It’s January 13th, 2024; We’ll discuss the blues and mental health today. Many people experience the blues, and it could be hormonal, or the result of an illness, side effect of surgery or medication, birth of a child, abandonment, or grieving a loss. As a spiritual person, I’ve talked many people “down from the ledge” in my life. I’ve even had conversations with a few people who I knew were in way too deep for me to help, and I’ve referred them to a licensed mental health professional.

A blues song with sax!

Here’s the thirteenth new music post for 2024 as I aim to consistently offer our original songs to the public. This is a story song that swings with some saxophone you may enjoy.

Our friend, Bubba Hudson, sings this Nashville, TN studio demo for us. Richard wrote this several years ago and worked with Steven Cooper (back when he had a music studio) to put it all together. Steven hired John Heinrich to play the swinging saxophone and Bubba for the vocals. We think the sax in this song kicks it! What do you think?

Have you ever had the blues?

I have experienced the blues a few times in my 62 years. I had postpartum blues after I’d had my babies, and I think it was a little worse after my second. I know it can be hormonal for sure. But there are other kinds of blues.

If you feel you might be depressed, reach out for support. I do think everything is spiritual. And there can be a spiritual cause for depression or a spiritual component, but I am not a doctor (or psychologist), I am a minister and spiritual advisor. So please reach out to a licensed professional mental health counselor if you feel you may be clinically depressed. Clinical depression goes beyond being sad.

Improve your Mental Health

The company I’ve been working with to improve my brain has been running a promotion the last few months and tracking it with an app (where every two weeks we fill out a self survey). To show you improvement is possible/trackable, here’s a screen capture of one of my test results:

If you want to know more about this, reach out to me. May we all soar in ’24!

To find a licensed mental health professional

You can search Google, Ecosia, or other internet browser for “mental health professional” or reach out to my dear friend, Jennifer Carey: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-h-carey/

Please let her know I referred you. We have known Jennifer for about ten years and she’s highly skilled and capable to help you. She’s one of the most non-judgmental, warm, and extremely caring individuals I know.

Our music catalog is online

We have over 400 original songs/material that filmmakers, podcasters, and more could use in movies, TV shows, video intros, and such. I share this post on Tumblr (automatic feed from WordPress), Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Alignable, and now, Truth Social (in that order). All of Richard’s original songs are available on his website at: Listen4Music.com

Most people haven’t heard our songs though! So, if you love one or more of these songs that I’ve been sharing (and will continue sharing this year), please share the song video (or this post) with your friends. You can also buy some of our songs on many of the music sites you subscribe to such as Apple Music and Spotify. You can search for Richard Murrey or ‘Chevy Ford Band’ to find our original songs: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2rjqwHW9PaUcZuq7wbDrC3

  1. I have come across two people with seasonal blues or depression on my meals on Wheels routes… After seeing them all year and then coming into their home and seeing them with the seasonal depression the blues on their heart all I could do was hold them allow them to cry on my shoulder and then of course I report that back to the center and then I keep an eye on them whether I see them each day or once a week and I try to do something amazing something just bizarrely out of the blue… pun intended 😉… On the day that I see them just to get a smile I’ll remind them that there is help out there and there’s always someone to talk to and that I will see them again soon. This week I decided to sing to each person on my meals on Wheels routes as while walking through the door lol they get a big kick out of my shenanigans and I get a real thrill out of their faces smiling at me their eyes so full of childish wonder and joy 🤗
