I'll have a Blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain And when that blue heartache starts hurtin' You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
2000年にリチャードギア主演の同じタイトルのラブロマンス映画を発見。この曲が使われたのかなぁ?チャンスがあったら映画を見てみようと思います。Autumn in New York本当に良い曲です。素晴らしい!
Autumn in New York Music&Lyrics Vernon Duke
Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting? Autumn in New York, it spells the thrill of first-nighting Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel They're making me feel I'm home It's autumn in New York that brings the promise of new love Autumn in New York is often mingled with pain Dreamers with empty hands may sigh for exotic lands It's autumn in New York It's good to live it again
Lovers that bless the dark On benches in Central Park Greet autumn in New York It's good to live it again
鈴木のアルバム「I'll close my eyes」ではヴァースから歌ってしっとりと。最後はスキャットでやけくそ歌い!
だって失恋ソングなんだもん。
「But not for me」は、1930年の「Girl Crazy」というブロードウェイミュージカルのために作られた曲。その後、1943年には、ジュディガーランド主演でミュージカル映画にリメイク、大ヒット!「Embraceable You」「I Got Rhythm」他あり。演奏も良かったでしょうね!(トミードーシー楽団。)ちなみに、ガーシュウィン兄弟が生み出したミュージカル「GIRL CRAZY」は90年代に「CRAZY FOR YOU」としてよみがえりました。Youtube見つけました。ケネディーセンターで行われたものです。曲はBut not for meではありませんが、雰囲気をキャッチできます。

But not for me
Music : George Gershwin / Lyrics: Ira Gershwin (1930)
(verse)
Old man sunshine, listen, you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it ,and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax, don't you dare Ever tell me, he will care I'm certain, it's the final curtain I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas,
who tell you fate, supplies a mate It's all bananas!
They're writing songs of love, but not for me A lucky star's above, but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of grey than any Russain play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get that way Heigh-ho-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of his kiss I guess he's not for me
He's knocking on a door, but not for me He'll plan a two by four, but not for me I know that love's a game I'm puzzled, just the same was I the moth or flame , I'm all at sea It all began so well, but what an end This is the time a lady needs a friend when ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot and there's no knot for me
