Billie Holiday, “Speak Low”

by Alexandra Molotkow

I’m in the kind of mood where I would like to watch One Touch Of Venus (never seen the film version, is it good? Warn me if not!) and just mainline a bunch of old musicals and movies in which people are either ridiculously happy or ridiculously sad. Clever is good, too, but really I’m in this for the feelings. Doesn’t matter why the feelings exist. I’m just here to slug a liter of feelings and climb to the top of Mount Feelings.
