"one reason they had the pilot being so inwardly reflective was that she was isolated from the other plane people--stuck in her hotel, because she had to be where the authorities could contact her at a moment's notice. So she had far less interaction with the locals. All she could do was sit, worry, and yes, rage over how evil men had used the most important thing in her life for such a purpose..."
Now all of that sounds like terrific fodder for a song. I don't hear that tension in the one performed. If the song were grounded (!) in that anxiety, that restlessness and unease, if the reflections had an expressed emotional connection -- if she dared to sing that worry you mention -- to me it would be a stronger theater song. Right now, it's not circumstantial until the end -- she could be singing it to anyone at a pilots' convention in Deluth -- and then it stops. I'm repeating myself, I'm still asking the same questions. |
