"Little Girl Blue" is a popular song with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart, published in 1935. The song was introduced by Gloria Grafton in the Broadway musical Jumbo. (Wikipedia)
The look of love is in your eyes A look your smile can't disguise The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
You've got the Look of love, it's on your face A look that time can't erase Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you Don't ever go Don't ever go I love you so"
"Between de Bars" llegó como una recomendación de "C.C.", una vieja amiga que prefiere el anónimato.
La canción en cierto sentido se emparenta con esa que decía "Amigos traigan cerveza...", o con "sírvame la copa rota..." pero con más posibilidades estéticas y semánticas: la implícita alusión a la ternura, a la fragilidad y a la vez, a la frialdad y dureza del conjunto, como una oposición entre un individuo solitario (Drink up, baby/Stay up all nighty...Drink up, baby/ Look at the stars./And I'll kiss you again...) y la suma de todos ellos (People you've been before /That you don't want around anymore)
Drink up, baby Stay up all night Things you could do You won't but you might
The potential you'll be You'll never see Promises you'll only make Drink up with me now And forget all about Pressure of days Do what I say And I'll make you okay And drive them away Images stuck in your head
People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still
Drink up, baby Look at the stars. And I'll kiss you again Between the bars Where I'm seeing you there With your hands in the air Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time And I'll make you mine And keep you apart Deep in my heart Separate from the rest Where I like you the best Keep the things you forgot
The people you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today"
Broken windows and empty hallways A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely Tin can at my feet Think I'll kick it down the street That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me To help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today
Madeleine Peyroux nació en los Estados Unidos en el año 1973, igual que el autor de este blog, la gran diferencia es que mientras que yo trataba de salir salir de la facultad de Derecho, ella lanzaba su primer disco (Dreamland - 1996).
En "Im all right", Madeleine Peyroux imprime ese tono de esperanza y de amor a la vida, pero no a la vida como un ideal platónico o de postal de día de la madre, sino a la vida de todos los días, imperfecta y al mismo tiempo espectante.
De modo que... I'm all right I've been lonely before...
He made me laugh He made me cry He smoked his stogies in bed But I'm all right I'm all right I've been lonely before I asked the boy for a few kind words He gave me a novel instead But I'm all right I'm all right I've been lonely before It's fine, it's OK It was wrong either way I just wanted to say There isn't much fun when you're drinking for one He got drunk, he fell down He threw a few of my things around But I'm all right I'm all right I've been lonely before
I'd like to believe healthy cigarettes But I have to conceive that wherever you are You're still driving my car Sticks and stones break my bones But tears don't leave any scars So I'm all alright I'm all alright I've been lonely before
Mmm... I'm all alright I'm all alright I'm all alright Yeah He played solitaire in bed Used to blow bubbles in bed He sang christmas song in bed
