I remember Hunter Parrish was in a movie call Freedom Writers with Hillary Swank. He was the one white kid in the class, who knew where to get marijuana.
So nice to see performers celebrate each other....for besides what many think, most performers are not super confident egomaniacal people who applaud themselves hourly but actually went into performing for the exact opposite reasons. To see whom I assume is a back up singer, on the left, smile with such joy that these 2 legends are singing the song of 2 other legends, is radiating from her face with a smile that is just beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Obviously, love the performance, too!
I remember when Judy Garland and the young kid Barbara Streisand did this . How appropriate that these two greats of musical theater carry on the tradition.
From a Christian standpoint, this is a song about sanctification. It's part and parcel of Gospel, although, admittedly, a part that some Christians ignore. Why would you think that somehow this song requires your finger-wagging as some necessary coda? And isn't the Gospel, in the final analysis, the ULTIMATE warm-and-fuzzy? Your sarcasm about good feelings puzzles me. I seriously doubt that anyone expects a song to save anyone...but a song CAN point toward a way. And for what it's worth, Hunter Parrish is a Christian. Anyway, you could hardly accuse a song that opens with acknowledging human ruin, rubble, and smoke of being overly warm and fuzzy. Seems like a pretty realistic assessment of our brokenness, along with an optimism that sanctified living CAN make a hopeful difference.
This version of "Beautiful City" may be one of the best rewrites in Broadway history. I liked the original, but rewriting the words and switching from the more up-tempo version to more of a ballad was brilliant!
We ADORE this song. We did an unrehearsed cover of songs including this one every day for a year to help spread a little joy during lockdown! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kkItzLmm3ow.html 👬🏻💛
This is just brilliant. So many breathtaking mixes. I'm so in love with you for speaking my language. You are amazing. I am very grateful to you for introducing me to "Raise Me Up" and "Life is a Dancefloor". Happy Easter to you, sir. and Thanks again
This is something that we all need to strive to achieve. We CAN build a city of Man and Woman. We are higher than God's angels and truth be know none of us are angels!
