I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
went to watch phantom of the opera on tue at esplanade with sam, my sis and her fren. well, i have to say that i look rtaher forward to it coz i have been wanting to watch it ever since it came to spore when i was only 12. but of coz, i din get to watch it then coz where will the money come from?
anyway, the show din disappoint. it was a bit boring at times and i thot it was only coz i was too tired until my sis pointed out at the end of the show that she nearly fell asleep at certain times when they kept singing. she also mentioned that someone behind was sleeping coz she cld hear the sound...heh.. but then, it wasnt that kind of boring boring. it was still rather interesting for most of it. i was rather amazed at the visual effects and the stage settings. i like the boat scenes, of how the river( i think) looked rather convincing. the esplanade's stage wasnt big enough i guess coz when the dancers danced, they looked a little bit cluttered. oh, and i think their orchestra was marvellous! it was great. the only thing maybe thats a bit lacking is the exploration of the whole plot. well, mayb i reali have to read the whole book to fully comprehend wat happened before and y it happened. my sis cldnt understand the part where the phantom's hair turned white and looked like an old man after his mask was taken out by christine. well, i dun too. and i wondered if that phantom's reali juz a man? coz i think he is a juz a man but somehow he did hv some controlling power too... anyway, maybe i will reali look up the book to understand wat happened in certain parts.
oh, this is only my 2nd musical. my 1st one was chang & eng. and i cld say that mayb i still like chang & eng a bit more than the phantom coz of the subject matter involved. but again, these 2 are of different genre, so cant compare lidat. :)
