These days when I am working on my diss… (Let's say it is You-Know-Who for fear of a heart attack. For those of you who get it, congratulation on your knowledge of children lit), I just let my ipod play. When I got totally absorbed, I usually realize the music is on after the albums have been played twice already. That's why these days I cannot get two musicals out of my mind: Aspects of Love and Les Miserables. The silly "do you hear the people sing" almost causes me some sleeping problem last night.
Let me name a couple of my favorite songs:
Aspects of Love: Love changes everything, At the stage door, George's House at Pau, Seeing is believing, She will be better off with you. (The story plot of this musical is so complicated. So wonder it was a success in London and a flop in Broadway!)
Les Miserable: I dreamed a dream (My favorite!), Who am I?, Master of the house, Little people, do you hear the people sing, On my own (Remmeber Katie Holmes in Dawson's Creek singing this song?), Castle on a cloud. (After study the musical plot, I realized that I actually read the novel by Victor Hugo before. The music just made the story much better).
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
