Blue Moon
Oscar Peterson Lyrics
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Oscar Peterson (1925-2007) was a Canadian jazz pianist and composer.
Born in Montreal, Canada, Peterson began learning trumpet and piano from his father at the age of five, but by the age of seven, after a bout of tuberculosis, he concentrated on the piano. Some of the artists who influenced Peterson during the early years were Teddy Wilson, Nat "King" Cole, James P. Johnson, and the legendary Art Tatum, to whom many have tried to compare Peterson in later years. Read Full BioOscar Peterson (1925-2007) was a Canadian jazz pianist and composer.
Born in Montreal, Canada, Peterson began learning trumpet and piano from his father at the age of five, but by the age of seven, after a bout of tuberculosis, he concentrated on the piano. Some of the artists who influenced Peterson during the early years were Teddy Wilson, Nat "King" Cole, James P. Johnson, and the legendary Art Tatum, to whom many have tried to compare Peterson in later years. In fact, one of his first exposures to the musical talents of Art Tatum came early in his teen years when his father played an Art Tatum record to him and Peterson was so intimidated by what he heard that he didn't touch the piano for over a week.
He soon developed a reputation as a technically brilliant and melodically inventive jazz pianist, and became a regular on Canadian radio. His United States introduction was at Carnegie Hall, New York City in 1949 by Norman Granz; owing to union restrictions his appearance could not be billed.
Some of his musical associates have included Lester Young, Ray Brown, Ben Webster, Herb Ellis, Ed Thigpen, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Louis Armstrong, Stéphane Grappelli, Ella Fitzgerald, Clark Terry, Joe Pass, Count Basie, and Stan Getz. An important step in his career was joining impresario Norman Granz's labels (especially Verve records) and Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic package, with which he was able to play with the major jazz artists of the time. Granz was also his manager for most of Peterson's career. Some cognoscenti assert that Peterson's best recordings were made for the MPS label in the late 'sixties and early 'seventies. For some years subsequently he recorded for Granz's Pablo Records after the label was founded in 1973 and in more recent years for the Telarc label.
In 1993, Peterson suffered a serious stroke that weakened his left side and sidelined him for two years. However he overcame this setback and went back to touring, recording, and composing on a limited basis. In 1997 he received a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement and an International Jazz Hall of Fame Award. He died on December 24th, 2007 of kidney failure.

@Frank Chapparo on his first song I listened to ..I forgot the name but it's a girl in front of a yellow porche for the thumbnail. 5 seconds in I just said "this was taken from somewhere else because the production is top notch quality"
I asked for the sample and not a reply and he's read my comment because he's still posting videos.
I will start asking for the samples but it's sad that alot of guys in the Lofi community are toxic like this ....this is definitely the "truth about the Lofi genre"
It's just remixes of old songs that take 10 minutes to make....then don't tell the people listening where it's from.
That makes me angry.
Look up this song Broey Paradise that's a Lofi song which is just a watered down version of Eric Satie gymnopedia part 1
The original is just better

I've been listening to this on repeat for few hours. Dad said he felt like being at the airport.

"I felt like we had a secret, just the two of us. Like that thing where you just wanna be with one person all the time. You feel like the two of you get something no one else gets." - Irving Rosenfeld

I have this melting sensation in my soul every time I hit play. Feels like I'm escaping reality, a void where I can be myself and be worry free. Thank you so much for this Upload

I envision myself checking into an old hotel somewhere in south america. Throwing my suitcase on the bed. Approaching the window while the breeze blows colorful curtains past my face. And I smile knowing I have nowhere I need to be.
