From the recording Gumboots

Renaté Bianca presents Gumboots: a jazz/blues song inspired by the 'gut bucket blues' sound of New Orleans. With vocals that are evocative of another era, this song winks at musical nostalgia, while cheekily advocating a gutsy, ‘attitude is everything’ approach to life.

Lyrics

Gumboots
With my gumboots on I'm standing
In the middle of a puddle
That I call the incongruity of life
My mother warns this will get messy
But messy sounds just fine
In fact messy sounds illogically divine

So you'll have to pardon me
But I can see the fun in this
Muddiness is no distress to me
See the twinkle in my eyes
I just can't help myself
My gumboots and I
Are gonna have some fun

The puddle beckons me
And tells me I should paint a splash or two
Forget all etiquette and just let loose
Quit asking how or why
Just know the rain wont make me cry
Laugh and relinquish the rules

So you'll have to pardon me
But I can see the fun in this
Muddiness is no distress to me
See the twinkle in my eyes
I just can't help myself
My gumboots and I
Are gonna have some fun

So here’s to the storm
Here's to the rain
Here's to the downpour that I cannot explain
Here's to the thrill of just letting go
When you don’t know
How things will all work out
