Re:Re:Re:Re:Re:Phantom of the Opera
You're very funny Selva. If you keep giggling like that, people are going to want you to share your "medication" with them. What's going on? Have you been having a lot of dental work? :-D
You really don't need to know the titles of the songs at all. Any little snippet of the words that happens to stick with you will be much more useful. Try searching for this string: Where in the world have you been hiding? Really you were perfect. It'll probably work better if you don't put it all in quotes. This will bring up the song called "Angel of Music." If you tried searching for "Angel of Music," you'd probably get so many sites about Greek mythology or new age spiritualism that you'll have a terrible time pulling out anything that has anything to do with Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical.
Of course, once you've found the words to one song, you'll probably find a bunch of them all together, if not all of them. So you'll get all of the titles of all of the songs anyway, fairly quickly.
If you just don't have any snippets of the songs swimming in your head, don't worry; I've got plenty. Try some of these:
The Phantom of the opera is there in side your mind
Prima donna first lady of the stage
Think of me once in a while please promise me you'll try
What I love best asleep in my bed and the angel of music sings songs in my head
Turn your face away from the garish light of day and listen to the music of the night
Say you'll love me every waking moment turn my head with talk of summertime
Masquerade every face a different shade
In sleep he sang to me in dreams he came
If these don't find you the whole batch, I'm a Prussian sailor.
Anyway, I hope you have a great week at school, and I look forward to helping you out with the lyrics next weekend. But watch that giggling—I hear it can be contagious…

Re:Re:Re:Phantom of the Opera
Yes, it is sad and haunting and beautiful. It was a while ago I read the novel, and I remember enjoying reading it very much. But I don't remember what was in the beginning at all. I imagine it may have been rather dull. That would sure explain why I don't remember.
Yes, I remember looking at the trailer for the movie and being delighted to see that the music was based on ALW's score. He is brilliant and I loved the entire musical from beginning to end, which is really something to say. Most musicals, there are at least one or two songs that you just want to skip when you come to them. Not in Phantom of the Opera. It totally rocks.
Don't feel too bad about missing lines here and there. Maybe English being a second language for you has something to do with it, but don't count on it. We native speakers always have parts we can't figure out. We often make things up that sound right and aren't. I put a post about these misheard song lyrics, called "Mondegreens" over in the Slang/Expressions board. I hope people find it fun to read.
Anyway, if you are inclined to do some web searching, you'll have no trouble finding the lyrics to the songs. I find that it works better to look for a unique line from the song, rather than searching for the song title. That way, you're more likely to find more actual copies of the lyrics and fewer sites that simply talk about the song without telling you what the words are. So instead of searching for "Prima Donna", for example, I search for, "Prima Donna first lady of the stage," to make sure it pulls up actual lyrics.
Let me know if I can still be helpful to you in understanding the music once you know what the words actaully are. That's something I like to think I could actually do a better job of than the Internet. :-)

Re:Phantom of the Opera
I agree completely. It's a haunting, eerie story, and my favorite version so far was the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical. I could listen to that sound track for months on end.
Bravi! Bravi! Bravissimo!
I haven't seen the movie yet. I really hope they do it justice. Let me know what you think, selva!
