Johnny Mercer citáty

Johnny Mercer byl americký textař. Narodil se v Savannah ve státě Georgie jako syn právníka a jeho sekretářky. Byl převážně textařem, ale některé své písně také zpíval a k některým složil hudbu. Jeho písně však nahrávali převážně jiní umělci, mezi které patří například Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Eric Clapton, Glenn Miller, Roy Orbison, ale také Iggy Pop. V roce 1942 založil hudební vydavatelství Capitol Records a roku 1969 byl jedním ze zakladatelů Songwriters Hall of Fame. Osmnáctkrát byl nominován na Oscara za nejlepší filmovou píseň, přičemž čtyřikrát ocenění získal. Wikipedia

“From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night.”

Song "I Remember You" (1941)

“Skylark,
Have you seen a valley green with Spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying,
Over the shadows in the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight,
Haven't you heard the music in the night,
Wonderful music,
Faint as a will-o-the-wisp,
Crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.”

Song "Skylark" (1942)

“There's a long goodbye,
and it happens every day,
when a passerby
invites your eye
to come away.
Even as you smile a quick hello
you let her go,
you let the moment fly…
Too late you turn your head,
you know you've said
the Long Goodbye.”

You met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody”

Lead us lest too far we wander.
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder.”
