Finally got the CD. I had to wait until now because my son got it for me as a Christmas present.
SOMEONE HELP!
I can't stop listening to this recording. How great to have difficulty choosing a favorite. Each song has its own strengths. I can't wait to hear the music live again next week!
My Top 5 - for now

Mama Who Bore Me
Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind
Totally F*****
Left Behind (leaves me teary)
The Word of Your Body

Time to go listen to the CD again.

I must say that I was excited to hear these songs, but after doing so, was disappointed. Although I loathe most of the songs, the only one that really stands out in my mind is "The Bitch of Living".

You clearly haven't given the cd a 2nd or 3rd chance then.

Currently, my favorite is Touch Me. It's just so beautiful!

Close seconds are Mama Who Bore Me (both) and I Don't Do Sadness.

I really like Purple Summer, too, which surprised me because I didn't really like the clips I heard of it. About Purple Summer, though, I haven't seen the show (although I know the plot, including all the really major spoilers) and I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me the basic "meaning" of the song? I kind of get it, but I don't want to go applying all sorts of symbolism that doesn't belong.

Sorry, bigbigbill...I wasn't impressed with it...probably won't listen to it again. (except the song I mentioned) I guess it wasn't what I expected. I've even seen clips online, thinking they would make the songs seem better, but they don't. I was so excited to see the show and hear the music...and now that I did...I'm disappointed. Seeing the clips online was enough for me...I won't be seeing this show.

"I'm disappointed. Seeing the clips online was enough for me...I won't be seeing this show."

Thats sad.

The "My Junk" lyrics are a little iffy (my junk is you part) but the song is so great I kind of don't care. But whenever I'm singing it around the house or something my family will be like "my junk is you?? what awful lyrics" and it makes me very sad.

How is that sad? It does not look appealing to me. I just cannot get into it, so I won't see it.

I must say that "My Junk" is much better live because of what's transpiring on the stage. I don't really dig it on the recording, + I'm not the hugest fan of a few of the girls...although Phoebe Strole is excellent.

Whispering track 17


I miss Phoebe Strole's solo reprise of "The word of your body" that she used to sing when this show was at the Atlantic. She has an excellent voice, as they all do, just wish Phoebe had more solo opportunities. I think she understudies Lea, I would love to see her in that role!

I Believe...

Phoebe Strole Rocks!! I certainly hope Lea is well, but I would wait in a long line in the rain to get a ticket to see her as Wendla just one time.

I've had Don't Do Sadness stuck in my head all day. The day before was Bitch of Living. And so it goes... I'm quite addicted.

Lea Michele sounds a lot like Sherie Rene Scott!
I like Bitch of Living

Hey, I got that impression during some of the songs, too. They have a similar vocal quality.

I really like "My Junk," but I would love "Purple Summer" if their consonants were together like ever...

My absolute favorite is My Junk, hands down. But Totally F****d and The Dark I Know Well are good too.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

My fave is one that didn't grab me at first, but after seeing the show 4 times, it really grew on me: "The Guilty Ones". It's sort of the point in the show where innocence has been lost. The lighting is breathtaking, and the little spectral refrain "And who can say what dreams are?" gives me goose bumps.

Not that I don't looooove SA, because I do, but don't the cutoffs in The Guilty Ones annoy anyone else? I used to love that song until someone pointed it out at camp this summer. But I think Those You've Known, All That's Known, and Left Behind are genius.

somebody hold me too close...

Don't Do Sadness and Touch Me. There's not one I don't like, though.

One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...

Touch Me and Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind are by far my favorite. Honestly though I love every song in this show its amazing. I can't wait to see it saturday.
