Day 2: A song about war
Friends Ain't S'posed To Die - from the play Billy Bishop Goes to War (1978)
Written by John MacLachlan Gray and Eric Peterson

I could only find the original on the wayback machine and as I prefer not to draw attention to a fount of history that would otherwise be lost, I won't link to the play.

Even clips of the original are consistently removed from YouTube despite the fact that it is no longer available for purchase from the CBC. The remake by the 2 man show is available but I feel the original production has more heart.

I posted a song in jest today so I won't post another one lest I receive punishment from MLS. But, a song did come to mind for today's prompt.

Do You Hear the People Sing - Les Miserables Ensemble

@UnquietDreams, I don't wanna hear how you like the stage version better we all do. But I liked this scene in the movie.

You probably liked Gerard Butler as the Phantom.

Yea, you better run!

Why is the eye roll emoji not a reaction yet?! I like the stage productions better of almost every musical, including Les Mis. Gerard Butler, Ben Platt, Amanda Seyfried and Russel Crowe (among others I'm sure) should not have been cast in their respective screen roles in the musicals they appear in.

But, again, I liked how they did this scene in the movie, which is why it was my song choice

Day 2: A song about war

Incredible lyrics about a soldier's sacrifice... from the musical "The Civil War"

"As I rest 'neath fields of green
Let him lean on your shoulder
Tell him how I spent my youth
So the truth -- could grow older
Tell my father when you can
I was a man

Day 2: A song about war

One of my favorites. A song from Hamilton about the early months of the war, when the colonists were mostly on the losing end of things.

"I have never seen the General so despondent
I have taken over writing all his correspondence
Congress writes, 'George, attack the British forces.'
I shoot back, 'we have resorted to eating our horses
Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance
They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence'"

I always love the call back here:
Washington: "Stay alive ‘til this horror show is past
We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast"
Hamilton, Laurens, and Lafayette: "Raise a glass!"

"Stay Alive," Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast)
