Broadway production 1998 Ragtime the Musical - New Music Lyrics
"New Music" is a song from musical Ragtime performed by Mark Jacoby (Father), Marin Mazzie (Mother), Steven Sutcliffe (Younger Brother), Coalhouse, Audra McDonald (Sarah), and Company.
[FATHER] Where have I been? How did we change, Caught in this strange New music? Say, Was I away too long?
[MOTHER] Just like that tune, Simple and clear, I've come to hear New music.
[FATHER] New music.
Why, Why can't you hear the song?
[YOUNGER BROTHER] His fingers stoke those keys, And every note says "Please", And every chord says "Turn my way."
[MOTHER, FATHER] I thought I knew What love was but these lovers play...
[MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER] New music! Haunting me, And somehow taunting me- My love was never half as true.
[FATHER] And I as myself, Why can't I sing it too?
[WORKERS, NEIGHBORS] His fingers stoke those keys, And every note says "Please", And every chord says "Turn my way."
[WORKERS, NEIGHBORS, FAMILY] I thought I knew What love was but these lovers play New music!
[ALL] Haunting me, And somehow taunting me- My love was Never half as true.
[COALHOUSE] Sarah, my life has changed. Sarah, you've got to see. Sarah, we got a son! Sarah, come down to me...
[SARAH] You and your music Singing deep in me, Making nice to me, Saying something so new-
[COALHOUSE] New
[SARAH] Changing everything, Meaning everything,
[COALHOUSE] Music
[SARAH] Calling my heart to you...
[COALHOUSE] All for you, girl. You, Sarah.
[SARAH] Play that melody, Your sweet melody, Calling my heart to you.
[COALHOUSE] You.
[ALL (except Coalhouse & Sarah)] Just like that tune, Simple and clear, I've come to hear New music- Breaking my heart, Op'ning a door, Chamging the world! New music! I'll Hear it forevermore!
