Now this time I want to show you a song that is nowadays rather known for a movie published not so long ago. It appears in V for Vendetta, a movie that takes place in a mostly dark future in which england has fallen in the hands of a mind-manipulating government, bringing violence to those who defend themselves from propaganda and the police, forming a resistance.
However, the protagonist, simply called V, who constantly wears a Guy-Fawkes-mask, is the public enemy #1 as he terrorizes the government with pure violence. But nevertheless he is a very well educated man who saved tons of then forbidden books and arts.
This is the song which is played a few times in the movie, mostly in his hideout.
Now to the song itself (finally! phew).
It was performed by Julie London in 1957 and was so far her most successful one. It is a very soft and silent piece of jazz that invites to close your eyes, forget and dream a little bit. Although it appears to be a rather sad song, I think it also bears some kind of dignity. It doesn't decay in its own regrets but faces them, rising again and continuing after all.
So, if you'll listen to this song now or anytime else, rest and take some time of peace.
