| Smalls Bar, Bangkok |
Last Sunday evening I stumbled across a cozy new neighborhood bar whilst out walking around and exploring a neighborhood not far from my home. I liked the place immediately, went in, sat down and ordered dinner and enjoyed listening to the great jazz music they had playing in the background. Some songs I knew and others I did not but they were all great and just my taste. I fell for the place and thought how nice it would be to bring you here with me when you are back in August.
Listening to the music that evening reminded me that I had myself collected a lot of jazz music and albums on my old computer which I had not listened to in ages and so I came home and started to dig through my music library to rediscover them. I wound up creating a very big jazz playlist as a result which I have been listening to ever since. There are so many songs in this list that my computer tells me it would take 26 hours to hear them all, which is a lot if you think about it. And I have more to add still. When you are here it will be nice to listen to it together while we enjoy mornings in bed or over brunch while relaxing at home.
Just now I had it playing and heard a song called 'If I Should Lose You' by Nina Simone, one of my all-time favorite singers, and it made me think of you. Here are the lyrics and a recording of this sad but beautiful song. I hope you like it.
If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the skies
If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die
The birds in Maytime
They'd sing a mournful refrain
And I would wander around
Hating the sound of rain
With you beside me
No wind in winter would blow
With you beside me
A rose would bloom in the snow
I gave you my love
But I was living a dream
And living would seem in vain
If I lost you
