Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a rare mood I'm in!
Why, it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

This is Red at his best. I first heard this album back in 1988 and have loved it since.

Vastly underrated and undervalued. One my favorite pianist. Red's contribution to jazz is highly important.

Mr. P.C. (Paul Chambers) What a bass player. Died so young.
