About This Song
About "Happy End : Weill: Happy End: I. Bilbao Song" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
Weill's Bilbao Song lurches with cabaret swagger, von Otter inhabiting a smoky, disreputable bar where nostalgia and menace share a bottle. The melody staggers between sentiment and cynicism, a raucous memory of lost glory, each brass blare a ghost of better days and darker deeds.
