IS THAT ALL THERE IS?

“Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing.
Let’s break out the booze and have a ball
If that’s all there is.”

Peggy Lee hit song.
Song was written by Mike Stoller.

Inspired by THOMAS MANN’S short story, “Disillusionment”

A prelude to suicide (?) once you suddenly realize ” that’s all there is”.

Another relevant song:
“Cry Me A River”

Tossup: Carl Sandburg or William Carlos Williams

Well, if we are talking about poet – musicians I would add Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell.

I love Joni Mitchell! 😍

Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now is sheer poetry. Now that she is older she sings it with such richness of emotion. Each word.
