How does “From Dark Till Dawn” follow the expected pattern of a twelve-bar blues? In your answer, discuss form of stanzas, use of blue notes, polyrhythm, chord progression, and syncopation
What will be an ideal response?
• Three-lined (AAB) stanzas:
• The first line is repeated in stanzas one and two, the third line always rounds out the thought of the first line(s) usually with an ironic, witty punch line, such as,
". . . if one woman don't like it, there'll be a hundred and five that will."
• Stanza 3, with a different second line, follows an A B C text-line pattern.
• Blue notes—for example, on the words "rollin'" "tell," "want," "please" and "roll" in stanza 1
• Polyrhythm between the singer and his guitar accompaniment
• Typical twelve-bar blues chord progression
• Syncopation—for example at "how you want . . . tell . . . mama . . . done …roll . . . dusk to dawn" in stanza 1.
