You mean "In the Heartland" was "Deep Blue Sea" without lyrics?  :lol

In the heartland chord progression is different from miss you blues, while deep blue sea is exactly the same, so that's why he had to credit it.
He could also have credited rollin & tumblin for got to have something

It's not the same I know, but the start of the songs only reminds me of 'in the heartland'. ;)

Yes, and it's funny that you have to credit a melody like "Deep Blue Sea", but you don't have to credit any of the old blues chord progressions that have been copied billions of times. Whoever came up with them in the first place (back in the 1910s or when that was) would deserve to be richer than Bill Gates and Carlos Slim together!

I've loved, loved, loved this song since first hearing it. " you didn't leave a thing behind you but the miss you blues"

"you never used to look behind you..."

We all have stories off MK's stories..and I'm interested in hearing yours if you will share. It's pretty neat...we're in different countries, many of us, ..but different adventures, different locales...

Hope you will. Here's one of mine:

When I was younger...I did used to look behind me, with nostalgia, melancholy...Then, I had a child-- I rarely looked behind me.

But this song...easy kind of memories..deep maybe...but those that don't cut you.

When I was young, I used to travel by bus to visit family members fairly frequently. It was usually a  relatively short trip (2-3 hours), but quite frequently I'd also travel bus-wise on longer trips. This song put me in mind of one trip...a longer distance, and a fun journey...the miss you blues kind...you're young, it's an adventure, neat people on the bus...sweet memories.

But the  bus driver! I  felt he tried to dampen the spirits of some of us on the bus. In my youthful and somewhat rebellious spirt...I kind of gave him the what for.

Anyway, a month or so ago, I went to pick up my son at the bus station...as he's now coming to visit ME via bus from several hours away.
"who's gonna fill your shoes" On the way, the radio plays SOS, which used to play so often those days I'm talking about, and, I think about that bus driver from long ago...

So, I'm waiting for my son and the bus driver gets off. A pretty portly guy...just like before! And I almost want to approach him.

KInd of cool I thought. Easy, sweet. Miss You Blues.

I must admit that it's the contrary for me :

I look benhind me with nostalgia very often, and more ofetn since I have childrens  :)

well, a bit mixed, because I think at the future when I'm older and at the past in the same time... isn't life a perpetual cycle?  :)
