I nearly didn't release this song. When I first wrote it I meant the lyric in a metaphorical sense - blues falling like rain - you'll find it in many an old blues tune. And then Ukraine.

And I realised that the lyrics had assumed a whole new meaning - "blues raining down like a thunderstorm - falling on the one you love".. exactly what we are seeing on our TVs every night. So I thought - I can't release this now, it's too doomy and depressing.

And then I thought again and realised that actually, I have to release it. This is exactly the time to release it. So here it is.

On a musical level, it's a funky groove with a Latin feel - a touch of "The Healer" perhaps. Whatever. I like the track and if it strikes a chord in some way I hope that it will be a positive chord. The essence of the song says.. "don't let your love come tumbling down - like a house of cards". I think that's a sound sentiment. Whatever happens love will prevail.
