Songs We Love: Tonight /Tonight ( Quintet)

Some cinemas will be showing " West Side Story" in the coming weeks, the classic Stephen Sondheim telling of " Romeo and Juliet"  but in the streets of New York. Today I wanted to talk about two versions of the same song that are both amazing.

The first version of " Tonight" starts slow and builds, becoming an amazing love song, perfectly describing the feeling of finding the person you have been waiting for. The other is an epic build up before a major event that will change the course of the story, and also a great lead up to intermission. 

Both of them have similar instrumental themes but both are different enough to be two separate songs, and the instrumentation is nothing short of amazing. paired with fantastic lyrics as well. They both stir up great emotion and get you excited to see what comes next. The quintet is so great at using the whole cast, in an amazing harmony. The two part harmony in the other version is also nothing short of incredible. 

Both versions are amazing, I say look into them, both for different versions, both should not be overlooked. Until next time, I hope your day is showstopper.
