"By Myself" is a song by composer Arthur Schwartz and lyricist Howard Dietz. The song's lyrics communicate both the sadness of being alone and a satisfaction found in self-reliance and achievement. The song employs an unusual musical form for a popular song: following the incomplete repetition form AABC. It also vacillates between the keys of g minor and F major making for a more harmonically complex tune. Considered a jazz standard, "By Myself" was originally created for the 1937 Broadway musical Between the Devil. Jack Buchanan introduced the ballad in this musical and it remained a relatively unknown song until it was performed by Fred Astaire in the 1953 musical comedy film The Band Wagon. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We hope you like our version!
