Diana Krall - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams Lyrics






I walk along the street of sorrow
The boulevard of broken dreams
Where gigolo and gigalette
Can take a kiss without regret
So they forget their broken dreams

You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow
When you behold your shattered dreams
And gigolo and gigalette
Awake to find their eyes are wet
With tears that tell of broken dreams

Here is where you'll always find me
Always walking up and down
But I left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town

The joy that you find here you borrow
You cannot keep it long it seems
But gigolo and gigalette
Still sing a song and dance along
Boulevard of broken dreams

    I was interested in the 3 "scenic" images. The 1st is shot from Brooklyn looking west into lower Manhattan, with the East River & the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground. The 2nd shows midtown Manhatten & the Empire State building. The 3rd one momentarily puzzled me, until I realized that it was actually that of center city Philadelphia!

  12. D.... G....

    Her voice being a tad raspy and imperfect make this all the better

  20. T.... ....

    Never heard this song before. So glad to hear her singing again ... And this could very well be the best of her piano comping.
    Definitely, the most live and accurately recorded piano engineering ...

    O man,I'm so lucky,because I live on country side...not on a boulevard or avenue!

  28. M.... ....

    Nice version but people should know that this song was not written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin as is usually credited.No its a Cuban song by Maria Teresa Vera originally called ''Veinte años''.Her version is very beautiful albeit in a completely different way.Check it out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja0HBp2hL-Q

  29. F.... B....

    she is a perfect dream

  30. S.... ....

    I walk along the street of sorrow
    The boulevard of broken dreams
    Where gigolo and gigalette
    Can take a kiss without regret
    So they forget their broken dreams

    You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow
    When you behold your shattered dreams
    And gigolo and gigalette
    Awake to find their eyes are wet
    With tears that tell of broken dreams

    Here is where you'll always find me
    Always walking up and down
    But I left my soul behind me
    In an old cathedral town

    The joy that you find here you borrow
    You cannot keep it long it seems
    But gigolo and gigalette
    Still sing a song and dance along

    Such an incredibly good cover... Diana Krall did a real masterwork with this long cover. It became another of the songs of my life. Discover how good she was with it. Heard it a lot and keep with. It has also that original and lovely guitar. Surrounded by those splendid musicians she stands as an iconic jazz lady all along with Etta James, Carmen McRae, Biela da Costa or Sarah Vaughan. They are all in my jazz cds collection. Mariane Faithful did a cover I like too of this classic, but here is a different feeling and it touches me in some different way. This recording will doubtless remain, not easy to match it. A rare jewel. Priceless cd, just because of this song.

  33. K.... V....

    Beautiful!!

  34. A.... L....

    it feels nice to know that one can get away with anything in this , world, even murder.

    A.... L....

    It also feels nice to know that you were trying to say something pal.

  35. A.... L....

    Nobody loves me. God, mama, papa, lorraine, diane, uncle george, aunty elaine, aunty nanaa, and daa and uncle kpakpo loved me but they are all retired now and ghana is not the place to be if you want to work hard and make a decent living. I cried today because cousin gideon is suffering from a severe stroke and i'm going with aunty adoofo to cheer him up tomorrow i'll take some fruits and food to him tomorrow. George Bush has recovered from a heart problem thank god. I'll pray for him as well. Papa is also doing well and still saving lives even in his condition now.

  36. D.... M....

    I can't tell you how many times I have listened to this song, it just keeps getting better. Thank you Diana

  37. E.... O....

    super !!!

  38. C.... l....

    somos cinco mil ...

  39. f.... f....

    A song very nice a my version trumpet https://youtu.be/uTzBegtzKP0

  40. M.... 4....

    You're the lucky Man , Bob . Being their driver you must have been anytime and anywhere
    with them during Diana's or their concert.
    I believe , she is a charming and glamorous Lady Singer. Her sometimes sandy but velvet voice is made for Jazz and she is loaded by talent and masterly plays her Piano in jazz stylel.
    Regards, Marco

  41. T.... ....

    A wonderful dramatic song. One of my favorite. I particularly love @ 5:30 and 5:50 when the solo get a little funkier... the dance on the boulevard of broken dreams...

  42. T.... A....

    of all the songs of hers I can relate to most, why does it have to be this one?

    My dreams are broken indeed and my soul left far behind.

  43. N.... H....

    I am in tear when listening to the song. It is me now I am Broken back with Broken life and dream, I love this song so much, help me to cry out, I losing my spiritual life, full of disappointment , hopeless frustration of everything, I am in pain for over a year now, sometime feel like to kill myself, feel abandon in life, just dream of one more chance in life again " a time I was beauty and happy" now I am only Broken Dream

    N.... H....

    It's a feeling of heartbreak and loneliness that you are describing. A year is a long time to suffer like that. Can you find a way to change something, even something small, to make you happy again and give you hope? A friend and I went to hear some live music the other day and it did a lot to restore that feeling of enjoyment amidst all of the depressing things that are going on. I hope you find more songs and more people who love music to inspire you to keep trying. It's worth it. God bless.

    N.... H....

    Indeed, we are very numerous, having walked the boulevards of broken dreams. That's why the song resonates so much for us. But there is more to life. It's just that sometimes light seems so far away. Please call a professional or a dedicated hot-line if you are feeling too down. They know how to help.

  44. Y.... ....

    that guitar kills me so bad! 02:35

  45. O.... J....

    Imagínate!!! Cogertela después de que cante esa canción

  46. J.... P....

    A beautiful woman, the lights down low, a glass of wine... all wrapped in Diana's voice.

  47. A.... G....

    ooooo beautiful

  48. A.... A....

    magic Piano. Pure Music

  49. S.... B....

    Simply, Beautiful!

  50. B.... P....

    Great sing Diana Krall. God bless you!

  51. M.... N....

    Simply excellent, everyone came together and and produced a great recording

  52. T.... M....

    She has "a very beautiful voice, and rich Voice volume", also felt that this "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", the husky voice is wonderful. Piano sound was good, also.

    Thanks for the amazing One-song of her.

  53. B.... P....

    Great artist...good voice, interpretation, músic and harmony. Congratulation Diana ....

  54. J.... F....

    ! What a filling has this woman ¡

  55. E.... �....

    Very beautiful .

  56. B.... d....

    Me emociona... me transporta... me hace sentir.... Maravillosa su voz , su sensualidad

  57. G.... M....

    Diana Krall - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

  58. J.... M....

    Absolutely stunning!

  59. W.... ....

    Capolavoro !

  60. P.... C....

    Is this about prostitutes?

    P.... C....

    +justacondom Gicolos and gicolettes are merely symbolic of people who have lost their spiritual footing due to disappointment, hopelessness, and frustration of broken dreams, feeling abandoned by life, belonging nowhere other than where there are others who share their same plight of shattered dreams.

    P.... C....

    So Da Chanh: WHAT ELSE, ONLY HER BODY IS WALKING UP AND DOWN AT THE PLACE NAMED THE BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS, BECAUSE HER SOUL SHE LEFT IN AN OLD CATHEDRAL'S TOWN. (MEANS HER SOUL IS SAFE... BUT HER BODY IS FOR SALE) RFR

    P.... C....

    In a way,somewhere in our lives, we were once a Gigolo or gigolettes....🍷

    P.... C....

    Magnificent

  61. �.... ....

    i thought it was a greendays cover....++

    �.... ....

    me too... lol

    �.... ....

    :) Well even if you stumbled on this page accidentally....what did you think of it? Even if you are not into this kind of music, you surely must have felt the vibe and intense emotion of this talented jazz pianist/ singer....

  62. G.... M....

    Perfect interpretation. Flawless. Thank you for uploading.

  63. W.... C....

    when she sings "cry me a river" i think she means not for a real river !!!

  64. W.... C....

    i have never tried to tear a song apart - i just enjoy if i like it or turn it off if i don"t - analyze a song ???? huh???

    W.... C....

    +Wiley Coldiron I think you're on to something. To analyze a song one needs to have the musical and songwriting knowledge to do it.

    W.... C....

    HA   -  well, in  this  case a  lot of  analyzing  is not  necessary  as it is  plainly sang  about  -   
        it  explains  it"s  own  self  -  BEATS  NOTHING THO  -   Wiley

    W.... C....

    +Blenda Richter. . . an aesthetic bend doesn't hurt, either!

  65. S.... ....

    鈴木道明は裁判ではお咎め無しに為ったが、明らかに、このBoulevard of broken dreamsは「ワンレィニーナイトイン東京」だな。

  66. G.... P....

    dead sexy

  67. J.... B....

    WOW
    That smouldering voice & the fantastic piano playing.
    Doesn't get much better than this----Amazing!!!
    From a 72 yo Aussie fan.

  68. H.... B....

    How many broken dreams in a lifetime,?as many as boulevards hold  night of useless fantasies.

    H.... B....

    At the moment I feel I am in Broken me not jut Broken dream

  69. N.... ....

    Diana Krall mi ricorda qualcuno...purtroppo! Episodi infelici della mia vita! Questo fa di lei una delle cantanti che detesto maggiormente! 

  70. J.... T....

    My favorite Diana Krall interpretation by far. Simply outstanding ♥ ♥ ♥

  71. n.... j....

    are the gigilo and gigalette kissing each other here--- or what? and what does the cathedral have to do with it? funny. 

    n.... j....

    I don't think it's funny -it makes me cry.
    I walk along the street of sorrow 
    The boulevard of broken dreams 
    Where gigolo and gigalette 
    Can take a kiss without regret 
    ...
    Here is where you'll always find me 
    Always walking up and down 
    But I left my soul behind me 
    In an old cathedral town 

    n.... j....

    She left her soul (everything she believes, the essence of her) in the cathedral town where she grew up or held dear as she wanders the boulevard of broken dreams (of cruel reality, survival, disenchantment, and hopelessness)

    n.... j....

    +nancy jeanne prohaska thompson The song is about people coming to big cities from small towns to chase their dreams of being famous but end up not making it and eventually turn to becoming prostitutes just to survive.

  72. r.... m....

    The Voice has Improved with Age

  73. S.... K....

    Very smooth indeed

  74. R.... W....

    I had the pleasure of being Diana and Elvis's driver.  Wonderful people. Thanks for the memories Diana and Elvis.

    Thanks for sharing.
    I never heard of her, until I was looking at a fashion show on you tube and based on the comments, everybody was interested in the music the models walked to. Somebody shared Diana Kroll and I've been listening ever since (2 months now).

    R.... W....

    I am jealous, lol

    R.... W....

    By the way, the Diana's face looks like as Elvis Presley's daughter

    R.... W....

    2 grands talents !

    R.... W....

    @Ernesto Parodi I think he refers to Elvis Costello, her husband, not THE Elvis :-) She doesn´t look like her husband AT ALL! Thank god

  75. T.... ....

    Gorgeous interpretation.
    The introduction alone...
    Thanks for posting.:)

    I enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.
