The score for this show is super haunting, and what a way to introduce the main character to the audience.

Here, in contrast to the opening number and the hope filled can do optimism of the dream of Atlanta and the old red hills of home, filled with sense of a place and time and love for their people and country—here, we are introduced to Leo, who is homesick, scared, and desperately lonely, despite having a loving and supportive wife, and seemingly having everything that he wants and desires. He expresses a deep cynicism and skepticism about everyone around him.

He knows that he is an outsider in this world, and expresses his fear and sadness that he doesn’t fit in, despite having lived in Atlanta for 4 years prior to the story taking place.

He feels helpless and hopeless…and little known to him, but it only gets worse from here for him.

Everytime I listen to a song from a musical I dislike and start thinking that I dislike musical theatre I listen to this song
