This music oddly seems even more relevant now. The nostalgia written in to the music paired with the nostalgia for times past just makes it so... potent.
I've watched this about seventeen times today. Considering the quality of this music, I think watching it seventeen times is healthy. Good for you, even.
@zaxapitsa5 The Notebook is the BEST love story ever. It was made into a movie based on the book The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. The main characters Noah and Allie are played by Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Every time I see that movie I want to cry because it makes me feel lonely...but the movie is CRAZY good.
Reminds me of a boy I used to know. A bittersweet ending of a summer romance, and while we ended on good terms we never speak anymore and I still see his smile behind the frames of his glasses when I least expect to see him. It makes my heart ache in a sweet sort of way.
@evilthesaurus Hey that movie that you are talking about is the Notebook. You don't have to be so negative. That can hurt people that really like the notebook like me.
The songs of today could never make one flat out melt like this. It just takes you to a whole other time.. it's just so classic and divine. There's nothing like it.

this song is before my time im 19 years old and i prefure most of the older music cause they have real meaning to there songs also this song makes me think of the girl i am in love with i pray to be with her one day
@bs4e True, true. But I'm just pointing out my observations. Haha :) Oh well at least SOME of the generation knows what TRUE talent is and not that RACK CITY nonsense.
@HotmessJess715 No, not all young people :) Even though I have seen The Notebook I don't recall this song being on the film. I just heard this song today on a music website and just simply fell in love with it. Not because it sounded familiar from the film but because this songs is just simply amazing that I had to look it up on here.
literally yt'd her out of nothing, and listened to this song, wow. im astonished, shes beyond amazing. take me back to the 50's for one day, and get rid of all this shitty autotune crap.
Ahh, those were the days with such great, gentle, and romantic songs. Back then, if you thought of your man as gay it certainly had a far different meaning. Great fireplace music.
This song will always remind me of my ex -b/f... I dedicated this song to him when we were together but in two different states b/c the song describes the summer we spent together almost to a T...
@SherriDodsworth Very true. It really does bring that to mind. My grandfather survived but he was never the same. I sometimes wonder if he ever truely came home. Some survivors never really return home, after all the horrors of war.
I love this music. Not cause I'm super smart, not cause I'm young enough for it to be hip, or cause I'm jaded enough to say this is better than any other genre, but because I love it and that's all.
So many have compared my favorite singer, Erykah Badu to Billie Holiday. I def hear the resemblance. I knew he she was before Erykah came out in'96-'97 and I'm sure I heard her in movies before. Just wanted to check her out again. Sarah Vaughn was also a beast. Ella still gets her props but it seems like Sarah was the underdog.
@MillicentDionne Sarah gets her props among Jazz musicians and hardcore Jazz fans, but she is not as well known outside of that core group, which is unfortunate. However she is a seminal figure in the the history of Jazz alongside Billie and Ella. She was the first major vocal stylist to come out of the Be-Bop movement, and was at the top of her game till the end. Her last album, 'Brazilian Romance', was a fitting way to cap five decades of incredible music.
@bolder2009 Thanks for the info. I'll check out Brazilian Romance. I saw a program about her a couple of years ago during Black History Month. I think it might've been on Biography. One reason they explained Ella was more well known was because she had the right people backing her.
@MillicentDionne Marilyn Monroe helped Ella to move from playing the smaller Jazz clubs to bigger venues. Another important person for Ella and a lot of Jazz artists' career was Norman Granz, who launched Jazz At The Philharmonic, to shine a spotlight on them. He was also a very close friend of Oscar Peterson and helped to establish him in America. Sarah didn't have the best management. Its true that you need good people. There was an interview she did for 'Down' Beat that touched on it.
@MillicentDionne "I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt. It was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the '50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn's superstar status - that the press would go wild." - Ella Fitzgerald
@MillicentDionne "The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn't know it." - Ella Fitzgerald
The way she sung touches...She had a voice filled with passion, warmth and beauty...An inner, deeper beauty....And her voice's colour is so different and gentle
I completely agree with beautybliss08 ! nothing can beat this music! and that time period... i wish i was born back then! i am 15 years of age! words can't describe how much i love this music... and how it makes me feel!
@DrUnnameds Billie Holiday was known as a jazz artist and a vocal stylist for the way she used her voice. She also did a lot of skatting, when you sing syllables but not words. Anita Baker and my fave singer, Erykah Badu also skat. I think it's fair to say Billie heavily influenced Erykah.
I love this song.. my grandmother recently passed away on 11/11/11 and this song reminds me of her so much, I know she used to play it and " i'll be seeing you" just reminds me that one day i'll see her again.
This music oddly seems even more relevant now. The nostalgia written in to the music paired with the nostalgia for times past just makes it so... potent.
