"Mack the Knife" or "The Ballad of Mack the Knife" (German: "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer") is a song composed by #KurtWeill with lyrics by #BertoltBrecht for their 1928 music drama #TheThreepennyOpera (German: Die Dreigroschenoper). The song tells of a knife-wielding criminal of the London underworld from the musical named #Macheath, the "Mack the Knife" of the title.

We drifted apart but I remember him fondly. He passed on a few years ago, alas, but I have memories.
Anyway, this was Our Song. Sometimes we'd sing it together, while driving home from some event, when conversation lagged.

Weill’s most famous song was Mack the Knife ("Die Moritat von Mackie Messer"), which became a schlock classic after Bobby Darin’s rendition. However, Weill wrote the song as part of Bertolt Brecht’s “Three Penny Opera,” which was a socialist critique of the capitalist world. Weill was persecuted by the Nazis for his political views and his Jewish heritage. He fled to America, with his wife, singer Lotte Lenya. Some of Weill’s other well-known songs include: Alabama Song (covered by the Doors), Pirate Jenny (covered by Nina Simone), Mack the Knife (covered by Louis Armstrong), Der Kleine des Lieben Gottes (covered by John Zorn).

One of my heroes, #BertoltBrecht, seated outside the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, where the #ThreePennyOpera was first performed in 1928, later bcoming the post-war home of Brecht's #BerlinerEnsemble. I took the photos in 2019.
