History[]
Composition[]
My Melancholy Blues was likely written about someone close leaving the narrator, although the band has yet to comment on the song's true meaning. It is a striped down jazz piece that lacks both guitar and backing vocals, making the recording sound like a live performance. The piano, vocals, and bass are most prominent in the track.
