About This Song
About "Lady in the Dark : Weill: Lady in the Dark: No. 1, One Life to Live" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
Weill's Lady in the Dark opens with a Broadway pulse—one life to live, so seize it. Von Otter shifts into cabaret mode, wry and urgent, brass and piano snapping like city lights. The song is a manifesto of appetite, sung with theatrical verve and a hint of midnight melancholy.
