Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade: #151 – “Suddenly,” from Les Misérables

151. “Suddenly,” from Les Misérables

Ah yes, the lesser song they wrote and shoe-horned into the film version of the musical without a single bad song in it. Fortunately for them, this song is actually okay on its own, though when put amongst the masterpieces in the rest of that musical, really sticks out. Still, Jackman does his all to make it work and the song does what it needs to do. If you isolate the song by itself and don’t compare it to the rest of them, it’s a very nice song.
