Imagine that you are soaking in a tub of water that is at the perfect temperature while warm, smooth, sweet, blonde butter is being gently poured into your ears. That's how this song makes me feel. I don't remember the first time I saw or heard Diana Krall, but it got enough of my attention for me to go to the record store and see what albums she had. When I saw the cover of "The Look of Love" I immediately knew I had to get it. You see, I'm a HUGE fan of couches, and the album cover had this gorgeous black divan on it.
All of the songs on this jazz album are very good--it's her best selling album--and she plays piano on all of them. But when I heard "Besame Mucho," I thought to myself, "If a woman was deeply in love with me, and she really wanted to express her feelings in music, this is exactly the way I would want a woman to sing to me, especially if I spoke Spanish."
Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish, so the true meaning of the lyrics are lost on me. But I believe the line "Bésame, bésame mucho" translated literally means "Sit down, sit down on the couch with me."
