As do I. That is actually my wife's favorite song and she is not even a theatre fan.

I love it, too, Glebby.
i sang it at a friends wedding a few years ago.

It is a great song and for once I know one of Glebb's many culturally diverse references.

I would have sang that at my wedding, if I thought I could get through it without crying. So, my church music director sang "Unexpected Song" which is another ALW beauty.

Glebby, I think the lyrics are so true... and the melody is lovely. And powerful, with the build-up and the key change.

The only person who can do this song justice (in my opinion) is Michael Ball. I mean, Anthony Warlow (VOCAL GOD) sang this song on his cd and still could not match Michael Ball's interpretation . . . and that says a lot.

I can still see Bernnie singing "Unexpected Song".

I'm liking Michael Ball.
iTunes says I've already listened 10 times.
I also downloaded "The Music Goes Round and Round" by Tommy Dorsey but I keep listening to "Love Changes Everything".

I went to see that show over and over... just to see him and hear him sing that song.
There are some other really lovely parts to the show, too.

I also love this song, one of ALW's best. And since ALW is my girlfriend's favorite composer, the song has a special meaning for us.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

The CD for the second act is in my car CD changer; when I forget my iPod, I listen to the CD over and over. I really do like the show. Love Julietta Trapani's funeral song.
The ALW trio from My Favorite Bway Leading Ladies has Audra singing Love Changes Everything; she's pretty darned perfect, too. That track is never out of the top 10 or 15 on my most often played playlist.

Bta, I too, love Audra's version on that dvd. I love that entire number. When she and Marin and Judy all come together to sing "I never thought I'd come to this..." Sigh. I almost wet myself just thinking about it.

Right?? It's as beautiful as any Puccini trio.
Well, that's a bit of hyperbole, I suppose, but it's beautiful nevertheless. When Audra sings:
Off
Into the world we go,
Planning futures,
Shaping years...
She's singing with such force, she's almost shouting (but in total control, of course). It's positively thrilling.
