"I am suddenly alive...

...I would sail across the world for just the color of your eyes."
Beautiful imagery.
What makes you say "Ahhhh, amazingly beautiful."?
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Here we go again with Piazza!

For me, it's:

I see it, now I see it
Everywhere, it's everywhere...

The way that music swells with her voice, I can picture the light getting absolutely blinding.

Shira - that line breaks my heart every time. It is the way real people feel about defining moments in their lives. And when it's echo'd later by Margaret when she says "so much wanting something, so much reaching for it, so much wishing just to have one moment back..." How frigging brilliant is Adam Guettel?

It amazes me when a writer can come up with a line, even just a line, that hundreds of thousands of people connect to/with. But to come up with an entire score - all I can say is wow. Only a handful of writers/composers have been able to touch me like this - and it's mostly the standard list: Sondheim, R&H, Kander and Ebb, and Lerner and Loewe. Now I can add Guettel.

"And the beauty is when you realize, when you realize someone could be looking for a someone like you."
When I listen to this recording I am happiness.
Thanks guys, I'll be listening on the Red Line today. :)

I love that old thread where we paired new songs with old songs here...I think Guettel succeeded in creating new, modern songs that harken back to his grandfather and Hammerstein.
That lyric in your signature, Addy, is a DEFINITE Hammersteinian (I'll say that's a word anyway!) lyric. And it's beautifully written and set.

For some reason that line made me think of a really lovely movie scene :
re: 'I am suddenly alive...
I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

Bway, we should try to find that thread...

I listen to the recording every day, and still find beautiful new passages and lyrics.

That IS one of my favorite scenes from Singin In the Rain - love them both, Debbie and Gene. I did that show a million years ago and had a blast doing it.
Yes, Guettel's lyrics harken back to Hammerstein a lot - maybe that's one of the reasons I love his work so much.
