I am soooooooo running behind this week! But I didn’t want to let Friday come without posting my Monday Music Medicine Show response.
Fimnora says: So my beautiful Monday Music Medicine Show friends, if it pleases you to play, share with us: a song which says it all; that defines your sense of dedication, and authenticity?
I’ve used this song before. It’s from the stage production/ movie A Chorus Line. With music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban, this song comes closest to defining what I want my life to represent. I have to believe love is always worth it…
`
What I Did For Love
Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I can’t regret
What I did for love, what I did for love
`
Look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It’s as if we always knew
And I won’t forget what I did for love
What I did for love
`
Gone
Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love’s what we’ll remember
`
Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won’t forget, can’t regret
What I did for love
`
What I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love
`

I didn’t recognise this song from the title or even from skimming the lyrics but I knew it as soon as I heard it from one or more older versions 🙂

Bit before your time, I think. “A Chorus Line” opened December 13, 1985.

I somehow thought it was even older than that – I was heading for seventeen when it first opened, so not quite before my time 😉

I don’t know whether it defines me, actually, or just the hope that I have. Fell in love with it the first time we saw “A Chrorus Line.” 🙂
