He said He couldn’t get rid Of that blue, blue funk When he died We didn’t bury him We took him to the sky 10,000 feet SE side of the mountain We dropped his ashes never To be forgotten He said He couldn’t get rid Of that blue, blue funk It hurt me down to my very core It went in deep Then a little bit more when He said He couldn’t get rid Of that blue, blue funk Who knew it would be like this Act all crazy then Burn out so quick He said He couldn’t get rid Of that blue, blue funk He said He couldn’t get rid Of that blue, blue funk

There’s a change in river’s flow Times are different now we know There’s no turning back to the way we were Now that we know There’s a change where the winds have blown Greed’s gluttony seeds have sown It’s been revealed Just how real And this we know There’s no need to deny it There’s a change in the climate Now that we know Pick us up as we break down Revolution underground We’ve been so lost But we can be found This we know

about

The tracks on Blue Funk include originals by Joan M. Meyer and Lauren G. Semler as well as the cover Garden of Eden by John Dawson of New Riders of the Purple Sage. Blue Funk is about living in the real world of climate change, suicide, mourning, corporate greed, struggling to make ends meet, letting go, getting let go, flashing back, and in spite of it all, still finding a way to be thankful. Jessie Rae skillfully fuses contemporary and existential themes into dynamic and spirited songs.

“This is a must have record ... The beautiful vocal melodies laid over some serious groovy guitars and rhythms will have your toe tapping the entire way!"
~ Prince Strickland, portland underground recording
