the parts in Astonishing after the angry part...no one asked me to marry them and I only have one sister, and I don't need her here"
I'm performing that song in about an hour!! I really do want to be Astonishing....:)
Hmmm...there are actually a few right now.
"We Can Do Better Than That" - L5Y
"There's A Fine, Fine Line" & "What Do You Do with a BA in English"- Avenue Q
"What You Own"- Rent
"I Know Things Now" and "No One Is Alone"- Into the Woods
"Mira"- I can't remember the name of the show. Real bad katygrace.
Reading these responses makes me realize that this is a very personal question.
"Cabaret" is hitting home right now for me. The whole part "Start by admitting from cradle to tomb, it itsn't that long a stay...."
"For Now"
"Thank Goodness" from Wicked
"
Im sorry for everything I've said
And for anything I forgot to say too
When things get so complicated
I stumble at best muddle through
I wish that our lives could be simple
I don't want the world only you
Oh I wish I could tell you this face to face
But theres never the time never the place
So this letter will have to do
I love you"
-Aida, Radames' Letter
Yup, my life in a nutshell.
Two come to mind- "Don't Dream It, Be It" (Rocky Horror) and "Open a New Window" (oops, forgot whether that was Gypsy or Mame).
I wish I could say it was "We're in the Money" (42nd Street), but it's more like "Without Love" (Hairspray) lol.
Probably "Better" from Little Women except for the fact that I don't write stories lol. Or "It Sucks To Be Me" from Avenue Q.
What Do You Do With a BA in English? from Avenue Q
Astonishing from Little Women

"I can dance a tango,
I can read Greek- Easy.
I can slay a dragon
Any old week- Easy.
What's hard is simple.
What's natural comes hard.
Maybe you could show me
How to let go,
Lower my guard,
Learn to be free.
Maybe if you whistle,
Whistle for me."

Hey! I'm new here (although I've been lurking here for a while.) I know I'll probably be killed for saying this one, but i find minus the whole flying part, defying gravity from wicked really describes my life. So does the Mimi part of another day from Rent. ( Don't worry, I will try to make the rent and wicked posts rare)
See, I really couldn't sing.
I could never really sing.
What I couldn't do was SING!
"I'm Not Afraid of Anything" from Songs for a New World...
Except, I think I'm David...
(I'll try to come up with a better one to fit what I mean)

Lately...
"Don't Say Goodbye" - Young Zombies in Love
"I Feel So Much Spring" - A New Brain
It sounds really stupid, but "Defying Gravity". People have been telling me lately that I'll never make it to broadway, change your major to a teaching degree, etc. I just feel like telling them not to "Bring Me Dooooowwwwwnnnnn!"
