Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure
Oct. 16th, 2017 08:47 pmI cringe from time to time admitting I like the songs from the Snoopy musical.
In general, I'm not a musical person; I think Sondheim's Sweeney Todd has a lot of bits I like, and my brother taught me to get into Chess (even though I never saw the production), but I grew up thinking a lot of musicals are relatively cheesy (though I also admit that I wrote the script to a concept musical where all I played was Barenaked Ladies songs since I felt it was really easy to build around). The thing is that if someone found those on my playlist, I don't think people would bat an eye as much if they didn't know me.
But yeah, a musical? And The Snoopy musical at that? Whenever it hits my playlist on the street, I fidget uncomfortably in case someone else can hear it.
And then I eat it all up. "The Vigil" is probably what carries the soundtrack for me.
I may be a sucker for the orchestral background too with that horn backing the vocals. The voice of Lucy barely holding her laughter in the delivery is a nice touch too.
And by the way, it's pumpkin!
