performance What do you think of my song?

I'm an 18-year-old bassist and singer from the Netherlands. I started writing my own songs about a year ago, and I'm rarely satisfied with what I come up with.
I've recently written a new blues-inspired song in Dutch, with the lyrics loosely based on Born Under a Bad Sign. I'm not sure what to think of the song itself, musically speaking.
What do you guys think of the song? I'd really appreciate any feedback!

Dutch lyrics btw

Enough running away, I'm getting that blues

I've been playing jazz for quite some years now, and I have so many doubts, about everything. Almost every single GOOD jazz musician i've meet has told me "the blues is the key" and I've neglected it big time, until now, I'll try my best to unravel the wisdom in this artform.

PLEASE, recommend me blues recordings you think could help me achieve this goal. Whether it's important recordings, obscure ones, or just recordings with great feel.

Bonus points if some are videos, Seeing the guys feels different, more connected.
