Dinah Washington, Drinking Again 1962

 ¡Cuántas canciones acaban con las penas en el vaso! Es casi un género musical en sí mismo. "Drinking Again" es un buen ejemplo en la voz de Dinah Washington. Es una composición de Johnny Mercer y Doris Tauber, grabada en 1962. Tiene unos buenos arreglos de Don Costa y nos trae ese clima noctámbulo de las penas ahogadas.  Sinatra la cantó, pero le faltó el convencimiento de Washington y le sobraban algunas cuerdas en los arreglos. ¡Disfrútalo!

Drinking Again (J. Mercer & D. Tauber)

Ooh, it's almost two

And I'm sitting here wishing that I could see you

That's why I'm drinking again

And thinking of when you loved me

I'm having a few, and wishing that you were here

I'm making the rounds, and buying the rounds, for strangers

Yes, I'm being a fool, just hoping that you'll appear

Sure I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a joke

But who's gonna laugh, who's gonna laugh at a broken heart

That's why its better, drinking again

And thinking of when you left

Me

Can't you see I'm trying to make it on home

And ain't got nothing but a memory

Maybe I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a joke

But, who's got the nerve, the nerve to laugh at my broken heart

That's why it's better drinking again

And thinking of when you left

Me

I'm trying to make it up to home

With just a memory

I know you heard me the first time

I said I'm trying to make it on home

And ain't got nothing, nothing but a memory
