Chocolate
So I spent the weekend
Listening to music
Learning some lessons
About lyrics and structure
It came from Doug
Who helped me with my latest tune
His counsel on content and context
How to make it sing-literally
There was Debarge
And some Burt Bachrach tunes
Love songs and bossa nova
Matt Bianco and Diana Krall
Yes Diana Krall
A sexy blond with major piano chops
Someone they say is special
I’m sure Elvis Costello thinks so
Two tunes stuck out
“Night Train”, the Oscar Peterson classic
And “So Nice”, the quintessential love song
Made famous by Astrud Gilberto
As I was watching Diana Krall play it
I read the comments online
This one said it all-
“It’s like a melting chocolate pouring through your ears”
So sweet
So true
So nice.
