Mood Indigo
Stoker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You ain't never been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".

I always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
I'm so lonely I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You ain't never been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.




That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,

You ain't never been blue,
You have never felt this down before


Till you've had that mood indigo.
Until you have felt the deep, dark mood that this song describes


That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
This feeling consumes me completely


While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
All I can do is give in to my feelings and let the blues continue


I always get that mood indigo,
I have been feeling this way for quite some time


Since my baby said goodbye.
Ever since my significant other left me, I have been feeling this way


And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
At night, when everything is quiet and still


I'm so lonely I could cry.
I feel so alone and abandoned that I could break down in tears


'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I feel like I have no one who loves or cares for me


I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
I am foolish to be this sad, but I am overcome with feelings of sadness and worthlessness


When I get that mood indigo,
Whenever I feel that deep, dark mood


I could lay me down and die.
I feel as if I could never get up again, and I want to give up on everything in life

@steeven23

this is absolutely fantastic. Michel Gondry + Roman Duris + Audrey Tautou + Omar Sy + Charlotte Lebon + The Lumineers and on top of that Boris Vian! I cannot wait.

The first song is Take the A train, a jazz standard. The second song is Ho hey from The Lumineers.

Para los que comparan Amelie con esta película, no tiene nada que ver! Esta es una excelente adaptación , para mi gusto muy buena , la progresión del color , los efectos , todo muy bien !

@mushdorck5584

Siento que esta película es algo infravalorada, al menos por esta parte del mundo.
