It's on my Sirius videos this morning. It's such a beautiful song especially during a time when many don't profess a belief in live after death or love going on.
His cd was played at the family get together yesterday, and I liked hearing them so much, I'm putting his songs on my MP3 player. His anniversary Cd is one of the best presents I've ever gotten.
I discovered this guy quite by accident today on a compilation I got with a magazine. I was suitably impressed with his "Street Lights" but sadly can't find a video for it. Here is his "Love Vibration" though...
From his "Born in the U.S." album. I love this song and his live performances. He and his band really know how to rock a crowd especially Clarence Clemons on that saxophone.
Can't find a YouTube video for the song. No surprise there! When it comes to The Fantasticks, most people think of "Try To Remember", "Soon It's Gonna Rain", or even "I Can See It". But not "Metaphor". That's a pity. It's such a lovely little love song.
Love! You are love!
Better far than a metaphor
Can ever, ever be.
Love! You are love!
My mystery of love!
By the by, one of the original cast members was a young, nearly-unknown actor by the name of Jerry Orbach. And The Fantasticks was the second-longest-running play in the world. It was the longest-running musical in the world, and the longest-running play of any kind in the USA. It opened in May of 1960, and ran nonstop until January of 2002. That's more than 40 years! The only play to run longer anywhere in the world is The Mousetrap which opened in London, in November of 1952, and is still running!!
Lord, you have filled my cup so full,
How can I fear tomorrow?
