Another Test Flight [short original snippet]

CLAIRE:
Okay?

OLIVER:
Okay.
THE ENDING’S NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.
BUT AS ENDINGS GO, OURS IS NOT SO BAD.
NO TEARS, NO REGRET, NO BROKEN HEART
AND SURE, NO MEMORIES OF WHAT WE HAD,
BUT MAYBE LETTING GO
AND MOVING ON
BEFORE WE MAKE A MESS –
IS THAT A HAPPY ENDING?
MORE OR LESS.
See? We’re being smart.

CLAIRE:
THOSE SUNNY AFTERNOONS YOU SPENT WITH ME
THEY’LL STILL BE HAPPENING, JUST SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST.
EACH SIMPLE MOMENT WAS A LUXURY
THEY’RE NOT LESS VALUABLE JUST ‘CAUSE THEY DIDN’T LAST...

OLIVER:
AND IF NOTHING ELSE,
WE FELL IN LOVE,
NOT KNOWING WE COULD FALL –
IS THIS A TRAGIC ENDING?

CLAIRE:
NOT AT ALL.

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
AND MAYBE WE’LL MEET AGAIN SOMETIME

OLIVER:
SOME TIME WHEN WE’RE BETTER AT PRETENDING.

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
AND MAYBE WE’LL MEET AGAIN SOMEWHERE
SOMEWHERE THINGS DON’T HAVE TO HAVE AN ENDING.

OLIVER:
YOU HELD MY HAND,
YOU TAUGHT ME LOVE,
AND THEN YOU SET ME FREE…

CLAIRE:
THAT’S NOT SUCH AN AWFUL ENDING,

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
IF WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ENDING.

OLIVER:
IS THIS OUR MAYBE HAPPY ENDING?

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
(spoken)
We’ll see.

Maybe Happy Ending <Musical Preview>

WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE <LYRICS>

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE
YOU ARE THE LONELIEST
YOU’RE ONLY HALF
WHEN ONE IS WHAT YOU WERE
YOU’RE PART INSTEAD OF WHOLE
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE
YOU ARE THE LONELIEST

OLIVER:
SITTING BY YOUR SIDE AS THE DAY DRIFTS BY
SEEING HOW YOU FROWN WHEN YOU GET IMPATIENT
HELPING YOU HOLD ON TO A MOMENT THAT MADE YOU HAPPY
HOPING THAT YOU’LL THINK WHAT I SAY IS RIGHT
WANTING YOU TO LAUGH AT MY UNINTENDED CHARM

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE
YOU’RE NEVER SATISFIED
THE THING YOU WANT
IS ALWAYS OUT OF REACH
A NEED WITHOUT A NAME
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE
YOU’RE NEVER SATISFIED

CLAIRE:
SITTING BY YOUR SIDE AS THE DAY DRIFTS BY
WATCHING HOW YOU TRY WHEN I’M DONE WITH TRYING
MAKING LITTLE PLANS THAT I KNOW WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY
HOPING WHEN I TEASE THAT YOU’LL PUT UP A FIGHT
WANTING YOU TO KNOW ALL THE FUNNY THINGS I AM
WHEN I’M
SITTING BY YOUR SIDE…

OLIVER:
SEEING HOW YOU FROWN…

CLAIRE:
WATCHING HOW YOU TRY…

OLIVER:
HOPING THAT YOU’LL THINK WHAT I SAY IS RIGHT…

CLAIRE:
MAKING LITTLE PLANS…


OLIVER:
SITTING BY YOUR SIDE AS THE DAY DRIFTS BY...

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
NOW I —
NOW I’M HOPING THAT YOU FEEL ALL THE THINGS I FEEL
WISHING THAT YOU WANT ME TO SIT BESIDE YOU
WANTING NOW TO LEARN ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE
WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO INVITE YOU IN MY HEART
TALKING IN A CAR IN THE AFTERNOON
SITTING BY YOUR SIDE ON A SUNNY DAY

CLAIRE:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE…

OLIVER:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE…

CLAIRE:
YOU’RE ONLY HALF…

OLIVER:
THE THING YOU WANT…

CLAIRE:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE…

OLIVER:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE…

CLAIRE:
THE THING YOU WANT…

OLIVER:
YOU’RE ONLY HALF…

CLAIRE:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE…

OLIVER:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE…

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE—!

THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE <lyrics>

CLAIRE:
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW, YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW.
THE BODY DOES WHAT IT ALWAYS DOES:
THINGS’LL BREAK SOMEHOW, YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW.
YOU KNOW YOU ONLY LAST SO LONG,
YOU KNOW YOU’RE ONLY MADE SO WELL,
AND YOU’LL BE GONE EVENTUALLY –
‘CAUSE THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE.
TIME GOES BY LIKE IT HAS TO GO

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
FLYING BY LIKE LIGHT, FLYING BY LIKE LIGHT

CLAIRE:
THE SUMMER RAIN MUST TURN INTO SNOW

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
EVERY DAY EACH NIGHT, FLYING BY LIKE LIGHT

CLAIRE:
BUT WHO SAYS ENDINGS MUST BE SAD?
WHO SAYS GOODBYES AREN’T JUST ROUTINE?
SEEMS LIKE A NORMAL THING TO ME

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
‘CAUSE THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE.

CLAIRE:
WHEN THAT FINAL MOMENT COMES,
I’LL SAY HI, AND SHAKE ITS HAND.
BE POLITE AND LET IT IN.
BUT IF I’M STILL HERE FOR NOW,
I KNOW HOW TO LIVE
DON’T RESIST THE WAY THINGS ARE.
DON’T FORGET HOW GOOD IT’S BEEN.
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
IT’LL BE OKAY, IT’LL BE OKAY

CLAIRE:
A ROBOT DOES WHAT SHE ALWAYS DOES

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS
IT’S THE ONLY WAY, IT’LL BE OKAY

CLAIRE:
YOU KNOW YOU’RE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE MADE TO TAKE A LOT.
AND IF IT DOESN’T COME FOR FREE,
WELL THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE.

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS

The Way That It Has To Be <Musical Preview>

TODAY THE AIR IN SEOUL
IS VERY CLEAR AND WARM.
TODAY THE SMILES TOO
ARE WARMER THAN THE NORM.
THOUGH THE CHANGE IS NOT PROFOUND,
THERE’S A SPECIALNESS GOING AROUND –
LET’S ENJOY THE DAY!
WATCHING FROM THE WINDOW AS THE MORNING CROWDS APPEAR
PICTURING THE PLACES THEY ARE GOING
SOON THE RUSH IS OVER AND THE SIDEWALK STARTS TO CLEAR
THEN I START MY DAY IN HERE!
THE WORLD WITHIN MY ROOM -
THE PERFECT PLACE TO EXPLORE FROM.
I NEVER NEED MORE FROM
THE WORLD WITHIN MY ROOM.
I CHOOSE A BOOK AND I READ IT.
A PLACE TO RECHARGE WHEN I NEED IT -
AND IT’S ALL WITHIN MY ROOM!

World Within My Room (Excerpt) <Musical Preview>

Yuang Chen was so inspired by the Popelka Bassoon, he wrote this entire concerto for it. It's pretty amazing... here is his original post (thanks Yuang!): https://soundcloud.com/seycara-orchestral/festival-of-lights-bassoon-orchestra
