Oh, lord, if we start getting into Sondheim, or other musical theatre, we'll be toast; everyone of his scores has two or three heart-crushing ballads. And the whole of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG is the ultimate middle-aged depressent. Henry Laura wrote: Last night I had the (un) guilty pleasure of seeing a concert version of Stephen Sondheim's Follies performed at New York's City Center. There were multiple Tony winners in the cast including Victoria Clark who sang the part of Sally Durant Plummer. Sally married Buddy but always loved Ben. She performed Losing My Mind alone with a soft light and it truly tore me up; unrequited love indeed. LOSING MY MIND The sun comes up, I think about you. The coffee cup, I think about you. I want you so, It's like I'm losing my mind. The morning ends, I think about you. I talk to friends, I think about you. And do they know? It's like I'm losing my mind. All afternoon, Doing every little chore, The thought of you stays bright. Sometimes I stand In the middle of the floor, Not going left, Not going right. I dim the lights And think about you, Spend sleepless nights To think about you. You said you loved me, Or were you just being kind? Or am I losing my mind? I want you so, It's like I'm losing my mind. Does no one know? It's like I'm losing my mind. All afternoon, Doing every little chore, The thought of you stays bright.
