If The World Should End
This ballad from the 2011 musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" is a confession of love in the midst of a tumultuous world. It begins with an alto solo accompanied intimately by solo violin and classical guitar, then the choir joins in with a challenging score filled with polyphony, complex harmonic changes, and a 30 second a cappella section, topped off with a climactic final section accompanied with a powerful full rhythm section.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Violin/Guitar/Bass/Drums

Don't think about tomorrow We've only got today There's nothing I want from you Not a word you have to say You are all I need And all I can defend All I need to hold on to If the world should end In my imagination I could not have made this up In a world stranger than fiction Ours is no fictional love I can see the you Under your second skin And there's nothing You need to pretend If the world should end And the sky tonight is luminous For all the wrong reasons And every doorway is hiding something And if this world should all come crashing down I would not care at all And if the darkness will descend Don't need a savior or a friend I can say I've really loved If the world should end (Bono, The Edge, U2)
