i think both "goodbye until tomorrow" and "i could never rescue you" from TL5Y are amazing -- i love that they show complete opposite ways of saying goodbye within just a minute or two of each other.

and "ti moune" from OOTI is heartwrenching! i was just in OOTI and i was asaka, so i had to say "and the god's began to cry..." and i was ALWAYS crying. our mama euralie and tonton's voices blended SO well and it was just gorgeous.
