Læn dig tilbage og oplev
Stig Rossen for fuld udblæsning i en koncert af hidtil usete dimensioner.
Stig Rossen blev spurgt af det amerikanske tv-netværk PBS, om han kunne
indspille en koncert til visning i nordamerika for 320 millioner seere.
Han kvitterede for tilliden ved sammen med DR RadioUnderholdningsOrkestret
i Tivolis koncertsal at give en koncert, som skulle vise sig at blive hans
livs koncert!
Nyd en formidabelt veloplagt Stig Rossen, som synger sine bedste sange fra
16 års karriere med cd-indspilninger, koncerter og medvirken i musicals.
Dette er et brag af en koncert viser Stig Rossens utroligt alsidige
talent.
Hør nogle af de største sange fra de bedste moderne musicals (“The Music
Of The Night” fra Phantom Of The Opera, “Bring Him Home” fra Les
Misérables, “Gethsemane” fra Jesus Christ Superstar og mange flere). Men
oplev også Stig Rossen i de mere rytmiske sange som Eric Clapton’s “Change
The World”, Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” og hans vidunderligt smukke version
af Roger Whittaker’s “The Last Farewell”. Og få benene slået væk under dig
af hans hyldest til Tom Jones i “(It Looks Like) I’ll Never Fall In Love
Again”.
Sæt dig til rette foran skærmen og lev med i den koncert, som måske bliver
Stig Rossens gennembrud i USA og Canada.

"This Is The
Moment"
Frank Wildhorn/Leslie
Bricusse From "Jekyll
& Hyde"
This is the moment, this is the day
When I send all my doubts
And demons on their way
Every endeavour I have made ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now today.
This is the moment, this is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment, this precious chance
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last.
This it the moment, when all I've done
All of the dreaming
Scheming and screaming become one
This is the day, see it sparkle and shine
When all I've lived for becomes mine
For all these years
I've faced the world alone
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I made it on my own
This is the moment, my final test
Destiny beckoned
I never reckoned second best
I won't look down
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment
Of the all
This is the moment
Damn all the odds
This day or never
I'll sit forever
With the gods
And when I look back
I will always recall
Moment for moment
This was the moment
The greatest moment
Of them all!

"Ordinary Miracles"
Marvin Hamlish
Arr. David
Firman
Change can come on tiptoe
Love is where it starts
It resides, often hides
Deep within our hearts
And just as
Pebbles make a mountain,
Raindrops make a sea,
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me,
Ordinary miracles
Happen all around,
Just by giving and receiving
Comes belonging and believing,
Every sun that rises
Never rose before,
Each new day leads the way
Through a different door,
And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days,
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways,
Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark,
Each and every one of us
Lights a spark,
And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move,
The winds and the tide can turn,
Yes, ordinary miracles
One for every star,
No lightning bolt or clap or thunder
Only joy and quiet wonder,
Endless possibilities
Right before our eyes,
Oh, see the way a miracle multiples,
Now hope can spring eternally
Plant it and it grows,
Love is all that's necessary
Lovin', its extraordinary
Why,
Makes ordinary miracles every blessed day.

"Pity The Child"
Benny Anderson/Björn
Ulvaeus/Tim Rice From "Chess"
When I was nine I learned survival
Taught myself not to care
I was my single good companion
Taking my comfort there
Up in my room I planned my conquests
On my own, never asked for a helping hand
Noone would understand
I never asked the pair who fought below
Just in case they said no
Pity the child who has ambition
Knows what he wants to do
Knows that he'll never fit the system
Others expect him to
Pity the child who knew his parents
Saw their faults
Saw their love die before his eyes
Pity the child that wise
He never asked: Did I cause your distress?
Just in case they said yes
When I was twelve my father moved out
Left with a whimper, not with a shout
I didn't miss him, he made it perfectly clear
I was a fool and probably queer
Fool that I was I thought this would bring
Those he had left closer together
She made her move
The moment he crawled away
I was the last the woman told
She never let her bed get cold
Someone moved in, I shut my door
Someone to treat her
Just the same way as before
I took the road of least resistance
I had my game to play
I had the skill and more the hunger
Easy to get away
Pity the child with no such weapons
No defence
No escape from the ties that bind
Always a step behind
I never called to tell her all I'd done
I was only her son
Pity the child but not forever
Not if he stays that way
He can get all he ever wanted
If he's prepared to pay
Pity instead the careless mother
What she missed
What she lost when she let me go
And I wonder does she know?
I wouldn't call, a crazy thing to do
Just in case she sad:
Who?

"Gethsemane"
Andrew Lloyd
Webber/Tim Rice From "Jesus Christ Superstar"
I only want to say, if there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me
I have changed
I'm not as sure as when we started
Then I was inspired, now I'm sad and tired
Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations
Tried for three years, seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through
And do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me
Nail me to their tree
Id' wanna know, I'd wanna know, my God
I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know, my God
Id wanna see, I'd wanna see, my God
I'd wanna see, I'd wanna see, my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed
Than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said an done
Matter anymore?
I'd have to know, id' have to know, my Lord
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Why should I die? Why should I die?
Can you show me now
That I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little
Of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason
For your wanting me to die
You're far too keen on where and how
But not so hot on why
Alright, I'll die, just watch me die
See how I die, see how I die…..
Then I was inspired, now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years
Seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish
What I started?
What you started, I didn't start it
God, thy will is hard but you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison, nail me to
your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now
Before I change my mind
Before I change my mind
Tommy Sims,
Gordon Kenney and Wayne Kirkpatrick Arr. Lars Beijbom
If I can
reach the stars,
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams.
And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
And if I could be king,
Even for a day,
I'd take you as my queen;
I'd have it no other way.
And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
Till then I'd be a fool,
Wishing for the day...
That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

"Come What May"
David Baerwald
Arr. Steve
Sidwell
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather,
And stars may collide
But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time(until the end of time)
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, Oh I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

"Vincent"
Don McLean
Arr. Wolfgang Kâfer
Starry, starry night,
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer´s day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand
What you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen,
They did not know how,
Perhaps they`ll listen now.
Starry, starry night,
Flaming flow`rs that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent`s eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue,
Morning fields of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist`s loving hand.
And now I understand
What you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for yuor sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen,
They did not know how,
Perhaps they`ll listen now.
For they could not love you,
But still your love was true,
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do;
But I could have told you Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as
Beautifull as you.
Starry, starry night,
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless heads on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can`t forget.
My baby whispers in my ear
Sweet nothing
She knows the things I wanna hear
Sweet nothing
Things she wouldn't tell nobody else
Secrets baby
I keep them to myself
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
We walk along hand in hand
Sweet nothing
Yeah we both understand
Sweet nothing
Sitting on my bench tryin' to read my book
My baby gives me that special look
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
Choir
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
Stig
Sitting on my front porch Sweet nothing
Do I love you? Well, of course
Oh, my my sweet nothing
My mama sits on the front porch light
She says: come inside
That's enough out here tonight
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing.
Aahhhh … nanana…
Sweet nothing!
They would not listen,
They`re not list`ning still,
Perhaps they never will

"The Music Of The Night"
Andrew Lloyd
Webber/Charles Hart
& Richard Stilgoe From " The
Phantom Of The Opera"
Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Slowly, gently night unfurls in splendour
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
From the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away
From cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender
To your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life
You knew before
Close your eyes
Let your spirit start to soar…..
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness
Which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey
Through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world
You knew before
Let your soul take you
Where you long to be ….!
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

"I Wish"
Stewie Wonder
Arr. Lars
Beijbom
Lookin’ back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneakin’ out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine, ooh
Greeted at the back door
With “Boy, thought I told you not to go outside”
Tryin’ your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin’ it might stop her
From whippin’ your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
‘Cause I love them so
Brother says he’s tellin’
‘Bout you playin’ doctor with that girl
Just don’t tell, I’ll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money
For Sunday school
You trade yours for candy
After church is through
Smokin’ cigarettes
And writin’ somethin’ nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the
Principal’s office down the wall
You grow up and learn that
kinda thing ain’t right
But while you were doin’ it
It sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be on board that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
I heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the sea
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

"At This Moment"
Billy
Vera
What did you think
I would do at this moment?
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes
Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
And that you just don't love me no more
What did you think
I would say at this moment?
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you?
Or say things to hurt you?
Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you?
Or raise my hands to you?
Now come on, you know me too well
How could I hate you?
When, darling, I love you
And you know I'd never hurt you
What do you think
I would give at this moment?
If you stay I'd subtract
Twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
And kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again
I'd fall down on my knees
And kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you
Again
If I could just hold you
Baby, please
Baby, please

"The Lady In Red"
Chris de Burgh
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
Looking for a little romance, given half the chance
And I've never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I've been blind
The lady in red - Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek - There's nobody here
It's just you and me - It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know - This beauty by my side
I'll never forget - The way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright - You were amazing
I've never seen so many people wanna be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled
It took my breath away - And I've never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love - As I did tonight
The lady in - Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek - There's nobody here
It's just you and me - It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know - This beauty by my side
I never forget - The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The lady in red - Is dancing with me
The lady in red - Is dancing with me
I never will forget - The way you look tonight
I never could forget - The way you look - Tonight

"(It Looks Like)I´ll
Never Fall In Love Again"
Donegan / Currie Arr. Lars Beijbom
I've been
in love so many times
Thought I knew the score
But now you've treated me so wrong
I can't take anymore
And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again
Fall in love, I'm never gonna fall in love
I mean it
Fall in love again
All those things I heard about you
I thought they were only lies
But when I caught you in his arms
I just broke down and cried
And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again
Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love
I mean it, I mean it
Fall in love again
I gave my heart so easily
I cast aside my pride
But when you fell for someone else, baby
I broke up all inside
And it looks like sob
I'm never gonna fall in love again
That's why I'm a-singin' it
Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love
Please don't make me
Fall in love again
Early morning
Misty daylight fills the room
Yesterday’s papers on the floor
Out the window
The skyline seems so clear now
There’s gotta be something more
I see you sleeping
Eyes closed to the world
You look so beautiful and young
In your waking hours
We seem to fight all day
It’s over now, it’s done
We’ve been together
Since before my memories
Seems like you’ve always been there
Nostalgia fills me
When I see the photographs
And sparkling eyes
Remind me just how much we cared
But now it’s clear to me there’s nothing left, no no
Nothing left for us to share
We’re like embers
Glowing on a fire
We used to burn so bright and strong
Now it’s over
The fire is out
Tell me, where did we go so wrong?
We’ve been together
Since before my memories
Seems like you’ve always been there
Nostalgia fills me
When I see the photographs
And sparkling eyes
Remind me just how much we used to care
But now it’s clear to me there’s nothing left, no no
Nothing left for us to share
Nothing for us to share
Ooh

"Love Oh Love"
Lionel Ritchie Arr. Jørgen Lauritsen
Show the world and all it's people,
All the wonders love can bring,
Give us strength and understanding,
Give us all one song to sing,
Let the music play,
Play it loud and make it clear,
It's time to stand up,
To a new world that is now so near,
From the bottom to the top,
To the leaders of the land,
We all have one heart,
Everyone of us must lend a hand,
And let there be joy in the world,
Let there be,
And let there be no sorrow,
Let there be,
And let there be peace on earth,
Let there be,
For all the world we've got to see the love,
Oh love, what a blessed thing,
Oh yeah,
Say it loud,
Make it clear, today,
All the walls are falling down,
No more children off to war,
If we search in our hearts,
All the suffering will be no more,
And let there be joy in the world,
Let there be,
And let there be no sorrow,
Oh, Let there be,
And let there be peace on earth,
Let there be,
For all God's children let them see the love,
Oh love, what a blessed thing,
Oh yeah,
Say it loud,
Make it clear, today,
And freedom no more lies,
We can save this world if we try,
One world I know we can make it,
'Cos its only in your heart,
Yes its only in your dreams,
We can climb the highest mountains,
We can make the whole world see,
Oh yeah,
Love, oh love, what a blessed thing,
Oh yeah,
Say it loud, say it loud,
Make it clear, today,
Love, oh love, what a blessed thing,
Oh yeah,
Say it loud,
Make it clear, today,
Love, oh love, what a blessed thing,
Oh yeah,
Say it loud,
Make it clear, today,
God on high,
Hear my prayer.
In my need you have always been there.
He is young. He`s afraid.
Let him rest, heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He`s like the son i might have known
If god had granted me a son.
The summers die, one by one.
How soon they fly, on and on.
And I am old
And will be gone
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young. He is only a boy.
Tou can take.You can give.
Let him be. Let him live.
If i die, let me die.
Let him live.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

"I Feel Pretty"
Leonard
Bernstein / Stephen Sondheim
I feel pretty, oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity any boy who isn’t me tonight
I feel charming, oh so charming
It’s alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty that I hardly can believe that I’m real
See the pretty boy in the mirror there
Who can that attractive guy be?
Such a pretty face, such a pretty mess, such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me, baby
I feel stunning and entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I’m loved like a pretty wonderful boy
Have you met our good friend Stig Rossen
The craziest boy on the block?
You’ll know him the minute you see him
He’s the one who is in an advanced state of shock
He thinks he’s in love, he thinks he’s in Spain
He isn’t in love, he’s merely insane
It must be the heat, or some rare disease
Or too much to eat or maybe it’s fleas
Keep away from him, send for Chino
This is not the Stig Rossen we know
Modest and pure, polite and refined
Well bred and mature, and out of his mind!
I feel pretty, oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee should be organized to honor me
La la la .....
I feel dizzy, I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty Mr. Universe can just resign
La la la .....
See the pretty boy in that mirror there
What mirror where?
Who can that attractive guy be?
Which? What? Where? Whom?
Such a pretty face, such a pretty mess, such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I’m loved like a pretty wonderful boy
He’s so pretty, oh so pretty
He’s so pretty, oh so pretty
He’s so pretty, oh so pretty
No man, no madness,
Though their sad power may prevail,
Can possess, conquer my country`s heart,
They rise to fail.
She is eternal
Long before nation`s lines were drawn,
When no flags flew, when no armies stood,
My land was born.
And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and desair.
She is the constant,
We who don`t care.
And you wonder, will I leave her
- But how?
I cross over borders
But I`m still there now.
How can I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man`s petty nations tear themselves apart.
My lands only borders lie around my heart.

"The Rose"
Amanda McBroom
Arr. Per Ekdahl
Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose

Andrew Lloyd
Webber/Richard Stilgoe "Starlight
Express"
Diesel is for unbelievers, electricity is wrong
Steam has got the power
That will pull us along
There's a light and the end of the tunnel
There's a light and the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
There's a light and the end of the tunnel
There's a light and the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light
It's the power of James Watt
The steaming Scot
The man who watched the pot and said
Hey, I've got a brilliant plot
When the steam is hot
It seems to make a lot of power
It could turn a wheel
It could drive it down a track
It could drive it with a beat
With enough left over for a Wooo-wooo
He saw the light and the end of the tunnel
He saw the light and the end of the tunnel
Well thanks, James Watt, for watching the pot
He saw the light and the end of the tunnel
He saw the light and the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light
There are dark days ahead
When the power goes dead
When the oil runs dry
What can we try
But it don't shine at night
Nuclear fission makes nasty emission
Soon the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
We see the light and the end of the tunnel
We see the light and the end of the tunnel
Just dig a hole and haul out the coal
We see the light and the end of the tunnel
We see the light and the end of the tunnel
So let the water boil, goodbye to oil
At the end of the tunnel there's a light
We see the light
We see the distant gleam
At the end of the tunnel there's a light
Starlight
