Hi Everyone I need 3 or 4 songs about angels and/or devils to perform in a week and a half. They need to be easily accessible. Ive thought of "Blow Gabriel Blow" (already know it so that's easy). Also found "Two Lost Souls" from Damn Yankees but not so sure. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!
Could you use "Those Were the Good Old Days" from Damn Yankees? -"Angel of Music" from Phantom -haven't listened to it yet, but the Love Never Dies recording has a song called "Devil Take the Hindmost" -there are some lyrics in "So Anyway" on the recording of Next to Normal that say "They say you should stay with the devil you know But when life needs a change And the one devil won’t You fight to the devil you don’t" -From "Younger than Springtime" from South Pacific- "Angel and lover, heaven and earth are you to me" -"Steppin to the Bad Side" from Dreamgirls?
OK, those probably aren't entirely helpful, but maybe they can put you on the right track. Good luck!
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire

"Hold On" from SECRET GARDEN has this lyric: When you feel your heart is poundin', Fear a devil's at your door. There's no place to hide- You're frozen to the floor! What you do then is you force yourself To wake up, and you say: "It's this dream, not me, that's bound to go away."
Hold on, Hold on, the night will soon be by. Hold on, Until there's nothing left to try. Child, hold on, There's angels on their way!
How about somethign from "Phantom of the Paradise"
Half asleep I hear a voice Is it only in my mind Or is it someone calling me someone I failed and left behind
To work it out I let them in All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been All the devils that disturbed me and the angels that defeated them somehow Come together in me now
Face to face I greet the cast Set in silence we begin Companions in an empty room I taste their victory and sin
To work it out I let them in All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been All the devils that disturbed me and the angels that defeated them somehow Come together in me now
A tale of beauty and the beast I defend my soul from those who would accuse me I share the famine and the feast I have been the world and felt it turning seen the jester yearning to amuse me
Like a circus on parade Seldom close enough to see I wander through an angry crowd and wonder what became of me
To work it out I let them in All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been All the devils that disturbed me and the angels that defeated them somehow Come together in me now
'Shoes Upon the Table' from Blood Brothers? Really it's about superstition, but practically every other line is "now you know the devil's got your number". XD
