submeat’s top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love

#4 “How Shall I See You Through My Tears (from Camp),” Sasha Allen, Steven Cutts, and Company (Decca/UMG Soundtracks)

Give Allen ten years – maybe five – and Broadway exposure, and she’ll be a Tony winner. She’s that good. So is this song, originally from The Gospel of Colonus. That rare song from a musical soundtrack which you don’t even need context to appreciate, “Tears” is the epitome of feel-good in a completely uncheesy way – and like “Clark Gable,” it’s actually a sad song, but you can’t help but feel uplifted when it’s over.
