Talk:Something's Coming (song)

The quote under "Production" attributed to Bernstein regarding the "last-minute change" is not quite complete or accurate. It should read:

"I missed you terribly yesterday -- we wrote a new song for Tony that's a killer, & it just wasn't the same not playing it first for you. It's really going to save his character -- a driving 2/4 in the great tradition (but of course fucked up by me with 3/4s and whatnot) -- but it gives Tony balls -- so that he doesn't emerge as just a euphoric dreamer[.]"
