Artist/Band: Frank Black
Lyrics for Song: I'll Be Blue
Lyrics for Album: 93-03 [2007]



You stared a while

Then said to me

"Give me a smile

And aren't you having fun?"

Stood in my path

Down in the street

I wouldn't laugh

And you looked so stunned

I think you

Had no clue

I will be blue

Like a hermit in its shell

Like Jesus Christ on the hill

I'll be blue, I'll be blue

We had a drink

I sang some songs

You had to think

I didn't know my place at all

Please pardon me

For these my wrongs

And I will leave

But I won't put your party face on

I'll be blue

I will be blue

I will be blue

Like the reign of Mastodon

Like the alleys of old Lyon

I'll be blue, I'll be blue


About I'll Be Blue

"I'll Be Blue" by Frank Black stands as a defining track from his 2007 album *93-03*, capturing the melancholic introspection characteristic of his later work. Released during a period where Black explored themes of isolation and emotional vulnerability, the song exemplifies his signature blend of indie rock and atmospheric textures. The recording features a stripped-down arrangement that highlights the raw power of his vocals, creating an intimate connection with listeners who resonate with the song's underlying sorrow. As part of Black's extensive discography, this track reflects his evolution from the post-punk energy of his early years to a more subdued, folk-adjacent sound. It serves as a testament to his ability to craft evocative narratives through music alone, without relying on explicit storytelling. The song remains a staple for fans of his catalog, often cited as a prime example of his late-career artistic maturity and his commitment to exploring the complexities of the human condition through his recordings.
