A World Full Of Strangers
B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King
On every little thing
We've missed a lot of sunshine
And caught a lot of rain
If you want to leave I can't make you stay
But there is something I have to say
No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home
Restless heartslooking for a love
Are waiting in the street
They're all prepared to give you
The bitter with the sweet
If you wake someday and you reach for me
Well you knowthis is where I'll be
No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home
A World Full Of Strangers
B.B. King's 'A World Full Of Strangers' stands as a poignant testament to the bluesman's mastery of emotional storytelling through guitar and voice. Recorded in the classic Chicago blues tradition, the track exemplifies King's signature approach: a deep, resonant tone paired with lyrics that explore the isolation and camaraderie found within the music industry. The song reflects the broader narrative of the blues, where personal struggle and universal longing are woven together to create a timeless sound. As a staple of King's discography, the recording captures the raw intensity of his performances, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into the life of a musician navigating a world of transient connections. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to resonate across generations, reminding audiences of the shared human experience of being an outsider seeking belonging.
