I hate referencing Rick and Morty but when it’s right it’s right

Do You Hear the People Sing - Les Miserables Ensemble

@UnquietDreams, I don't wanna hear how you like the stage version better we all do. But I liked this scene in the movie.

You probably liked Gerard Butler as the Phantom.

Yea, you better run!

Why is the eye roll emoji not a reaction yet?! I like the stage productions better of almost every musical, including Les Mis. Gerard Butler, Ben Platt, Amanda Seyfried and Russel Crowe (among others I'm sure) should not have been cast in their respective screen roles in the musicals they appear in.

But, again, I liked how they did this scene in the movie, which is why it was my song choice

I was the best phantom I know. FYI.

I like how the film version leads into the song. It's just more atmospheric

Day 2: A song about war

Incredible lyrics about a soldier's sacrifice... from the musical "The Civil War"

"As I rest 'neath fields of green
Let him lean on your shoulder
Tell him how I spent my youth
So the truth -- could grow older
Tell my father when you can
I was a man

Day 2: A song about war

One of my favorites. A song from Hamilton about the early months of the war, when the colonists were mostly on the losing end of things.

"I have never seen the General so despondent
I have taken over writing all his correspondence
Congress writes, 'George, attack the British forces.'
I shoot back, 'we have resorted to eating our horses
Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance
They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence'"

I always love the call back here:
Washington: "Stay alive ‘til this horror show is past
We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast"
Hamilton, Laurens, and Lafayette: "Raise a glass!"

"Stay Alive," Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast)

Tough to be young tween during unpopular times with a parent a part of it. Might post the flip side of this one later...I know not 2 but such a defining topic for many.

Okay, okay. I won’t make the whole month about Epic. It is tempting though. And this probably isn’t the last.

Day 3: A song tied to a memory
Perhaps a little bit on-the-nose, but I have a lot of very fond memories about a particular brown-eyed girl wrapped up in this song.
"Brown-Eyed Girl" - Van Morrison

Day 3: A song tied to a memory

This was the first that came to my head. A very good friend told me years ago how she'd been serenaded by a biker singing 'lay lady laying, lay across my BSA'
I giggled then and I'm smiling now.
(BSA were a British built motorbike, for those who've never heard of it)
