People choose this song for their weddings. Have they ever listened to the lyrics? The title may be appropriate but the sentiment really isn't. My fave from a soundtrack of favorite songs. I have the JCM anf NPH versions of the soundtrack. Seen the film multiple times but not the stage play.
There used to be a recording of him performing My Girl Back Home with Kelli O’Hara after he replaced Matthew Morrison, but it doesn’t seem to be on RU-vid anymore! A tragedy, because he sings circles around Morrison
I love her interpretation. Definitive. It expresses my feeling about the man I married in 2021, Francisco (born in Mexico, so the reference to Mexico is a special touch). This was the song I selected for a friend to sing at the blessing ceremony of our marriage last August.
This is heartache. and the wants and wishes of a DO OVER. It is REAL. If you peel back the layers of this and you have been in a place of deep hurt and regret of lost love.... TOM wrote that on paper. This is a masterclass. She is INCREDIBLE. I LOVE LOVE HER VIBRATO. It just sets her apart!
0:28 Let me run through a field in the night Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight Let me sway like the shade of a tree Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea Wish me on my way Through the dawning day I, Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill Wanna grow, wanna grow On the side of a hill 0:59 I don't care if the train runs late If the checks won't clear If the house blows down I'll be off where the weeds run wild Where the seeds fall far from this Earthbound town 1:13 And I'll start to soar! Watch me rain till I pour out! I'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray Get caught in a wind and I'll just have to obey Time flying away! Flight! Ah Ah Ah 1:53 Let me leave behind All the clouds in my mind I Wanna wake without wondering why Finding myself in a burst for the sky! Ah Ah 2:22 I'll just roll! Let me lose all control I Wanna float like a wish in a well Free as the sound of the sea in a shell I don't know 2:39 But maybe I'm just a fool I should keep to the ground I should stay where I'm at Maybe everyone has hunger like this And the hunger will pass But I can't think like that 2:54 All I know is that somewhere thru' a clearing There's a flickering of sunlight on a river long and wide And I have such a river inside! 3:09 Let me run through a field in the night! Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight! Let me sway like the shade of a tree! Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea! Wish me on my way! Through the dawning day I 3:30 Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill Wanna grow on the side of a hill Wanna shift like a wave going on Wanna drift from the path I've been traveling upon Before I am gone…
This is kind of embarrassing for me to write but a few years ago when I was younger I used to think that when people talked about her belting they were actually talking about her belt and I was so confused but now I know they were talking about her musical 'belt' :)
