Hmmm...

It strikes me that several of the songs I am obsessed with lately have to do with creativity/self-expression/self-definition:

"La Vie Boheme" from Rent
"I Want to Be a Producer" from The Producers
"Move On" from Sunday in The Park With George
"Defying Gravity" from Wicked
"On Broadway"
"I Am What I Am" from La Cage Aux Folles
even, in some sense "Do You Hear The People Sing?"

And my mind keeps dwelling on specific *lines* within the songs (except for "I Am What I Am" -- the whole song keeps running through my head):

"I want be a producer, cause it's everything I'm not."

"The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation."

"Stop worrying if your vision is new, let others make that decision, they usually do, you keep moving on, Look at what you want, not at where you are, not at what you'll be"

"if you care to find me /Look to the western sky! /As someone told me lately: "Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"

Well, time to stop with the navel-gazing, which is never attractive, and get something done.

That, plus the overthrow of self-suppression (metaphorically, from the song from Les Miserables that you also keep playing... ;-)
