sinkwriterI like a variety of music.
I can listen to pop music one day, jazz the next, then opera, or punk cabaret, or classical, or Broadway, or rock 'n roll... it all depends on my mood.
Today?
I cannot stop listening to "At The Ballet" from A Chorus Line as covered by Sarah Jessica Parker and 3 cast members from Glee (Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer and Lea Michele).
In looking up the screen version of that long popular Broadway show, it seems the film came out when I was 13 years old. Talk about an impressionable time!
I can remember being thrilled by the dance numbers, wishing I could move like that, wishing I could take a dance class, yet also being scared of the politics and the physical judgment that goes with performing in such a field. Mainly, though, I just wanted to be able to sing beautiful songs like they did.
It's been a long, long time since I've seen that movie (and that stage production); yet, in listening to these new performers recapture an amazing song with gorgeous harmonies, I can't help but feel such nostalgia and yearning to sing again.
I can't stop listening to this song. They did a fantastic job with it.
