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.

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.”

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.
