Madeleine Peyroux Singing Waren Zevon's "Desperados Under the Eaves"

I'm blown away by the beauty of her voice. Fragile and beautiful. 🌷🌷🌷
It's a song about alcohol. A song about despair.
All those salty Margaritas in Los Angeles...
Is it a song about you and me – my foreign friend? Is it?

Warren Zeavon A very underrated singer

@helenS There is something tragically touching/poignant about the vulnerability. Her voice is strangely soothing. Nonetheless, alcoholism should not be romantacized. What is your opninion?

@Zakattack86 "Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands"
I don't think it's romanticized. It's a song about an alcoholic's sadness.

@helenS I think you are correct now that you made it clear with the lyrics. Delirium tremens can be terrifying I would imagine. I was curious about profile your picture/avatar. Does it have to do with any mathematics? May I personally message you?

@helenS I'll listen soon - got something else playing at the moment

@helenS Very good! Are you familiar with the photographs of Henri Brassai - Paris in the 1920s and 30s? The song evokes those images for me.

👍Peyroux & Zevon
helenS · 36-40, F
@Tres13 They are both excellent musicians. They come from a very different cultural background, almost as if they came from different planets, but in this song both souls meet.
