Someday he'll come along, the man I love And he'll be big and strong, the man I love And when he comes my way I'll do my best to make him stay I ll look at him and smile, He'll understand And in a little while he'll take my hand And though it seems absurd I know we both won't say a word Maybe I will meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He 'll build a little home, just meant for two From which I'll never roam, who would, would you? And so all else above I am waiting for The man I love Maybe I will meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure I'll meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He'll build a little home, just meant for two From which I'll never roam, who would, would you?

This could be so cloying, and in a way it absolutely is, but also I find it so wonderfully joyous in spite of itself, I don't know. It's probably the version of I Got Rhythm I listen to the most.

Unfortunately I can't find a source for who of the team of like, 8 credited orchestrators was responsible for these, but I love the arrangement so much

Song Review: Joni Mitchell - “Summertime” (Live, July 24, 2022)

Accompanied by Ben Lusher’s jazz-lounge piano, Celisse’s blues-club electric guitar and a cast of singers including Lucius, Allison Russell, Brandi Carlile and others, Joni Mitchell declared: the livin’ is easy at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival.

That Mitchell delivered the line from “Summertime” without irony was itself ironic. Then 78, seated and surrounded by a huge supporting cast, Mitchell was performing in public for the first time in two decades.

And she pulled it off. The voice isn’t anywhere near familiar. But Mitchell’s ability as a singer is intact. And she managed to use what’s left of her instrument for all it was worth.

No one can blame her friends and collaborators for being overly enthused; however, their attempts to inject themselves detract from, rather than enhance, the performance. For while Mitchell may be diminished, she is not derelict.

“Summertime” follows “Both Sides Now” from the forthcoming (July 28) release of At Newport, which presents Mitchell’s surprise, July 24, 2022, appearance in its entirety.

The odds were a hundred to one against me The world thought the heights were too high to climb But people from Missouri never incensed me Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned For from histry I had learned How many, many times the worm had turned They all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round They all laughed when Edison recorded sound They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother When they said that man could fly They told marconi Wireless was a phony Its the same old cry They laughed at me wanting you Said I was reaching for the moon But oh, you came through Now they'll have to change their tune They all said we never could be happy They laughed at us and how! But ho, ho, ho! Whos got the last laugh now? They all laughed at Rockefeller center Now they're fighting to get in They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat Hershey and his chocolate bar Ford and his misery Kept the laughers busy That's how people are They laughed at me wanting you Said it would be, "hello, goodbye." But oh, you came through Now they're eating humble pie They all said wed never get together Darling, lets take a bow For ho, ho, ho! Whos got the last laugh? He, hee, hee! Lets at the past laugh Ha, ha, ha! Whos got the last laugh now? "

Ahmad Jamal's Timeless Brilliance: Exploring the Legacy of "At the Pershing: But Not for Me"

Introduction: In the annals of jazz history, certain albums stand out as defining moments that transcend their time of creation. “At the Pershing: But Not for Me,” released in 1958, is undoubtedly one such gem. Pianist Ahmad Jamal, accompanied by bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Vernell Fournier, crafted a masterpiece that not only marked a pivotal point in Jamal’s career but also left an…

GUYS WAIT I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING

THE THREE MUSKATEERS ARE LITERALLY SINGING ABOUT THEIR LOVE EXPERIENCES AT FIRST

J: Life has just begun Jack has found his Jill; Don't know what you've done But I'm all a-thrill

Jerry has never really felt romantic love before, because he's never really had any time between art and eventually fighting. Now that he sees what love is, he just can't imagine a life without it, choosing to embrace his love for this woman. He clearly cares about Lise, romantically, the most of the three muskateers, which is rarely questioned.

A: How can words express Your divine appeal? You can never guess All the love I feel

Notice Adam's use of the word divine. Although he does love Lise, he particularly loves her less for herself and more as a muse, because she's such an amazing dancer who can really portray her feelings. Once again, Adam, I think, genuinely did love Lise in the beginning, but he didn't really understand Lise. He mostly sees her as something godlike, and he sees love as something that is completely out of the picture. This is in contrast to Jerry, who originally saw love as out of the picture and then truly sees a chance for him.

H: From now on, lady, I insist For me no other girls exist

It is not debated that Henri is gay, especially in the fandom, so I think the line "No other girls exist" is quite literal. He probably also feels like Lise is the first person he was ever in love with, but he never really was. The reason why no other girls existed in his life is because he was never into girls in the first place, and he's known Lise for a while, so she's the only girl he could remotely ever see himself with. He believes himself to have a chance at love, like Jerry, but he's looking in the wrong places.

Can you see what I'm saying when I say how brilliant this show is? It frustrates me so much when someone says that it's a cash grab, because the show understood why the movie is good and made it even better. It's hard to dislike any of these amazing, complex, and interesting characters. All of them have flaws, which all stem from them having little experience with love, and they cope with these new feelings in different, relatively unhealthy ways. But, in the end, AAIP is about the beauty of love, in any form (Hell, even a mother's bond with her son!), no matter how conventional or unconventional it may be.

And, anyways, they're all so right. Lise is s'wonderful.
