Krall

An amazingly versatile singer who even does justice to covers.

Your lips seduce

as your face expresses

the deep tones

and colours

of jazz.

I feel myself wilt

and yet rebirth

as the sound

fills my lungs

with you,

with your unique

and waxy voice.

Its silky, sultry notes

breathe life

back into my soul,

touches me in places

I have never been

touched.

Melts me into

warm ice flows,

into the purity

of your DNA.

And there I

would long to exist

simply to serve you!

[Siddhartha Chatterjee]

Such passion, this goes beyond the usual 'oomph'. It's passionately classy!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Once more I feel humbled by your kind reviews. Ms Krall is an amazing singer as his her husband, Elvis Costello. Thank you sir.

[R.E. Ray]

An incredible poem one can feel with her music. She is indeed one of those artist who’s larger than the musical notes and lyrics. You’ve captured a moment here, an admirer watching, listening and dreaming.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes not many strike as such. I have an eclectic tast and love many genres, Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Adelle, Annie Lennox, Julie London, Ella Fitzgerald etc. But this gal can just sing jazz! Even her covers are great. I can't stand Eagles 'knock offs' but she sings them amazingly. Many thanks R.E.

I absolutely LOVE this! I was just watching Sheryl Crow perform on DVD last evening & I was lusting after her guitar players long long legs in soft soft faded jeans. I was thinking -- would it be too weird to show how watching a musician's body is half of what I get off on, when I watch many different musicians perform? Now you've answered my question. Definitely not too weird. You've inspired me greatly. And I love Diana Krall, knew exactly who this was about when I saw the title! You did her justice in a multi-layered way! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I agree Margie. With some musicians there music makes you look more closely at them and like in the Carpenters song 'fall in love with them'. Many thanks.

I have heard of Ms. Krall . . . but can't say I've heard her. Nice peon to one of your favorite performers.

Just listened to the video . . . nice voice!

Indeed she has Tom. And so much so I even like her covers of some of my favourite artists. She is Elvis Costello's wife! Many thanks.

[Cherrie Palmer]

An electric expression fitting such an seductive song bird. Show casing her true essence.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Listening to her right now!
One of my favourites:

Thanks Cherrie.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Diana is a amazing and talented singer. Also so beautiful. Wonderful words for the song bird.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks Coyote John. Can never tire of her singing.

[Robert Trakofler]

Your depiction of her voice is perfect in yours. From the mild glancing intonations of her notes to your tone in this tome. The transference of your sentiment comes thru like a warm breeze on a cold night:) lovely write John

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Transference indeed sir. I would but lay with her lol! Many thanks BB

[Robert Trakofler]

that is the stuff of a grateful death

[Chris]

I agree and understand - completely. Dreamable...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

That voice! Thanks Chris.

[Markus Anthony]

Awww this expression of adoration is so admirable and superbly written. I can imagine LIVING in the moment as someone sings for me, and lures me into lifetime of servitude. -Markus

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Markus. if you haven't listened to Diana Krall please give her a try.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think sometimes i would rather make love to the sound of a singer, and imagining...than the real thing...
a song won't hurt us and we can replay it as often as we would like or need.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Listening to her sing 'The Look of Love' is just that Jacob. She has a remarkable voice. Many thanks.
