  'Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide eyed gaze. We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate. Autumn leaves are falling down like pieces into place. And I can picture it after all these days.  And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here, no more. And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all. 'Cause there we are again, on that little town street. You almost ran the red, 'cause you were looking over at me.  Wind in my hair, I was there I remember it all too well.  - All Too Well (Taylor's Version & Short Film) released in November 2021 on Red (Taylor's Version) and as a video (starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien)  I was listening to this song on the way to work, not long ago. Yes, I'm a Swiftie, now. Blame, or thank, Dylan O'Brien. Anyway, it hit me that this song, as beautiful and heartfelt and sad as it is - and as much as I love it - did not make me think of anyone. No nostalgic thoughts or memories of, or lingering ...

  When the cowards turn to soldiers  To solve all their problems I wonder what I'm supposed to believe.  And the news reporters set the blame  To the people who don't think the same. I wonder what they're trying to achieve. Is anybody listening To the song that I sing? Does anyone even know who I am? If I sing hallelujah right on up to ya Would your angels even give a damn? - Belief as sung by Ben Fankhauser, written by Alexander Sage Oyen on his album Drafts Volume II What a powerful song. Every time I listen to Ben sing it, it bring tears to my eyes. His voice is so full of passion and pain, longing and hope. Watching him sing it on the YouTube video - holy hell - there are no words, just emotions. Alexander's lyrics are absolutely perfect, and are quite fitting for the state of the world, right now.  And my state of mind.  You hear, all the time, about having faith that things will work out. And believing that things happen for a reason. That it is all l...

  See, I've been bravin' crazy weather Drowin' out my cries. I pull myself together I'm focused on the prize.  I'm fallin' baby, through the sky, through the sky I'm fallin' baby, through the sky.  It's my callin' baby, don't you cry, don't you cry. I'm fallin' through the sky. It's a tune you can hum Oh, Broadway, here I come.  - Broadway, Here I Come as sung by Jeremy Jordan as Jimmy Collins on Smash - The TV Series, Episode 1 of Season 2  What a great show Smash was. Yes, it had its bumps and areas that needed work and could have been improved. And I know there was drama behind the scenes. At its heart, though, Smash was beautiful with intriguing stories. The cast was great, the music was catchy and helped tell the stories well, and it gave an interesting look at life on Broadway. Most importantly - for me, anyway - is that it introduced me to the phenomenal talent that is Jeremy Jordan and begun his long and impactful insp...

  Death doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep living anyway.  We rise and we fall and we break And we make our mistakes I am the one thing in life I can control I am inimitable, I am an original. - Wait For It, from the musical Hamilton, as written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and performed by Leslie Odom Jr. Hamilton is such a great musical, truly powerful. Lin-Manuel is a genius. And such a sweet and funny guy. Seriously, I sometimes I wonder if the man is human. Now, I did skip a few lines in the above song. Not because they are not good, because they are. But because these are the lines that speak to me the loudest when I listen to the song. And, let's face it, anyone that knows me knows that I am NOT patient and that I am terrible at waiting for anything.  If the whole state of the world and the mental breakdown mess taught me anything, it has taught me that. And it has taught me that I AM the one thing in lif...

 " An awful lot of people have gone, historically, to musicals to forget their troubles. 'Come on get happy.' I'm not interested in that. I'm not interested in making people unhappy, but I'm not interested in not looking at life. I don't know why I want to write it, otherwise. - Stephen Sondheim, Broadway Composer & Lyricist - Six By Sondheim  An iconic quote from one of the most powerful and loved names in the world of Broadway. In the way only Sondheim can, he has nailed the beauty of musicals. They are not just about making people happy or to forget their troubles. They are about life - looking at life, what happens to us, what we all go through, and giving us a fresh way to look at life. In that same documentary, he goes on to say that art is making order out of chaos. And I think that is exactly what musicals do. They make order out of the chaos that is life. Musicals are and have been one of my favorite things for as long as I can remember.  The m...

  Where I go, When I go there No more weeping, anymore Only in and out your lips The broken wishes washing with them to shore Touch me - all silent  Baby, just tell me please,  All is forgiven Consume my wine, consume my mind I'll tell you how, when I go where I go Touch me  Just just try it.  Now, there that's it - God that's heaven I'll love your light I'll love you right We'll wander down where the sins cry - Touch Me from Spring Awakening as sung by OBC Cast Skylar Astin, Jonathan Groff, John Gallagher Jr with Lilli Cooper, Brian Johnson, Jonathan B Wright, Gideon Glick, Lea Michele, Lauren Pritchard, Phoebe Strole, and Remy Zaken How great are those lyrics?! This song is one of the most beautiful - and sexy - songs. And it comes from one of the most provocative musicals out there. The song is from the musical, Spring Awakening, which came to Broadway in 2006. This musical introduced the world ... well New York City ... to the phenomenal talents of Jonathan ...
