I Don't Know How to Love Him
What's the Buzz?
Everything's All Right
Could We Start Again Please?
This Jesus Must Die
Superstar
These are my top songs!
I must warn you. I'm very susceptible to flattery.
All of Pilates's songs, Judas's Damned For All Time and Heaven on Their Minds. But the best song is Jesus Christ, Superstar; it captures the essence of the film and is just a terrific anthem.
The distance is nothing. The first step is the hardest.share
"Heaven on Their Minds" (great lyrics and a beautiful melody), with the "trials and tribulations" part of "The Last Supper" as a runner-up.
That said, there are very few songs in it that I don't like.
My favorite song is Simon Zealotes, it's so powerful and I have a thing for trumpets so I love it and the tight up 'Poor Jerusalem' makes it even more awesome.
Other favs are Superstar, Heaven On Their Minds, What's the Buzz, Hosanna and Gethsemane.
No creerÃas las cosas que he hecho por ella.
Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say) is off-the charts, the way Ted Neely does it. Goose bumps! He is so good in this movie but particularly in this scene. (Carl Anderson is really good too.) For singing along, I Don't Know How To Love Him is a favorite. I also really like the song they added for the movie, Can We Start Again Please. But honestly, I love them all, so I'll stop now.

I love Jesus Christ and am 100% proud!
Superstar, hands down. It's the soaring emotional and musical climax of the entire film.
Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar and doesn't.
45 years ago, my cousin introduced me to this movie. She was like my sister and we grew up together. She was smart, funny, beautiful. Plus she was the prom queen and graduated at the top of her class, in high school and college. She had everything going for her, but drugs happened, and she died two years ago.
Tonight, I watched the movie on TCM for the first time since her death, and when "Could We Start Again Please?" played, I cried like a child. For me, THAT'S the song from here on out.
I really love John 19:41. I know it's largely a reprise of Gethsemane, but the soaring string line is maybe the most inspired idea for arrangement Lloyd Webber's had. (Assuming it was actually his.)
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
