This song resonates with me deeply. This song says everything about my life.

I grew up listening to this on my father's album. He just passed away 3 weeks ago and I wanted to hear it one more time.

@bertola420 This is precisely why I was looking on youtube lol

This would be brilliant music to put along side war footage. Very Quintin Tarantino!

The song was inspired by the 1896 story Disillusionment (Enttäuschung) by Thomas Mann.

@bertola420 lol yeah!

To me it seems like an uplifting song overall... It's saying "Well, If that's all there is to life, then make the most of it, don't despair, instead- drink, dance, have a ball..."

@wevelostDon -- except, not this libretto, which was written in 1968, by other people.

she wanted to break out the booze when she was a little girl?
have not read all the posts so forgive if duplicated. This is Lieber and Stoller song . Peggy recorded an album of theirs under the title , I think, Reflections. The other tracks were equally beguiling and "strange". i borrowed it from my local library many years ago. The only other title I now recall was "Dr. Hautman's Performing Dogs". Been trying to get a copy for some time now but
suspect it is now a "collectors item"

@kyo4o3d The original album that this song comes from is titled " Is That All There Is? " , from 1969 . It's still available on CD . The album you refer to is from 1976 , called " Mirrors " . It consists of songs by Leiber and Stoller , but not this one . Last year , " Mirrors " was digitally enhanced , and produced to include " Is that all there is" , and Peggys other Leiber and Stoller hits . This album is titled " Peggy Lee Sings Leiber and Stoller" . Well worth getting!
