Posted: 4/17/06 at 8:40pmThough it's somewhat funny, I love "Tell Her I Love Her" from Urinetown. It's such a fantastically quiet yet meaningful song, and has such a somber tone to it. Love it!

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Posted: 4/18/06 at 9:55pmMost Les Miz "Death" Songs. And the Godspell finale. That show is so close in my heart. Was anyone ever in that show the last night and bawled during Jesus's death? If so, PM me.

Until a few months ago, I would have said, "A Little Fall Of Rain" in a heartbeat. But then a 16-year-old friend of mine died as the result of a middle-aged man's irresponsibility in driving drunk. "There Is A Fountain/It Don't Make Sense" from Parade perfectly captures the myriad of feeling that ran through me when he died and still run through me whenever I think about him.

Sweeney Todd Finale, for sure.
I cry everytime, for some reason.
How Glory Goes, Floyd Collins.
The echo section... AH!
Till We Reach that Day.. but I prefer the Canada Recording Sarah's Friend over the OBC's.
This is a metaphysical death - but Ben's Live, Love, Laugh in Follies.

"God Knows Why" from Romeo and Juliet. Andrew Bevis is terrific and very belty before committing suicide.
I second "Javert's Suicide" and add "Judas' Suicide". It goes all the way up to a high F and is just insane.

Does "Make Them Hear You" from Ragtime count? It leads into a death. Til We Reach That Day is a wonderful lament.
"Tell Me It's Not True" from Blood Brothers also left me sobbing. That show is definitely my guilty pleasure musical.
"Let the Sun Shine In" from Hair.

In "Thoroughly Modern Millie" during "Forget About The Boy" when an overstimulated Millie tap dances herself right into the orchestra pit and dies.
Sorry. I just hated that show and am feeling a bit punchy today.
The real answer for me is when Jesus dies on the cross during "Godspell" and the crowd sings "Go With God" (I think) and then the song turns into "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord" -- great scene.

I cannot believe that no one said
Elaborate Lives Reprise from AIDA. That was the most gorgeous song in the whole show and perfect for that moment.
I also liked
Impossible Dream Reprise from MAN OF LA MANCHA and No One Morns the Wicked Reprise from WICKED. It has this touch of irony that is not funny at all but ties the show together and adds a bit of sadness.
Pretty is what changes. What the eye arranges is what is beautiful.
