I do want FCOL in the show and I think it can easily work. It's a (great) love song and there is bound to be one or two places within the show where a love song will fit, it will just maybe need a few lyrical tweaks to fit the story Jim has written (I think quite a few of the Bat songs will have lyrical tweaks).
In any case, references to Californian wind & sand in the lyrics at least places the song in the right location?
Also bear in mind that I think the Bat musical will be a million miles away from the 1977 Neverland workshop, mainly due to the fact that Jim has had 30 odd years to write, write & re-write, and it's bound to have changed (a lot), and also the '77 workshop needed a lot of work?
> Just like Jim stuck the Godspeed speed us away into Graveyard Shift because he was reusing the BFG music
I love the Graveyard Shift and the godspeed references work within the context of the scene.
> Maybe there is a way to fit FCOL into the show...
I don't want it shoehorned in, that would be horrible. I want Jim to write a great section where it fits effortlessly.
