Speak Low : Peggy Lee..

Une certaine perfection

[@rainbow9007]

Few people can do this song justice. She just did. Thank you, Peggy.

[@janwar68]

Lovely artist! Paired with the genius of Kurt Weill……NOTHING on the planet is better! 👏💐

The film 'Phoenix' brought me here.

That makes two of us. Magnificent song! I've heard it somewhere sometime but had no clue who sang it.

[@champagnemls]

LOVEd it......She talked ( sang) in the past tense of love and she delivered the message. Wonderful

Phoenix was a great film and this song could not get out of my head. Beautiful.

[@because-strudels]

I've always loved Peggy Lee, but this one somehow evaded me for the better part of 15 years. So glad to find this gem at last; easily the best interpretation of this classic.

[@photo161]

Why compare? such a waste! The best, when it comes to the interpretation of a song, what does that mean?...Nothing. But truly a marvelous performance of a great song by a magnificent artist, Ms. Peggy Lee.

Billie Holliday , Sarah Vaughn . And there's a pretty cool version of Kurt Weill singing it himself .

It's good, but I think Sarah Vaughn tops them all.

Peggy brings in her interpretation so much feeling and longing.

[@cerealsly1723]

Saw this in Phoenix and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Beautiful

[@kristylrice]

Love the Phoenix movie, haunting, rich and real. Love Nina Hoss version of Speak Low at end of movie as well. Its rekindled my interest in Peggy Lee.

[@JosephRodrigues-jy7zc]

Peggy Lee is a true artist in every fiber of her being. I am sure she loved Mark Murphy 's rendition, another true artist. My favorite rendition is by Kurt singing the words of Ogden Nash to his own music and piano playing. Pure joy.

[@mikec6822]

It's impossible not to fall in love with Peggy Lee.....

[@tomknight5158]

I've just watch Phoenix myself, and came straight here. loved the film and this song.

Me too. A lovely haunting standard that passed me by until now. Excellent movie.

THIS is the voice for this song. Heard other arrangements, but this is it for me, and, of course, Kurt Weill performing his own music, as from the movie Phoenix.

Check out sarah Vaughn’s version. Incredible

[@karlruffing4237]

[@alankirkby465]

Just, just love it. Whoever reads this, Peace to you. My interpretation of Peggy's, voice is, Peggy, had sort of small voice, somehow allowed Peggy, interpretation meaningful of lyrics ( just saying) Anyway, Peace to all.

In those days they had a lot of feeling for those love songs , and that was beautifully song by Peggy Lee.and i say the people had more money in there pockets, WHY. they didn't have the debt they got today hanging over their heads.and this was in the 1960s, 30 years after the great depression and WW11.and today the Chinese got all the money in their pockets!

[@khussein6409]

Awesome!!

Peggy Lee could express such intimacy and meaning. (Could that be H. "Sweets Edison on trumpet?

[@bookshop]

Just want to say I've loved this song all my life, haven't (yet) seen Phoenix, so I guess Kurt Weill brought me here :)

[@luisfrodrimaz]

Habla bajo cuando hables, amor Speak low when you speak, love Nuestro día de verano se marchita demasiado pronto, demasiado pronto Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon Habla bajo cuando hables, amor Speak low when you speak, love Nuestro momento es rápido, como barcos a la deriva, somos barridos demasiado pronto Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we´re swept apart, too soon Habla bajo, cariño, habla bajo Speak low, darling, speak low El amor es una chispa, perdido en la oscuridad demasiado pronto, demasiado pronto Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon Siento donde quiera que vaya que mañana es I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is Cerca, el mañana está aquí y siempre es demasiado pronto Near, tomorrow is here and always too soon El tiempo es tan viejo y el amor tan breve Time is so old and love so brief El amor es oro puro y el tiempo un ladrón Love is pure gold and time a thief Llegamos tarde, cariño, llegamos tarde We´re late, darling, we´re late El telón desciende, todo termina demasiado pronto, demasiado pronto The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon Espero, cariño, espero I wait, darling, I wait Me hablarás en voz baja, me hablarás de amor y pronto Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon.

Tempo so slow it could almost fall apart - but doesn’t.

[@bronxboy47]

Agreed, John.

[@lg5399]

magnifique

[@oaman8937]

For me, it's the arrangement makes this great: Peggy's slow delivery, backed up by the lilting piano that just hovers, and last, but not least, filled in with the trumpet (muted?) taking you up and down with its notes. Very dramatic, even haunting. This version truly stands out from the rest. (And Peggy Lee isn't even my favorite vocalist, amongst those that have recorded this chestnut.)

[@UncleMike43]

Do you know who played behind her on this song ??

[@irenedelianuezgonzalvo2334]

[@etude83]

Is there anything more breathtakingly languid?

[@mahler58]

Sooo beautiful! I love Peggy, always. But while you are at it, try the version of Ute Lemper. The accompaniment (RIAS Berlin) is more contemporain (it was written in 1943 by Kurt Weill)

[@UncleMike43]

Kurt Weill composed the melody Ogden Nash wrote the lyrics.

I know, but I always fall for the music first...then the lyrics... :)

[@paulaalarconhidalgo9681]

was this song famous before Phoenix? hahaha (the film brought me here too)

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

It was a jazz piece that had its fans, but a lot of people that may have heard it here and there probably didn't *listen* to the song and realize how elegiac and painful it is. And of course, there are different versions of the song as well, done in different styles and tempos. So it means different things depending on who is singing and the arrangement.

[@stynway59]

It was written by Kurt Weill for a musical in the 40s. There are superb renditions by Billy Holiday, Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn, Julie London, Anita O'Day, Tony Bennett with Norah Jones..look around. It's one of Those Songs.

[@johnliddell7584]

... Also add Chris Connor ( 1956 )to that list .. I think you'l find it a favourite, and with an unexpected Latin beat !

[@RanBlakePiano]

John Liddell John. I think I’m her biggest fan .daring think to brag I recorded an album dedicated to her in Europe She also sings on Rapport,my lP from the eighties Please contact me on my web If you are nuts about chris So unsavvy on iPad

[@fuocofatuissimo]

Extraordinary, but check out Jane Morgan.

[@mahler58]

Find the original, sung by Weill himself. Soooo heartbreaking

[@mahler58]

Can anyone tell me the name of the trumpet player? Sounds a bit like Louis, but I' m not sure...

[@Michaur]

A beautiful performance of this piece, but this trumpet ruins everything.

[@richardlee8495]

pretty good, but Mary Martin is definitive on this uniquely beautiful song.

I basically hated Phoenix. The plot was so implausible and complicated, I was confused and annoyed the whole time . . . dat final scene do . . .

Peggy Lee's version is sublime. But my favorite "Speak Low" is a duet by Tony Bennett & Nora Jones.
