Brian Fallon - The Blues, Mary

The Blues, Mary by Brian Fallon
This song was on his myspace, and I was able to save it through that, thankfully, because his myspace has since been deleted and I would have missed listening to those songs.
Brian is the lead singer/guitarist of The Gaslight Anthem.

    Saw him a couple years ago acoustic with Dave Hause from the Loved Ones at the Bowery Ballroom. Hause did a bunch of covers as well as some of his songs, Brian made conversation with the audience; it felt as though they invited the audience over to their houses to play music in their garage/backyards and drink/relax. Artists like them play for the love of music. This should be the stuff that we here on the radio more so.

    I'd like to thank Brian for always singing his heart out. His voice, songs and bands have meant the world to me and my close family for the past 15 years. Through good times and bad he's always made it stick and very, very few people can do that anymore. Please keep writing; your impact on music is more important than you'll ever know. I'll be in the crowd next time you're down in Asbury singing my heart out for those who aren't here anymore. If you can stop the crowd for a second and tell all of us that people, music, hope, and love matters it would mean the world to a lot of your fans. RIP to my brother and best friend I could ever ask for Jesse. I miss you every day and nothing will be the same without you.

    "And I carried these songs like a comfort wherever I'd go And they was there when my summers was high And there when she left me alone Saying, "the soul is hard to find" Funny how a stanza from Brian Fallon himself relates so perfectly to how his fans feel about his songs.

    I learned how to hammer In the burning August sun I learned how to lie and cheat How to steal and just how to run I fell asleep most nights Somebody else's blood on my tongue, your tongue You learn just how to run But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you I learned how to cry In them lonesome September nights I learned to get by With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the street I fell asleep most nights With your pictures right behind my eyes, your eyes The killer and the victim arrive Right at the same time But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you And cause your smile Is bright like the ramparts on the 4th of July And my baby swings like a boxer And sends her right hooks under my chin She cries like a baby And she wears me just like a ring, Cries like a baby, And she wears me just like a ring I'd rather go then watch you leave I'd rather go then watch you leave I learned how to swagger I learned how to hold you while your body burned I learned how to compromise While this world went hurricane turn We fell asleep most nights With each others blood on our tongues My love Have you ever just had enough? But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you And It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you And It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you *Fade out And It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes

    I learned how to hammer, In the burning August sun, I learned how to lie and cheat, How to steal and just how to run, I fell asleep most nights, Somebody elses blood on my tongue, your tongue, You learn just how to run. But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. I learned how to cry, In them lonesome September nights, I learned to get by, With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the street I fell asleep most nights, With your pictures right behind my eyes, your eyes, The killer and the victim, Right at the same time. But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you, But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. And cause your smile, Is bright like the ramparts on the 4th of july, And my baby swings like a boxer, And sends her right hooks under my chin, She crys like a baby, And she wears me just like a ring, Crys like a baby, And she wears me just like a ring. I'd rather go then watch you leave I learned how to swagger, I learnd how to hold you while your body burn, I learned how to compromise, While this world went hurrciane turn, We fell asleep most nights, With each others blood on our tongues, My love, Have you ever just had enough? But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you, And It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. And It's just the blues, Mary the blues, Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.

    this is a treasure. this makes wandering of the main highway of music and on to the back roads worth it. its worth sifting through random bands that don't appeal to you and singers that have great lyrics but can't sing them or frustratingly short lived acts, and worth going back through the early, old, crappy work of your favorites for stuff like this. i'm in tears. amazing grace indeed, how sweet the sound, amen.

    Most people now call themselves musicians when they don't put anything into the music they play and have most of their hits written by several other untalented people. When I listen to music, I want to hear something that speaks to your soul and Brian Fallon is one of very few that can manage to put that kind of emotion into absolutely everything he's written.

    @effinhume He had a mixed tape that he recorded when he was younger, pre TGA. I actually saw an interview where fans were filming and basically handed him an original copy of the mixed tape, and he told stories about it for a couple minutes. It was amazing.
