“When There’s No One” from ‘Carrie’ -- I mean the title alone says it! -- does it for me. Every line, nearly every word, illustrates Margaret’s utter despair. She has finally lost her daughter and she realizes there is only one deathly action that needs to happen. The placement of that sorrowful number – Margaret’s spiraling descent just as Carrie is starting to blossom, gain confidence, and be accepted by most of the teens who formerly shunned her – is powerful to me. I don’t agree with Margaret’s pending actions, but the song does make me feel for her.
