Album: Live
Genre: Jazz
Notes: It's been about 10 years since I was introduced to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I had a student who had learned I liked big bang music and told me I should check them out. He definitely wasn't wrong. There is part of me that when I listen to this song am not 100% sure who the "you" is in this. I can't decide if he's talking to someone or if the you is the drink in his hands. Either way, it definitely is a catchy tune.
G(r)in & Tonic
I drank away my sorrow
drown my dreams of tomorrow
focusing on you -- only you --
and what might be tonight
Pour me another
We click our glasses together
clear our minds of whether
there's more to us -- to this --
than what might be tonight
Just leave us the bottle
You steal away my troubles
stir an emotion that bubbles
around me -- surrounds me --
and what might be
You're my last drink of the night
Funny, I was thinking of having a G&T tonight. First time in many a year.
