  • Ah, the wonderful Lady Day! words of description are superfluous, one can only listen and marvel at the genius of this melancholy diva.

  • "Nothing seems to matter,

    Here's my heart on a silver platter."

  • This Billy and Gordon Jenkins collaboration rivals that of the Nat Cole/Jenkins collaboration on Stardust and When I Fall in Love. Pop music at its all time best.

  • A real fave...

  • When I wanted a really sensual song for one of my videos this is the one I went for. No-one else's version of this even comes close in my opinion. There are just a handful of singers who really emote when they sing, Billie Holiday, Michael Jackson, Luciano Pavarotti, Charles Aznavour and Edith Piaf, all sadly now gone.

  • I'm in love with this.

  • i love this song

  • they played this in criminal minds

  • I obsessed like this once. Never again. But it was really lovely at the time, to be intoxicated this way. But the aftermath was devestating.

  • I think Diana Krall's version is way better,just my opinion :)

  • @DevilishAngel595

    Diana, good as she is, could never hold a candle to Billie.  Just my opinion :)

  • Nobody can say it like Billie....sing it like Billie...emote it like Billie.

  • Searching for the Joni Mitchell version, which is fab, I came across this. Love it.

  • :) no one sings like billie.....

  • ha ha everyone is here for Watchmen! That's exactly why I came. I read the novel again and noticed it was in there. They should of use this in (a less revealing, goofy) sex scene in the watchmen film.

  • This song is perfect for the graphic novel scene.

  • Should be in fallout 3

  • Ahaha good lord I love Dan. Music selection = the bomb.

  • I knew that all the Watchmen fans would be here at this video!

  • So I'm reading through Watchmen for the first time and had to play this while reading the appropriate scene haha

    I love when Laurie accidentally hits the flamethrower again

  • Watchmen aswel1! Awesome.

  • it's so fitting for that particular scene in watchmen.... the owl ship hovering in the night sky over the city as there's a building burning nearby. zack snyder should pay good attention to this detail.

  • Go Watchmen! They better use this song in the movie! I can just picture the Owlship floating out of the smoke in slow-mo to this song.... awesome...

  • I was just reading watchmen... And that scene...

  • I've fallen in love with this song. She has such a beautiful voice.

  • They play this song at the end of chapter 7 of "Watchmen."

  • I was reading that yesterday and never heard the song so I came hear for a a quick listen

  • me too

  • hehe, same here.

  • me too!!!!

  • I desperately hope that they use this song in the movie during the tenement fire scene.

  • Same here :) great stuff

  • haha I was just reading it and wanted to hear it...

  • Haha, I'm reading that part while listening to this. Gotta love it.

  • This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

    It speaks of blind sexual obsession amd the hopelesness of love and loneliness.

    If you have ever wanted and loved so desperately. It's all here in Billie's voice and the haunting instrumental arrangement. Thank you for posting this.

  • I know, its a wonder that many people do not mention this song

  • @GypsyFairy69 hopelessness*

  • one of my fav by her

  • lovely song

  • I agree!
