She began learning the piano at the age of four. In high school, she started playing in a small jazz group. At the age of fifteen, she started playing regularly in several Nanaimo restaurants. She also spent some time in Toronto studying with Canadian Jazz great, Don Thompson (Bass/Piano) and with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts she moved to the U.S to continue studies and develop her career.

Her playing attracted the attention of bass player Ray Brown, who brought her into touch with influential teachers and producers. At the age of seventeen, she won a scholarship from the Vancouver Jazz Festival to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After three terms she moved to Los Angeles to study with Jimmy Rowles, with whom she also began to sing. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York. She is married to British musician Elvis Costello.

Diana Krall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have a feeling, it's a feeling
I'm concealing, I don't know why
It's just a mental, sentimental alibi

But I adore you
So strong for you
Why go on stalling
I am falling

Our love is calling
Why be shy?

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it?

Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it

We might have an end for each other
To be or not to be
Let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love

We might have an end for each other
To be or not to be
Let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love

Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love

Overall Meaning

In "Let's Fall In Love," Diana Krall expresses her feelings of deep love for someone she is initially hesitant to express them to. She suggests that her hesitance may be just a mental or sentimental alibi, indicating that she might be afraid of rejection or committing herself too fully to the relationship. However, her love for this person is so strong that she cannot resist the urge to take the risk and fall in love.

Krall encourages her lover to abandon their doubts and fears, and follow their hearts in taking a chance on their love. She suggests that it is time to make their own paradise, and even though they may not fully understand what that paradise may be, they should try to create it together. She also points out that they may be meant to be together but cannot know for sure until they take the leap and let their hearts discover the true nature of their desires.

Overall, the song celebrates the joy and beauty of falling in love, the power of the heart to guide us towards our destiny, and the bravery required to take the risks necessary to create a fulfilling relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

I have a feeling, it's a feeling
I'm experiencing a sense of emotion that's hard to explain

I'm concealing, I don't know why
I'm hiding this feeling, even from myself, and I don't know why

It's just a mental, sentimental alibi
This feeling is an excuse I'm making up in my mind because I'm not sure how to act

But I adore you
Despite my uncertainty, I have great affection for you

So strong for you
My feelings for you are very intense

Why go on stalling
There's no need to delay or hesitate

I am falling
I'm falling in love with you

Our love is calling
Our connection is growing stronger and needs to be acknowledged

Why be shy?
Why hold back when there is so much potential for love?

Let's fall in love
Let's allow ourselves to take the chance on love

Why shouldn't we fall in love?
What's stopping us from following our hearts?

Our hearts are made of it
Love is a natural part of who we are

Let's take a chance
Let's be brave and see what happens

Why be afraid of it?
There's no need to fear something as beautiful as love

Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Let's forget the world around us and create a special place just for us

Little we know of it, still we can try
Even though we don't have all the answers, we should still pursue love

To make a go of it
Let's give it a shot

We might have an end for each other
Our relationship may end up being perfect for us

To be or not to be
We can either try and see what happens or never know what might have been

Let our hearts discover
Let's allow ourselves to follow our hearts and see where it leads us

Now is the time for it, while we are young
We should take advantage of this moment and explore love while we're still young

Let's fall in love
Let's take that leap and fall in love

Let's fall in love
Let's keep pushing forward and allow ourselves to keep falling

Let's fall in love
Let's keep falling in love with each other

Let's fall in love
Let's keep choosing each other and pursuing love

DIANA KRALL – Let's Face The Music And Dance
A propos what's playing right this minute on Siriusly Sinatra – my favorite rendition by Diana Krall of the most philosophical lyric ever included in the Great American Songbook – Dietz & Schwartz's LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE.
Google to be reminded it's from my favorite early 'orchestral' album of hers (see previous page 39). The first offering this day at YouTube is this one – an old (2005) music video I've never seen! Cinematography – very high quality, alas uncredited. This official version has 1,007,022 “views”.

A warm weather jazz samba, on a day here in the coldest major city in the world (minus 35 windchill and the start of another blizzard) and …. well, I needed this!. Thanks to channel 70's mind-reader programmer-extraordinaire 'Jersey Lou' Simon for brightening my day, warming my outlook -- again!

Thanks to Diana Krall for sharing. Celebrated elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "

LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE

There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill and while we still have the chance
Let's face the music and dance

Soon we'll be without the moon, humming a different tune and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance

Produced By Johnny Mandel
Written By Irving Berlin
Album WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES (1999)

Claim to fame... When Spanish Bay Inn ( Pebble Beach ) first opened and during the Jazz Festival, Ms Krall performed there. The cost was just having to order dinner. There were only 8 of us that turned up. She had the waiters move all our tables and seats around her and she played all requests ....she made what could have been a " bust' into a most memorable evening....

When I first heard Diana it was on a Sunday afternoon. Just doing some channel surfing and landed on the PBS Channel and saw this young lady performing and little did I know who she was at the time. The show took a commercial break and the announcer said, we'll return with Diana Krall Live @ Studio 54 in NYC. I was so captivated by her music, I watched the entire concert and once it was over, I remember seeing her CD, "When I Look Into Your Eyes" at K-Mart music department and noticed there was only one left and yes you best believe I bought it and took it home and couldn't wait to hear the rest of the CD & I was not disappointed. She's AMAZING!!!

I played this song for my wife as we were in a figurative rough patch at the time. She listened and laughed at "...there may be trouble ahead..." and that was all it took; we were back in each other's good graces and our little road trip that day went better than we could have hoped.

I have been a Diana Krall fan for decades. She is brilliant. But check out a song that she is not a part of, but will knock your socks off. It is Tony Bennett and Ana Carolina singing The Very Thought of You. It's on You Tude and one of his duet albums. But check out the video.
