Falsettoland reprise
Remember that time when you couldn't stop crying? You felt as if your heart was ripped out of your chest and had smashed into a million pieces? That's what this song is. It will make you cry whether or not Marvin's crying soundtrack is even included or you see Jason place the chest piece on the grave.
I have lost all ability to feel such emotion ever again after hearing Falsettoland reprise for the first time
