The New Roommate (2007)

a musical theater song for soprano and piano

Lyrics and Music by Michael Oberhauser

Duration: 1:45

Notes

The lyrics of this song were written for a class at Catholic University. I was happy with my lyrics, so I decided to set them. The real fun in this song is the difference between the sides of the singer's personality. The characterization of this song is way more important than the music itself.
