Dance and music mediate between the sensual and the spiritual life. Ludvig van Beethoven (modified quote)
More music played that night of December 1934 by the Ray Noble Orchestra–
Lyrics and music by Cole Porter–
In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night
All the world is in slumber
All the times without number
Darling when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still, of the night
Lastly,
Despite everything that was going on in the 1930s, the people saw to it that there was a deep desire — truly the need — for laughter, love, friendship, passion and fun to prevail.
