One More Weill - Lost in the Stars

Since y'all (save Val) blew off my post on Bilbao-Song and degenerated into a cultural exchange on the finer aspects of the Anvil...

I thought I'd give it another try with a Weill song in english by a contemporary performer.

I think the lyrics are by Maxwell Anderson. Cry the Beloved Country:

And this version by Elvis Costello is visually, tripping the light fantastic...

I order you to search for the version by the master, Tony Bennett.

I only got this is 10 second bites, so it was a bit hard to judge, but the visuals were like being on the Hubble telescope.

Love the quartet, but I could have done without the Elvis. LOL
