I Won’t Shed a Tear

 

In March 2023, I released three songs on social media platforms. The first one is “He Has a Beautiful Life”, which I blogged about already (click here to read about it). The next song I want to tell you about that I wrote this year, is called “I Won’t Shed a Tear“.

My idea was to create a country song with a country blues vibe in my piano playing attempts. I often write from personal experiences, but this song is totally fictional. I feel it is very relatable though, and it was super fun to create!

This song is about a married couple going through a midlife crisis. She feels vulnerable and defensive, and he seems to be hanging onto his last thread of youthfulness in hopes of not growing old just yet.

The husband in the song drives a vintage Camaro and has been chasing after younger women. His buddies use peer pressure to aid in his bad choices. He “finds“ himself at a pool hall, playing eight ball with a young woman who embodies youthful beauty.

Meanwhile, as gossip has a way of spreading, his wife has found out about the brunette beauty, and she is having none of it. So she tells him to “get on outta’ here!” when she hears of his indiscretions. Besides, who knows what else was told to her in the gossip chain. She even throws it in his face that he has a bald spot, which I doubt she would ever normally be so cruel as to point out something that is such a natural part of the aging process in many men, and even women. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

I hope you enjoy my light hearted attempt at a country song and my country blues piano playing! Feel free to leave a comment, just please do not be rude if you do not like this song.
