Share the songs that move you (from musicals).

My wife used to drag me to musicals, until I began to appreciate them. Then I heard a couple songs from CHESS, and I was hooked. My God these two are thematic. I challenge you not to be moved. And the voices of Sissel Kyrkjebo and Tommy Korberg…they give me the chills every time.

I left out “Somewhere,” Leonard Bernstein & Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story, and “Send In the Clowns,” Stephen Sondheim, A Little Night Music.  
I’m sure I’ve still left out a lot more.
