The Stan Getz Quartet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way

Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here





Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Stan Getz Quartet's song "Here's That Rainy Day" suggest a theme of regret, nostalgia, and the unpredictable nature of life. The opening lines, "Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams", speak to the idea of missed opportunities and regret for not making the most of one's dreams. The lines that follow, "Here's that rainy day they told me about / And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way", suggest that even when faced with the reality of one's dreams not coming to fruition, one can still find humor in the irony of the situation.


The subsequent stanza speaks to the idea of lost love, with the lines "Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside / After it brought my lover near". The concept of a "worn out wish" that once brought joy but has now been discarded speaks to the idea of nostalgia and longing for what has been lost. The repeated lines "Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day / Funny that rainy day is here" reinforces the idea that life can be unpredictable and that one can never know what might happen in the future.


Overall, "Here's That Rainy Day" is a song that speaks to the complex nature of human emotions and the challenges of navigating life's many twists and turns.

This take was in a restaurant juke box back in the early sixties. I could play it three times for a quarter. Round the clock diner. Western and Armitage avenues. Chicago.

가끔은 공부가 싫고, 짧지만 내 전부인 삶이 지칠 때가 있다. 아직은 고등학생의 신분이라는 쇠사슬이 내 발목을 붙잡지만, 아름다운 경관을 즐기며 한 잔의 와인을 걸치고 자유롭게 살아갈 나를 위해 지금 이 순간도 나는 열심히 살아간다.

@rhrhtnsmd6944

내일이 벌써 개학이다. 아직 많이 살지는 않았지만, 가끔은 지겹고 비행을 많이 하고 싶을 때가 있다. 그래도 참아야겠다. 나중에 행복하게 살아야지. 그러려면 지금 죽을 듯 해봐야 하고 ㅋㅋ

@user-ds3wf2nq8r

El mejor saxofonista del jazz en cuanto a sonido e ideas. Compàrese el sonido de Stan Getz con el de Coltrane. Lo siento por Coltrane, pero Getz tiene un timbre, una belleza, una elegancia natural y un swing que Coltrane no lo tuene, por muy modal, revolucionario y afro que éste sea. Cuestión de gustos, supongo. Pero quien sabe lo que es tocar un saxo puede reconocer, y ama la música, por supuesto.
