Samantha Fish Amazing Live Concert

Samantha Fish Live – Need You More, Jim Lee Blues, Highway´s Holding Me Now and Blame it on the Moon!

Live at Musiktheater Piano, Dortmund Nov. 2017.

Incredibly beautiful song, showcasing Samantha’s incredibly diverse talent!

This woman is amazing! Samantha performs with such passion.

We are blessed to live in a time when there are a slew of great lady blues vocalists and guitarists, but Samantha’s vocals and picking on Charley’s Jim Lee’s Blues is a time traveling masterpiece supported by a great Scott Joplinesque full band arrangement. What sublime artistry!

Lyrics:
“Need You More”
Another bar, another hotel room
I thought maybe you’d be calling soon
But these days fly by without you
Nothing’s right, but nothing’s wrong
My feet keep moving but my minds withdrawn
Painfully mistaking my big talk for the truth

And there’s no one left for me to take it out on
I revel in the spin down to the bottom
I pushed you out to the unknown
Troubled heart takes the feeling home
And I need you more than you’ll ever know

I know that hopeful troubadour
He gave his all, but they needed more
I know that lonely ain’t the lowest thing to be
Baptized by fire and compromise
I’m busy chasing my own high
Sometimes when I look in the mirror, it’s still a long way out

And there’s no one left for me to take it out on
I revel in the spin down to the bottom
I pushed you out to the unknown
A troubled heart takes the feeling home
And I need you more than you’ll ever know

There’s no one left for me to take it out on
I revel in the spin down to the bottom
I pushed you out to the unknown
A troubled heart take the feeling home
And I need you more than you’ll ever know

Oh, I need you more than you’ll ever know
Oh, I need you more than you’ll ever know

“Jim Lee Blues”
Went away up the river some forty mile or more
I think I heard that big Jim Lee he blowed

She blow so lonesome, like she wasn’t gonna blow no more
It blowed just like my baby gettin’ on board

My Mama she is dead’ and my father well could be
I ain’t got nobody to feel and care for me

And If you don’t want me just give me your hand
And I’ll get a woman quick as you can a man

I laid my head in a steamer woman’s arms
And he laid came when he liad his head back in mine

It was moonshine, don’t you pay me no mind
‘Cause I did not let no other man have mine

Well the big Jim Lee keep a-backing up and down
Keep standin’ by the shore, man, if you’re water bound

“Highway´s Holding Me Now”
Sleepy truckers, prescription haze, they ain’t slept in daze
Give’em something to cut the smoke, Lord help’em on their way
Every line on this road is another line on my face
Say your door’s wide open but I know my place

My chest is pulling tighter
My heart can’t open wider
Do I have to leave for you to come around?
If I could breath you deeper
You’d be my only keeper
But the highway’s holding me for now

If you were my medication I’d need a straight shot
But these miles of peace of mind, that’s all I’ve got
Gimme gimme gimme more before this panic sets in
The wheels fell off awhile ago I can’t afford to start over again

“Blame it on the Moon”
Full moon fever, or my fears of growing old
Can’t justify my bad decisions anymore
I look in your eyes, I see life creeping by
I’m haunted by you, and I can’t sleep at night

I’ll blame it on the moon, if I can’t act right
I’ll blame it on the moon, if I’m not by your side

I’m riding the fence, I’m walking a real hard line
I’m afraid I’ll fall in the fire sometime
There’s no going back, there’s no going home
One of these days we’ll be out here all on our own

Blame it on the moon, if I can’t act right
I’ll blame it on the moon, if I’m not by your side

This river runs deeper, should we swim or carry on?
If freedom is just around the corner
Why are we doing this all wrong, yeah?

I’ll blame it on the moon, if I can’t act right
I’ll blame it on the moon, if I’m not by your side
I’ll blame it on the moon, yeah
These fools, they acting so crazy tonight
I’ll blame it on the moon, oh, yeah
No, I know
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah-
