Aristotle said that the same river you place your foot in is no longer the same an instant later. The present is always changing and so is the blues. They are like the laws of the land they have to be amended to suit the times we live in. There is always a down side to change. There will never be another Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. Even if we try. The new blues heroes are going to be different and we may like them more or we may like them less. The only thing that is guaranteed is there will be change. I thought the title would be strange coming from a contemporary blues artist like myself. I might could hear a traditional artist have a title like this one. But, I have sometimes felt the sadness with change. But if blues is the truth then we must face it and live in the now. The verses express the sense of loss and the bridge of the song gets to the heart of the matter.
