded at home in 2020 and 2024.
Remixed and mastered by Jen Clark in July 2024.

Lyrics
I got a blue guitar, but nobody's listening.
I got a blue guitar.
Time on my hands, shoes on my feet
I want to walk some quieter street
But where do you fit in?
