Download Sheet Music PDFs and PreOrder Full Album: Spotify: All Streaming Platforms: On the Street Where You Live is a masterclass in using musical arrangements to comment on text. First sung by the lovestruck Freddy EynsfordHill in My Fair Lady, the song has stood as a testament to the joys of young love. But in Feifkes arrangement, we hear a dark and brassheavy intro set to an omnipresent trombone pulse, inviting us to contemplate whether Eliza Doolittle actually welcomed the ongoing presence of an undesired suitor perpetually loitering outside her residence. What results is not only a cover of a timehonored standard; in his arrangement, Feifke finds a truly unique approach that offers new insights into this work, one that is emotionally more richly textured and nuanced than its source material might have Seton Haw
