About This Song
About "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (From "Roberta")" by James Galway
Galway's flute turns the smoky standard into a ghost drifting through a ballroom. The melody curls like cigarette haze, tender but distant, as if love is remembered rather than felt. A serene surface barely conceals the ache of something slipping awayβelegant, wistful, and quietly devastating.
