♪♫ Downstairs they're playing Kenton

The house set to swing

I lay in my bed

And listen to everything

Cause Leo's in rare form tonight

His trombone sings so sweet

This is the room

Where they all come to meet

He said

I do what I can

I live for the moment

And that's who I am

Yeah that's who I am

And isn't it good

If we could freeze moments in time

We all would

But I do what I can

I do what I can

Downstairs he's playing Kenton

The Magnavox sighs

But oh how the music has changed

In all of our lives

He says "nobody listens

To modern jazz"

And I'll never have what those guys have

He says

I do what I can

I work for a living

And that's who I am

Yeah that's who I am

And it's good to be alive

But everything's different since Leo died

I do what I can

Is this the end of the modern world

What could it mean for a young girl

Who sees the pain on his face

He does what he can

The procession on the TV screen

What could it possibly mean for a man

Who's come this far just to turn around

Could there still be life in Kenton's swing

With the Kennedys gone and everything

Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors

Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers

Riots down the street and discontented mothers

We do what we can

Downstairs it's quiet

Less alive somehow

Somehow he was everything that I am now

And he says

I do what I can

I work for a living

And that's who I am

And that's who I am

But it's good to be alive

And these are the choices

We make to survive

You do what you can ♪♫

Someone had commented that this was written to honor her father after his death. Well, it was written to honor him, but before he passed. If you search for live versions of this, you will find there is a version of this song with her dad (Wendell) playing along with her. Which to me just makes the song all the more fantastic. To write something so awesome about someone, and then share it with him. I imagine that was pretty special for them both.

Top marks on this. I know she has her detractors, but I still like her after all these years

+MyHarto I feel like you might like this song if you've not listened to it before. It's very jazzy and builds incredibly.

I can't think of a more soulful sexy tune I can practically smell the smoke filled bar. as the warm iceless glass of scotch whiskey. I feel my husband holding me close on the dance floor. No air between us, bodies melted as one. He sings softly" I do what I can" My hip graving his tight denim jeans so hard i feel his zipper. HOT song and memory!

Her best song. Amazing how she captures the unfulfilled hopes & dreams, the paradise lost. This is for her father who was a jazz musician and she probably also sings about her lost childhood. Really a song about an american life passing by. Very moving.
