Breaking Down the Score: "Wait" from Sweeney Todd

I think it's cool that the lyrics have a lot of "soothing" sounds, such as -s -th -sh. For instance, in the first verse alone you have the words Easy, hush, distress, rush, thoughts, nice, lush

Totally! It’s like she’s telling him to “shhhhhhh” - good catch!

[@KevinLynchNJ]

Thank you! My goal is to record more of these and upload them. Grad school has been busy so I haven't had the time to dive into more. Glad you're still here :)

[@jirkahantych9015]

Was waiting for that, thank you 😌 Would you do some another breaking from Les mis too? Thank youu 😊

[@KevinLynchNJ]

Of course!!

[@angelgolds]

I genuinely love these breakdowns, I learn so much!

[@VictorKolbe]

YESSSSS I LOVE THESE! And this song in particular is so underrated

[@Ellieemcmahon]

[@KevinLynchNJ]

Glad I could help!

Will you ever break down some songs from Sunday In the Park with George?

[@FindingYaya]

I did get a lot from this, thank you!

I can’t believe this is his least favourite from the show. I always thought Johanna was a pretty unnecessary and dull song and clearly the worst.

[@KevinLynchNJ]

It reprises itself in act 2 during the quartet which is really beautiful. I love the contrast of “Johanna” layered into Sweeney slaughtering away and singing!

[@matthewweatherhead6002]

I agree that Johanna does feel a bit unneeded but it’s one of the most well known songs from the show because of how pretty is, and is a great sing as well

Will you ever break down some songs from Sunday In the Park with George?
