My evergreen playlist track for today is [I would rather go blind](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27d_Rather_Go_Blind) released in 1968 by [Etta James](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etta_James) an American singer and songwriter. https://youtu.be/EqNozcQ3Hcg *** **<center>Blessed!</center>** *** Etta James is an exceptional singer who during her time, performed in various genres, including blues, R&B, soul, rock and roll, jazz and gospel. According to Etta, the song was first headlined by her friend, Ellington Jordan who was in prison when she visited and they co-wrote the song together. *** #### Sing along to the lyrics. *Something told me it was over When I saw you and her talking Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry Girl"* *When I saw you and that girl, walking around* *I would rather, I would rather go blind boy Than to see you walk away from me child, and all So you see, I love you so much That I don't want to watch you leave me baby Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no* *I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking 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* *And baby, And baby, I would rather, I would rather be blind boy Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now.*- [Source](https://www.google.com/amp/s/genius.com/amp/Etta-james-id-rather-go-blind-lyrics) **** >I think the lyrics says it all. She would rather go blind than open her eyes to see the love of her life walking away with another woman. I can totally relate to this song because like any normal human with blood flowing through his veins and who understands what it means to love and be loved, **"I will feel hurt too to see someone I love so much walking away from me into the arms of someone else."** *** *I'd rather go blind Anwu m, than to see you walking away from me.* *** **<center>Make the world a better place for someone today!</center>**
