it's wierd how jazz helps you get out of a depressed state but also guides you in your good times. this song in particular helped me a lot in my dark times, but I'm still listening now to it when I'm happy and it makes me feel even better.
Its probably because of the history and feel behind jazz. Jazz originated from the african american communities in the U.S and had its roots in blues which helped the slaves carry through the tough times and make them less sad and focus on music more back in the 1800's. Jazz is so unique and nice.
I remember a long time ago, I was just a freshman at the university. I came from a countryside town and knew nothing about this world. Then I met a girl in my university's campus, she was concentrating on a book. I think my heart stopped at the first sight. She was, I don't know, cold outside but inside she was actually a kind person. A lot of boys chased her and sent her so many letters n gifts. But her answer was always 'no', she always sent them a letter back to apologize and after that she wouldn't meet them anymore. Honestly, at some points I thought she didn't like boy.... We made friends and had good time spending our youth together, yup, we were just friends. I somehow liked her but I kept it as a secret, I'm afraid that if I had told her everything, we couldn't have been friends anymore. Time after time, we fell apart, I graduated, so did her and we lost our contact. A couple years ago, I met her in coincidence, she was working for a bank or sth and about to marry. The man she chose wasn't special at all, they were working at the same place. She had gone through a few relationship but ended up with the most normal guy. It makes me think, sometimes, the love of someone's life is just somebody who can make her/him feel safe and peaceful. I'm happy for her, finally she found somebody whom she wants to spend the rest of her life with. She doesn't know about Chet Baker or anything like that, the song just reminds me of her, so good to share things here with strangers.
I meet a new person and I fall in love. Sometimes platonically, sometimes romantically. Regardless, it wears me out. I exert such effort trying to keep it up and it rarely works out.
I played this song for my mom last night. She’s days away from passing away but I wanted her to hear this beautiful song before that time comes. She smiled. Love you mom❤
I understand. My dad passed away a few weeks ago. I played the Piano Man song to him before he passed and he clenched my hand. Very tough even now. RIP dad ❤
This song sounds like my life. From a teenager, to adult I always fell quickly in love. It took me years to be able to take it slow and just let things happen. I matured and realized I had alot to offer and I shouldn't be so desperate to be loved. I At the age of 31 I did just that . Met the love of my life that lasted for 40 years until they passed in 2017. You find love when you're NOT looking for it !
I hope you had the best life, with the ONE, im 20 now and I think ill keep on falling in love for a while now. but I aspire to be like you. and people like you.
How do I stop falling in love so easily? How does one control his heart? I feel like I’m pretty much aware of everything, yet I can’t escape the cycle. I’m only a kid so puberty makes this near impossible.. however, I’ve never let that stop me
@@jazzcrusader3062 I'm a feeling person but for me it helped to look at everything from a realistic perspective whenever I started getting feelings plus I'm way to lazy for all the stress that I would cause.
@@jazzcrusader3062 "how does one control his heart", that question hits home, been asking myself that a lot recently too. It's especially hard to be able to see what's going on both in front of you and within you yet feel unable to actually change it; and that sense of a loss of control sucks even more. Keeping busy will likely help, and reminding yourself when your heart is going wild that it will pass sooner or later. It may not feel like it at times, but your heart is your friend. Best of luck to you, Jazz Crusader.
The first time I heard this song was from my bestfriend. We sat quiet in her room and I watched as she sunk into every lyric. She is the most beautiful person I’ve ever met. Even after being crushed so many times by people who don’t deserve her, she falls yet again even harder for the next. She is now in a relationship with a boy who treats her like she’s the moon and the stars. I wish nothing but for her to stay here forever.
I fell in love with a girl in my class a year ago, she's the most beautiful girl I've seen to date, so kind, so smiling... A few months ago I was able to speak with her daily since I seat behind her in class, every talk is a blessing. I remember two really good talks we had, one was in music class. In that class the teacher asked us to do silly things, we refused and stayed talking for a solid hour like two introverts on a discotheque. I enjoyed every single moment about that conversation, so sweet, so enjoyable, we both were smiling at each other constantly. I thought this was perfect, we were made for each other. Since then we started talking daily, I was falling stronger every time. I was the happiest man on the world, but I was worried since I had to declare my feelings to her and I didn't know how or when to do it. One day I started feeling confident about myself, thinking that I could do it, and I had sure that in a day or few I could declare myself. That same day, suddently she said to me "it's not necessary for you to continue, I'm lesbian". On that moment everything fell apart, my heart started pounding, I was a broken man. I tried to pretend that I wasn't broken for the rest of the day. Then I arrived home and listened to Chet looking nowhere, thinking about how it could have ended in the best of the ways. At least I'm glad that we had that conversation, I will never forget it.
I close my eyes, and i see it, as clear as it was. The smell of cigar smoke lingers in the air. Clinks of glasses, accompanied by the laughter of the crowd. And above it all, the singer sang. Slowly, painfully, and beautifully sang.
@@randomman4628 The remark came from my left. I glanced at the man - a new face. He was sporting a black three-piece. His akubra hat obscured most of his face, only showing a crooked smirk and a three-day beard. Got a pretty keen eye for him to read my notepad. Or maybe he's ust a very, very curious man. " Who are you, the spanish inquisiton? " I asked. His smirk grew wider. " Nobody, " he drawled, while nursing his martini. " Just a random... Fan, if you will. Of him. " He pointed at the singer onstage. A grin grew on my face. " Nice taste." I extended my hand. " You can call me Id." He grabbed and shaked my hand, his grin now almost touching his ears. " Call me Just. "
Hah, this song is a standard written in 1944 by Jule Styne, lyrics by the legendary lyricist Sammy Cahn. Musicians such as Chet usually sing and play these standards and then proceed to improvise on the spot over the chords. By any means it should show that people might have a slanted view of what lyrics actually were like back then
His crystal clear delivery is amazing. He uses vibrato sparingly, which the original uses at length, yet he can hold those notes with precision. His phrasing, or way he sings, adds a much needed depth to what the original's Rat Pack sound lacks. "My heart should be well schooled" is said in such a way that you can tell it's been a hard lesson. The song is such a desperate plea, yet we are hopeful for him to find it, just like we are for ourselves. Trumpet players breath control is next level for reeaaall.
Bro, exactly. Just because of this moment i cant stop smoking Every sunset with red color, make me want to smoking and listen this type of smooth music
My mom who was the smartest person on earth introduced me to Chet Baker. I thought I was the only 60's child that knew of him. Then one day my friend and I went to her brother's house in Calif and he was listening to Chet! I said "you like Chet Baker??" He said oh yeah! Mike Conley- RIP my friend.
I fell for a girl named Mia. Short hair, radiant smile, and an unusual sense of pure optimism. Took me two weeks to fall way too hard way too fast. We would talk every day for hours on end. It was the only time I've ever been that vulnerable and open with someone. Went on two dates, the second being the last. We just stopped talking after that and for a long time the question "What did I do wrong?" kept permeating the back of my mind. It was the first time I actually cried myself to sleep. A year has gone by and we met again briefly. She just apologized saying she wasn't in the right state of mind at the time. I smiled and did the polite thing and said "it's okay" then left. You know you've got it bad when you're looking at them and they're looking forward, just not at you. I know I'll get over it eventually and I'll probably fall again. But for know I just feel like shit, just wish it wasn't so slow for the pain to fade away. (Update): Omg thanks for all the likes, didn't expect my story to resonate with so many. Lol I still remember when the comment section was just like a virtual bar of us sharing our sob stories. For y'all wondering, I'm in a much better place now than when I last wrote the comment. I have no resentments nor regrets for what happened. She didn't owe me anything and I think it was for the best that we stayed apart. I learned what it's like to truly be alone and realized that it's actually pretty nice. So for those who like my story and who are going through it rn I just want to let you know that it's okay to feel sad when it doesn't turn out the way you want to. Healing won't be linear, there'll be days where you'll be fine and days where all that pain will come again. But ultimately, it'll shape you into a much more iridescent person of you allow yourself to. And you'll be fine enough to take a chance on not only yourself but in other people as well. It sounds corny, but that's what the truth usually is in my experience. Hope y'all have a good one 👍
Erin Montoya that’s life I guess things just come and go but with every down there will be an up so just keep your head up you’ll be fine hope you stop feeling like crap.
I dont know why but I love Jazz so much, it helps me to get out of my deepest problems. I swear I love this song its so beautiful I could fall asleep because his voice.
I just met that girl a few months ago. I didn’t even noticed her at first, we just hung out and had a cigarette together sometimes, chatting and chilling, but nothing special really. Then at some point, at a party, we started to make random flirting jokes to each other, and it lasted a few weeks, until one night we said fuck it, let’s have a go at it and have some fun, just to see... and boy that’s where it got special... It was not just about how the sex was, it was the whole thing. We knew it the second we kissed, it was as if we had been together for years, as if we really knew each other. There was that instinctual trust between us from the first second, we opened to one another like we gave each other the keys to our souls, as if we could abandon ourselves to the other. The way everything just seemed to click, the way our bodies were just dancing and fusing together was amazingly weird... There was just that “special thing” between us that we never couldn’t really explain or put words on. But anyways. She was just coming out of a very long relationship with a nasty breakup, and had always been clear, even before we started to date, that she was not interested in another relationship. So I knew it from the start. We kept on going for a month or so and that “special thing” became very intense very quickly, so much that at some point, what was supposed to happen, happened, and I started to feel I was falling for her... I knew she still didn’t want a relationship, that she still wanted to see me, but I knew it was just a disaster waiting to happen... I saw it to many times before, I could already tell she would break my heart at some point, and I knew she would never want to do that so if I just admitted my feelings, she would have left not to hurt me, that I’m sure of. So I tried to hide my feelings from her for a while, but I found myself constantly trying to read into her in order to see how she felt about me, and I felt like I was playing a game, pretending I felt a way I didn’t, I wasn’t really myself with her anymore and that “special thing” of ours seemed to fade because of it. So a few days ago, as a shit storm of life problems hit me all at once, I felt like I needed to clear my head of all the things bothering me to make some space, and it needed to go asap... so I saw her that other night, and basically told her “we need to talk, I’m in love with you, therefore I’m leaving”... (the conversation lasted longer, but it’s basically what it came down to) She was surprised, she said she understood what I was saying even tho she would have liked to see me a bit longer, but she respected my decision... and we went our own ways... I still wonder why I did this, and in this way. I feel like I’ve lost something very rare and precious, a weird connection with someone like I’ve almost never felt from the get go with anyone else. I feel like it’s such a waste... A few years ago I would have stuck around until my heart got broke, but this time I just said fuck it, let’s rip that bandaid off and get it over with... but it still hurts af tho... which is why I’m here right now...
i’ve been coming back to this video for years, it’s interesting to see what brings people here over time. i think that any way you get here, at least you get here.
In this moment, I'm in Nagano (Japan) far from home, smoking a cigarette in one of the coldest night I've ever experienced, and I've just noticed that jazz (specially Chet's music) and cigarettes are the only things that will be always with me! Thanks Jazz, for being my most loyalty friend!
@@zenues Men, enjoy the fact you are far from home. You'll learn a lot about yourself and your country in this kind of moments! I hope you can enjoy Japan and the loneliness! I did it and it was really teaching!
This song makes me feel like: In the clouds, a freshly bloomed rose twirling in my hand. I look down as a love story unfolds before me. A love story I always wished a could have.
I find that Chet's songs instill one of two things most of the time: comfort or release of sadness and stress. If one is already in the mindset that they just want to cry, and they seek his music, they will find just what they are looking for. If one comes in with just the thought of enjoying the music for what it is, I believe it can be quite comforting in a way. Not to say that either way of looking at things is better; both are equally as big a part of the music as the other in my opinion.
Lyrics: I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last My heart should be well-schooled 'Cause I've been fooled in the past But still I fall in love so easily I fall in love too fast My heart should be well-schooled 'Cause I've been fooled in the past But still I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast
This reminds me of when I was very little, and my mom and I used to go to our local theater’s café, and gaze at the marble staircases and the fancy people walking about. This is the kind of music that they used to play in the background. Good times.
When this hits *just* right, it makes me feel an emotion I can't convey with words alone. But other times, when I feel like sleeping a century, this song helps me sleep quicker. It's the versatility and beauty of this song that makes me come back.
Everyone told me to be relieved we never kissed, but honestly I wish I could have just one kiss from you. Man, at least another embrace. I love you, man.
He danced with me at 1 in the morning in the living room. The room was lit up with this star projector he got me and the tv screen. We danced so slow and sweetly and I wanted to cry, I was so happy. I adore him. He's the most beautiful boy, and I hope for many more nights of leaning my head on his shoulder and swaying in the night to this song. He has my heart entirely.
This song honestly makes me wanna set in a dark neon lit bar or diner while drinking a cup of steaming black coffee while a soft trail of smoke floats around me from a man at another booth gently takings drags and knocking the ash in to an ashtray
this song makes me want to sit in a old antique bar alone at 1am at a table for two with no one in front of me as i lean back against the old chair i’m sitting on while i ponder about love while slowly taking small sips of my wine
Chet had a very rare recording of "If I Only Had A Brain" that I've been looking for, for a long time. It's GREAT!!! I've often imagined Chet dressed up as the Scare Crow, holding his trumpet and hanging out in a corn field with big black crows all about him in awe.
Hooked up with a girl for 6 months, caught the feels. It didn't work out, and here I find myself listening to a lot more of Chet Baker recently, and this song captures my soul.
idk why but chet bakers vocals sound so modern- like i fr thought someone from this day and age sung this song bc they way he sang this was pretty different from how people used to sing at his time.
I'm pretty sure Chet was a time traveler from our time because he looks and sounds like all the guys on Tik Tok and Netflix shows middle school girls fall in love with nowadays. Maybe a little more jazzy than we're used to, but hey, he's gotta fit in.
There's this popular saying about him in the jazz community from his era. "While everyone was trying to be Miles. Chet was just being Chet". This is a great explanation of why Chet's style (instrumental and vocal) was so non-conforming of the era.
I met a girl, this sweet, with a southern drawl, and the most incredible smile. and personality to match, but she lives across the country from me, and before i realized it as she told me tonight, how impossible it is.....i fall in love too easily...i fall in love too fast....i fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
Most songs about pining/unrequited love draw out the ache, but this one soothes. It’s a nod from a stranger walking by, the two of you briefly catching eyes after seeing the same thing..
I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last My heart should be well-schooled Cause I've been fooled in the past But still I fall in love so easily I fall in love too fast (Instrumental) My heart should be well-schooled Cause I've been fooled in the past But still I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast
I still remember her smile man. She was smart, cute, and sweet. We had been talking and seeing each other on and off for the past 5 months. She always said she wanted to be just friends. We got pretty close, she would share her deepest emotions with me and I would tell her that I had feelings for her. She would tell me I was handsome and that I was the most intellegent and sweetest guy she ever met. I should of cut it off from the begining. I fell in love with her. The thought of her got me through the day. It turns out she had been seeing some guy from tinder the past 2 months and I completly broke down. I couldn't eat or sleep for a whole day. I cried for the first time since my grandfather died. It felt like I was stabbed over and over again. We got into a massive fight. A few days later I mustered the courage to do the right thing. I said I was sorry and I wished that she would genuianly find happieness one day (she's not happy in her current relationship but dosen't want me) and tried to move on. I still think about her sometimes. I have a hard time with understanding emotional feelings and connecting on a level like that. I just thought I finally found the right one. We're gonna make it fellas ;_;
@@someoneontheinternet7027 Ah shit. Yea I was down bad, thanks king. Can't say I'm where I want to be but I am better. Tbh I was thinking abouy giving up on girls all togeather, I really don't want to be in the spot I was 3 months ago again heh.
@@hotandsillycinnamonrollget6697 well whatever happens, happens. Don't worry too much, you'll never get out alive. Btw its been some time since someone called me king. Thanks for that bruv
I am in love with my best friend, and he is also in love with me, skn however we decided to wait the indicated time, our parents do not know it and they do not want another love drama but my heart beats very hard every time he talks to me and my ears and cheeks heat up quickly, I find it hard to breathe, I can't resist when he asks me to talk more time on the phone until dawn. I can't control how I feel about him, I no longer know who to share this with, thanks to whoever reads it
I completely understand. It’s a bit more complicated on my end, but my best friend and I are also in love with each other and unable to move forward with the relationship the way we want to at the time. Good luck to you and I hope waiting it out makes your love more than worth it!
I'm going through the same as you guys, and I know it's been a while since you wrote this but still wanted to ask, how is it going? I wish you guys the best in life 💕
I am Also in love with my best friend forever. No one else understands me like he does but I don't know If he likes me back. I told him I liked him once accidentally, I was drunk but it was all cool , I cried cause he said he wasn't interested at the time but since then we're so close now that he only talks to a few people. I was planning on telling him when I'd see him in a few weeks but I'm too scared too ,I know we might be able to salvage our friendship like before but this time I genuinely love him , not just because he's good looking or whatever like the first time I liked him. I told him a bunch of stuff that happened which I never told to anyone because I was scared to , and he Is the only one who makes me feel better . I really don't know what to do but I wish you the best of luck homie 🧡 I hope it turns out good for you in the end :3

@@Horzinicla You're probably right. But, there is no one woman for me. I tried to, but can't feel it. I wish i could feel love. Thanks for the advice. Have a great day.
I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last My heart should be well-schooled 'Cause I been fooled in the past But still I fall in love so easily I fall in love too fast... I fall in love terribly hard with this song.
Eu me apaixono muito facilmente Eu me apaixono muito rápido Eu também me apaixono muito terrivelmente difícil Por amor para sempre Meu coração deve ser bem educado Porque eu fui enganado no passado Mas ainda me apaixono tão facilmente Eu me apaixono muito rápido ...

Otherworldly I had 56 CD,s by Chet more than any. Other artist I truly hope he finds 👍🙂 ✌️ he touched so many people.look at how many positive comments are on these classics thousands.thanks JVG🐈❤️👋🕊️😃🎯
a little street in Paris, rain falling lightly, locals' warm lights in the evening. this song, passing by a little cafeteria. me and my man, us together in the rain. his arm around my waist, nothing but this music in the rain, and our love. this is what this song makes me imagine.
Here's mine In a bar feeling rejected, listening this song from the radio humming along with the music as if this happened before, as i take a few sips of liquor i calming sighed and payed the waiter the payment of the drinks with a tip too, as i get in my car i drive by a beach looking at the claiming waters. I stared and and went home lay down and wait till day, soon I'll be some where calm breezy a place called heaven as i close my heavily eyes shut i slept
I just noticed this song is at the background in Civil War, when Vision is talking with Wanda, right after the persecution of Bucky, Captain America and Black Panther. I never thought I would hear such a beautiful song in a Marvel movie lol
Right now I am in a room in the Prins Hendrik hotel in Amsterdam, the same hotel where he passed away in 1988, listening to his music on my phone. What a unique experience. I knew he was jazz legend by name , but I never heard his music. Now I have, and I am a happy man. A happy man in Amsterdam.
You know,I once had a crush on this girl in school and I was really infatuated with her for quite a while but since the covid thing happened,of course I didn't see her for a long while and stopped having a crush on her and actually stopped being an introvert and became more confident in that time But ever since we came back to school,she was always inadvertently touching me,staring at me in class and smiling at me for no reason. I kinda doubted she had a crush on me but started to become infatuated again. However,I learned that she was doing all that for show and just to get my homework since I was a topper,and it was such a blow to me.I'm still 14 and it's silly to make stuff like this hurt me,but it still sucks I'm sorry for making this too long,I doubt many will read this but I just wanted to let my feelings out by writing this
@@MutiaraAden Alright bro anyways a lot's happened since I wrote that and I've learnt valuable lessons about infatuation but she's trying to come back to me again(I think?) And I just pay no attention
I love stoner rock, metal , classic rock, blues ,soul etc...... but then there's this. Unbeatable and priceless, timeless . Don't lock yourself into any particular genre, you'll miss out 🎶 🎶🎶
I'm so happy to see that this type of music is getting more popular. But at the same time I'm conflicted because I know it's going to be filled with "le army lel" comments. And "who was sent here by X youtuber/thing/person" comments. But at least it's getting the recognition it deserves. This song is a masterpiece.
Steve intentionallyleftblank I feel the same way. Wish it didn't take Fallout or whatever to expose people to more sophisticated forms of music such as jazz.
Does it matter what brought them here? I once read a comment in a Chopin - Ballade No. 1 recording and someone posted a whole paragraph about how people who came here because of some anime comic, shouldnt share their thoughts on it, because they dont understand the music and they listen to the music because of the wrong reasons. He was just some pretentious asshole. Thats not what music is about. Actually its awesome that RU-vid XY got them here, because that means a) he chose the right music in the right moment, because people need an emotional connection to something, to really like something and b) he inspired other people to widen their horzions when they were typing this music into the search bar. :)
I used to listen to this song a lot when I was younger. Today, I fell in love, and just thought I'd google "I fall in love too easily" just to find some advice on the internet. I guess I did... Thank you Chet.
i don't have any of these intricate stories of this perfect girl that i fell hard for but it doesn't work out for whatever reason, and yet reading all of the comments i just resonate. not with the stories, but with the feelings. the emotions. i understand.
I love how the piano solo sounds like naivete: it's extremely major, with swift passages that sound out of place in the calm backdrop of the band. It's extremely clever and expressive, and was so good, that it made me cringe thinking of my own past mistakes, hah..
Chet's music creates that feeling that the Italian romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi described in his theory of the "vague and indefinite": happiness is found by either reminiscing about the bitter of the past or in the hope for a better future.
Cheers to the people who were brave enough to ask someone they loved. Im a socially awkward person and cant express my feelings around people. I mostly keep my personality around them as stoic as possible. There is a time when this girl came to my life, we were classmates before and met her again at our class reunion. She is kind and sweet. She talked to me with different kind of stuffs but in the end that's the way she acts around others. I fell in love with her kindness but i know that she is just a kind person. I had wish to make a move but we were only been in touch recently and me being a socially awkward person i dont even know how to start something. At the end of the day, it was my fault to perceive kindness as an affection. The feeling was nice at first but in the end it still hurts.
