Eclectic Reverie, Capturing Emotion

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. For some reason, this means that I have been listening to far too many show tunes. And yes, I count "Glee" and "Once" as show tunes, thank you very much. There's something about songs written to tell a story that capture emotion in a very different way than other music. Of course, that's also why the playlist is not entirely show tunes: because sometimes not even the catchiest of songs can encompass everything you want to hear. Add more songs with well-written lyrics to the mix, and you'll find yourself with an enjoyable list of songs to jam to.
