Favorite song?

Edelweiss. When I was a kid I didn't like it at all, but, as I got older it all connected with me somehow.

The Sound of Music

Earth without art is just "eh."

Do-Re-Me

Do Re Me

Eidelweiss. I also really like the acappella version of The Sound of Music that the children sing to the Baroness. I agree with Julie Andrews that the version on the hillside sounds wildly high now, but that was the period. I love the harmonies in the quieter version.

I have always hated Climb Every Mountain until Lady Gaga sang it at the Oscars. It's just loud and shrill in the movie, and it was loud and shrill in the "Sound of Music - Live!" production. Lady Gaga brought out more melody.

Worst song by miles is "I Have Confidence". Lonely Goatherd is a strange song, but it's fun. The staging of Do Ri Me is incredible in the movie.

One of the reasons I was so disappointed with the movie, when I was taken to see it, as a child, was that my two favorite songs from the score (which I'd grown up on, with the original Broadway cast album) were nowhere to be found in the movie. Those songs were "How Can Love Survive" and "No Way To Stop It." Also cut from the score was the lovely "An Ordinary Couple," which was replaced by the rather inane "Something Good." They also added in the unnecessary and kind of awful "Confidence in Me." When I finally got to see the full show, as originally written and performed (a version that almost never gets performed these days), I realized that there were so many unfortunate changes made for the movie. I can still appreciate so much about the movie, but it's a terrible shame it is so much less than it could have been.







Just make a movie that makes me care, one way or another. I'm open.
