Official Lyrics: Sometimes late at night there's a lonely girl Hiding from the shadows of the day Weeping in her sheets for this lonely world For she can't find her way Sometimes late at night she is wide awake Ready to transcend this world and soon Rising from her bed, she knows who she is And at once becomes the moon. Now, she's rising, floating, flying. For a moment she is free As she's floating, flying, drifting away I can see she's not me Every single day I drift through my life, Aching for the freedom of the sky. Everything I am is in that lonely moon And I long to show her why For she's rising, floating, flying! For a moment she is free. As she's floating, flying, drifting away I can see she's not me. How I long to follow her And long to ride the wind, I know I can not hold her down. She is free, yet frozen there And I cannot compare. For she is floating As I drown. Sometimes late at night there's a lonely girl Aching for the freedom of the sky...
I'm really excited that work is still being done on this musical. This song was absolutely beautiful. I know I speak for the rising fanbase when I say we look forward to hearing more.
Thank you! We never stopped - just went through some creative team changes, which resulted in a whole new book and title change. It's a MUCH stronger, more emotional show and I can not wait for the world to hear the entire score!! :-)
Michael's recent IG live with Sierra brought me here again. I adore Sierra and her singing. And I've loved this musical for almost 3 years now. I really hope it gets on stage some day. Hopefully with Sierra and Jeremy.
I know I've commented on this already, but this is one of my absolute favorite Sierra Boggess performances. That says a lot about the song I think. I always come back to this when I am listening to her. Kinda like I always end up w Life on Mars when I am listening to Bowie. Apples and Oranges, but I hope you get the picture.
I keep repeating this over and over and over again and again and again. This is so beautiful!! Sierra is the new Barbara Streisand for me. Please put 'She is Not Me' in your repertoire, if you still present at 54 Below.
They are still working on it, and trying to raise money to make a studio recording of all the songs with Jeremy Jordan! They have an Indiegogo campaign that people can donate to through Jan 30!
I haven't heard Melody and Haunting in a song like this since the Secret Garden. Many have tried. This does it. Even without Sierra who is her usually mesmerizing self, this is an incredible piece of music on it's own.
Speechless and trying to find a way to properly express how amazing this song is and how amazing Sierra is performing it. It's like every song she sings is made JUST for her! She is indescribably talented. Wow. 🤯
I keep coming back to these recordings of in the light, it is by far my favourite musical score, I cannot wait to hopefully see at least a album of the whole musical available for purchase
this Song is so good. I miss the Prolog Video :( I'm sad you took it down. Now I fear I might never listen to it ever again, cause I can't find any news to this musical, so I think it probably got cancelled :'(
Sometimes late at night there's a lonely girl Hiding from the shadows of the day Weeping in her sheets for this lonely world For she can't find her way Sometimes late at night she is wide awake Ready to transcend this world and soon Rising from her bed, she knows who she is And at once becomes the moon No, she's rising, floating, flying For a moment she is free And she's floating, flying, drifting away I can see she's not me Every single day I drift from my life Aching for the freedom of the sky Everything I am is in that lonely moon And I long to show her why Oh she's rising, floating, flying For a moment she is free And she's floating, flying, drifting away I can see she's not me How I long to have saw her there And come to have brightened when And now I cannot hold her down She is free and frozen there And I cannot compare For she is floating As I drown Sometimes late at night there's a lonely girl Aching for the freedom of the sky
Euraiamae Mitsui I haven’t released it. It’s been rewritten as the show has been undergoing changes. We will release a professional recording once the show is up and running. Hopefully soon!!
@@MichaelMottComposer Oh okay, hopefully you will still pick Sierra to do the recording. HAHA! SO LOVE THE SONG 😍 - will patiently wait for it. One more thing, thank you for creating such beautiful song. 😊
Cierra The story copied from his website “IN THE LIGHT follows Dr. Johann Faustus who is accused by and on the run from the Holy Inquisition. With the help of a mysterious Traveler, Faustus and his wife, Ana find sanctuary in the court of the newly crowned Baron and his betrothed, Gretchen, who promise to protect him, until Dr. Faustus makes a decision that threatens to destroy all he loves. This sweeping contemporary musical score by Michael Mott reflects the tension and passion of the epic legend of Faust.” . Jeremy is Johann, Teal is Ana, Sierra is Gretchen, Ryan is the Traveler, and Jason is the Baron.
I was just contacted by a young singer who introduced me to this song via this link. It's amazing. I am making a piano backing track for her. Happy to make it available to you once ready! You can contact me through my website: marilynwhipple.com/
