Something's coming

Imagen
  Canción del musical de 1957 West Side Story compuesta por Leonard Bernstein con letra de Stephen Sondheim, en una estupenda versión de Shirley Bassey. Letra Could be, who knows? There's somethin' due any day I will know right away, soon as it shows It may come cannonballin' down through the sky Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose Who knows? It's only just out of reach Down the block, on a beach, under a tree I got a feelin' there's a miracle due Gonna come true, comin' to me Could it be? Yes, it could Somethin's comin', somethin' good, if I can wait Somethin's comin', I don't know what it is But it is gonna be great With a click, with a shock Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, open the latch Somethin's comin', don't know when But it's soon, catch the moon, one-handed catch Around the corner Or whistlin' down the river Come on, deliver to me Will it be? Yes, it will Maybe just by holdin' still, it'll b...

Somewhere

Imagen
  Escrita por Stephen Sondheim, con música de Leonard Bernstein, en 1957, para el musical West Side Story, recoge el anhelo mas propio de la persona, de los deseos más humanos, mas sencillos, y tantas veces tan alejados. Un himno dentro del musical. Mil veces versionada, traigo quizas la menos melodica, mas desgarrada de Tom Waits. Letra There's a place for us Somewhere a place for us Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us somewhere There's a time for us Someday a time for us Time together and time to spare Time to look, time to care Someday Somewhere We'll find a new way of living We'll find a way of forgiving Somewhere There's a place for us Somewhere a place for us Time together with time to spare Time to look, time to care Someday Somewhere We'll find a new way of living We'll find a way of forgiving Somewhere Hold my hand and I'll take you there Somehow Someday Somewhe

Not while I'm around

Imagen
  Canción del musical Sweeney Todd  de 1979 con música y letras de Stephen Sondheim. Excelente composición llevada al cine, esta vez en la versión con la intensidad de Barbra Streisand Letras You know, mum... There's nothing I wouldn't do for you If there was a monster Or an ogre Or anything bad like what was after you... I'd rip it apart With my bare fists I would What a sweet child it is! Or even if it was just a man... A man, dear? A man, what was bad What might be luring you all unbeknownst into his evil deeds, like? What is this, what are you talking about? Nothing's gonna harm you Not while I'm around Nothing's gonna harm you No sir, not while I'm around Demons are prowling everywhere Nowadays I'm sure they are, dear I'll send 'em howling I don't care I've got ways Of course you do, what a sweet, affectionate child it is No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare Others can desert you Not to worry, whistle, I'll be ther...

Losing my mind

Imagen
  Canción escrita por Stephen Sondheim (West side story) para el musical Follies en 1971.  Hay una versión de Liza Minnelli , pero esta de Barbara Cook es la que mas me gusta. The sun comes up, I think about you The coffee cup, I think about you I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind The morning ends, I think about you I talk to friends and think about you And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind? All afternoon doing every little chore The thought of you stays bright Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor Not going left, not going right I dim the lights and think about you Spend sleepless nights to think about you You said you loved me, or were you just being kind? Or am I losing Losing my mind? All afternoon doing every little chore The thought of you stays bright Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor Not going left - not going right I dim the lights and think about you Spend sleepless nights to think about you You said you loved me Or were you j...
