So I do singing lessons and the song I'm working on is No One Else, from Great Comet of 1812. And those high notes are not fun.

[EURYDICE]
Orpheus, my heart is yours
Always was and will be
It's my gut I can't ignore
Orpheus, I'm hungry
Oh, my heart, it aches to stay
But the flesh will have its way
Oh, the way is dark and long
I'm already gone I'm gone

"No." Orpheus looked shocked.

[FATES]
Go ahead and lay the blame
Talk of virtue, talk of sin
Wouldn't you have done the same?
In her shoes, in her skin
You can have your principles
When you've got a bellyful
But hunger has a way with you
There's no telling what you're gonna do
When the chips are down
Now that the chips are down
What you gonna do when the chips are down?
Now that the chips are down

"The Fates, really are good advice givers." Elizabeth said.
