Terraplane Blues by Robert Johnson

Terraplane Blues [Remastered] ROBERT JOHNSON (1936)  Delta Blues Guitar Legend

"Terraplane Blues" is a blues song recorded in 1936 in San Antonio, Texas, by bluesman Robert Johnson. "Terraplane Blues" was Johnson's first single and it became a moderate regional hit,^[1] selling 5,000 copies.
Johnson used the car model Terraplane as a metaphor for sex. In the lyrical narrative, the car will not start and Johnson suspects that his girlfriend let another man drive it when he was gone. In describing the various mechanical problems with his Terraplane, Johnson creates a setting of thinly veiled sexual innuendo. The guitar parts in "Terraplane Blues" are similar to those in Johnson's "Stones in my Passway".

Terraplane Blues

And I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan

And I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan

Who been drivin' my Terraplane for you since I been gone?

I'd said I flash your lights, mama, you horn won't even blow

Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine

I even flash my lights, mama, this horn won't even blow

Got a short in this connection, hoo well, babe, it's way down below

I'm goin' heist your hood, mama, I'm bound to check your oil

I'm goin' heist your hood, mama, mmm, I'm bound to check your oil

I got a woman that I'm lovin', way down in Arkansas

Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin', little generator won't get the spark

Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have these batteries charged

But I'm cryin', please, please don't do me wrong

Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for you since I been gone?

Mr. highway man, please don't block the road

Please, please don't block the road

'Cause she's reachin' a cold one hundred and I'm booked and I got to go

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

You, you hear me weep and moan

Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for you since I been gone?

I'm gon' get down in this connection, keep on tanglin' with your wires

I'm gon' get down in this connection, oh well, keep on tanglin' with these wires

And when I mash down on your little starter, then your sparkplug will give me fire

Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy:

Psychotherapy Notes: 

"For too long, care has been conceived of as either practitioner-centered or patient-centered. 

In actuality, the healing relationship has always been a crucible for mutual transformation. The bare willingness of human beings to encounter one another in the midst of our weaknesses and strengths is the quintessential transformative agent. 

But my experience tells me that it is nearly impossible for us to relate to another human being in this way if we do not begin to relate to ourselves in the same manner. 

To walk such a path requires a method: a disciplined way of learning to pay attention to all that is arising within. This is called mindfulness. 

But mindfulness is not simply a technique. It is an act of love. Our willingness to see, to hold ourselves closely just as we are, while being this way with another, is a revealing and deeply healing expression of care."

-- Saki Santorelli, in Healing Thyself
