BARE Recorded Tracks

[ClydeBarrow]

EW posted three songs (“Are You There," “Role of a Lifetime” and “A Million Miles from Heaven”) today from BARE although I don't know what these are. The opening is (like many have said) a redux of the CARRIE opening number. Can't say I much care for the others that have been reworked for whatever reason.

Also since when is BARE referred to as pop-rock?

I suppose some could call it pop/rock--the classification when it's used on radio is pretty broad. I know originally it was called a Pop Opera, but I've seen regional productions for some reason call it a rock opera.

What was wrong with the original opening number?

[LYLS3637]

Nothing was wrong with the original opening number. It was brilliantly conceived, written, structured, and orchestrated.

My guess is that it was too Catholic, and they wanted something more universal.

[CurtainPullDowner]

I thought pop rock was that thing you sucked on till it exploded in your mouth?

[CATSNYrevival]

^Ummm... no words.

I was listening to them when I came across this thread^.^ I actually really liked A Million Miles from heaven, which I thought I wouldn't since I love Epiphany (of course, I'd love if they were both in the show, but whatever). I really didn't like the lyric changes in Role of a Lifetime- they were kind of cheesy.... And I loved Are You There (although Taylor Trensch has a very odd quality to his voice- I don't know how to describe it, but it's odd. I still think the song rocked though>.<)

"A Million Miles from Heaven" isn't a bad song by any means, but it's forgettable and trite, especially when compared to the original opening.

[EricMontreal22]

It's too generic--I guess that was thepoint though--to make it more broad and involving more chracters

[CATSNYrevival]

Just from the opening number, I really hope this doesn't become the final version of the show. The 2 disc recording with Matt Doyle was near perfect. Why would someone listen to that and want to change it?

Carrie needed work. This I just don't get.

[THDavis]

I would still like the You Don't Know number to get recorded. I think that's the one I'm talking about...

If I was a wildly wealthy person, I'd seduce and 'keep' Stafford just to get him to stop directing.

[kadu335]

They have “A Million Miles from Heaven” as a free download on their website. I wonder if they will do the same with some of the other songs...

[dramamama611]

Well, the recording is near-perfect, but the show was not. I don't mind them TRYING to change, but the changes they made just didn't help.

I wouldn't imagine they would release all the songs, I suspect they are hoping to release a cd and make some bank.

[FlowerChild67]

@THDavis: Yeah, the Nadia/Ivy duet. I'd rather have had that recorded than Are You There (we've already heard their version of Are You There from Broadway on Broadway). For one thing, I want someone with a better ear than I to put together the sheet music:P

[THDavis]

I agree. It was easily the best new song of the show. Maybe only because of how gorgeous their voices sounded together. Mmm...
