      +Josh Tanzer And it's fantastic, it's one of my favorite CDs that I own! Plus, it gives us that fantastic cover of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"! However, I agree that he should release another album of musical theatre covers, I would buy it the day it came out!

      ​@@tabithaokitsu3813 Yeah, he's definitely got a lot of additional range on top of this. He only goes up to an A4 here, which is super comfortable for a tenor (as demonstrated by how well he manages it and is also likely why he chose that key).

    As long as he needs me
    Oh, yes, he does need me
    In spite of what you see
    I'm sure that he needs me
    Who else would love him still
    When they've been used so ill?
    He knows I always will
    As long as he needs me
    I miss him so much when he is gone
    But when he's near me
    I don't let on
    The way I feel inside
    The love I have to hide
    The hell! I've got my pride
    As long as he needs me
    He doesn't say the things he should
    He acts the way he thinks he should
    But all the same
    I'll play this game
    His way...
    As long as he needs me
    I know where I must be
    I'll cling on steadfastly
    As long as he needs me
    As long as life is long
    I'll love him right or wrong
    And somehow I'll be strong
    As long as he needs me
    If you are lonely
    Then you will know
    When someone needs you
    You love them so
    I won't betray his trust
    Though people say I must
    I've got to stay true, just
    As long as he needs me

    I can't speak for anyone else, but as a child, I loved the hell out of this song the first time I heard it. Same as "What's the Use of Wond'rin'" from Carousel. And so many others. I wonder if gays are so used to being told (either subliminally or straight to our faces) that they are not worthy of love or even of living that I latched onto songs like this. The whole idea that no matter what he does, I will love him, in the hopes that the same is true for me. Just thinking when I should be going to sleep, LOL.

    I discovered Aaron right here, looking for differents vertions of this absolute wonderfull song. First reaction was of recognition just because of him choosing what was understood as a song for women performers and doing it without changes to become it suitable for a man. My second thought was of admiration as I thought he was a gay man openly assuming that and giving a new dimention to the song itself. Not much time ago I discovered he was not and it hightened my admiration for his freedom at the moment of singing whatever he likes. This being said, I think this vertion of the song is one of the best I've the chance of enjoying: the minimal gesticulation, the crescendo in his voice, I think he nails it. Big fan of Aaron since then. He does everything brilliant. I hope one day he can sing Anthony Newly songs What kind of fool am I and Where can I turn to, two absolute masterpieces deserving new life. Sorry everyone for my poor english.

      The original pop recording did and it was very successful. The song works either way.

      It's great he doesn't. But that's the whole point of Miscast anyway, isn't it.

    As long as he needs me
    Oh, yes, he does need me
    In spite of what you see
    I'm sure that he needs me
    Who else would love him still
    When they've been used so ill
    He knows I always will
    As long as he needs me
    I miss him so much when he is gone
    But when he's near me
    I don't let on
    The way I feel inside
    The love I have to hide
    The Hell! I've got my pride
    As long as he needs me
    He doesn't say the things he should
    He acts the way he thinks she should
    But, all the same
    I'll play this game his way
    As long as he needs me
    I know where I must be
    I'll cling on steadfastly
    As long as he needs me
    As long as life is long
    I'll love him, right or wrong
    And, somehow, I'll be strong
    As long as he needs me
    If you are lonely, then you will know
    When someone needs you, you love them so
    I won't betray his trust
    Though people say I must
    I've got to stay true, just
    As long as he needs me

    Not about "unrequited love." It's about compulsory love for those that need you by those that can do it. Not easy. Universally misunderstood. Rare.

    I remember seeing Shani Wallis do this at the Playboy Club in 1971. After seeing Aaron it, it makes ever-so-much-more sense to me emotionally.
