- 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 - Hudba
Chet Baker was one the most sublimely tragic, passionate, and talented figures in all of musical history.
Nah, he was an asshole drug addict that could play and sing music in a beautiful way.
También un monstruo
@@hugofernandez7357 en qué sentido?
@@yoinerperea2031 su personalidad violenta y adictiva supongo contribuyeron a crearlo
@@hugofernandez7357 like all addicts
One of the most brutally honest and depressing performances ever, simply beautiful
Tragically beautiful❤️🔥
What do you interpret this song to be about
@@doreenclark1842 almost blue, not being depressed, but being in that middle ground. almost like you feel drained
Some would say Leonard Cohen songs to die with, obviously not heard this, god rest your soul Chet.
Doesn’t depress me but I know what you mean
Try to be quiet, it's that kinda of tune.
Alejandro Sarceño It certainly is Alejandro my brother.....
It really is
Crowds being gently educated 👍
i've watched this movie. his life and many misterions arround him. his sadness his own loneliness, his addiction, his blues, his lies. the movie "let's get lost". don't miss it!
Chet's addiction was his illness, like Chopin had TB. Aside from that, the consequences too heavy to bear, to merit reflection.
You can see in Chet's face. The years , addiction, music . ECT
Frighteningly beautiful. RIP
a broken man
a man who has lived
an artist who will never die
If I believed in god I’d ask him to rest Chets soul.
I just hope he knew how much he was loved
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.
One of the best songs Elvis Costello has ever written.
One of the best songs of the 20th century
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?
@@floogelhornzzz4770 Well, Chet's crystalline playing style inspired Elvis to write this song. Honor is due Costello for his composing skills, even if his own interpretation of the song was, ironically, inferior to Chet's.
But only Chet made this song unforgettable
Costello wrote it, this guy nailed it.
Extraordinary talent. "They just couldn't take that away from him"
who? heroin?
i watch this all the time and it never loses its power and the effect it has on me. utterly beautiful, one of my favourite performances.
Also mine.
Ben B Me too Ben, I often play this...if focus is needed....
Absolutely
This is for you, my son, always....love / dad
My dad introduced me to this sublime tune. He's gone now.
"Almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true
Always"
I cried.
nick victor Bless your big heart Nick....
You are not the only one brother
Everything in this man is special, touching. Every word is a story of his feelings.
My idol. Thank you for making me study jazz and being a jazz trumpeter. Much love. Eternally ♥️
I love this no matter how many times I view it.
100% feeling...
I´ve almost heard it all.
This is what MUSIC´s about......!
Esto es la definición de música, no lo que ponen en la radio ni la basura de los top en las listas 🎆
A man who knew how to truly express blues
Oh the blues , so beautiful, so deep within the depth of our souls we feel exactly what their singing. I love jazz but Chet was so rare a singer, even when he got older using drugs still had that thickness, that voce that you could cut like butter. whew soft & rich at once. he's is a wonderful remembered musician
I don’t know how anyone can call this man a bad singer
You can say his technique isn’t polished but it’s a great injustice to say that he is unskilled as a singer
He has a voice that communicates emotion in a way I haven’t heard any other come close
are people really saying that? damn
i love the way he sings
he sounded much better when he was younger his voice sounds alot more in his old age but he still sings quite well
This is perfect. Nobody could match this.
just crushed my heart agains his face lines of expresion

A beautiful encapsulation of the spirit Vanessa, thank you for posting....
Back in 2014. when I was in Amsterdam had a couple of hours for myself before the flight. I was walking through the city on that windy early spring day. When I got home it struck me that I forgot to visit Chet's plaque at the Hotel Prins Hendrik. Luckily two years after that I was back again. R.I.P. Chet
목소리에 깊이와 무게가 느껴진다.
쓸쓸한 죽음이었다고 알고있다.
그래서일까?
동시대도 아니지만 과거로 갈수만있다면 한 번쯤 만나보고싶다.
그의 삶을 따라가보고싶기도 하고.
Almost blue
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 thats 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
"Let's Get Lost" is a jazz standard with music written by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Frank Loesser. It's also the title of the documentary movie made about Baker's career, ending with his suicide in May of 1988, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
My heart always breaks with inches of melancholy creeping in, this beautiful song
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.
Music with heart & soul
not almost .. just perfect
This is just too good....
My fav tune by Chet long live Chet!!!
Cannes, 1987.
Imagine all the love mists of tenderness, that was Chet. He suffering with addiction he paid the ultimate price of of leaving this earth to the Cosmic consciousness, as many have. In reflection his spirt remains with us, moonlight washing waves of hope forevermore with his soul. Reverence, my love 💓 ❤️July 24, 2022.
Chet Baker. So kind.

Beautiful cheers chet
Really relaxing I like it
Thank you for the upload.
Amazing
...saw this film in real time..#truth
beautiful..........
Dios, hermoso.
My good lord, what a gut punch of a video. I have watched many great videos of him covering this great song, but... he is a walking skeleton. Yes, I know how it ended... but I had never seen it before. What a life...
the best
To think he had to ask the audience to be quiet...
cantabile
Indeed Cantabile.....indeed so....
Flirting with this disaster, became me...
2021 e eu aqui ! 💘
Spettacolare. Commovente.
Touching. I also love Elivis Costtelo's version. Both are incredible. nothing comes close.
Chet baker é um conceito, um estilo. Sem igual
Chet is obliged the barking stupid people to stay quiet during the song. That's the end of his career. That will brake my heart forever.
Think about it this way: He was gifted with musical genius; he developed a unique way of expressing it; he moved millions. On the whole, despite the horrific times, he came out way ahead.
You are both astute in your observations chaps....
Everyone deals with excitement in their own way, some are just listening some cant contain it. Calling someone stupid for it is really ironic considering you made a fool of yourself. Also he is just a musician, you are giving this guy way too much credit.
@@floter4661 Well, Chet definitely wasn't "just a musician". Pure genius, probably the best jazz musician of all time. Have some respect
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.
Written by Elvis Costello
He wrote it with Chet in mind
Maravilhoso!!!!
❤️ Chet
For me Chet Baker is the original "F&%K YOU Boy", I meant... he had everything at his hands reach... if he wanted to reach it... But he did not!!! as talented as many other of his generation, but unique... Sutil voice, More sutil trumpet. In the bad days he is my friend, in the good ones set my feet on this stupid planet. Great version of Elvis Costello´s sadest song ever.
Except heroine...
Subtle*
+Ethan Jones Lmao
Ethan Jones ehh spelling is for the dogs
Ethan Jones, "heroine" is a female hero; heroin is dope. I mean, you started the spelling bee...
Baker te amo🎵🎶❤
One could successfully adapt the lyrics of The Beatles " Yesterday" to this music.
This bad version is the best
wonderful... that's all
I lost many years of my life waiting this.... more than cigarettes, drugs and wine
🖤
This Elvis Costello song is the last one Chet Baker sang before he fell out of a window and died. It's an amazing way to for this master's life to end. Correct me if I am wrong. Teach me, teach me.
❤
❤️❤️
👍👏
와..진짜 개간지 잭베커👍
Eterno,eeuwig.........................................

Music to die to.....
