Anyone know why the new BARE the Musical is completely different from BARE: a pop opera?
Either way they are both devastating and have filled my life with unnecessary and yet profoundly beautiful pain.
A Quiet Night At Home
There are very few songs that make me wish I was a woman (not that being a woman is bad in any way of looking at it, but I just really love male solos). There are a lot of songs that make we wish I hadn’t been born with skin as pasty white as beluga whale; but if I had been born a woman, I would sing this song every night. I just can’t stand how beautiful it is. The pure emotion of it. The mix of self-image problems, and God’s love, and never understanding what it is like to be like everyone else. I think most people can relate to that. We all know what it is like to feel lonely sometimes. And what it feel like to think that there is nothing we can do to help ourselves, because we should be confident, and we should love ourselves. But it is hard sometimes when the people around you give you no reason to be optimistic. Anyway, the song is wonderful and truly powerful… to me anyway.
P.S. there is dialogue before the song in the video, so the song starts at about 1:24 ish.
Peter from Bare: A Pop Opera is now officially on my list of dream roles. This is him singing a song with his mother in the show:
That song kills me inside. But yes, he and I are the same voice range, same body type, and certainly have very similar emotional backgrounds. I love this character and one day I really hope to be able to play him :)
