Ranking every song in Spring Awakening

(Feel free to correct me, I had a hard time choosing favorites.)

1. Don't do sadness/blue wind

My god. I have no words. The way Moritz contains his rage at first, and then finally lets it out during the chorus. Ilse's vocals, the color metaphors. This song is so cathartic, both to listen to and to sing. All of Mortiz's pent up frustration is released, and it's spectacular. I have never related more to a song in my life. (This is actually the song that got me into Spring Awakening, I heard it and was like "who is this man and why does he want to be a little butterfly?")

2. left behind

This is the song that always makes me tear up. Every time without fail. Also the cabaret version where Jonathan Groff starts crying??? I was in shambles, shambles I tell you.

3. Touch me

Such a good song. It's so..wow oh my god?? Everyone sounds so good, and when Otto comes in it's just...wow. Also, so fun to sing.

4. The dark I know well

I mean, what do I even say here? This song is phenomenal. I love how you can feel the anger seething out of every word that Ilse and Marta sing.

5. And then there were none

This is when we really begin to see Moritz unravel, and it's fantastic. You can literally pinpoint the exact moment that Moritz decides to kill himself. ("Another day of utter shit...and then there were none." That's it, that subtle change in tone between the two lines. That little pause: you can hear the resolve settle into his voice. Ouch, man.)

6. The bitch of living

There are only so many ways I can phrase "good song" but yeah, good song. Poor Mortiz.

7. The word of your body (reprise)

Honestly? I prefer the vocals in the reprise over the original version. I adore both though.

8. Mama Who Bore Me (reprise)

Listen to those harmonies, dear lord that's breathtaking. But...why bongos?

9. Those you've known

Heartbreaking. I love how hollow Moritz and Wendla sound, like ghosts. Only shells of the actual characters (which I think is the point).

10. The word of your body

It's good, I love how (and this is the case for a lot of songs in this musical) it is deceptively innocent. It's so pure in its discussion of lust, which is sort of beautiful. This song is haunting and deserves more appreciation.

11. Totally fucked

Overrated, but not awful. The Tony Awards performance where they censor themselves by comically slapping their hands over their mouths makes me giggle.

12. Whispering

This is a hot take, I know. I just feel like this should have been Wendla's moment, you know? It should have been devastating, it should have been emotional! I was, however, not devastated. I was slightly bored, actually. This song could be so much better. I dislike how much the diologue breaks it up. (I know Don't Do Sadness is also mixed with diologue, but unlike in Whispering it makes the song feel more intimate and creates more of an emotional buildup. In Whispering it just kind of...interrupts the song.)

13. The Guilty One's

It's a slow song, sure, but listen to those harmonies bro. I'm ranking it lower on the list because there are better songs but just know that I actually like this one a lot. I love Lea Michele's voice here, it's so soft.

14. The song of purple summer.

It's just okay. I understand its narrative purpose, but honestly there should have been another reprise or just like, a callback to an earlier song at the end. That would have made it feel more cyclical. It's a strong song though, I don't dislike it. (The ending is great, I don't want to be too harsh on Purple Summer. I love the metephors ((blue + red and summer rather than spring)))

15. All that's known

The intro is so good, solid melody. It's just kind of background noise though.

16. The mirror-blue night

I love this song, but the build-up to the good part is so fucking long. Also why is Melchior doing an interpretive dance?? I mean, I guess we all cope in our own ways?

17. Mama who bore me

Perfect for an opening number, it builds anticipation, and it's a great tone setter. It's just kind of boring on its own.

18. My Junk

Stupid lyrics, stupid song (the dialogue is hilarious, but the song itself is not that good)

19. I believe

I am literally so bored. I love the ending, but I always skip it when listening to the album.

Just watched the spring awakening docu on hbo- I really never realised how much this musical comforted me during my adolescence. Hearing & seeing the original cast together was like receiving a big, snuggly hug that warms you up. The moment Lea started singing Mama who bore me, I was transported back to being 14. I was very lonely, I didn’t know many people in real life who had the same interests as me, so I found refuge here on Tumblr. Through my love of glee I discovered the world of spring awakening. I was totally bewildered by this musical…. No insanely large ensemble pieces, alternative rock instruments? Actors who were actually teens too? I had never felt more seen by of media ever.

I always found it insane how much this musical touched me (no pun intended) in a way that made me feel a lot more comfortable in my body. Having been exposed to nsfw content online from a young age, I constantly felt, and sometimes still feel, ashamed of my body and my sexuality.. The songs and the book and the play always remind me that there is nothing to be ashamed of.

I’m fortunate to of never been subjected to the physical trauma depicted in this show, however it was my first interaction with understanding mental health. I particularly took with the character of moritz. I was really bad at school from ages 14-16. My teachers really gave up on me, they didn’t really know how to help this kid who was riddled with learning disabilities/neuro divergence. Moritz was also extremely curious and embarrassed about sex, as was I, and as I still am now at almost 23. He bought to life everything I was too afraid to really talk about or complain about. I think it’s almost twisted that I find comfort in a character who is so intensely sad, but just like melchoir at the end, I want to live my life, to experience the moments with this character in my heart.

I could easily write a dissertation on how important spring awakening is, and how it’ll always remain relevant. I could easily go on to gush about my adoration for the deaf west production too. Spring Awakening is a timeless piece of theatre. I would not be the person I am now without the comforting lyrics and music created by Steven Sater and Duncan Shiek.

When we can time travel, you’ll find me at an evening performance of spring awakening at the Atlantic theatre in 2006

Lea Michele not being nominated for a Tony highlights how much the higher ups disapprove of stories about sexual abuse and abortion.

i've been holding this in for three years and i don't know how.

many of you know i'm very open about sharing the spring awakening bootlegs that i have. but there is one i have never shared or even made mention of - the proshot.

we all knew it existed and i'm sorry for keeping it from everyone for so long. it is the 17 year anniversary of this capture which surprisingly means that it is now under fair use so sharing it won't get me into legal trouble.

this is a capture from the very beginning of the show's off-broadway run, so there are some changes from the finished version of the show we saw on broadway. however, it still contains the full original off broadway cast in all their glory. i'm so happy i'm finally able to share this with everyone.

enjoy :)
