Candiria - Leaving The Atmosphere

Then Creol stepped forward and reminded them that they were playing the blues. He touched something in each of them, touched something in me, and the music became springier and deeper, and the air pulsed with expectation. Creole began to tell us what the blues is and what it is about. It turns out, not about something very new. The blues were made new by himself and his boys, who, above us, at the risk of madness and death, were looking for new ways to make us hear. For although the story of how we suffer and how we enjoy, and how we triumph for victory, is not new at all, we must hear it again and again. There is no other; in this darkness there is no other light for us.
