They should return this to movie theaters and then rerun this on cable. They don’t know what movies to make anyway. This was a gem. And today’s youths could definitely use it.
I watched this from the very start and still enjoy it in my fifties. The message is the word and music is lovely and many moves me deeply. Godspeed is a classic. Some people do not give it a chance and that is a loss. It gives me great joy and fills me with peace. Love to all.
2:50-3:11 Man that's got to be one of the most haunting moments in all of musical theatre. I don't think a dramatic drum beat has ever been more menacing...
As I carry the cross the lord has given me, stage 4 Gleomablastoma brain cancer (most do not live more than a year with this). The lord is not just holding my hand but carrying me! I have a receptive gene HF Hospital has found and believe my DNA along with Chemo and Radiation may carry the cure for this type of cancer for other people. Praise the Lord, God is good all the time!! For I am strong and will deal with the pain and tiredness, but knowing that I may help so many others is beyond joy, Praise the Lord! Thank lord! My faith is strong and I feel so close to you my lord. Please continue to guide me to serve others and spread your name and greatness, Amen!
I hope you are still on the planet brother, though I hope your suffering has ended. Very inspiring comment that has spanned the years with seemingly little attention.
Brings lots of memories back I was 18 when this album was released. I had just become a Christian a year earlier... I am still a Christian and wait eagerly for the return of Christ.
Michael harty it's funny to me when people say they're excited for the damnation and tribulation of between 5 (if all christians get in)and 6.9 (if a fringe denomination has it right, and everyone else is wrong) billion people.
@@leabugmp Oh absolutely. I was "Capital C Catholic" for the majority of my life. It used to really bother me that my loving God would send otherwise innocent nonbelievers to hell within the teachings of protestant sects. I can't remember ever being excited for the rapture though, that's some cold shit.
Still the BEST arrangement of this song ever. The perfect Tempo and harmonies beat that of even the original Broadway production soundtrack, and every production I've ever seen of it, several times for my life. Only second was my own high school's production, that purposely sought to match this version exactly.
By My Side Where are you going? Where are you going? Can you take me with you? For my hand is cold And needs warmth Where are you going? Far beyond where the horizon lies Where the horizon lies And the land sinks into mellow blueness Oh please, take me with you Let me skip the road with you I can dare myself I can dare myself I'll put a pebble in my shoe And watch me walk (watch me walk) I can walk (chorus) I can walk! I shall call the pebble Dare I shall call the pebble Dare We will walk, we will talk together We will talk (chorus) about walking Dare shall be carried (chorus) And when we both have had enough I will take him from my shoe, singing (chorus) "Meet your new road!" Then I'll take your hand Finally glad (chorus) Finally glad That you are here By my side (Chorus) By my side By my side By my side (Spoken, by Judas) (Matt. 26:14-16) Then the man they called Judas Iscariot Went to the chief priests, and said "What will you give me to betray Him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment, he began to look out for an opportunity To betray Him. (Chorus:) By my side By my side By my side By my side
Love how they corrected the chorus. The original cast recording sang "By Your Side". I can't even tolerate it. This is pure ear candy. Katie Hanley was in Xanadu, but didn't sing. Too Bad.
This originally stuck me as a tacky 60s-ish ISH piece of work but now I find it extremely compelling and parts of it very moving -- if you can get into it. (can't be in an action-mood or you will be sorely irritated!) I also just checked it out on IBDM. and shocked to see Schwartz was a comedy writer for Seth Meyers and has been doing Disney movies this past decade -- he has a HUGE, very talented, award-winning person who had a positive role in a lot of great works for decades now. He's definitely impacted both the silver and small screen.
I have a copy of the sheet music for this song that was in a book of songs from Godspell. It does the song as a dialogue between the disciple and the Lord. Where one voice says By my side, the other voice says By Your side. It's very compelling.

That song has always touched me deeply.
Played this at my brothers funeral. Said it all for everyone and yes he is by his side.
Sabes qué? Yo sé que nos vemos más tarde
the melody and harmony of this song are so beautiful and the scene is very touching
This song always brings tears to my eyes.
Tears,yes , because I want to go too
It has been almost 45 years since I heard this beautiful song, I do play with my guitar, still moves me... thank you , gracias
Such a beautiful and inspiring song
Far beyond where the horizon lies and the land sinks into mellow blueness. Oh please take me with you. Beautiful!!! THANK YOU JESUS!
Amen.

Love the Godspell movie and all the songs! The movie version is the best in my humble opinion.
This one of my favorite songs ever! So beautiful, and haunting! Please take me with you!!! AMEN!!!
Perfect faith, to ask "Where are you going? and, without waiting for an answer, ask "Can you take me with you?"
ive been a christian for almost 25 years---the best decision i ever made
I had no choice.
+MusicLover Why?
MusicLover *cough cough* belief isn't a choice. *cough*
This song was stuck in my head this morning. Need to get another copy of this movie seeing as I stupidly got rid of it years ago! My favorite

Great observation.
I was in a road show of Godspell when I was a teenager. We played in churches in TN and NC. It was so much fun! One of my best teenage memories.
beautiful song

@@solidaritytime3650 perhaps that gives you some insight into why Christians evangelize. That part isn't a happy thing to consider.

The return of Christ will only ever happen within you, unless you are ignorant.
Oh come quickly Lord,,, we are so tired.
Fabulous song, love it.
This song makes me cry

The freaking harmonies encompass you in this song
By My Side
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Can you take me with you?
For my hand is cold
And needs warmth
Where are you going?
Far beyond where the horizon lies
Where the horizon lies
And the land sinks into mellow blueness
Oh please, take me with you
Let me skip the road with you
I can dare myself
I can dare myself
I'll put a pebble in my shoe
And watch me walk (watch me walk)
I can walk
(chorus) I can walk!
I shall call the pebble Dare
I shall call the pebble Dare
We will walk, we will talk together
We will talk (chorus) about walking
Dare shall be carried
(chorus) And when we both have had enough
I will take him from my shoe, singing
(chorus) "Meet your new road!"
Then I'll take your hand
Finally glad
(chorus) Finally glad
That you are here
By my side
(Chorus)
By my side
By my side
By my side
(Spoken, by Judas) (Matt. 26:14-16)
Then the man they called Judas Iscariot
Went to the chief priests, and said
"What will you give me to betray Him to you?"
They paid him thirty pieces of silver.
And from that moment, he began to look out for an opportunity
To betray Him.
(Chorus:)
By my side
By my side
By my side
By my side
Love this song, so beautiful❤
Loved this movie..years later. I got to be in the play .awesome memories.
my favorite song of the whole production
Good lord! What more can one say?
Love how they corrected the chorus. The original cast recording sang "By Your Side". I can't even tolerate it. This is pure ear candy. Katie Hanley was in Xanadu, but didn't sing. Too Bad.
Love it !!
Why do we love this so much?
Beautiful!!!!!
Thank you for posting this. :-)
To Calvary. That is where He is going.
😭😭😭
Alone He was 😭😭😭
No worries
Death shall be carried by He who conquered it 😭💖🙏🏼
Best faith song ever....!
Oh come quickly Lord! I am so tired of the evil that has overtaken this world.
My sister made a Chronicles of Narnia music video for Lucy and Aslan to this song. I can't hear it without thinking of her gorgeous work now. :)

Is she with you?
Hey Telza Landham WHERE ARE you????
I put a pebble in my shoe
three members went on to be stars on several LAW AND ORDER series; but, they will never match their performances here!!
I like the movie but it pails in comparison to the original Broadway cast
