”That jazz” is referring to a miracle in music that happened in the beginning of 1900s when people from a big variation of ethnical and cultural background inspired each other to play in a new fashion. Luckily all this coincided with the development of new inventions like the phonograph recordings, photography and film so that it became in part documented and still can be enjoyed today. In my early teens I happened to be exposed to ”that jazz” and it struck a string deep within me that has kept vibrating ever since.

The Boulevard of Broken Dreams
This is a sad song. Broken dreams are, if not the worst, one of the saddest things that can happen in life.
But! You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow, then after that you may forget and again dance and sing…
The lyrics:
I walk along the street of sorrow,
The Boulevard of Broken Dreams,
Where Gigolo and Gigolette,
can take a kiss without regret.
So they forget their broken dreams.
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow.
When you behold your shattered schemes,
And Gigolo and Gigolette,
wake up to find their eyes are wet
With tears to 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 Gigolette,
still sing a song and dance along
The Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
