Dear Chris! I would like to use some of your Godspell instrumentals in a youth production in Hungary. Our drama school for teenagers is going to create a special (abridged) version of the musical. We are planning few performances in a small theater (100 seats) for parents and friends in June. Would you be so kind to let me know the conditions of using your music? Thanks!
Nobody understands me. Nobody even listens. Nobody wants to help me. Might as well talk to scarecrows. But what about Toto? Not now, We're having a crisis. (She's gonna call the sheriff) Not now, your aunt's in a state. (You don't understand) Later honey, You'll just have to wait. Nobody understands me. (We can't afford to lose one chick) My little dogs in danger (you take these out to the car) Should've been born a chicken, Then they'd have paid attention. Poor little orphan. She's got to learn to earn her keep! Henry! Just saying... Well, come on. I hope we got them in time! Oh alright, we'll get these into the house. betway 184T803 82Py Oh Ee Ah Yo Ah

Slyš tu píseň zástupů ze slzavého údolí, chcem tady žít, už máme bídy dost i běd a svévolí. Víme jen, že přijde den, kdy sbohem dáme temnotám, s monarchy zúčtujem a svoboda přijde k nám. Zítra vládcové už nesmějí si s námi jen tak hrát. My navštívenku ohnivou jim pošlem z barikád. Vždyť ten, koho bohové milují, umírá mlád. Slyš tu píseň zástupů ze slzavého údolí, chcem tady žít, už máme bídy dost i běd a svévolí. Víme jen, že přijde den, kdy sbohem dáme temnotám, s monarchy zúčtujem a svoboda přijde k nám. Půjdem hájit právo vzpřímeni, i srdce dáme všanc, naše trikolóra zavlaje a neztratíme glanc, jen ať žije svoboda, život a vlast. Vive la France! Slyš tu píseň zástupů ze slzavého údolí, chcem tady žít, už máme bídy dost i běd a svévolí. Víme jen, že přijde den, kdy sbohem dáme temnotám, s monarchy zúčtujem a svoboda přijde k nám. 😄 CZ
Two weeks ago I had my last day at my job. I had been at this job about five years and have made several great relationships with my customers. Some of my favorite customers was an elderly lady and her husband. They always loved when I came over and would sit on their back porch while I did my work and would talk to me and I could tell over the years that they really appreciated the attention that I was able to give them. The night before my last day I found out her husband passed away. I had bought flowers and made a card and plan to take it over that morning. Once I got there, she wasn’t crying. She was staying very strong and wanted to talk about anything but her husband’s passing. Before it was time to go, she surprised me. Knowing about my music career, she asked if I would sing her a song as we may never see each other again. I nearly broke down in tears. She was not a person by any means, but I had heard this song on my radio on the way to her house. I use this video and sang her this song. I recently learned that she showed it to her family, and they collectively decided to play the video of me singing at her husband‘s funeral. When you sing this song, sing it with intention because it can truly move people. - Mr. C

Lembro bem de mamãe nos ensinando As suas regras pra bem viver Ela nos ensinou que este mundo É pra quem pode, não pra quem quer Quem entrar pela porta de serviço Sem compromisso É um perdedor Mamãezinha, lá no inferno Está escutando Sua cartilha eu sei de cor É... Um vidão, um milhão Eis o que eu vou ter Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Um vidão Quem não quer? Tem que merecer (...) Um vidão, sensação Eu quero poder E gastar sem pensar Corra atrás (Grana nunca é demais) Corra atrás Pra sobreviver (...) Não é justo batalhar por uns trocados Enquanto a órfã tem o melhor Era eu quem devia estar com ele Só no champanhe e caviar Mas talvez ela tenha utilidade Abrindo portas pra o que se quer E depois nos levar pra sociedade Que vida boa nós vamos ter Yeah! Um vidão, um milhão Annie vai nos dar Vai nos dar Vai nos dar Vai nos dar Um vidão, um milhão É o que nós vamos ter

Turn back, O man Forswear thy foolish ways Old now is earth And none may count her days Da da da da da Yet thou, her child Whose head is crowned with flames Still will not hear Thine inner God proclaims Turn back, O man (Is your seat comfortable sir?) Turn back, O man (Mmm, I like that) Turn back, O man (Can you take it?) Forswear thy foolish ways (See ya later I'm going to the front of the thee-AY-ter) Earth might be fair And all men glad and wise Age after age their tragic empires rise Built while they dream And in that dreaming weep Would man but wake From out his haunted sleep Turn back, O man...(i'll say it again) Turn back, O man... (Can you see from where you're sittin'?) Turn back, O man... (Hard as a rock) Forswear thy foolish ways [JESUS] Earth shall be fair And all her people one Not till that hour Shall God's whole will be done Now, even now Once more from earth to sky Peels forth in joy Man's old undaunted cry Earth shall be fair And all her people one [GIBBON] C'mere Jesus, I got something to show ya! [CHORUS] Turn back, oh man Forswear thy foolish ways! Old now is earth And none may count her days Yet thou, her child Whose head is crowned with flames Still will not hear Thine inner God proclaims Turn back, oh man Turn back, oh man Turn back, oh man Forswear thy foolish ways! [GIBBON] Play it honey!
Oh, now I'll never get home! Look! There's someone who can help! Oh Glinda, Glinda will you help me? Can you help me? Can you help me get home? You think you're lost but that's not true You simply lived a dream or two You traveled all this way to find You never left your home behind Home is a place in your heart Every journey leads you back To where you start close your eyes It's very easy You'll find that you're already home We have to finish to begin We have to lose before we win And soon we'll see it isn't far From where we were to where we are Home is a place in your heart Every journey leads you back To where you start Close your eyes it's very easy You'll find that you're already home Home is a place in your heart Every journey leads back to where you start Close your eyes it's very easy You'll find that you're already home Home is a place in your heart Every journey leads you back To where you start Close your eyes it's very easy You find that you're already home Yes there's no place as good as home
Merrell Jackson sang this in 1973 and his voice is so anointed... he is singing with the angels now. I love the original version of the song but this updated version is also beautiful.
I love this musical. It's been my favorite musical since I was a toddler. I have fond memories of me and my mom watching this movie when I was sick or really sad. She has sadly passed away and this is the one movie that can pick me up out of my depression. I've seen the Broadway show few times and whether it's the Broadway show or Annie 1982 or the 1999 version or even the 2014 version it's been one of my favorites I even have Annie live on DVD the little girl who played Annie. Monday was spectacular.
