Goblins
by @oldlostjohn
Liner Notes
I went through some blues lyrics, picked out a few lines with the word 'blues' and changed it to 'goblins'. Yeah, why not? Then made some further tweaks to make more sense of it all. It's getting late here in Sweden and I'm tired, so this is it for me. No full album this year. Tomorrow I will do some listening. #folk #country #singersongwriter #acoustic #guitar #mandolin
Lyrics
I woke up this morning Goblins around my bed Picked up my pillow There was a goblin under my head
The goblins gathered at midnight Wouldn't turn me loose 'til day I didn't have the mojo To drive those goblins away
These goblins coming after me They won't leave me out of sight That's the reason why I stole away last night

Clever. I guess goblins are pretty much as far away from the blues as you can get Solid song with comforting genuine melody. You know your craft my friend. Thanks 🙏

Fantastic. What a creative thing to do as the genesis for song. Such a pleasant listen . Love the mandolin in this. The general laid back lilting pace is so inviting. Killer job!

Oh my! I want to go out and replace the word ‘blues’ with goblins from this day henceforth. Your voice is like an aural massage. Such a beautiful warm timbre with a pleasing surface texture. Really enjoyable, thank you.

clever idea to change blues into goblins. turning the blues into a folk song, sung in the rustic folksinger style rather than emulating a blues delivery. nice rhythm guitar and really pretty mandolin.
