Subject: RE: POWERFUL SONGS THAT MAKE YOU UNEASY?
Sorry to double post, but I just remembered...

speaking of Dusty and eerie songs,

when we were sitting around last night remembering her, Myrlin's downstairs neighbors were playing music quite loudly, and all of a sudden we realized that it was the movie of "Evita"--the first musical Myr and I were in together about ten years ago. Not only that, but the current song was "Another Suitcase in Another Hall," the solo I sang in the show. So of course we started singing it together, and the lyrics were almost eerie in their relevance...

Time and time again I've said that I don't care,
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through;
But every time it matters all my words desert me--
So anyone can hurt me,
And they do...

Call in three months' time and I'll be fine, I know;
Well, maybe not that fine...but I'll survive, anyhow.
I won't recall the names and places of this sad occasion;
But that's no consolation,
Here and now. * Very, very eerie. But fitting.

Molly
