Oh Let Me The Part Of The Narrative

oh let me the part of the narrative

I’m a bit late, but top 5 saddest musical theatre songs?

You’re not late at all! Don’t worry!

Doubt Comes In (Hadestown)

I was bawling my eyes out at the end of this song. I honestly had so much hope even though I knew what would happen in the end.

“It’s you.”

“It’s me.”

Gets me every time.

2. It’s Not A Game/It’s Just A Ride (Ride the Cyclone)

For this song, it’s the beginning that hits me the hardest. Especially when watching the boot. Just to see how much everyone (*cough* Ocean *cough*) has changed and to see how accepting they’ve all become is just so, gosh I can’t think of a word for it. But it’s just great. The montage of Penny Lamb’s life along with them singing had me crying so much. The last bit of the song makes me ugly cry. Seeing their acceptance and how they’re all going to stick together is so lovely (I can’t think of any other word for it lol).

3. Winter Blooms (Alice By Heart)

Such a beautiful song. But man, did it have me crying. Alice’s acceptance? The metaphors? Oh gosh, it’s so good.

4. Afternoon (Alice By Heart)

Once again, a beautiful song, but it makes me so sad at the same time. After all that Alice and Alfred had been through, it was time for him to go. The don’t/won’t you remember, gets me. Because, to me, he’s kind of saying, “Won’t you remember everything we’ve done?”, because they won’t be able to go on any more adventures. When I think about that, it makes the song even sadder.

5. Before the Breakdown (We Are The Tigers)

It doesn’t make me cry, but it definitely is kind of sad. All of these girls have struggles. The lines,

“But you could never ever be better than you.”

”Someday you'll grow up just like you should.”

Hit me like a truck. But, I guess that’s what makes the song sad right? It is called Before the Breakdown after all.

what are your top five musicals?

Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812

This is my most favorite musical of all time tbh. The way everything’s executed is just *chefs kiss*.

2. Ride The Cyclone

This musical is also great. I can see why it’s gained so much traction lately. The music, the acting, character development (*cough* Ocean *cough*), the creativity of it all? Amazing.

3. Alice By Heart

Another musical about grief/loss and growing up? Sign me up! I had heard about this musical for some time and I’m so glad that I listened to it. The songs are so amazing.

4. Heathers: The Musical

A bit lower on the list, but that doesn’t make it any less good. The songs, the acting, they’re great! The musical’s a bit on the darker side, but it’s great nonetheless.

5. Dear Evan Hansen

Now, I know the main character isn’t the greatest, but the songs still slap. The acting, singing, set, all good. It’s all pretty good except for the plot kinda being messed up.

Oak Onaodowan as Pierre Bezhukov in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812.

Hi you have really good taste in musicals!! If you haven’t yet, I definitely think you should listen to Bare :) it’s one of my favs and it def seems like something you’d be into haha!!

Thank you! I’ll definitely check that out!

There’s just something so comforting about Those Long Eyes (from Alice By Heart). I can’t put my finger on it, it’s just so comforting.
