did you know that "la petite mort" means "the little death" and is used as a metaphor for orgasm.

I didn't get the impression you understood that as you sang it - although you made a lovely sound.

@installedpear i did - although i didn't really think of it that way until now. i think i want to sing this over with that thought in my head!

You can write an entire play about this one short song. You could have included the intro dialogue: "lemonade? It would choke me."

i know!!!

[MissSarahBrown]

so i heard you talking and was worried becausei love this song and would hate to see it ruined. but i was not dissappointed!! BRAVO!!!

[woodlandcreature22]

well i certainly try not to disappoint!

[guacamoleroxmysox]

very good! totally doesn't matter that you're not a girl... emotions behind the song shined through! Props to you!

[broadwaybabeeee]

I LOVE your little introduction because I, myself am a musical theatre nerd! :]

Sondheim is brilliant!

and I thought you sang this very well :]

[iaminthburg]

I sang along with you. And, er...I'm not a girl, either. I sing Sondheim when I'm unable to practice my swimming.......breath and endurance and diaphragmatic control, y'know. Y'know? He's brilliant, yes, he is. And you're gettin' there.

[sockratease]

agreed...brilliant....and beautifully sung!

[steveplittle]

Nice!

[DramaDavid]

Where did you get the music?

[lancestar2]

OMG that is one of my Fav. songs! you did a decent job at it...I say decent because its hard to top the origional A Little Night Music version :)

[TheSabrinaFairchild]

wow, okay I'm going to be honest: I was bracing myself for this to be awful because...well, as you said, you are not a girl. But I'm pretty impressed. Well done.

My only complaint is that the accompaniment is a touch too loud over your voice.

But otherwise, Bravo.

(And I understand, I'm definitely a musical theatre geek, too. Sondheim=brilliance)
