Ko voli Bili Holidej?

[Sensei]

Htedoh pre par dana da otvorim temu, baš na njen rođendan 7. aprila, al mi promače...

Volite li muziku i pevanje Bili Holidej, legendarne Lejdi Dej?

 

[Sensei]

Ja najviše volim glas s kraja karijere, već raspukao, na pola snage.

Negde oko 57me pa do smrti 59te prošlog veka

Ovako nešto

My man don't love me
Treats me, oh, so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen

He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

But if you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home everyday
If you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love's just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on, baby
It has turned off and gone

Billie Holiday - Don't Explain (Live 1958)​

Hush now, don’t explain
Just say you’ll remain
I’m glad your back, don’t explain

Quiet, don’t explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don’t explain

You know that I love you
And that love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For I’m so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don’t matter
When you’re with me, sweet

Hush now, don’t explain
You’re my joy and pain
My life’s yours love
Don’t explain

Billie Holiday - My man don't love Me​

Priča iza ovog snimka je zaista sjajna.

Bili Holidej i Lester Jang su imali vezu koja se završila neko vreme pre toga i od tada nisu razgovarali. Ovaj set je bio prvi put da su bili zajedno od raskida. Kada se sesija završila, razišli su se u suprotnim pravcima bez govora.

Sjajno je gledati Biline izraze lica dok peva ovu pesmu sa tako ironičnim naslovom i tekstom. Kada je Lester solirao (u sakou od tvida) njen izraz izgleda kao da kaže: „Da, još uvek dobro sviraš“.

Billie Holiday, My Man​

It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
It's my man
Cold or wet
Tired you bet
All of this, I'll soon forget
With my man

He's not much on looks
He's no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him

I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do?

Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right

What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on
My knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forever more

Imala je baš težak život od malih nogu. Uhapsili su je na samrtnoj postelji.

Evo kratak dokumentarac
