About This Song
About "Polka Dots And Moonbeams (Live At The Village Vanguard, 1967)" by Bill Evans
Moonbeams and polka dots—a whimsical image turned into a nocturne of longing. Evans's touch is watercolor, the melody a pattern on a darkened wall. Beneath the charm, a loneliness: the dance is over, and the singer stands alone, tracing shapes that won't hold.
