Into the Woods: No One is Alone
Stephen Sondheim (born March 22, 1930 in New York City) Died November 26th… Read Full Bio ↴Stephen Sondheim (born March 22, 1930 in New York City) Died November 26th 2021 was a composer and lyricist for stage and screen. He is one of the few people to win an Academy Award, multiple Tony Awards, multiple Grammy Awards, and a Pulitzer Prize.
Sondheim has been writing for the American Musical Theatre for the past four decades. His breakthrough musical Company revolutionized the art form. He is considered by many to be the finest living composer of our time.
His scores include Passion, Assassins, Bounce, Into The Woods, Sunday In The Park With George, Merrily We Roll Along, Sweeney Todd, Pacific Overtures, A Little Night Music, Follies, Company, The Frogs, Anyone Can Whistle, and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to The Forum, as well as the lyrics for Gypsy and West Side Story.
He studied composition with the legendary avant-garde composer Milton Babbitt. Sondheim says that when he asked Babbitt if he could study atonality, Babbitt replied "You haven’t exhausted tonal resources for yourself yet, so I’m not going to teach you atonal." Sondheim agreed, and despite frequent dissonance and a highly chromatic style, his music remains resolutely tonal.
A notable aspect of Sondheim's songwriting is the use of complex and innovative rhyme patterns that "delight the ear."

Cinderella:
Mother cannot guide you
Now you're on your own
Only me beside you
Still, you're not alone
No one is alone, truly
No one is alone
LRRH:
I wish...
Cinderella:
I know.
Mother isn't here now
Baker:
Wrong things, right things
Cinderella:
Who knows what she'd say?
Baker:
Who can say what's true?
Cinderella:
Nothing's quite so clear now
Baker:
Do things, fight things
Cinderella:
Feel you've lost your way?
But--
Baker:
You decide, but
Both:
You are not alone
Cinderella:
Believe me,
No one is alone
Baker:
No one is alone
Believe me
Cinderella:
Truly
Both:
People make mistakes
Baker:
Fathers
Cinderella:
Mothers
Both:
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking they're alone
Cinderella:
Honor their mistakes
Baker:
Fight for their mistakes
Cinderella:
Everybody makes
Both:
One another's terrible mistakes
Witches can be right
Giants can be good
You decide what's right
You decide what's good
Cinderella:
Just remember
Baker:
Just remember
Both:
Someone is on your side
Jack, LRRH:
Our side
Baker, Cinderella:
Our side
Someone else is not
While we're seeing our side
Jack, LRRH:
Our side
Baker, Cinderella:
Our side
All:
Maybe we forgot
They are not alone
No one is alone
Both:
Someone is on your side
No one is alone

I absolutely love into the woods because they point out that there is no real villain and that good and evil are just a matter of perspective.
@CelestialDraconis

+DeeEll1 same so true and be careful what you wish
@DeeEll1
Mark Merzweiler True but congress won't let him actually do anything similar to how they didn't let obama do anything albeit for a different reason. at this point I'm more wary of hillary since she is almost as bad as trump but could actually cause some serious damage.

Hillary Clinton is like a fox, sly and sneaky, and she seems to have an Evil era around her.
Donald Trump is a true idiot. Thankfully I only have to choose between a bald-ass and a penguin for president.
ANC and EFF. ugh. Never mind I will vote for D.A.
@DeeEll1
Natalie Berrisford you know what's pretty evil? boasting that you could kill someone and get away with it, bragging that you could rape someone and get away with it, saying that the only thing keeping the world from a nuclear war is a problem and dehuminizing 99% of the population. So even though hillary isn't my first choice either, I'm still going to vote her over a literal hitler.

The best part of this song is the line "maybe we forgot" it just sounds so nice the all the voices harmonising together
