You know who you are but not what you are to me [Part 2]

Dedicated to my father.

Yesterday I was drowning my sorrows at JB Hi-Fi. Trying to limit my purchases to just two CD's (an album and a single), I decided on Kelly Clarkson's 'Because Of You' single, which she finally decided for commercial release, and Diana Krall's album 'Live In Paris'. During my decision making process, I recalled as to why I hadn't bought the 'Live In Paris' album when it was first released. After watching the concert DVD countless times at home with my father, and then admittedly, on my own, I had fallen in love with her performance of 'Besame Mucho' and to my dismay, she had neglected to inlcude it on the live CD. Hateful.

We've been playing Diana at work all week. We were flat out on Sunday and a customer who was purchasing a suit from me, remarked on how the day before, he had attempted to shop from our South Yarra store, only being shunned away by the intimidating and annoying club music blaring with the busy atmosphere. He and his partner remarked on how nice it was to hear some relaxing music, and even though the store was busy, the atmosphere was incredible. Tear.

Looking down the playlist of included songs on the 'Live In Paris' CD, I noticed Track 11 'A Case Of You'. I didn't really recall this from the DVD, and thought it would be interesting to see if it was a cover of the Joni Mitchell original (refer to 'You know who you are but not what you are to me').

I placed it in the CD player at work and skipped to Track 11. Buy the CD. Listen to it. I have to say that after two days of non-stop playing, it was become one of my favourite tracks ever. It's pure beauty. Emotive, balanced, tranquil, the song has taken my love for Diana to nowhere it has ever been before. I love her.
