Liz Callaway Sings "Beautiful City" from Godspell in Her Car

Liz Callaway sings Stephen Schwartz's inspirational song "Beautiful City" from "Godspell" in her car. #AutoTunes
I love this song by Stephen Schwartz. I think it's a perfect anthem for our times. I always practice my songs my car, and in this case I was driving on the Upper West Side in NYC. I had the great pleasure of recording a single of "Beautiful City" in New Zealand with an orchestra and chorus, and here, I'm practicing with the track from my recording. (Don’t miss the end of the song. Only in NYC would the siren be in the same key!)

Great job Liz. Nice backup sound as well. Have always loved this song since we sang it in high school chorus. Love the bridge, these new lyrics and the relaxed tempo. (You know me better as Gabriel P.)

Listening to this from Porto, Portugal on the morning of Saturday, March 28, 2020. Never has a song felt more poignant as today. I think of my friends in NYC and around the world. In this difficult and heartbreaking time, may we find beauty standing side-by-side. Thank you.

"Not a city of angels, a city of man." I wept on hearing you sing this. And then the miracle at the end. I took from the "Wow", The sixth station, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. Mercy! Thank you

Liz Callaway omg!!! Lol that’s where my college is near! I am Musical Theatre Major and my class was assigned to sing that song for the end of the year. But because of corona I don’t think that’s going to happen but this was beautiful and it really touched me and the rest of class! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! In what key are you singing this song?

Scott Stewart it starts in C sharp major. The last bit where the siren is wailing is A major.
The fact that you are driving while filming all these new videos scares me ☠ I know that's the gimmick but I'm anxious 😂😂

Don't worry- I promise I'm VERY careful. I've been singing to tracks in my car for so many years- the only difference is now I press record on my phone. Which is on a mount on the dashboard. Hope that makes you feel less anxious. I want these videos to make people happy!
