Jazz Sites - Autumn re-lated

Terry Callier - Paris Blues

taken from the album - The Mr. Bongo Years (2008)

The sky was grey when I woke up this morning

Seems to me that nothin’ was the same

My situation changed without a warning

(The) Sad thing is I don’t know who’s to blame

Once upon a time our love was shining brightly

Maybe it was just too good to last

(Or I don’t know) perhaps I held to tightly

I had no idea the end would come so fast

Au revoir, she said

She’s out of my life-fm out of my head

So difficult to know which way to choose

And she’s gone c’est ca

Can I go on - je ne sais pas

Got to find a way to loose the Paris Blues

The boulevard is just another by-way

Where we walked together - now I walk alone

One more lonely heart (and) one more lonely highway

One more drifter - one more rollin’ stone

Au revoir, she said

She’s out of my life-fm out of my head

So difficult to know which way to choose

And she’s gone c’est ca

Can I go on - je ne sais pas

Got to find a way to loose the Paris Blues

Chet Baker - Almost Blue 

Almost Blue is a song by Elvis Costello that appears on his 1982 album "Imperial Bedroom".

 Chet Baker performed the song, with selected alternative lyrics, on his album Let's Get Lost (also known as Bread, Butter and Champagne) from 1992, which was the soundtrack to a movie of the same name.

Almost blue 
Almost doing things we used to do 
There's a girl here and she's almost you 
Almost 
All the things that you promised with your eyes  
I see in hers too 
Now your eyes are red from crying 
Almost blue 
Flirting with this disaster became me 
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue 
Almost touching it will almost do 
There's a part of me that's always true... always 


(Not all good things come to an end now, it is only a chosen few 
I have seen such an unhappy couple) 
Almost me 
Almost you
Almost blue

Sarah Vaughan - Whatever Lola wants

lyrics & recorded by Sarah Vaughan in 1954

Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets and little man, little Lola wants you 
Make up your mind to have 
(Make up you mind to have) 
No regrets (no regrets) 
Recline yourself 
Resign yourself, you're through
I always get, what I aim for 
And your heart and soul 
Is what I came for 
Whatever Lola wants (Lola wants) 
Lola gets (Lola gets) 
Take off your coat 
Don't you know you can't win 
You're no exception to the rule 
I'm irresistible you fool .. give in 
(Give in, you'll never win)
Whatever Lola wants 
Lola gets
 [Instrumental Interlude] 
I always get, what I aim for 
And your heart and soul 
Is what I came for 
Whatever Lola wants (Lola wants) 
Lola gets (Lola gets) 
Take off your coat, don't you know, you can't win 
You're no exception to the rule 
I'm irresistible you fool ... give in 
(Give in, you'll never win) 
Give in (give in, you'll never win) 
Give in (give in, you'll never win)

Hird - Keep Your Kimi 
taken from "Dealers of Nordic Music" 2003

Uh uh uh...
Full moon
Make this night
Love will 
Heal the wound
The glowing light
Will set things right
It's alright
Full moon
Wait in vain
Love for sure
Will come with rain
Rain for sure
Will make it right
It's alright
Uh uh uh...
[Repeat]
It's alright
It's alright...
[repeat]
Dark Sky - rinse me with rain and I'll cry
Love tears blurring my sight, it's alright
Filled up and want to be empty
Rinse Me
[repeat]
Uh uh uh...

Mario Biondi and the high Five Quintett
"This is what you are" 

Italian jazz/soul vocalist Mario Biondi is born of artistic stock in the Sicilian state of Catania

Take me up and let me down

Hold me when I'm sad

Take my eyes to look around

Take my ears to listen to the stars

This is what u are

Knock me down Knock me out

Make me feel shy

But when you hold me in your arms

I can just forget the tears I've cried

This is what u are

Write your number on my wall

It's all u gotta do

Carve your shadow on my soul even when you break my heart in two

This is what u are

lala

This is what u are

sha la la

Take me up and let me down

Hold me when I'm sad

Take my eyes to look around

Take my ears to listen to the stars

This is what u are

Knock me down knock me out

Make me feel shy

But when you hold me in your arms

I can just forget the tears I've cried

This is what u are

say ah ah

This is what u are

lala

This is what u are

sha la la

Can - She brings the Rain (1973)

taken from their 1970 album "Soundtrack"

Yes, I care if she brings me spring, 
But don�t care about nothing, 
She brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain. 
In the dawn of the silvery day 
Clouds seem to melt away, 
She brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain. 

She brings the rain, it feels like spring, 
Magic mushrooms out of dreams, 
She brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain. 
So mellow yellow, grey disappears, 
Flying on the raven�s wing, 
She brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain. 
Yes I care, she brings me spring, 
But don�t care about nothing, 
She brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain. 
She brings the rain, it feels like spring, 
Magic mushrooms out of things, 
She brings the rain, it feels like spring, 
She brings the rain, it feels like spring, 
She brings the rain, it feels like spring, 
She brings the rain. 

In the dawn of the silvery day 
Clouds seem to melt away, 
She brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain, 
Oh yeah, she brings the rain.
