Invisible

The first song from the 2019 Broadway musical "Beetlejuice", Invisible makes a great show prologue, painting a macabre and melancholy portrait of a person in the grips of sadness. There is time for spoken dialogue to introduce your show, which can be cut if desired. It features a female soloist and a solo violin part.

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Violin/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto, Tenor, Bari Sax

You're invisible when you’re sad
Clocks tick and phones still ring
The world carries on like mad
But nobody sees a thing

Whispering behind their hands
Lost for kind words to say
Nobody understands
And everyone goes away

Grownups wanna fix things
When they can’t it only fills them with shame
So they just look away
Is it being greedy to need somebody to see me
And say my name?

Seems when you lose someone
No one turns off the sun
Folks carry on, that’s that
You’re invisible when you’re sad

(Beetlejuice)
