I love both this song and Shiksa Goddess.... but for the character of Jamie, I think Shiksa Goddess fits better than this. But they're both excellent and it's awesome to hear Norbert sing this
@elliosmi "Standing on its side upstage and looking as if its about to topple is a circular white patio with 26 white folding chairs arranged for wedding guests, viewed as if from the air. Its a brilliant metaphor for a marriage fated to collapse."
I can't, for the life of me, decide if I like this or Shiksa Goddess better... Hmmm. I think I like them equally as much. They're both terribly sweet and incredibly funny. And the line: "I (think that I) could be in love with someone like you" always makes me swoon in both of the songs. <3
They couldn't use this song because JRB's ex-wife sued him (claimed the song too closely mirrored their life and marriage). So it was pulled and replaced by Shiksa Goddess.
i saw this at a recital and really hated it (probably because the guy who sang it wasn't exactly the best singer and forgot the words). but now watching this version i kinda like it...
Just when I can't love Norbert anymore, I hear this... I am seriously in love with this man! He's sexy (check his bod in nobody needs to know! XD) , funny, and soooooo talented!! PLZ MARRY ME NORBERT!!!!
yeah I know they're both really good!! This one sort of parrallels Cathy's "i can do better than that" cos he's taking about past relationships. And obv "i could be in love with someone like you " is a line from "nobody needs to know" so This song fits better...but Shiksa Goddess is hillarious and one of my favourites!! LOL I just don't know!!! xxx
Hi there - is there a video of JRB singing this song or did you hear it on a recording? I'd be so interested in hearing it! He's such a wonderful composer - this musical is quite breathtaking!
There is now a backing track available for this song at btracks.com :-)

This is a good song. It's almost as good as "Shiksa Goddess". They should have made this an extra track on the CD.

he couldn't. Jason's ex-wife sued him for the song because it was too much about her and their past relationship with each other.

Though I do like Shiksa Goddess Better, I think he's super cute performing this song.
PS, you can hear Jason Robert Brown (composer) singing this song on his CD "Wearing Someone Else's Clothes." :)
