Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Duke Ellington & Луи Армстронг Lyrics

The song Don't Get Around Much Anymore, originally titled Never No Lament, was written by Duke Ellington and Bob Russell in 1940. It was then recorded in the same year by The Duke Ellington Orchestra with lyrics by Bob Russell, and it became a hit. Over the years, there have been many covers done of the song, but the most notable one was by Louis Armstrong in 1961.

The lyrics of the song are about missing someone special and not being able to do the things you used to do together. The singer of the song has missed the Saturday dance, and though they visited the club, they couldn't bear it without their loved one. The song also talks about being invited on dates but not being interested in going because it's "awf'lly diff'rent without you." The singer's mind may be at ease, but they don't want to stir up memories of the past by going out and doing the things they used to enjoy.

The lyrics of the song are beautifully crafted, showing the melancholy feelings of missing someone and not being able to do the things that they once did. It's a relatable sentiment for many people, especially those who have experienced loss, heartbreak, or separation. The song's melody and rhythm evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia that resonates with anyone who's ever missed someone they loved.
