"If Ever I Cease to Love" is the anthem of Carnival Day and is usually played in an upbeat tempo by a Dixieland band during the Rex parade. A.J. Loria gives us a more nostalgic and melancholy version. The video shows the Mardi Gras Fountain, with tiles from various Mardi Gras Krewes, some of which are now extinct, surrounding the base.  It is situated next to Lake Pontchartrain and is one of the many beloved icons in the city.
