I really enjoy the different characters that show their vulnerable selves as they audition to be part of the play. It has that whole dream within a dream (insert word to replace thing but akin to motif) thing (strike when the word is found). As I was sifting through the self that I see and know, the lyrics to 'What I Did For Love' seemed to make sense to me for some reason.
Kiss the day goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
And I can't regret what I did for love, what I did for love
Look my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
But I won't forget what I did for love, what I did for love
Gone, love is never gone
And we carry on, love's what we'll remember
Kiss the day goodbye
And point me t'ward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't regret, can't forget what I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
And I can't regret what I did for love, what I did for love
Look my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
But I won't forget what I did for love, what I did for love
Gone, love is never gone
And we carry on, love's what we'll remember
Kiss the day goodbye
And point me t'ward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't regret, can't forget what I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love
A Chorus Line is such a profound piece of theatre. For one, it really shows the different kinds of hungry artists there are out there looking for a break. Deals alot with human nature, artistic struggle and just life period. And the music is funky. Loves it...but hates that cast album. Nobody sang it like the original bitches. They were so fierce! *snaps
