Music Monday!

Once I'm with the wizard
My whole life will change
Cause once you're with the wizard
No one thinks you're strange!
No father is not proud of you
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When by the wizard, you're acclaimed
And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand in hand -
The wizard and I!

I woke up this morning and this was playing in my head, all morning long! I use to not really be a fan of "The Wizard & I" but it grew on me and now its one of my favorite songs!

Music Monday!

Lets just say -- I loathe it all!
Every little trait however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
Its so pure! So strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing you
My whole life long!

I love this song. I love it cause it's the happiest song I've ever heard that basically says "I hate you" haha. And its such a fun song to sing! This was one of my very first favorite Wicked songs :)

Music Monday!

I asked my husband to give me a song for Music Monday this week and... why did I even bother to ask? His response was "you know which one's my favorite song!" so I get to share that all with you this week!

Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraughtless
When you're thoughtless
Those who dont try
Never look foolish

My husband is a huge fan of Dancing Through Life. He feels that it describes him, which I wont deny, it does. And to be honest, it kinda annoys me lol. But I'm glad he shares a passion, even if its a very small passion for Wicked with me :)

Music Monday!

Unlimited
My future is, unlimited
And I just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know, it sounds truly crazy...
And true... the visions hazy...
But I swear some day, there'll be a celebration
Through out Oz
That's all to do with me!

At first I wasnt a fan of The Wizard and I. But after listening to it a few more times, it kinda rubbed off on me. Not only that but this is my favorite part of the entire song.

They mention this unlimited piece a lot. The opening of the show, The Wizard and I, Defying Gravity... makes me wonder, why didnt they just make it into an entire song on its own?

Does anyone else feel bad that Elphaba has to belt out the last note of this song then step off stage for a quick second and step back on and start singing What Is This Feeling? I feel a little bad!

And speaking of (and sort of off subject) why isnt The Wicked Witch of the East on the soundtrack?!

Music Monday!

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves a chance to fly!
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who try to ground me
Take a message back from me

Tell them how I
Am defying gravity!
I'm flying high
Defying gravity!
And soon I'm match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

In my own opinion, I think Defying Gravity is one of the best scenes in the entire Wicked show. With that said, I think this part of Defying Gravity (where she's lifted into the air and the lights are all over her) is one of thee. best. performances. I've. EVER. seen! This part always gives me chills and its just so inspiring. Even when I'm listening to this song in the car and I can see the scene as the song is playing, its amazing. Truly amazing.

Music Monday!

Okay, I admit. I almost forgot about Music Monday (how horrible, didnt I just start this blog?) but with good reason! I didnt know today was Monday! I'm honest!

Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight

My wildest dreaming
Could not foresee
Lying beside you, with you wanting me

And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance, and crossed over the line
And if it turns out, its over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine

I re-discovered my love for "As Long As You're Mine". This was my second favorite Wicked song when I first saw Wicked.

I absolutely adore this song, its so passionate and wicked. I love the scene in the musical and how they just seem like they cant get enough of each other. There's something dark and sexy about it (might be because they're suppose to be in the woods in the middle of who-knows-where). I love how this fits into the Elphaba/Fiyero story line and ties in well with the end of the musical =]

Music Monday!

So every Monday I'll try to do Music Monday which is basically when I (or you) pick a song or lyric to be the song or lyric of that day! Since this is my first Music Monday, I'll start it off with For Good (to match the banner).

I'm limited.
Just look at me - I'm limited.
And just look at you.
You could do all I couldnt do, Glinda.
So now it's up to you...
For both of us - now it's up to you...

I picked this part of the song because it kinda ties in with my personal life right now, my boyfriend leaving for the Air Force. And I always felt he was more like Glinda, things come easy for him; friends, success, effort. Where as for me, I feel more like Elphaba. I try and every attempt is never really good enough. At least through my eyes.

For Good is always such a sad song but I think it makes a great finale song.
