La vida es algo para lo cual en muchas ocasiones uno carece de adjetivos. Forget me not.
Monica:
She suffered from severe scoliosis, and as a result was forced to retire from performing in 1999. She made her last lengthy official tour in 1997, and gave one of her last concerts at Sweden's Hultsfred Festival (which usually is a festival for pop and rock bands; but she participated anyway - and the young rock audience loved her). In the last years of her life she used a wheelchair because of her scoliosis. On 12 May 2005, she died following an accidental fire in her apartment in Stockholm. [3]
Bill:
In April 1979, Evans met Canadian waitress Laurie Verchomin, with whom he would have a relationship until his death. Verchomin was 28 years younger.[43]
At the beginning of a several-week tour of the trio through the Pacific Northwest in the spring of 1979, Evans learned that his brother, Harry, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, had committed suicide at age 52.[7][14][43] This news shocked him deeply, and some of the concerts had to be canceled. His friends and relatives believe that this event precipitated his own death the following year.[7][43]
Marc Johnson recalled: "This fateful trip marks [...] the beginning of the end. Bill's willingness to play and work decreased noticeably after the death of Harry, actually it was just the music itself that held him upright. He fulfilled his obligations because he needed money, but these were the few moments in his life when he felt comfortable - the times in between must have been depressing, and he barely showed a willingness to live."[5]
In August 1979, Evans recorded his last studio album, We Will Meet Again, featuring a composition of the same name written for his brother. The album won a Grammy award posthumously in 1981, along with I Will Say Goodbye.[46]
During the late 1970s, Evans became addicted to cocaine. He started with one gram per weekend, but later started taking several grams daily.[43] His brother Harry's suicide may have also influenced his emotional state after 1979. His sister-in-law Pat Evans has stated that she knew Bill wouldn't last long after Harry's death and she wondered if that's what prompted her to buy three plots in a Baton Rouge Cemetery, where Harry rested.[7]It is also known that he voluntarily quit his treatment for chronic hepatitis.[7] Laurie Verchomin has claimed that Evans was clear in mind that he would die in a short time.[43]
On September 15, 1980, Evans, who had been in bed for several days with stomach pains at his home in Fort Lee, was accompanied by Joe LaBarbera and Verchomin to theMount Sinai Hospital in New York, where he died that afternoon.[43] The cause of death was a combination of peptic ulcer,cirrhosis, bronchial pneumonia, and untreated hepatitis.[8] Evans's friend Gene Lees described Evans's struggle with drugs as "the longest suicide in history."[8] He was interred in Baton Rouge, next to his brother Harry.
Where
has the time all gone to?
Haven't done half the things we want to
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Haven't done half the things we want to
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Just when the fun is startin'
Comes the time for partin'
But let's just be glad for what we've had
And what's to come
Comes the time for partin'
But let's just be glad for what we've had
And what's to come
There's so much more embracin'
Still to be done but time is racin'
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Still to be done but time is racin'
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Y esta última, que hay que verla en el enlace que adjunto aquí.

Recorded in Copenhagen Oct. 1966
Monica Zetterlund with Bill Evans Trio "Once upon a Summertime"
Once upon a summertime if you recall
We stopped beside then in a flower stall
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots
Was all I let you buy me
Once upon a summertime just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street cafe
You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree
I was as proud as any girl could be
As if the major had offered me the key, the key to Paris
Now another wintertime has come and gone
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
But I remember when the vespers chime
You loved me once upon a summertime
