A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's faded swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow that this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange, how sweet, to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

These Foolish Things
Benny Goodman
(Marvell/Strachey/Link)
(Brian Ferry, 1973)
oh will you never let me be
oh will you never set me free
the ties that bound us
are still around us
there's no escape that I can see
and still those little things remain
that bring me happiness or pain
a cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces
an airline ticket to romantic places
and still my heart has wings
these foolish things
remind me of you
a tinkling piano in the next apartment
those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
a fairgrounds painted swings
these foolish things
remind me of you
you came
you saw
you conquered me
when you did that to me I somehow knew that this had to be
the winds of March that make my heart a dancer
a telephone that rings but who's to answer
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you
gardenia perfume lingering on a pillow
wild strawberries only 7 francs a kilo
and still my heart has wings
these foolish things
remind me of you
I know
that this
was bound to be
these things have haunted me for you=B9ve entirely enchanted me
the sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
silk stockings thrown aside and sin-vitations
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you
the smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
the waiters whistling as the last bar closes
the song that Crosby sings
these foolish things
remind me of you
how strange
how sweet
to find you still
these things are dear to me that seem to bring you so near to me
the scent of smoking leaves the wail of steamers
two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you
just you
Benny Goodman (1909-1986) è stato un clarinettista, compositore e bandleader statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del jazz moderno. Nato a Chicago da una famiglia ebrea, Goodman iniziò a suonare il clarinetto all'età di sette anni. Dopo aver suonato in diverse orchestre locali, nel 1934 formò la sua famosa orchestra, che divenne rapidamente un punto di riferimento per il jazz swing. Goodman fu uno dei primi artisti a portare il jazz al grande pubblico, grazie ai suoi concerti sold-out e alle sue registrazioni popolari. La sua musica era caratterizzata da una combinazione di swing ritmico, melodie orecchiabili e improvvisazioni virtuosistiche. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Goodman ci sono "Sing, Sing, Sing", "Let's Dance" e "Stompin' at the Savoy". La sua orchestra fu composta da alcuni dei migliori musicisti jazz dell'epoca, tra cui Teddy Wilson, Lionel Hampton e Gene Krupa. Goodman contribuì a diffondere il jazz in tutto il mondo, con tour in Europa e Asia. La sua influenza sul jazz è stata enorme, ispirando generazioni di musicisti.
