Gershwin "Someone to Watch Over Me"

Born in Brooklyn, New York, George Gershwin is one of America's most renowned composers, renowned for his fusion of classical and jazz music, including "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris." "Someone to Watch Over Me" is a classic ballad composed by George Gershwin for the 1926 musical "Oh, Kay!" Among Gershwin's many gorgeous, rhythmic compositions, this one is particularly lyrical, expressing the desire for someone to care for and watch over oneself amid loneliness and anxiety through its honest and delicate melody. Its simple, easy-to-sing melody has earned it a place as a jazz standard, beloved by many singers and performers, and has also been widely featured in classical and pop music, including by Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. The song's balance of warmth and melancholy, set within a leisurely tempo, is its greatest appeal.
In performance, by carefully expressing the quiet inner prayer without overemphasizing the emotions, the piece will resonate deeply with the listener.
