I'd Rather Go Blind (Julia Ryan Cover)
Etta James was one of the first singers I studied as a vocalist. She embodies the raw emotion that encapsulates what soul music is all about. She sang from a place of life experience and pours herself into everything she she sang. What learned about soul music from Etta James is that it’s not always about how you sound but about how you feel into the song, that’s what people feel when you connect to the emotion. They feel what you feel.

Lyrics:
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around
Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no
Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
