    Why is the pianist playing so loud? should she sing louder? Why does this pianist hate her?

    No one in history has ever acted so well with just the top quarter of their body standing so still. I am OBSESSED.

    This is the best version I've found of this song. Vocally, she hits it all, but it's definitely her acting that helps bring it over the top. So amazing.

    I guess I can't believe you really came
    And that we're sitting on this pier
    See, I'm smiling
    That means I'm happy that you're here
    I stole this sweater from the costume shop
    It makes me look like Daisy Mae
    See, we're laughing
    I think we're gonna be okay
    I mean, we'll have to try a little harder
    And bend things to and fro
    To make this love as special
    As it was five years ago
    I mean, you made it to Ohio!
    Who knows where else we can go?
    I think you're really gonna like this show
    I'm pretty sure it doesn't suck
    See, you're laughing, and I'm smiling
    By a river in Ohio
    And you're mine
    We're doing fine
    I think we both can see what could be better
    I'll own when I was wrong
    With all we've had to go through
    We'll end up twice as strong
    And so we'll start again this weekend
    And just keep rolling along
    I didn't know you had to go so soon
    I thought we had a little time
    Look, whatever, if you have to
    Then you have to, so whatever
    It's all right
    We'll have tonight
    You know what makes me crazy?
    I'm sorry, can I say this?
    You know what makes me nuts?
    The fact that we could be together here together
    Sharing our night, spending our time
    And you are gonna choose someone else to be with no, you are
    Yes, Jamie, that's exactly what you're doing
    You could be here with me or be there with them
    As usual, guess which you pick!
    No, Jamie, you do not have to go to another party
    With the same twenty jerks you already know
    You could stay with your wife on her fucking birthday
    And you could, God forbid, even see my show
    And I know in your soul it must drive you crazy
    That you won't get to play with your little girlfriends
    No I'm not, no I'm not and the point is, Jamie
    That you can't spend a single day
    That's not about you and you and nothing but you
    Marvelous novelist, you!
    Isn't he wonderful, just twenty-eight!
    The savior of writing!
    You and you and nothing but you
    Miles and piles of you
    Pushing through windows and bursting through walls en route to the sky!
    And I
    I swear to God I'll never understand
    How you can stand there, straight and tall
    And see I'm crying
    And not do anything at all

    I really enjoyed this! She is an amazing actress/singer!
    I just wish she made it slightly more vicious. There were moments of it and i could see it in her eyes but i just wish she pushed it that bit more. I think it was a bit whiny and i really wanted to see the anger seethe out! For me this is the song that makes Cathy a wonderful character as its the point she shows the widest range of emotions!
    But well done! Brava!

    • @kayladelucia3548
      @kayladelucia3548 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      i like it. I don't think it was whiney, i think it was more of a helplessness and feeling of defeat

    • @elireinhart9421
      @elireinhart9421 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4
