Song Info & Lyrics

 

Anything But Lonely   written by Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics: Don Black, Charles Hart from the musical - Aspects Of Love.   Sarah was to star both in London's west End and in the USA as Rose Vibert, sadly no official soundtrack exists with her singing this part. T   his song appears on the following SB albums - Sarah Brightman Sings the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection.   Sarah also released this song as a single in 7", 12" and CD formats.
		Anything but lonely   Anything but lonely,   Anything but empty rooms. There's so much in life to share -- What's the sense when no one else is there?   Anything but lonely,  Anything but only me. Quiet years in too much space: That's the thing that's hard to face,  And ...   You have a right to go,  But you should also know That I won't be alone for long. Long days with nothing said Are not what lie ahead --I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong.   Anything but lonely,  Anything but passing time. Lonely's what I'll never be, While there's still some life in me,  And ...   I'm still young, don't forget,  It isn't over yet -- So many hearts for me to thrill. If you're not here to say How good I look each day, I'll have to find someone who will.   Anything but lonely,  Anything but empty rooms. There's so much in life to share -- What's the sense when no one else is there ...? What's the sense when no one else is there ...?

 

Andrew Lloyd Webber conceived the idea of turning P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories into a musical. Originally, he was to work with his then-partner, Tim Rice, but Rice backed out of the project. Eventually Lloyd Webber teamed up with famed British playwright Alan Ayckbourn, and the two of them began work with the personal blessing of Wodehouse. Ayckbourn utilized characters and plot lines from several Jeeves and Wooster stories, and Lloyd Webber provided a strong period score. He seems to have lacked the confidence to orchestrate the score himself, so was prepared to pay for another's anonymous contributions. In the end, the sound of trumpets, banjos and saxophones flavouring this score were written by a group of arrangers: Keith Amos, Don Walker, Lloyd Webber himself and his future orchestrator, David Cullen.   The show opened in London on 22 April 1975 at Her Majesty's Theatre, starring David Hemmings as Bertie Wooster and Michael Aldridge as Jeeves. The role of Madeleine Bassett was performed by T.V. actress Gabrielle Drake. Other cast members included Debbie Bowen, Gordon Clyde, Angela Easterling, John Turner, Bill Wallis and David Wood.   The Director Eric Thompson (father of Actress- Emma) was alleged to be in over his head, trying to stage a small farce with a large group of singing chorus hanging around, near redundant. Thompson was fired just before the opening, so Ayckbourn himself stepped into the fray, aided by choreographer Christopher Bruce. It received mixed-to-poor reviews and closed after little over a month and 38 performances, on 24 May. Several critics noted that the uthors failed to develop the title character, Jeeves not even having a solo song. It is regarded as Andrew Lloyd Webber's only real flop.   The original version of this musical also has the track Female of the Species which does not appear on the revised version.  Sarah sung song this at a concert and dedicated it all the Norma Desmonds out there.

Half a Moment Half a moment We are together I shall want no-one else And nothing new. Half a moment I shall treasure, Keep it locked away For some future rainy day. Should you leave me With just this moment In my mind I shall capture it anew, Like some picture Taken in my childhood Half a moment Spent with you. Half a moment I shall treasure, Keep it locked away For some future rainy day. Should you leave me With just this moment In my mind I shall capture it anew, Like some picture Taken in my childhood Half a moment Spent with you. Countless vivid memories Spin before my view, Like some toy kaleidoscope Images of you. Time looks kindly On fleeting lovers They can turn the briefest hour Into a day Turn a moment To a lifetime Making it to last Blending future with the past. We're together, What else can matter? Even though Half a moment is too few I shall save it 'Til I have another Making one whole moment Filled with you.
