Last night, long after midnight, listening to the endless drone of the rain, chilled with a deeply penetrating melancholy......
...... I'm sipping my second cup of tea and sifting through old recordings of half-remembered songs. Trying to resurrect old memories - - perhaps trying to expunge recent ones.
I found this video which I made a few years ago. It's perfect for a rainy night.
Marlene Dietrich singing Bitte Geh Nicht Fort (Please Don't Go).
The song was written by Jacques Brel and was originally called Ne Me Quitte Pas (Don't Leave Me).
I posted this video on my blog about two years ago but thought it is worthy of posting again.
Blame it on my melancholic mood.
