'All Blues' is a 1959 instrumental jazz standard written by Miles Davis. It was first recorded by him on April 22, 1959 and released on his classic album 'Kind of Blue' for Blue Note.

Lyrics were added later by Oscar BROWN Jr:

The sea, the sky and you and I.
Sea and sky and you and I, we are all blues, 
All shades, all hues... yeah, we are all blues.

Some blues are sad and some blues are glad.
Dark and sad, oh, bright and glad, we are all blues.
All shades, all hues... yeah, we are all blues.
