We all have them, and one of mine is Elaine Page's Sunday afternoon slot on Radio 2.* I switched on today just in time to hear the second half of Try to Remember, which is one of those songs I always forget about until I hear it and remember how great it is. (Best lyric: "without a hurt, the heart is hollow").
There's a few different versions floating around on Youtube: this one is Jerry Orbach, who was a Broadway legend long before he became Lennie Briscoe, and who was first to sing it on stage.
The song comes from a musical called The Fantasticks (yes, with a k) which is coming to London in June, something I have only just this minute discovered, and am beyond excited about.
*Also: Starbucks, Dawson's Creek, toasted bacon and egg sandwiches and the earlier works of Neil Diamond. You?
