Ragged Shroud Blues


Artist: Ink & Echoes
Key Signature:
Time Signature: 4/4
Artist's Description
A somber, slow-burn jazz-blues elegy in the vein of Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit," "Ragged Shroud Blues" is built over a spacious spaghetti-western foundation with deep jazz chords. It's an unflinching funeral lament balancing the heavy silence of mourning against a sharp, cynical indictment of societal indifference and cruelty. The moving, emotionally raw performance with wordless vocal hums evokes the deepest traditions of blues and spiritual laments. The brief three-verse structure relies on spatial dynamics, leaving room for the vocalist to stretch out the phrasing from fragile grief to raw, burning intensity. Backed by weeping, melancholy guitar, harmonica and accordion, it is a high-concept acquisition for roots, jazz, or theatrical rock projects.

[Verse 1]
They laid that shroud over you
Like a sigh
That ragged white shroud over you
Like a cry
Life folded in on itself
Like a lie

[Verse 2]
Bid farewell to you with their cheap talk
Bleating sheep
Farewell to you with their hogwash
Mindless creeps
What turned a life into dust
A crack of whip

[Verse 3]
They threw your casket in a hole
With a thud
Offered your body to the worms
To the mud
Those eyes that used to burn with life
Like blood
