Would i wander through this wonderland alone, but it s just want i want you to do Misty, i don t know
and i feel like i m clinging to a cloud
Would i wander through this wonderland alone, i get misty just holding your hand Misty, i m too misty and too much in love
Walk my way and a thousand violins begin to play, would i wander through this wonderland alone
i get misty just holding your hand
But it s just want i want you to do, but it s just what i want you to do, that music i hear
You can say that you re leading me on, would i wander through this wonderland alone
What a feeling, what a feeling, i get misty just holding your hand
What a feeling, my hat from my glove, i get misty the moment you re near
But it s just want i want you to do, would i wander through this wonderland alone
my hat from my glove
my hat from my glove
What a feeling, you can say that you re leading me on
don t you notice how hopelessly i m lost
i m too misty
I don t know, what a feeling
my hat from my glove
Thats why i m following you, my hat from my glove
don t you notice how hopelessly i m lost
you can say that you re leading me on
Too much in love, i don t know
I m too misty, i get misty just holding your hand, you can say that you re leading me on
i get misty just holding your hand
you can say that you re leading me on
I m too misty and too much in love, that music i hear Garner, i don t know
you can say that you re leading me on
Never knowing my right foot from my left, never knowing my right foot from my left
You can say that you re leading me on, don t you notice i m hopelessly so lost, that s why i m following you
Or it might be the sound of your hello, that music i hear Errol, but it s just want i want you to do
you can say that you re leading me on
That music i hear, or it might be the sound of your hello, or it might be the sound of your hello
i m too misty
too misty and too much in love
Too misty and too much in love, too much in love
I've never seen anything else like this in my life ever, he is not looking because the instrument is an extension of his mind, he was a prodigy and got it at age 3, very rare, he is one with it
An elderly friend told me of her husband who played the piano in Madison square gardens during the war, whilst playing Misty a gentleman stood behind him listening, when finished the gentleman complemented him on his playing in his words 'never have I heard this song played so perfect with such feeling' he thanked the gentleman and asked his name ? the gentleman replied .... Erroll Garner I wrote it sir ! :)
I heard a story that someone criticized Erroll because of his inability to read music.
He responded by saying,"No one comes to watch me read."
Thanks for posting.
Erroll Garner is the King of improvisation, composing, uttering, executing , arranging anything without previous preparation and without the ability to read music. Total genius. RIP
When I was 14, my mother bought me Andre Previn and Oscar Peterson albums, then I was hooked on jazz piano. Then followed Erroll and Bill Evans. I have played "Misty" on the piano since I was about 10 years old, about 60 years! "Misty" is one of the greatest love ballads of all time!
"Born in 1921 he was a self-taught pianist who never learned to read music, Erroll Garner was nevertheless one of the most popular jazz musicians of the 1950s."
How is this man not more worldly recognized. He has such a beautiful and unique style in approaching jazz piano with his left hand swinging rhythm section accompanied by the right hand octave melody lines. Erroll was living proof that jazz is one of the greatest art forms. This video deserves 7 billion views.
At my family's Bar and Restaurant in NYC he was playing in our bar, I sat at the bar listening, sometimes hiding behind the jukebox because I was not allowed in, he played a few nights a week for years and I didnt know what I was hearing...I play Jazz guitar now and boy do I know how lucky I was
