I absolutely positively LOVE My Junk. The harmonies and everything are soooo incredibly gorgeous. The Dark I Know Well is amazing too

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

All That's Known
Touch Me (Brian and Skylar's parts especially)
The Dark I Know Well
Left Behind.

I like the other songs, mostly...but those four really stand out as being the best in my mind.

way too many to choose from. I love them all, but I would probably say my favorites are:
All That's Known
The Bitch of Living
Touch Me
Left Behind
Totally F*CKed
The Word of Your Body (Reprise)
The Song of Purple Summer

Yeah, I have no idea what my number one favorite is. I tried to listen to other stuff but just came back to it. Right now my iTunes Top 25 most played is pretty much all Spring Awakening.

"Don't Do Sadness" is a haunting song, and the duet/counterpoint with Ilse is terrific. It's also the song that got to me most in the theater, only Friday night.

Does anyone else hear echoes of R.E.M.'s "...My Religion?"

This is a thread jack, but figured I'd ask it here instead of devoting an entire thread to it: What is "There Once Was a Pirate's" relation to the plot? I've listened to sit several times trying to find out but to no avail...

re: Fave Spring Awakening track#33

To me, "There Once Was A Pirate" deals in a way that they used to play pirates when they were kids, but basically this pirate guy is trying to get a girl or something, and has a hard time.
Um, not too sure how that fits into the plot... it wouldnt be Melchoir and Wendla, I'd assume, but maybe Moritz and Ilse? Scratch that.

I really have no clue, just speculation. Never seen the show, just got some of the songs from iTunes to judge by...including the "There Once Was A Pirate" song

"And Then There Were None" by far! And then "Don't Do Sadness"

The whole cd is amazing. The show itself is unbelievable. I can't wait to see it again.

I can not choose only one. Impossible. I will limit myself to 5 though.

Mama Who Bore Me(and the reprise....I am cheating)
The Bitch of Living
Touch Me
The Dark I Know Well

In the show Ilse makes reference to the fact that she and Moritz used to play pirates when they were little right before Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind.

Before the CD, all I had to live off of was Totally F*CKed and The Bitch of Living, but now that I finally have it, it's the only thing that has kept happy throughout this whole week especially with final exams.

Like everyone else, I haven't even THOUGHT about listening to anything else but this recording ever since I got it. I love them all too much. And by all, I literally mean ALL. There's not ONE song that I skip over. Just to TRY and narrow down, these would be my current favorites:

Those You've Known
My Junk
Touch Me
The Word of Your Body (Reprise)

[educator06]

re: Fave Spring Awakening track#40

Posted: 12/17/06 at 5:21pm

1. Touch me
2. Whispering
3. Word of your body - Word of your body reprise
4. The guilty ones
5. Mama who bore me

I haven't gotten the CD yet but I love The Bitch of Living and Totally F*CKed.

Don't Do Sadness and And Then There Were None

re: Fave Spring Awakening track#43

Posted: 12/17/06 at 6:41pm

If I had to pick a couple I'd say:

Left Behind
The Bitch of Living
My Junk
Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind
Mirror Blue Night
Totally F*CKed
All That's Known
Those You've Known
+ all the rest

All of the others are not far behind at all. I honestly think it is a perfect score and show in every way.

Touch Me gives me goose pimples when Gideon Glick first starts singing..his voice is so pure and innocent.

DRS--I answered your question about pirates in your previous thread. There is no relation to the plot, that's why they got rid of it.

Here's a question: I think it's inevitable that a DJ out there will make a techno re-mix of one of these songs to play at clubs, etc. What song would be the most likely candidate for such a treatment?

re: Fave Spring Awakening track#47

Posted: 12/17/06 at 7:55pm

McFrenzied, I agree with you about "Touch Me". Gideon's solo is my favorite part of the song.

McFrenzied- I think you have me confused with someone else. This is the first time I've asked about it.

"Left Behind," but the song is MUCH more beautiful live than on the recording.
