These Foolish Things

“These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)” was written in 1936 with words by Eric Maschwitz (as Holt Marvell) and music by Jack Strachey and Harry Link. The song became a beloved standard, first popularized by Leslie Hutchinson and later recorded by Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole. Its poetic lyrics capture everyday images – from a cigarette that bears a lipstick’s traces to the sound of a fairground – as reminders of love. Here, Jason Paul performs “These Foolish Things” with acoustic guitar and voice, offering a stripped-down take on one of the most romantic ballads in the Great American Songbook. 👉 Quiz: What’s a fairground?
