Almost Blue (song)

"Almost Blue" is a song by Elvis Costello (Declan Patrick MacManus) that appears on his 1982 album Imperial Bedroom.

"Almost Blue" was also performed by Everything but the Girl ("Like the Deserts Miss the Rain", 2003), Diana Krall ("The Girl in the Other Room", 2004), The Reputation (Self-titled, 2002), Judy Wexler (Dreams and Shadows ,2008), Alison Moyet ("Voice", 2004) and Gwen Stefani performed this song on Stormy Weather in 1998. Chet Baker performed the song, with selected alternative lyrics, on his album Let's Get Lost (also known as Bread, Butter and Champagne) from 1992, which was the soundtrack to a movie of the same name. There is also a small scale jazz movie of the same name starring Michael Madsen, which was presumably inspired by the song.
