I'll join in on the Eva Cassidy love. Her "Fields of Gold" makes me INCREDIBLY sad...but in a good way.

As a total show queen with hundreds of songs in my head, the first thing that I thought of was the song from Frank Loessers' "Most Happy Fella":
"my Heart Is So Full of You"
Especially the version Liz Callaway does. I would sell my Grandmother to the Arabs to get a copy of that arrangement.

Posted: 7/15/09 at 8:56amtofu- I love Katie Costello and "Isn't it Lovely". One of my really good friends is Katie's manager! She is definitely a star. My friend said she is working on a duet with Jason Mraz!- Can't wait! She will be a big star and she's only about 18/19!

Not what most would consider beautiful, but Slut does some create some hauntingly pretty melodies and lyrics.
"Wednesday"

And this one, too:
"I Don't Believe In Heroes Anymore"

Posted: 7/15/09 at 4:56pmBeing a fan of rockabilly, it is hard for me to conceive of songs as beautiful. When I think of beauty, I think of the great European art from centuries past.

Posted: 7/15/09 at 9:18pmClara's Interlude from The Light in the Piazza. The music swells, O'Hara comes in on a single vowel, then "luce" and the swelling stops. Fourty-eight seconds long. Perfect in every way possible. It breaks my heart every time.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
