Fiddler on the Roof/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* A lot of songs from ''Fiddler on the Roof'' tug at the heartstings. Probably one of the most infamous examples is "Sunrise, Sunset". And when done right, "Sabbath Prayer" also has a very powerful feeling to it-you'll cry and you won't know why. For this troper, "Far From the Home I Love" is heartbreaking, as well as the lines immediately after:

'''TEVYE:''' Then we shall leave it in His hands. }}

* And the song Tevye sings about Chava, and his heartbreak, and her heartbreak--it DOES NOT HELP that this troper has always associated Tevye with her father. That song is so hard to hear.
