Beautiful song, and I've never heard it before - so thanks for mentioning it. Ella slays most things she sings.

You've got me listening to her now, covering Harry Nilsson's "Open Your Window".
"We could be happy alone in a tent, / Think of the money we'd save on rent."

Wonder how you'd rewrite that lyric, TH.
* ponders alternative word for 'tent' *

Since you started this thread, I am constantly rethinking lyrics in my head.

Edit: Ella's scatting is untranslatable.
