Visiting the Music of Carousel: You'll Never Walk Alone
Perhaps the most iconic song from Carousel, "You'll Never Walk Alone" is a powerful anthem of hope and solidarity. Its uplifting message has transcended the musical and become an inspirational song in various contexts, including sports events and political rallies. The song's universal appeal lies in its comforting reassurance that, despite life's struggles, one is never truly alone.
