"1983" the Musical (soundtrack videos)

"1983" begins with a New Year's celebration at the stroke of midnight. We find out that Robert, the patriarch of the family, has died in the previous year. Maureen, his wife, organizes family celebrations to cope with her grief. Bob, their son, has been married and recently divorced, but is still in love with his ex-wife. Marnie, their daughter, is now an anthropologist, and is newly married to Carl, a molecular biologist. Marnie and Carl announce at New Years that they are going to have a baby. Marnie's friend Janice, now an attorney and a New Age priestess, arrives after being away for 10 years. She announces that she is ready to settle down after spending the last decade coping with the death of her baby, and being in and out of relationships with both men and women. Bob and Janice dance during the disco song "I Hear the Beat". Later that night, Janice and Marnie reconcile their previous relationship, and Bob recieves a phone call from his ex wife, who dumped him but still calls him. The next morning, Marnie recounts a dream she has about her unborn child, and Janice, who has stayed over (and moves in until she can get settled), recounts a similar dream about the baby she lost. Janice organizes a baby blessing ritual at Imbolc, a Celtic festival held on February 2. Janice and Bob get together to sing and play guitars like the old times, but Bob's song is about his ex-wife. At Valentine's day, Marnie and Carl sing a love song, and Maureen sings a torch song (I Gave My Heart to You) about Robert. Janice and Bob date at Mardi Gras, and kiss. Bob is on top of the world. Janice is not sure what she is doing (In Too Deep). Marnie and Carl discuss parenting, religion, and spirituality (she is spiritual but not religious, he is atheist). Marnie reminds him that when the baby comes, he will have to get more involved in parenting. Bob and Janice have a spiritual experience singing a song Janice wrote. The romance heats up, and then the phone rings -- Bob's ex. The family gathers for St. Patrick's Day and everyone but Bob, who is a Republican, sing a song suggesting it is time for President Reagan to go (Just Say No). Maureen sings Brighter Shores about Robert's death. Later that night, Janice tells Bob that he just might get lucky... A few weeks later, Janice organizes a full moon ritual that Maureen and Marnie participate in. On Good Friday, Bob and Janice explore their religious differences. The romance heats up again, but this time when the ex-wife calls, Bob leaves to rescue her from a suicide crisis, and doesn't return for over a month. At Easter, Marnie explains to her mom why she has fallen away from the faith she was raised with. Janice sings "Life Goes On," a song about the transcendence of life, and Carl leads the family in a rousing Hora dance. By May Day, Janice is moving out and announces to Marnie that she is pregnant. On Mother's day, Marnie sings the Baby-on-Board-Blues, and Bob shows up. Maureen and Marnie sing "Just Say No Reprise" as advice to Bob about his ex. Bob and Marnie sing "Boundless Love" for their mom. On Carl and Marnie's anniversary, they sing "Love Never Fails." On Memorial day, Maureen sings a reprise of 'Brighter Shores." On Father's Day, Bob reveals he is in love with two women. By Midsummer, Bob announces a dream he had from his dad showing him glimpses of his future-- it is not with his ex wife. When she calls with another crisis, he frees himself from the hold she has on him and refers her to 911. Janice reveals she is pregnant, and Marnie's water breaks. In the Epilogue, the new baby is welcomed home and the cast sing a reprise of "Life Goes On."
