Laila Biali - But Not For Me

Copied!

They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but not for me
With love to lead the way, I found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to go and get that way
Hi-ho, alas! And also, lakc-a-day!
But still I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me

He's knocking on the door, but not for me
He'll plan a two by four, but not for me
I heard that loves a game
I'm puzzled just the same
Was I the moth or flame
I'm all at sea

It all began too well, but what an end
This is the time a fella needs a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
But thеre's no knot for me

edit bio

Multi award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, pianist and CBC Music national radio host Laila Biali has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents from New York City’s Carnegie Hall to Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts, and supported international icon Sting. In 2020, Laila was honoured by SOCAN Music with the Hagood Hardy Award for Excellence in Songwriting. In 2019, Laila’s eponymous release won her a JUNO (Canada’s GRAMMY) for “Vocal Jazz Album of the Year.” The year prior, she was awarded top prize at the Canadian Songwriting Competition in the Jazz category. Laila was also the youngest-ever double winner at Canada’s National Jazz Awards when she was named “SOCAN Composer of the Year” and “Keyboardist of the Year.” She received her first JUNO nomination for Tracing Light (2011), and a spot on DownBeat Magazine’s “Best Albums of the Year” for Live in Concert (2013) and Out of Dust (2020). In September of 2017, Laila was brought on as the host for CBC Music’s national radio show, Saturday Night Jazz, a weekly show broadcast to listeners across Canada. While Laila continues to earn high honours in the Jazz world, her signature sound transcends genre as she “masterfully mixes jazz and pop, bringing virtuosity and unpredictability to songs that are concise and catchy” (Washington Post). Laila’s highly anticipated album, Out of Dust, which features multiple GRAMMY nominees and winners including Lisa Fischer, Alan Ferber, John Ellis, and Larnell Lewis, released March 27, 2020 and was also nominated for a 2021 JUNO Award.
