I think this is my favorite song from the musical. The ups and downs of it, their parts.... agh, it's so beautiful and bittersweet. I love both of their voices; something in particular about Penny's is just so innocent and kind, like the way she sings "hope".
@Pikanyaasan Seriously, Dr. Horrible is freaking brilliant. If you think about this song also, it is about the dual nature of humanity, where Dr. Horrible represents the evil and destructive nature of humanity, and Penny is the constructive and positive nature of humanity. It is really brilliant to even notice this antinomy.
This song always cheers me up. When I hear Penny's part I realize the world's not so bad and it's full of happy opportunities if you just look hard enough. even If I do side more with Dr. horrible's side, I try and be happy
Every now and then I forget just how amazing the Dr. Horrible songs are. This is one of my favorite, pretty much agree with what everyone else is saying here. :)
"Some kind of harmony
Is on the rise"
*Harmony follows*
...I see what you did there.

I love how this song carries so much emotion. It conveys Billy and Penny's contrasting views perfectly.

Neil's part reminds me of a Tim Burton type of tune, kind of chagrin and the horrid dark truths.
