Everytime i hear this song i think of me and my best friend and how far away we are from each other and how we wish we could just fly to each other like a cloud...
Robyn Landis Sutton Foster is a two-time Tony winner (Thoroughly Modern Millie and Anything Goes), although she's been nominated for four other Tonys, and she's currently starring on TV's Younger. Megan McGinnnis also Broadway experience, and she's currently starring in the world premiere musical of Sense and Sensibility at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre (I just saw her there as Marianne Dashwood last night). The song, as the title of the video mentions, is "Flight" by Craig Carnelia.
+Robyn Landis It's worth checking .out the many other wonderful songs by Craig Carnelia, as well as other performances from these two talented theater actresses
America you are so lucky to have Sutton!! I'm so jealous of anyone who has seen her live and I deeply envy all of you who have met her. Such a stunning song, I love it
To clear a few thing up that have been swirling in the comments: (1) Flight is not from a larger body of work, i.e. a musical, song cycle, etc. (2) It was originally written for a male voice (his own - and no one sings it like he does) (3) the arrangement for two voices is an arrangement that Sutton Foster's musical director did for her and it is not published.
The other lyrics are wrong! I made some corrections. Hopefully this is helpful. MEGAN MCGINNIS: Let me run through a field in the night Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight SUTTON FOSTER: Let me sway like the shade of a tree Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea Wish me on my way MEGAN MCGINNIS: Through the dawning day BOTH: I Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill Wanna grow in a grove On the side of a hill MEGAN MCGINNIS: I don't care if the train runs late If the checks don't clear If the house blows down SUTTON FOSTER: I'll be off where the weeds run wild Where the seeds fall far from this Earthbound town BOTH: And I'll start to soar! Watch me rain till I pour I'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray Get caught in a wind, I'll just have to obey Time flying away! Ah Ah Ah Ah SUTTON FOSTER: Let me leave behind MEGAN MCGINNIS: All the clouds in my mind BOTH: I Wanna wake without wondering why Finding myself in a burst for the sky! Ah! I'll just roll! SUTTON FOSTER: Let me lose all control MEGAN MCGINNIS: I Wanna float like a wish in a well Free as the sound of the sea in a shell BOTH: I don't know But maybe I'm just a fool MEGAN MCGINNIS: I should keep to the ground BOTH: I should stay where I'm at Maybe everyone has hunger like this And the hunger will pass But I can't think like that SUTTON FOSTER: All I know is somewhere through a clearing MEGAN MCGINNIS: (Somewhere there's sunlight) SUTTON FOSTER: There's a flickering of sunlight on a river long and wide BOTH: And I have such a river inside! Let me run through a field in the night! Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight! Let me sway like the shade of a tree! Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea! SUTTON FOSTER: Wish me on my way MEGAN MCGINNIS: Wish me on my way SUTTON FOSTER: Through the dawning day BOTH: I Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill SUTTON FOSTER: Wanna grow on the side of a hill MEGAN MCGINNIS: Wanna shift like a wave rolling on BOTH: Wanna drift from the path I've been traveling upon Before I am gone
Some of these comments are quite amusing. I had the distinct honor of studying with Craig Carnelia for 2 years and he changed my life as a performer. The song featured here, "Flight", is most certainly one of his greatest compositions and I had his blessing to sing it in my first solo show in New York City.
Thank you a million times for posting these videos. It is so nice to be able to see this- living so far from the city can truly be the pits sometimes...
You can find the songbook "The Songs of Craig Carnelia" for sale at sheetmusicplus-dot-com. The original version of "Flight " is included (in his key of course) .
@megshipp i don't think it's published yet. this arrangement was only written in '09 and the only way i got it was through people in "the biz". But yeh as far as i know it's not yet published, sorry!
It was already around but the arrangement was done for Sutton and Megan I believe - don't quote me on that though I may be wrong. Suttons part is harder because it goes lower and has the melody less frequently
Let me run through a field in the night Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight. Let me sway like the shade of a tree Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea. Wish me on my way Through the dawning day I, Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill Wanna grow, wanna grow On the side of a hill. I don't care if the train runs late If the checks won't clear If the house blows down. I'll be off where the weeds run wild Where the seeds fall far from this Earthbound town. And I'll start to soar! Watch me rain til I pour out! I'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray Get caught in a wind and I'll just have to obbey time Time flying away! Flight! Ah Ah Ah Let me leave behind All the clouds in my mind I Wanna wake without wondering why Finding myself for a burst for the sky! Flight! Flight! I'll just roll! Let me lose all control I Wanna float like a wish in a well Free as the sound of the sea in a shell I don't know But maybe I'm just a fool I should keep to the ground I should stay where I'm at Maybe everyone has hunger like this And the hunger will pass But I can't think like that All I know is that somewhere in a clearing (somewhere) There's a grain of sunlight on a river long and wide And I have such a river inside! Let me run through a field in the night! Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight! Let me sway like the shade of a tree! Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea! Wish me on my way! (wish me on my way) Through the dawning day I Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill Wanna grow on the side of a hill Wanna shift like a wave going on Wanna drift from the path I've been traveling upon Before I am gone.
I'm literally balling right now the harmonies are just to beautiful #theaterkidproblems
me atm :.)
The unison in the last part was breathtaking ♥️
0:26 is when the song starts for those of us learning it ❤️
Kaeldra Caton Thank you!!! Me and a friend are looking for something to do during this virus
this is absolutely beautiful. my choir is learning the choral version of this song, and it’s definitely hard, but beautiful. good work!
Texas all state yippee
This is so beautiful. I love the words, I love the harmonies. The whole song is perfect but I especially love 2:42 through 3:09... powerful.
Everytime i hear this song i think of me and my best friend and how far away we are from each other and how we wish we could just fly to each other like a cloud...
They are SO incredible that it sounds exactly like the recording. Exceptional.
A fantastic performance of just one of Craig's wonderful songs.
Wow--who are those girls? Gorgeous voices! And amazing song...what is the name of the song? I would like to read the lyrics.

Heard someone sing this and was in love. Hearing Sutton did it...she's my idol through and through
I love Sutton Foster so much she is my idol.
America you are so lucky to have Sutton!! I'm so jealous of anyone who has seen her live and I deeply envy all of you who have met her. Such a stunning song, I love it
Their voices together sound so fantastic together!!!!! I wish i could sound lke a least one of them.
I’ve cried to this so many times. But it also uplifts me in a way that I can’t explain.

I can't breathe, this is GORGEOUS!
Stunning arrangement.
I cry every single time I watch this video. And I watch it A LOT.
I have heard so many versions of this song, and this is by far the best! You two are just fantastic!
Wow 😍
This is truly amazing. it made me cry because it is so beautiful, and that does not happen often.... amazing job!

MEGAN MCGINNIS:
Let me run through a field in the night

Let me sway like the shade of a tree
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea
Wish me on my way
MEGAN MCGINNIS:
Through the dawning day
BOTH:
I
Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill
Wanna grow in a grove
On the side of a hill
MEGAN MCGINNIS:
I don't care if the train runs late

I'll be off where the weeds run wild
Where the seeds fall far from this
Earthbound town

Beautiful! I love when Sutton points at Megan at the end.

Same here! I'm looking into singing this for a recital. If I don't hear back I'll just have to transpose it myself.
Everytime i'm listening to this, i'm crying :(

Let me run through a field in the night
Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight.
Let me sway like the shade of a tree
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea.
Wish me on my way
Through the dawning day I,
Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill
Wanna grow, wanna grow
On the side of a hill.
I don't care if the train runs late
If the checks won't clear
If the house blows down.
I'll be off where the weeds run wild
Where the seeds fall far from this
Earthbound town.
And I'll start to soar!
Watch me rain til I pour out!
I'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray
Get caught in a wind and I'll just have to obbey time
Time flying away!
Flight!
Ah
Ah
Ah
Let me leave behind
All the clouds in my mind I
Wanna wake without wondering why
Finding myself for a burst for the sky!
Flight!
Flight!
I'll just roll!
Let me lose all control I
Wanna float like a wish in a well
Free as the sound of the sea in a shell
I don't know
But maybe I'm just a fool
I should keep to the ground
I should stay where I'm at
Maybe everyone has hunger like this
And the hunger will pass
But I can't think like that
All I know is that somewhere in a clearing (somewhere)
There's a grain of sunlight on a river long and wide
And I have such a river inside!
Let me run through a field in the night!
Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight!
Let me sway like the shade of a tree!
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea!
Wish me on my way! (wish me on my way)

Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill
Wanna grow on the side of a hill
Wanna shift like a wave going on
Wanna drift from the path

Before I am gone.
it's not from anything. Craig Carnilia just wrote it and published it. kind of like girl in 14g
You know, I actually think in this version they're a lot better than the others....
Have you the sheet with the two voices? Cause i was searching it for months too, please, tell me where you found it *__* Thanks(L)
Is there any way I could possibly have/purchase this arrangement of Flight from Mr. Rafter? My daughter is dying to do this duet.
what key do they sing it in?? how many steps on musicnotes do i have to transpose it to be in the same key they're singing it in?
Noteflight. Get a free account. Browse. Look up Sutton Foster. it's there
do you still have the music? :) xx
I have the sheet, If you still need it :)
Liana Davtyan do you still have the sheet music to this?
Bryanna Plaisir what he said ^
I would really like it too pretty please, if that's ok?
Could I possibly have the music too?
man this arrangement ruins the original song for me its so good
We loved this song so much we made our own version, with a music video! (just for fun)
What do you think..?
