The song "Love in Vain Blues" by Peter Green Splinter Group is a cover of the classic blues song originally written and recorded by Robert Johnson. The lyrics tell the story of a person who is filled with sadness and heartbreak as they follow their loved one to the train station. The protagonist of the song follows their love interest with a suitcase in hand, depicting a sense of longing and desperation. However, it becomes clear that their efforts might be in vain as they sing, "Well it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell, when all your love's in vain." This line suggests that their love and efforts seem to be unrequited or not reciprocated. As the train arrives at the station, the protagonist looks the person they love in the eye, but their sadness overwhelms them and they cannot help but cry. The departure of the train with two lights on behind it symbolizes the passing of an opportunity or a love that has slipped away. The blue light represents the protagonist's sorrow or sadness, while the red light represents their state of mind. Overall, "Love in Vain Blues" portrays the melancholy and despair felt by someone who loves deeply but feels unloved or abandoned. The lyrics and emotions in the song resonate with the pain and longing often associated with lost love or unfulfilled relationships.
