The Words I Swallowed - Bobby Saint | 1950s Blues Soul

Some men run out of time before they run out of words. This recording was found among a collection of unmarked tapes from a Detroit studio, believed to be from around 1958. Bobby Saint recorded this session on a quiet evening. The engineer said he cleared his throat before every take. Like the words were still stuck somewhere. This is a song about the cruelest kind of regret. Not the things you did. The things you never said. The love you felt but kept locked up until there was nobody left to say it to. He still practices in the kitchen. The walls don't answer back. "The Words I Swallowed" — Lost Soul Tapes 💿 Stay till the last note.
