<p>For “Being Alive:” In a word, no.
You are a girl (yes it makes a difference!) and presumably around 17. The song is performed by Bobby, a 35 year old man who has been bitter about marriage and relationships and has stubbornly remained single for years while all his friends marry. The final song, “Being Alive,” is when he realizes that he wants 'someone to hold him too close, someone to hurt him too deep."
It is not suited to a young woman performer on multiple levels - you would never get cast as Bobby - and I would strongly advise against it.</p>
<p>“Far From the Home I Love” may be overdone, I’m not sure–check it out using ‘overdone’ lists or recommendations from colleges. </p>
<p>"Someone to Watch Over Me’ could be interesting IF you performed it in context of the original 1920s musical, NOT how Susan Boyle sings it or Ella Ftizgerald or Frank Sinatra or any other ‘star.’ The danger is that you will inevitably be compared to such singers. </p>
<p>Overall, try to choose songs that you could perform, that are not overdone, and that are not associated with particular singers. What is your voice type? Have you checked out songbooks? These would give you a good start, and then you can go from there. Do you happen to have a voice teacher? He/she could really help you as they’d know your voice.
Good luck–</p>
