The blues is like a story told through music, it starts with sadness or struggle, but it also has hope. People in the South used to sing the blues when they were feeling down. Over time, people added more instruments and styles, making it grow into rock 'n' roll and other kinds of music we know today.
Examples
- A farmer sings about his lonely life on a farm.
- A woman in the city hums a blues song as she walks home.
