It's times like these, when it's midnight and I'm blasting the finale piece from Moulin Rouge and singing along, that I'm glad we don't have any nearby neighbors. I'm also paying far too close attention to the 'children of the revolution' and 'stand your ground' lyrics and the anything's-possible-right-now beat and starting to feel all fluffy-brained and sentimental, which means I'm definitely tired.

Of course, that piece always cheers me up anyway (same with Seize the Day from Newsies. I think I'm just a sap. Or a bohemian at heart. Yeah. I like that one better), but it's different when my vision's starting to blur. A lot easier for me to get all "Whoo-hoo! CHARGE!!!!" Easier to get scared, too, which is why I hate waking up at 4 a.m. when there's nobody else in the room. Or at least nobody else that I know, the mean part of my brain says as soon as my eyes focus on all the shadows. Thought being freaked out by the dark was supposed to go away when you passed age ten. Feh. I'm hoping to avoid that by staying up so late my body goes into complete shutdown until noon.

I do love the 'stand your ground' type lyrics. I never used to do much of that. Coward through and through when it came to saying what I thought. Trying to change that, succeeding in some areas. Ticked a few people off doing it. Some of them I really don't like making mad and it's just a difference of opinion, but others it's . . . well, it's, 'if you like me then I'm doing something wrong here'.

Words are getting blurry but I don't want to go to sleep. Maybe I'll try to figure out a way to put this song on repeat instead of hitting the play button again every five minutes and twenty four seconds. Then I'll just curl up on my office floor and go to sleep because I don't think nightmares are possible when this song's playing.

...Wait. Finale, as in the part where they sing Come What May at the end?

I WANT THAT VERSION!

There's apparently two versions of the soundtrack. One has stuff like Elephant Love Medley and One Day I'll Fly Away and the other has The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular) and some other songs on it. I want the one with Spectacular Spectacular.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

THANK YOU for linking me to that!

I love that song. It's so sad in the finale, and oh my God.

Gah! Moulin Rouge and Newsies and now MY brain is mush with the happy!

No one can make you give your rights away. You just remember that :)

Seize the Day from Newsies always cheers me up too! I was actually about to put it on to help me feel like I can tackle more unpacking, heh. I also really love The World Will Know... I mean, I love the whole thing, but those two get played on repeat some days. Heh. I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses this is perky music. Yay. =)

Definitely "The World Will Know", too. And "Carryin' the Banner" is fun. :-D
