God, it is just so beautiful. *sniff*

Alright, now I have to go listen to Company now.

huh. I thought beauty was in the eye of the beerholder....


On topic, I could listen to "At The Fountain" for days.

Oh, I forgot about "Being Alive" from Company.

Here ya go!

ROBERT [speaking]: Stop!...What do you get? [Sings]
Someone to hold you too close,
Someone to hurt you too deep,
Someone to sit in your chair,
To ruin your sleep.

PAUL: That's true, but there's more to it than that.
SARAH: Is that all you think there is to it?
HARRY: You've got so many reasons for not being with someone, but
Robert,
you haven't got one good reason for being alone.
LARRY: Come on, you're on to something, Bobby. You're on to something.

ROBERT:
Someone to need you too much,
Someone to know you too well,
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell.

DAVID: You see what you look for, you know.
JOANNE: You're not a kid anymore, Robby. I don't think you'll ever
be a kid again, kiddo.
PETER: Hey, buddy, don't be afraid it won't be perfect. The only thing
to be afraid of really is that it won't be.
JENNY: Don't stop now. Keep going.

ROBERT:
Someone you have to let in,
Someone whose feelings you spare,
Someone who, like it or not,
Will want you to share
A little, a lot.

SUSAN: And what does all that mean?
LARRY: Robert, how do you know so much about it when you've never
been there?
HARRY: It's much better living it than looking at it, Robert.
PETER: Add 'em up, Bobby. Add 'em up.

ROBERT:
Someone to crowd you with love,
Someone to force you to care,
Someone to make you come through,
Who'll always be there,
As frightened as you
Of being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive.

AMY: Blow out the candles, Robert, and make a wish. *Want* something!
Want *something*!

ROBERT:
Somebody, hold me too close,
Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive,
Being alive.

Somebody, need me too much,
Somebody, know me too well,
Somebody, pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support
For being alive,
Make me alive.

Make me confused,
Mock me with praise,
Let me be used,
Vary my days.
But alone is alone, not alive.

Somebody, crowd me with love,
Somebody, force me to care,
Somebody, make me come through,
I'll always be there,
As frightened as you,
To help us survive
Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive!

Blow out the candles, Robert, and make a wish. *Want* something! Want *something*!

You even included all the dialogue in between, Sum.
I'm impressed.

caroline:
underwater its like a song you hear on the radio at night
like sleeping with the light out
like the wooden sound of your mamas sad basoon

All of "Lily's Eyes" and "The Next Ten Minutes," particularly Cathy and Jamie's duet at the end.

"No one here to guide you,
Now you're on your own.
Only me beside you,
Still you're not alone.
No one is alone, truly.
No one is alone."


"Why do we follow leaders who never lead?
Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution- if we're so deep? Tell me why, someone tell me why so many people bleed. Cages or wings, which do you prefer? Ask the birds. Fear or love baby, don't say the answer, action speak louder then words."

"And I woke one day,
and I looked around,
and I thought, my god
I'll never have the moon."

All of "Your Daddy's Son"

All of “I’d Give It All For You”

I want to add "He Wanted to Say" from Ragtime to this. It is just a song that everytime I hear it, it makes me tear up because I think that it's something everyone can identify with in themselves. Granted it wouldn't be this specific issue but how many times have people found themselves wanting to say everything they're feeling to someone else and show their passion and then they just...don't.


Emma:
He wanted to say, I am here because I have to be.
He wanted to say, I am here for what is right.
Every day I wake up knowing,
What you've lost and what is owing.
I would shed this skin if I could to stand with you and fight,
He wanted to say:

Younger Brother:
I am not who I appear to be.

Emma:
He wanted to say:

Younger Brother:
Do not blame me for my past.

Both:
We have different lives and faces
But our hearts have common places
This was deep inside me
And you helped me find it at last!

Emma:
Two men meeting for a moment in the darkness

Coalhouse:
One turning from...

Younger Brother:
One waking to...

All:
America!
Two men finding
For a moment in the darkness...

Coalhouse/Younger Brother:
They're the same

Emma:
They're the same!

Coalhouse's Men:
He wanted to say:

Coalhouse:
How I envy you your innocence

Emma and Coalhouse's Men:
He wanted to say:

Younger Brother:
By your side, I could be brave.
If there's such a thing as justice,
Let me help you find your justice.
This I do for you and for Sarah
Who lies in her grave!

Emma and Men:
But all he said was....

Younger Brother:
I know how to blow things up.

Emma and Men:
Two men meeting
For a moment
In the darkness
For a moment
In the darkness.

Song: Something Wonderful

This is a man who thinks with his heart,
His heart is not always wise.
This is a man who stumbles and falls,
But this is a man who tries.

This is a man you'll forgive and forgive,
And help protect, as long as you live...
He will not always say
What you would have him say,
But now and then he'll do
Something
Wonderful.

He has a thousand dreams
That won't come true,
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you.

You'll always go along,
Defend him where he's wrong
And tell him, when he's strong
He is
Wonderful
He'll always
Needs your love
And so he'll get your love.
A man who needs your love
Can be
Wonderful.

Everytime I listen to that part in Assassins where Kennedy dies and that music interlude starts playing and I remember that moment when Kennedy's assasination plays on NPH's white t-shirt...I lose it.

And everytime I listen to the entire soundtrack of Miss Saigon and the end comes...

[bythesword84]

Posted: 9/6/04 at 2:02am

Oh that scene in Assassins is just...I don't even think it can be described. I don't even think anyone in the audience breathes during that part. phenominal.

I always tear up during "Unusual Way" and "No One Is Alone."

Another song that gets me is "Role of a Lifetime" from BARE.

What role do I play?
Am I a savior or a phase?
Am I here to damn you,
Or to help you navigate this maze?

It's so beautiful!

[bythesword84]

Posted: 9/6/04 at 2:21am

I love that song in Bare as well but the one from that show that always makes me cry actually isn't on the sampler.

[zoran912]

Posted: 9/6/04 at 2:22am

I haven't seen the show. I hope that they release a full cast recording soon.

[bythesword84]

Posted: 9/6/04 at 2:47am

I saw it twice and I too would love a recording. I can tell you there'd be so many more lines from that on this thread if people got to hear it all.

[zoran912]

Posted: 9/6/04 at 2:54am

It's the best thing I've heard in a long time. It's so original. I love it.

You'll Never Walk Alone from Carousel (tear-wrencher)
John 19:41 from Jesus Christ Superstar (something eerie about it)
You Must Love Me from Evita (purely gorgeous)
Memory from Cats (the all-time stunning)
All I Ask of You (when the Phantom's unmasked)
Take me as I am from Jekyll and Hyde (amazing)
Once Upon a Dream from Jekyll and Hyde (Jekyll's version)
Total Eclipse of the Heart from Dance of the Vampires
Die Unstillbare Gier from Tanz der Vampire (talks about
humanity's greed and the destruction of mankind in year 2000)
Over the Rainbow from Wizard of Oz (the rehearsal version from
the deleted sequence - on the Wizard of Oz DVD)
L'Air de la Misere from Les Miserables (truly haunting)
All the songs from the French Les Mis (like seeing a ghost!)
The Movie in my Mind and practically all of Miss Saigon
Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd, the whole lot of them, are
like an emotional rollercoaster

And The Heart is Slow to Learn from Lloyd Webber's Phantom 2
