about

from the musical The Sound of Music
music by Richard Rodgers
lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II

Derry & Breitbart's fantastic take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic "My Favorite Things" is snazzy and surprising - this unique arrangement will have you tapping your toes and thinking of your favorite things, of course - perfect for a holiday gathering, chill dinner with friends or an inspirational listen when you need a lift. But it's more than that: this song is about finding joy in the small things; it's about permission to hope. It reminds us that we can love being human.

lyrics

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so...

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don't feel
Then I don’t feel
Then I don’t feel

Then I don’t feel - so - bad
Then I don’t feel so bad
