เพลง The Nearness of You
[Originally written by Ned Jones and Hoagy Carmichael for the movie "Romance In The Dark"]
[Recorded by Hoagy Carmichael in 1937]
Dear Pek,
You surprised me big time with your interested in JAZZ!!
I'm also interested in JAZZ but have no knowledge how to utilize it yet! There's one song that penned by Hoagy Carmichael that I loved to sing/play whenever I could. So here I immediately did it for you before my fire was out. The first version here was electrically recorded (if you know what I mean). Just ignore the HISSSSS sound at the beginning and the end and also the LOW quality of the audio that I'm still at the stage of learning, I know that I'll have to learn how to tweak those buttons!!, I hope it'll get better after many more of my trial and error. And I'm also thinking about doing it acoustically too, we'll see;
It'll help a little if you click to watch for full HD at 1080p.
And now the purple dusk of twilight time steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb. Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away. Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday. The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend. The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie. And I am once again with you
When our love was new. And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago. Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms the nightingale tells his fairy tale
of paradise where roses grew though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain my stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain...........
Yeah, now I also got it done in "Acoustically" to share with you too;
ชอบคลิปน้าแนปมากเลยครับ ขอบพระคุณมากครับที่ช่วยให้กำลังใจ และจุดไฟให้น้องๆครับ
ตอนนี้นึงออกอีกสองเพลงที่อยากเล่นเป็นแจ๊ส
1 I love you for sentimental reasons
2 รักคุณเข้าอีกแล้ว
ขอเวลาไปหาคลิปสอนในยูทูปก่อนเดี๋ยวเจอกันเร็วๆนี้ครับ
I'm glad that I could somehow entertain you and you're very welcome to let me light your fire and inspire you to keep doing what you love. When you get to my age ( of course very long way from here) you'll realize that to GIVE is one of the reasons that you should live for.
Nobody can please everybody all the time, somebody can please somebody sometimes, and I'm certainly glad that my MUSIC can still please you at the time. I always remind myself that "One man's treasure is another man's trash" my young friends
If I could, I would imagine that my MUSIC is somewhat like a nameless tiny flower along the trail that someone happens to stop and see and like it (at least for a fraction of moment) while that person is strolling along his/her way through one's life
I'm sitting down by the highway
Down by that highway side
Everybody's going somewhere
Riding just as fast as they can ride
I guess they've got a lot to do
Before they can rest assured
Their lives are justified
Pray to God for me baby
He can let me slide
'Cause I've been up and down this highway
Far as my eyes can see
No matter how fast I run
I can never seem to get away from me
No matter where I am
I can't help feeling I'm just a day away
From where I want to be
Now I'm running home baby
Like a river to the sea
Baby if you can see me
Out across this wilderness
There's just one thing
I was hoping you might guess
Baby you can free me
All in the power of your sweet tenderness
I can see it in your eyes
You've got those bright baby blues
You don't see what you've got to gain
But you don't like to lose
You watch yourself from the sidelines
Like your life is a game you don't mind playing
To keep yourself amused
I don't mean to be cruel baby
But you're looking confused
Baby if you can hear me
Turn down your radio
There's just one thing
I want you to know
When you've been near me
I've felt the love stirring in my soul
It's so hard to come by
That feeling of peace
This friend of mine said
"Close your eyes, and try a few of these"
I thought I flying like a bird
So far above my sorrow
But when I looked down
I was standing on my knees
Now I need someone to help me
Someone to help me please
Baby if you need me
Like I know I need you
There's just one thing
I'll ask you to do
Take my hand and lead me
To the hole in your garden wall
And pull me through
มีสหายน้อยเทียร่ากับพี่นพดลและลุงอ้นคนเก่งมาแจมด้วยครับ
