I believe the only way is to contact the composer directly. He posted a video of himself singing it years ago and when people asked he told them to email him. I haven't been able to find it anywhere
And Matt Gould wrote the music. The show, Lempicka, just had it's World Premier at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Massachusetts, USA. July 21, 2018. Eden Espinosa sang this song.
I don't have sheet music, but I transcribed the lyrics, for anyone interested: Woman is plain, light, form Woman is plain, colored, light Woman is speed, green, shattered Woman is... powerful Woman is shape, breath, form Woman is bone, muscle, light Woman is curve and shadow Woman is... beautiful Black night Bodies and breath I am alive Black water Roll me another one Tobacco and Opium I am on fire Please let me blow the smoke Into your open mouth Here in the night Woman is gone all night Sneak past the room where My daughter sleeps Sleeping child Woman is flesh Kiss lifting Woman is-- Rafaella Black night Holding its breath Hardly alive Black eyes Falling fast into them Tobacco and Opium Flick a match light Please let me hold you close Here in the breathing dark Don't close your eyes A painting is not a woman Or a war horse Or a glittering a sky A painting is canvas (canvas x2) Pigment Plan and design(man and design)(man and design) Every minute design Teach me to live Teach me to breathe Teach me to see No question No hesitation Kiss me I want to feel Your soft lips Your sharp teeth Feel your nails In my flesh Your light Your color Your pulse Your sweat Your speed Your muscle Your flesh Your skin Your bone Your shadow Your breath Your blood Your mouth Your crushed and... Your heartbeat Your heart--beat Your--heart-beat Your heartbeat Your heartbeat, yeah Warm death Bodies and breath I am alive Damn sheets Watching your body rise (watching your body rise) Tangled hair on the pillow In the soft light Please let me watch you here Don't wake up turning Don't open your eyes
@@juicybutterriblydrab Thank you! I was hoping that somebody would chime in lol-- I did my best, but without seeing the musical, I can't be fully confident in my transcription. "Roll me another one" makes a lot of sense!
Andrew Bates It's a musical called Lempicka, at the show, she explained that it was from a show her friend was workshopping. It's a pretty powerful story too
I have literally watched this 87 times since I discovered it. Shoshana is a magical being...
Back in December 2023 watching for my thousandth time!! ❤🎉
This moved me. The musicality, interpretation , where words and music become one story, the definition of woman.
How does this not have a million views is beyond me. Blown away. 👏👏
This song! The story, the emotion, the power, all of it. Beyond!
All of this!! WOW!!
The chills and goosebumps! She is so powerful in her delivery, made me cry.
This performance is so emotional! Even more emotional knowing she is singing to a woman, Rafaela! Love love love this, Sho!
this a magical piece . shoshana what you have done here is a blessing. I'm actually lost for words . thank you
i will never stop watching this on repeat
TANGLED HAIR ON THE PILLOW. I'm shook.
that was beyond brilliant .shoshana you never stop growing . you are limitless. thank you
beautiful!
Amazing!
The Emotion!
Can she please share the role with Eden?!?!
Happy International Women’s Day!!
That piano player can get it
This is an absolute religious experience, Sho!!!
secretly hoping she originates or replaces when it comes to Broadway!
She needs to originate a lead role.
How many Elphabas have been in this show anyway lol
When they did it in Massachusetts it was 3 in one production 😂 Eden Espinosa, Carmen Cusack, & Rachel Tucker
Cynthia and Shoshana have also done readings, and now Mariand Torres is an understudy. Kind of crazy!
@@quinnaddison420who's next? Might as well get Stephanie Block. Lord
@@smurf902 I mean yeah she’d be amazing
despite the great vocal, i've to adore the pianist as well.
Where can I find the sheet music for this!
Does ANYONE know where I can find the sheet music for this song?!

Is the sheet music for this ANYWHERE?? I'm desperate to find it
I don't have sheet music, but I transcribed the lyrics, for anyone interested:
Woman is plain, light, form
Woman is plain, colored, light
Woman is speed, green, shattered
Woman is... powerful
Woman is shape, breath, form
Woman is bone, muscle, light
Woman is curve and shadow
Woman is... beautiful
Black night
Bodies and breath
I am alive
Black water
Roll me another one
Tobacco and Opium
I am on fire
Please let me blow the smoke
Into your open mouth
Here in the night
Woman is gone all night
Sneak past the room where
My daughter sleeps
Sleeping child
Woman is flesh
Kiss lifting
Woman is--
Rafaella
Black night
Holding its breath
Hardly alive
Black eyes
Falling fast into them
Tobacco and Opium
Flick a match light
Please let me hold you close
Here in the breathing dark
Don't close your eyes
A painting is not a woman
Or a war horse
Or a glittering a sky
A painting is canvas (canvas x2)
Pigment
Plan and design(man and design)(man and design)
Every minute design
Teach me to live
Teach me to breathe
Teach me to see
No question
No hesitation
Kiss me
I want to feel
Your soft lips
Your sharp teeth
Feel your nails
In my flesh
Your light
Your color
Your pulse
Your sweat
Your speed
Your muscle
Your flesh
Your skin
Your bone
Your shadow
Your breath
Your blood
Your mouth
Your crushed and...
Your heartbeat
Your heart--beat
Your--heart-beat
Your heartbeat
Your heartbeat, yeah
Warm death
Bodies and breath
I am alive
Damn sheets
Watching your body rise
(watching your body rise)
Tangled hair on the pillow
In the soft light
Please let me watch you here
Don't wake up turning
Don't open your eyes
@@dorkmyride Pretty sure it's 'Roll me another one' as in rolling a cigarette.
@@juicybutterriblydrab Thank you! I was hoping that somebody would chime in lol-- I did my best, but without seeing the musical, I can't be fully confident in my transcription. "Roll me another one" makes a lot of sense!
I think its plan and design not man and design
@@ryansullivan6135 Thank you! I've made the edit :)
where did this song come from!?!?!?

think she got her dress on the wrong way
I quite enjoy it
It's a very hard song to sing. Clearly.
