Seven Days A Week

from Live at The Royal Mail by Blues Arcadia

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Remember live music? Where the bass and drums rattle your ribcage, the guitar traces the line of your spine, keys caress the spaces between and the voice calls up something deep in your soul?
    This is what Blues Arcadia do. And they do it so well, they’ve bottled it for mass consumption.
    "Live at The Royal Mail" is a stunning document of Blues Arcadia’s first performance since the world went into lockdown eight months ago. It also marks the first full band show since the Royal Mail Hotel Goodna in Queensland, the only Australian venue to receive an award from the Blues Foundation in Memphis, reopened in October.

    Blues Arcadia have won kudos of their own: their 2019 album, "Carnival of Fools", debuted at #1 on the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart and at #5 on the AIR Independent Chart; it earned a five-star review in Brisbane’s Sunday Mail and 4.5 stars in The Weekend Australian Review, also drawing praise from UK and US.
    Based in Brisbane, the five-piece powerhouse that is Blues Arcadia fuses the soul of Stax and Motown with Chicago and Memphis blues to forge a bold Australian hybrid that exudes sweat, tears, dirt, swagger, style and sensitivity in equal measure.

    Like every other act in the country, Blues Arcadia saw its 2020 work diary wiped clean by coronavirus. Festival slots, tours, pub gigs, even intimate backyard events, no show escaped COVID’s dark wrath. But with the end of a year from hell in sight, Blues Arcadia are set to put the tribulations of 2020 behind them and clear the decks for 2021, when they hit the ground running with fresh dates in the tour diary, rekindled energy and a bunch of smoking hot new songs for the release of their second studio album next April.

about

Recorded live at The Royal Mail Hotel Goodna, Queensland Australia on 3rd October 2020.

lyrics

I just got to tell you how I’m feeling
Take a little time out on the weekend
Didn’t I do everything a man can do
I went from part-time to your permanent lover
But every Friday night you’re dancing with another
Didn’t I do everything a man can do

I can’t eat
I can’t sleep
You got me working like a dog
Seven Days a week

Our eyes met on Monday
Kissed you on Tuesday
Got married on a Wednesday
All our friends said it felt like Friday
Spent the weeknight burning
Saturday you’re yearning
For the weekend
Left me burning
Crying for a month of Sundays

I just got to tell you how I’m feeling
Take a little time out on the weekend
Didn’t I do everything a man can do
I can’t eat
I can’t sleep
You got me working like a dog
Seven Days a week
