Fools and Kings

from Stanzas for Music by Kerri Joy

/

about

A medley of the timeless jazz standard Nature Boy- which has long been a favorite of mine- paired with a fiddle tune of Balkan inspiration written by Paul Kotapish. They seemed a natural fit for each other despite being rooted in very different genres.

lyrics

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
