Specific short lines or lyrics that give you chills — Page 3

DEFINATELY:

Light in the Piazza when Clara says, "Mother, I can't leave you." When Margaret replies, "YES YOU CAN." I get the chills!!

Also....

In Aida after they are found out, Amneris goes to Radames and says, "And did you ever love me...at all?" Chills! Who has not had that feeling in their life?

I agree with every post on here but was surprised to see no Evita.


"Don't cry for me Argentina.
The truth is I shall not leave you.
Though it may get harder, for you to see me
I'm Argentina and always will be"


"Oh my daughter! Oh my son! Understand what I have done."

Wicked:
"Something has changed inside me, something is not the same."
"If that's love it comes at much too high a cost!"

Rent:
"Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care?"
"Without you, the ear hears, the pulse beats . . ."
"Life goes on, but I'm gone because I die without you."
"Find the one song before the virus takes hold . . .glory, like a sunset. One song to redeem this empty life!"

Cats:
"Touch me, it's so easy to leave me. Touch me and you'll understand what happiness is.

Les Miserables:
"He's like the son I might have known, if God had granted me a son."
"And still I dream he'll come to me and we will spend the years together!"
"I don't feel any pain. You're here and that's all I need to know."

and so much more in that show!

Mary Poppins:

"Go and chase your dreams, you won't regret it. Anything can happen...if you let it."

Les Mis:

"And rain,"
"And rain,"
"Will make the flowers-..."
"Will make the flowers...

...grow."

Well I am a big WICKED fan (yea i know, according to many that makes me a loser...but I believe its a wonderful show :)
but anyway, every time I see WICKED, the lyric "Every so often we long to steal, to the land of what might have been,but that doesnt soften the ache we feel when reality sets back in." that gives me chills
and the line "I'm not...its the Wizard who should be afraid...of ME!" always gets me, its such a turning point for Elphaba who at first admired the Wizard but then all of a sudden her world is turned upside down.

Not particularly a lyric,
but when Norma Desmond returns to the Studio in Sunset Boulevard it gives me the chills...the anthem playing!

Also, the music right after "A Little Fall of Rain" in Les Mis when they carry Eponine off...actually that's pretty sad too!

Same with the EVITA one:
"Oh my daughter! Oh my son! Understand what I have done."

""That's why I'm still out there singing. Like that bunny on TV with the battery, I just keep going and going and going. Chasing the music...trying to get home..."
~Jersey Boys "

Yes!! Well actually for me it's that little moment between the end of that monologue and the beginning of who loves you.

Actually it's a lot of moments for me rather than lines. In Rent for instance RIGHT after "the powerblows!!" I just get this huge rush of excitement, especially when David Truskinoff is conducting, he yells this little "2-3-4!" before it goes.

Another moment that gives me chills it the note Raul Esparza hits in Company during Side by Side by Side when he sings "you bring the drinks AND I'll bring the posy" It's hard to explain but it's so magnificent.

There are a few lines from Rent that give me chills but I think most have been covered, some in Aida as well but I can't think of them off the top of my head. And finally in Spring Awakening when they sing "I'm gonna be your bruise"

"If I'm lonely, doesn't matter,
I think there's worse than being lonely
There's people who freeze, who wait on their knees
And they don't know for what, they've just been forgot..."

"Gonna slam that iron down on my heart
Gonna slam that iron down on my throat
Gonna slam that iron down on my sex..."
