Subject: RE: My Old Addiction From: Alice Date: 16 May 99 - 03:31 PM The song, Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song (My Old Addiction), just grabbed me and held me riveted the first time I heard it. I bought the kd lang songbook just to be able to have the music and lyrics to David Wilcox's song. The meaning of addiction spreads out from drug/alcohol to being addicted to infatuations, etc. This line, for example: "So when I try to lean just a little For just a splash to cool my face Ahh, that trickle, turns out fickle, Fills my boat up five miles deep." It's not safe to even try a taste of that old addiction.. or you drown. I've never had the chemical type addictions myself, but have seen others who have. My old addiction was the one of looking for the KISA (knight in shining armor).

Subject: RE: My Old Addiction From: Rick Fielding Date: 16 May 99 - 03:21 PM Holy Cow, Alice, I couldn't believe it, the first time I heard Chet Baker. "Cool jazz" was definitely not something I payed a lot of attention to. Folk, blues, rock and classical have always been my loves, but when I heard Chet sing and play "Shadow of your smile" I was transfixed. The guy just BLEEDS NOTES! When I saw the very sad film about him "Let's Get Lost", my conversion was complete. Once again, how sad that an artist who gave so much had to suffer so much in order to give. |
