Favorite Sondheim Song?

I was listening to some good ol' Sondheim, and I was thinking, if you had to pick your all time favorite song of his, which would it be? For me, it is Giants in the Sky (for now...).

If I had to choose: "Finishing the Hat" from Sunday in the Park with George.

I also love Sweeney's "Johanna" and "Being Alive" from Company.

I'd go with "Not a Day Goes By" and "Getting Married Today." Yes, I'm partial to the latter because i'm currently singing that number (Paul's part) in a production of "Company."

"Sorry-Grateful", of course. Or maybe "On the Steps of the Palace."

I have a lot of favorites.

Oh. I've seriously never been able to pick, it's really impossible. Maybe "Another Hundred People" from Company. I won't commit to it, though. "Move On", "Being Alive", "A Little Priest", "The Glamorous Life", "The Ballad of Booth", "The Miller's Son", "Live, Laugh, Love", "By the Sea", "Not a Day Goes By", "Our Time".

You wouldn't really make me commit to one, would you?

"The Ballad of Booth" LOVE IT!

[Scarywarhol]

"Johanna" (the one Sweeney sings)

[Pippin]

I was going to say "another hundred people" but since it was just taken, I'll have to go with "with so little to be sure of" from Anyone can whistle.

The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.
That song is quite possibly my favorite song of all time.

A tie between Move On and Being Alive. I just can't pick one over the other!

I am going to go with Our Time as my favorite

I am a big fan of No One is Alone also

"Finishing the Hat" and Sweeney's "Johanna" ... although I change my mind all the time.

Not While I'm Around.

I think it was one of the first ones I heard, and I've loved it since.

It's a tie between "I Wish I Could Forget You" from Passion and "Losing My Mind" from Follies.

Oh, and "Move on".
And "I Read".
And "The God-Why-Don't-You Love-Me Blues".
And "It Takes Two" from Into The Woods.

Arrrrgghh this is too hard!
