  • Lyrics:
    Almost blue
    Almost doing things we used to do
    There's a girl here And she's almost you
    Almost
    All the things You promised with your eyes
    I see in hers too
    Now your eyes are red from cryin'
    Almost blue
    Flirting with this disaster, became me
    It named me as a 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
    now your eyes are red from crying
    Almost you
    Almost me
    Almost blue

    When he started singing this sad song, I felt tears welling up, it was so powerful. I could feel the emotion. This is a real artist. The film was brilliant and then the ending was devastating. I was stunned because the film was like he said, like a dream. Maybe life is just a dream, like the song! We feel it and live it and then go to sleep. It all just passes us by. Like a Dream.

      And I was surprised to learn he had. I thought it was one of those old torch songs from, like, the '40s or whenever they used to write those old-style slow songs, well before Elvis Costello's time, even before he was born. I was surprised to learn that "angry young man," Pump It Up, new wave Elvis Costello had written it. From Armed Forces rockers to these jazzy, mellow torch songs that old jazz singers would sing. Artists even your parents wouldn't be into. Who'd-a thunk it?

    My Grandfather played trumpet in a band in Queensland Australia
    ..approximately in late 1920s.
    My mother told me, her Dad, driving to a gig had the misfortune to have a large Kangaroo cross the track
    Simultaneously landing on his drums BANG broken in a Kangaroo bounce, without breaking a beat it bounced unharmed to the other side of the road.
    Outback life.
    When he lost his teeth he stopped playing.
    I asked ,Why?
    I was told teeth are necessary to be able to play trumpet.
    I hope you understand my message.

      Кирилл Косенков I am, there is mostly no question asked when it comes to Chet being a genius when it comes to music. Not worshiping him is not disrespect.

    Almost doing things we used to do
    There's a girl here and she's almost you
    Almost
    All the things that you promised with your eyes
    I see in hers too
    Now your eyes are red from crying
    Almost blue
    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
    Now your eyes are red from crying
    Almost you
    Almost me
    Almost blue
