Hi everyone! It’s the 70s week and I couldn’t be more excited!!! I consider my self an old soul cos I love the oldies so much. My challenge this week was picking a song to do😂 I eventually chose to do “I’d rather go blind” The song originally recorded by Etta James in the 60s was also recorded in 1972 for Never a Dull Moment, the fourth album by Rod Stewart. It’s a soulful and beautiful song. I was able to add some embellishments for originality and I hope you enjoy every bit of it. Special shoutout to the amazing judges who dedicate their time to listen and encourage us @verbald @lordbutterfly @silentscreamer
LYRICS
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around
Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no
Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
