Finding Neverland, il nuovo musical di successo di Broadway scritto dal celebre drammaturgo James Graham e diretto da Diane Paulus, dispone da qualche giorno anche di un album contenente tutte le canzoni cantate e suonate in teatro. Il musical è ispirato all’omonimo film del 2004 ma le musiche sono completamente diverse: Gary Barlow ed Eliot Kennedy si sono occupati dei testi e delle musiche dell’intera colonna sonora dell’opera.
L’album è un vero e proprio capolavoro in quanto racchiude ottimi brani cantati da diversi artisti di un certo calibro: Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Gary Barlow, Jon Bon Jovi, John Legend, i Goo Goo Dolls, etc…
Uno dei brani che preferisco è Something about this night di cui in rete non si riesce a trovare il testo (o lyrics se preferite). Ho pensato, quindi, di aggiungerlo io sul mio blog…
Something about this night (Written by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy)
I can see them,
see them forming perfect lines,
Ladies dressed up to the nines,
gentlemen and philistines,
I can hear them
everyone’s a critic here,
whispering it loud and clear,
is this the failure of the year?
Oh, in any other career
you would know,
know where you’re going to
in any other career they would
show you respect
Oh, but here they’re never going to
Something about this night
That you just can’t forget,
they sip champagne, smoke cigarettes
win or lose you wouldn’t bet
‘cause there is something
About this night,
all actors call to one,
chorus line, prepare for song,
is it too late to change everyone?
There’s only one night to impress
Unreasonable expectaions
Something about this night,
something about this night
I can see them
reaching for their daggers now,
hoping I would land face down,
ready to paint me as a clown,
I can feel them
Yawning , calling for the end,
oh, they’re sharpening their pens
using all my blood instead of ink
oh, in any other career
you would know
know where you’re going to,
in any other career they would
show you respect,
oh but here they’re never going to.
Something about this night
That you just can’t forget
Thwy sip champagne, smok cigarettes
Win or lose you wouldn’t bet
‘cause there is something
About this night
All actors call to one
Chorus line, prepare for song,
is it too late to change everyone?
There’s only one night to impress
Unreasonable expectations,
something about this night
sometheng about this night
it’s a fight, it’s a shove
it’’s a lobour of love,
it’s a journey o know where
you’ve seen,
It’s over, it’s thankless,
I’ve taken my chances,
does anyone know what I mean?
If there’s ever a time I should stay low
If there’s evere a ime I should say no
Waiting for six hundred people
To make up their minds,
Is why there’s something about
This night
‘cause there is something
About this night
That you just can’t forget,
they sip champagne, smok cigarettes
win or lose you wouldn’t bet
‘cause there is something about this night
All actors call to one
Chorus line, prepare for song
Is it too late to change everyone?
There’s only one night to impress
Unreasonable expctations
Something about this night
Something about this night
With only one night to address
Unreasonable expectations
Something about this night
Something about this night
There’s something about this night
