I saw the musical "Spring Awakening" a few weeks ago while my parents and sister were here for the holidays. The entire show was powerful but this song in particular stood out to me and, although I couldn’t remember the melody, I found the chorus lyric tumbling around inside my head over the past several weeks. I finally bought the soundtrack and as soon I head the song again I was obsessed. I spent two days trying to piece together the orchestration. I had to do it by ear since there was no published music – and I don’t think I got it exactly – but it was a good exercise and, more importantly, gave me a greater appreciation of Duncan Sheik’s fantastic composition and Steven Sate's superb lyric writing. This version takes bits and pieces from two separate tracks in the musical. I filmed this in my bedroom with my MacBook's iSight camera. I think I did all of this for someone, but I’m kind of afraid to say who.
