      I'm lonely...I know...music is the language of emotion. I know that, for sure. I've gotten my share of standing ovations. But I left everything 15 years ago to come to this place and care for my dear mother, who just died last October. We never thought she'd live this long! ha ha...but I took care of her till the end. She got her wish; she got to die in her sleep, in her own bed, in her house. God Bless my mom, Agnes...which means "Lamb Of God"...now she's gone. Every morning I wake up thinking I have something share with her...then look for her...and finally realize...she's gone. Sometimes I think I hear her calling my name. I know...this will all eventually pass...but I bet I can play the blues better than any 19-25 year old! ha ha...

      Dear rami
      It's March 8th , it's currently 7:33 pm , im in tripoli libya , I can see the sunset through the window while laying on the couch alone in the house .
      Having thoughts of despair and loneliness not because I'm alone but because I have so much going on in my life that I can't share with anyone ...
      I know deep down that I need help yet I keep pretending to be strong.
      I am strong and I am capable but sometimes admiting that we need help is all we need.
      Kindest regards ❤ I hope this letter finds u well and loved

      @83scalpel Chet Baker's and BB King's Thrill is gone have not a thing to do with one another. I mean they are not the same composition. Two totally different pieces of music. Not a version or rendition or anything like that. Nothing in common. allmusic: "From Chet Baker's first vocal recording session in 1953 (Chet Baker Sings [1953]) comes this cool West Coast jazz treatment of an old Tin Pan Alley song, not to be confused with the B.B. King blues hit from 1970. "wiki: Chet Baker's cover of 'the thrill is gone' by BB King??? i have no idea what you are talking about.

      @eva Spinaci acknowledge it. Live it. Cry. Dig deep. With my own depression, I ignore it until I can't. I think it would help if I regularly intervened and acknowledged and expressed it. And attended to it. Being physically active is the best counter-measure. I say this from experience (I fail at practicing tho), and from my uni classes.

      Jesus died the painful death our sins deserve. John 3:17 says, “God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” By sacrificing himself for us on the cross, he took the punishment for all of our sins at once.

    A number of years ago I spent a year in New York. One weekend, I don't remember the hotel I was staying in, but I had found a really good jazz station. I had just fixed myself a drink when this song came on. I stood there, drink in hand, looking out on the city as a soft rain was falling. Of course it would have been better if a semi-nude woman had been beckoning to come back to bed. But it was real life not a movie. The mood was just right with the drink and Chet Baker on the radio. I've never forgot that moment. And everytime I hear this song, I'm back in that hotel room. Sometimes life just gives you that perfect moment you can keep in mind forever. Thanks for posting this awesome song... Greetings from Iran

      Jesus died the painful death our sins deserve. John 3:17 says, “God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” By sacrificing himself for us on the cross, he took the punishment for all of our sins at once.
      Matthew 4:17
      From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
      Luke 13:24
      Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
      1 John 1:7
      But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

      One of the most famous jazz musicians of all time, Chet Baker was an iconic cool jazz trumpeter and singer. In truth, Baker’s voice was unusual. Mellow, sonorous, and defined by a somnolent languidness, it also had a mysterious androgynous quality. Chet Baker rose to fame in the late 1950s as part of the West Coast Jazz movement; a more calm, cool and restrained take on jazz music. 5:35 [Famuse Talent; Jazzfuel; Journal Philistine Toronto]

He's passed away in my twenty's didn't really feel hurt by him being gone though. I do how ever have a love for jazz soul blues and anything with a saxophone. I guess I am drawn to this type of music but inside it makes me feel closer to my father. Who I have come to miss and dearly love over the years despite him not being alive.

    This is what true art sounds like. What it elicits from you whilst you listen to it is the very definition of what art, great art, aspires to do. The comments you read here are a testament to the fact that even amidst this most insipid of musical eras great art will always endure. If you ever find yourself in despair at the culture of the day take some solace from the fact that over a long enough period of time genius always perseveres and mediocrity always perishes, Its just a matter of time. Longevity is the ultimate measure of art and by that standard Chet Baker is immortal.

    Tonic for a weary soul. So interesting how art can turn hardship and sadness into something this lovely and expressive. It allows one to not wallow in their sad feelings, but rather to hear them reflected back as a universal part of the human condition, and to transcend them for a short time. It really is like a medicine for the aching soul.

    Flirting with this disaster became me
    It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
    Almost blue
    Almost touching it will almost do
    There's a part of me that's always true...always
    All the things that you promised with your eyes I see in hers too

      I'm really trying to figure things out right now... as I try to get deep into reasons, reasons cut my soul and lives a feeling of uncertainty. Life is hard to understand that much I know until now, not that I didn't know before but it feels different now as I grow older. Songs like this sets the mood for a night of thinking and lets you try to understand maybe a little more.

    In the hush of midnight's shadowed tune,
    Chet's trumpet weeps beneath the moon.
    Notes like teardrops softly fall,
    Echoes of a melancholy call.
    In smoky rooms where shadows dance,
    Chet's horn weaves a forlorn romance.
    A solitary sigh, a lonesome cry,
    As melodies of heartache amplify.
    His trumpet whispers tales untold,
    Of love that's young, and love grown old.
    Through muted brass, a mournful plea,
    A requiem for lost ecstasy.
    A lonely street, a dim-lit bar,
    Chet's music drifts like a fading star.
    In every chord, a soul laid bare,
    A sonnet of sorrow suspended in air.
    Each breath he takes, a heavy sigh,
    A wistful echo, a muted goodbye.
    Through amber notes, the pain unfolds,
    A symphony of sorrows, stories untold.
    The night embraces the mournful sound,
    As Chet's trumpet weeps, unbound.
    A ballad etched in shadows deep,
    In the music of Chet, the sadness seeps.

    This mastery of melancholic music is absolutely incredible. I can feel the sorrow. I can see the sadness. It's amazing to live in this time where we have unparalleled access to a time no longer with us. All those who say you were born in the wrong generation. Think again. These times are unrivaled with regard to access to music, and information. Absolutely brilliant!

    Why do so many super talents like Chet Baker live short and unhappy lives while entertaining us to the max with songs like this? It is fashionable to think that the conflicted artist is necessary to entertain at the 'as-good-as-it-gets' level as does this trumpet player; but I don't think so myself. At any rate, thank you, Chet Baker.

      +Yassine Taoudi I don't think that is true, Yassine. Many of the classical composers were well-rounded people and produced super work. Saint Seans comes to mind. For sure, there were conflicted composers as well (Puccini comes to mind). it just seems more jazz greats muddle their lives than in other genres.......

      @yassinet.benchekroun5087 9 років тому +10

      +Cecil Williams It's true that we can find examples that prove I could be wrong.. But still, I believe that it depends on what you like.. If you- like me- like sad music, you'll love the romantic composers such as Chopin or Rachmaninov... And guess what, Rachmaninov composed his most famous piece (second piano concerto) after 3 years of deep sadness... Same story for beethoven's moonlight sonata, he was in love with a girl that didn't love him... So as I said, those extraordinary musics which are extremely sad wouldn't have been composed if the composers were living "cool" lives...
