- Liz Callaway sings Stephen Schwartz's inspirational song "Beautiful City" from "Godspell" in her car. #AutoTunes
I love this song by Stephen Schwartz. I think it's a perfect anthem for our times. I always practice my songs my car, and in this case I was driving on the Upper West Side in NYC. I had the great pleasure of recording a single of "Beautiful City" in New Zealand with an orchestra and chorus, and here, I'm practicing with the track from my recording. (Don’t miss the end of the song. Only in NYC would the siren be in the same key!)

"Wow" is right Ms. Callaway!
I just love you, Liz. Please come back to Tucson so I can hug you once again and tell you how wonderful your voice is.
Even the siren is in tune with you! Love your voice on this song. So hopeful and beautiful.
Yes, I think it was a perfect ending for a beautiful performance...
Just AMAZING darling LIZ! Right now we need to build a better world. Thank YOU for your talent, driving while singing Shwartz lol xxx
I love when show tunes intersect with current events in a way that is so healing.
I never dreamed this song would be so timely.
@@LizCallaway you are still such a beautiful singer!!!! all the best -- stay healthy!
I need one a WEEK from Ms. Liz. ... the ambulance is perfect.
I have a lot a time on my hands so I'm going to post MORE than once a week if I can.
The ambulance was in the right key. And faded out at the end. Total movie scene! Chills!!!!
The beauty of the ambulance tuning into the song, in perfect pitch, reminds us of how we too are building a beautiful city (a global one this time), united and together while apart! Thank you for your amazing version of this song, Liz!
Thank you. Yes we can!
@@LizCallaway I can't believe you liked my comment! By the way, I loved your OBSESSED! video with Seth Rudetsky and play it on a loop! The way you hit that long B at the end of The Story Goes On is just breathtaking! I hope I ever get to watch you performe live!
I love your voice! It’s so pure and time has not changed it at all. What a blessing.
Wow…wow indeed! 🙏🏽❤️
I don't know why, but the siren felt so poignant at the end of the song. Like, a reason why we need this song.
Absolutely stunning Liz, thanks for this.
Thanks so much Joanna.
Your "wow" at them end! We almost said it at the same time! Thanks!
Glad you felt the same!

And the siren is the perfect last note for a perfect song. thanks for doing this.
Nothing can destroy a beautiful performance by you, ma'am! Even the siren in the end was in tune!!! INCREDIBLE!!🤣😂😅

Wow is right, the ambulance was in the same key. Serendipity! Kismet!
Synchronicity!
Liz- you are magical and uplifting - the siren is a perfectional accident. xxx
So good! I love how the city progresses as the song progresses. Thank you, Liz!
Thank you so much for this, Liz! I sang this to myself while walking through Central Park a couple weeks ago. It offered some much needed hope (as did your performance)!

Brilliant idea and, of course, you sound incredible. A perfect song for these times - I've been singing it a lot even before I saw your email today! Thanks for sharing!
Thx Raissa. Glad you are singing this song too.

Your voice is divine. It's such a blessing to hear you. 💞
Thank you so much 😊
You have such an amazing voice. It's a dream of mine to sing with you someday 🙂
Great job Liz. Nice backup sound as well. Have always loved this song since we sang it in high school chorus. Love the bridge, these new lyrics and the relaxed tempo. (You know me better as Gabriel P.)
Thanks Gabriel!
"Not a city of angels, a city of man." I wept on hearing you sing this. And then the miracle at the end. I took from the "Wow", The sixth station, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. Mercy!
Thank you
Listening to this from Porto, Portugal on the morning of Saturday, March 28, 2020. Never has a song felt more poignant as today. I think of my friends in NYC and around the world. In this difficult and heartbreaking time, may we find beauty standing side-by-side. Thank you.
Yes! Thx James. Stay safe!
Liz, I don't know how you timed that ambulance but it was perfect and you've made me very very happy today and a lot of other people I suspect. Thank you so much all my love to you and your family. And mom and dad watching over you. XX Paul
Thanks so much Paul.
That was amazing! When will you try recording something on Metro-North?
That would be hilarious. But I'm too shy!
This is beautiful! Which key is it in? x
álainn.
How did you get a perfectly in-tune, hauntingly poetic siren to go by like that at just the right moment?
Crazy, right?
Where did you get this arragement?
Did you end of 72nd W?
Yes!
Liz Callaway omg!!! Lol that’s where my college is near! I am Musical Theatre Major and my class was assigned to sing that song for the end of the year. But because of corona I don’t think that’s going to happen but this was beautiful and it really touched me and the rest of class! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! In what key are you singing this song?
Scott Stewart it starts in C sharp major. The last bit where the siren is wailing is A major.
The fact that you are driving while filming all these new videos scares me ☠ I know that's the gimmick but I'm anxious 😂😂
Don't worry- I promise I'm VERY careful. I've been singing to tracks in my car for so many years- the only difference is now I press record on my phone. Which is on a mount on the dashboard. Hope that makes you feel less anxious. I want these videos to make people happy!
@@LizCallaway I am sure you are :) keep doing the amazing work you are doing! You are a ICON!
Could you play Lilith in Hazbin Hotel 🏨?
