Well, let’s see, the last song on the first side of the record is Peggy Lee’s “Is That All There Is?” so it’s the perfect cue to get up.

I had this song on a 45' when I was a kid. It opened up something in me then because she is such a wonderful performer, and she sings so sadly with this deep melancholy and gravitas. It made me cry then and it makes me cry now. It gives me goosebumps, so chilling.

The first song I remember hearing Peggy Lee – ‘Is That All There Is?’ “I had some troubled years growing up and unfortunately my mother started drinking after my father left. She had a song by Peggy Lee that she played a lot, which completely highlighted the point of her life at that moment – “If that’s all there is / Let’s break out the booze…” If you listen to it, it’s such a slow, depressing spiral. I remember hating that song when I was young but I’ve since come to see it as an honest depiction of how my mother was feeling. It’s emotional still.”
