재즈역사상 스윙에 대한 모든 것을 헌신한 재즈 작곡자이자 연주자인 듀크 엘링턴. 스윙 시대에 그가 남겨놓은 위대한 유산은 재즈가 시대를 대표하는 음악적 아이콘으로 자리잡는데 지대한 영향을 끼쳤으며, 오직 작곡과 연주, 악단을 사랑하며 살아간 외길 음악 인생은 재즈를 보다 풍부하게끔 하는 중요한 자양분을 제공했다. 듀크 엘링턴의 거의 모든 것을 담았다 해도 과언이 아닌 그의 최전성기 앨범.
You ain't been blue; no, no, no. You ain't been blue, Till you've had that mood indigo. That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Always get that mood indigo, Since my baby said goodbye. In the evenin' when lights are low, I'm so lonesome I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me, I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be. When I get that mood indigo, I could lay me down and die.
In my solitude you haunt me With reveries of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die I sit in my chair Filled with despair Nobody could be so sad With gloom ev'rywhere I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude I'm praying Dear Lord above Send back my love Alternative lyric: In my solitude you haunt me With reveries of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die I sit in my chair I'm filled with despair There's no one could be so sad With gloom ev'rywhere I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude I'm praying Dear Lord above Send back my love
