You Go to My Head
“You Go to My Head” was written in 1938 by J. Fred Coots (music) and Haven Gillespie (lyrics). Its poetic lyric compares the rush of love to the intoxication of wine and cocktails, making it one of the most sophisticated metaphors in the Great American Songbook. Over the years, it has been recorded by greats like Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, and Louis Armstrong. Here, Jason Paul performs “You Go to My Head” with acoustic guitar and voice, offering a stripped-down interpretation of this bittersweet ballad. 👉 Can you relate to the drunk love metaphor?
