[00:00.00]Nothing - London Theatre Orchestra & Cast
[00:01.29]I'm so excited because I'm gonna go
[00:03.14]To the high school of performing arts
[00:05.22]I mean I was dying to be a serious actress
[00:07.69]Anyway it's the first day acting class
[00:09.60]And we're in the auditorium and the teacher
[00:11.65]Mr. Karp
[00:12.51]Puts us up on the stage with
[00:13.68]Our legs around everybody
[00:15.07]One in back of the other and he says
[00:17.40]Okay we're going to do improvisations
[00:19.60]Now you're on a bobsled it's snowing out
[00:21.99]And it's cold okay go
[00:31.00]Every day for a week we would try to
[00:33.36]Feel the motion feel the motion
[00:38.43]Down the hill
[00:40.94]Every day for a week we would try to
[00:43.69]Hear the wind rush hear the wind rush
[00:48.62]Feel the chill
[00:50.99]And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[00:53.38]To see what I had inside
[00:55.97]Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[00:58.72]And I tried I tried
[01:03.62]And everybody's goin' whooooosh whooooosh
[01:05.89]I feel the snow I feel the cold I feel the air
[01:10.26]And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says
[01:12.08]Okay Morales what did you feel
[01:15.76]And I said nothing
[01:18.44]I'm feeling nothing
[01:20.87]And he says nothing
[01:22.94]Could get a girl transferred
[01:26.10]They all felt something
[01:28.48]But I felt nothing
[01:31.13]Except the feeling
[01:32.76]That this bulls**t was absurd
[01:35.35]But I said to myself hey it's only the first week
[01:37.95]Maybe it's genetic
[01:39.95]They don't have bobsleds in San Juan
[01:44.46]Second week more advanced and we had to
[01:47.28]Be a table be a sports car
[01:52.41]Ice-cream cone
[01:54.88]Mister Karp he would say very good
[01:56.98]Except Morales try Morales
[02:02.57]All alone
[02:04.63]So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[02:07.24]To see how an ice cream felt
[02:09.78]Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[02:12.50]And I tried to melt
[02:17.08]The kids yelled nothing
[02:19.39]They called me nothing
[02:21.94]And Karp allowed it
[02:23.84]Which really makes me burn
[02:27.08]The were so helpful
[02:29.52]They called me hopeless
[02:32.18]Until I really didn't know
[02:34.68]Where else to turn
[02:36.53]And Karp kept saying
[02:37.30]Morales I think you should transfer to girl's high
[02:40.26]You'll never be an actress never
[02:42.26]Jesus Christ
[02:44.52]Went to church praying Santa Maria
[02:46.84]Send me guidance send me guidance
[02:52.04]On my knees
[02:54.49]Went to church praying Santa Maria
[02:57.22]Help me feel it help me feel it
[03:02.21]Pretty please
[03:04.51]And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
[03:07.00]Came up to the top of my head
[03:09.55]And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul
[03:12.22]Here is what it said
[03:16.65]This man is nothing
[03:19.02]This course is nothing
[03:21.72]If you want something
[03:23.62]Go find another class
[03:26.75]And when you find one
[03:29.33]You'll be an actress
[03:31.88]And I assure you that's what
[03:34.11]Finally came to pass
[03:38.40]Six months later I heard that Karp had died
[03:43.88]And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[03:49.69]And cried
[03:57.64]'Cause I felt nothing
