OblivionHelena To me, he's completely convinced that there's no hope anymore. The ending of the song is practically suicidal. His conviction isn't really a good thing is this circumstance
Oh of course, it's definitely not a good thing for the character. It's really tragic. I was simply referring to the way the lines were sung and the acting ability of Terrence Mann.
I see it as a declaration that he WILL learn to love her, with the kind of all-or-nothing approach that involves taking a risk on your last hope. I think it's a shift in attitude from the beginning of the song, when he was melancholy and tragic and hopeless. It does sound triumphant, and I think that's intentional as he gathers the resolve to learn to love her.
You really don't love someone until you are ready to die for them. It's why this song is SO MUCH BETTER for this part of this movie than Evermore. If he can't love Belle, than there is no more reason to live...and it would be a worthy death. I would even go so far as to say that Evermore isn't about Belle at all. That if you listen to the words divorced from the context...it could just as easily be sung about the Enchantress...
Beast: And in my twisted face There's not the slightest trace Of anything that even hints of kindness And from my tortured shape No comfort, no escape I see, but deep within is utter blindness Hopeless As my dream dies As the time flies Love a lost illusion Helpless Unforgiven Cold and driven To this sad conclusion No beauty could move me No goodness improve me No power on earth, if I can't love her No passion could reach me No lesson could teach me How I could have loved her and make her love me too If I can't love her, then who? Long ago I should have seen All the things I could have been Careless and unthinking, I moved onward No pain could be deeper No life could be cheaper No point anymore, if I can't love her No spirit could win me No hope left within me Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free But it's not to be If I can't love her Let the world be done with me.
This song is soooooooo haunting and beautiful... And Terrence Mann voice is so powerful, moving and yet so soothing!!! I hear it every night before going to sleep and works like a charm!
The bridge of this song is so great (well, the whole song is so great). I love when Alan Menken - or any composer - takes a motif I've always loved and puts lyrics to it :)
Did anyone ever notice that Gaston’s first song ends the same way? With the word “Me,” held at an F note, just like this one? At this point Gaston and Beast had changed roles, and I think this was the perfect subtle symbolism
And Alex Bourne and Earl Carpenter did that (in the 1999 West End show with Annalene Beechey as Belle and in the 2001 UK Tour with Dianne Pilkington as Belle)
I agree! This reminds me of Javert's suicide scene partially because Terrence Mann was the original Javert in broadway's Les Miserables. Also, the conflicting emotion in this song is just incredible.
Terrence's voice is so beautiful. I feel like he's one of those actors that have been forgotten about after all these years and I hate it 😔 He's play so many iconic rolls and I will forever love him.
Katie Freisem I’m with you totally! It’s fun to play loud on a good sound system! I was so disappointed when the movie came out, and they replaced it with a song I didn’t care for! The orchestration on the Stage production is so great too!! ❤️
I remember performing this show in high school, and I had the honor of being the first person of color in my school to play a role that is mainly portrayed by caucasians. My beast always made me cry with this song, and I would always cry backstage and feel like a jerk as Belle for not understanding the beast at this point in the play.
my school is doing this musical, and I'm in the pit so I just came back from the ten hour tech day. in my school, so many of the leads are people of color - Belle and the Beast, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, Gaston, Lefou, Babette. I think it helps that my school is so diverse, and it's just nice to me that the lead of the show looks like someone I could see myself in as a little kid. but yeah, seeing your comment just reminded me of that thought I had earlier today
My school did Beauty and the Beast this year and this was my absolute favourite song I would just stop and listen whenever this song was being sung, and our Beast worked soooo hard on it and it sounded perfect
I hope I can live up to this song and the work put into it by others. Unfortunately I am female and don't have the correct vocal range so hopefully it won't sound to bad with my voice.
Beauty and the Beast, The Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserables are 3 of my favorite musicals and they all take place in France. I guess I just need to go to France someday
when they play the theme music from the movie prologue at 2:22, that's when it becomes perfect - the next time you watch the movie, you remember his words as it starts the story: Long ago I should have seen All the things I could have been
The first time I listened to this I was taken aback by the "No spirit could win me" part. Part of it was I didn't expect a song for The Beast to go up so high, part of it was that...damn, that's some seriously good singing.
I was the Beast in a recent production a few days ago, and I was absolutely honored to sing this song. I'm still plucking the leftover Spirit Gum from my face. So worth it.10/10 would do again.
This song could be perfect for Erik (the phantom of the opera) too and songs like this just make me want to give them both a big hug and let them know that someone is there for them
km valentine I don't think it was written for the movie at the time the movie came out, it was written specifically for the Broadway show........it's a gorgeous song!
Adam King Actually none of the stage songs are in the live action version. Rather than this they are having the beast sing the song "Evermore" which I think doesn't really compare to this song.
I think Evermore actually sounded very similar to this song and it kinda felt like they were just writing a different version of this song. Evermore was good but to me it felt like they were kinda rewriting the same song to be eligible for an Oscar.
This song makes me so incredibly sad, but the character development is amazing, and his voice is so fantastic!! I would love to perform this song one day, even if I am a girl :)
Oh my the oboe right at 2:00 pierces my band nerd heart. Maybe it's just me loving my own instrument but oboe is so perfect at expressing the emotion of this song especially.
You know... After listening to this and Evermore, I really understand why they wrote a new song. This is a VERY theater song. The entire make up of the song was clearly written for performance on a stage. I actually get a pretty strong Phantom of the Opera vibe from it. So it makes sense for them to write a song more meant for a theatrical presence.
I completely agree! I love both songs, but Evermore fits a more mature Beast, and the place it comes in just makes sense for a film. I do however HATE that the Live Action doesn't even show Beast's remorse for scaring Belle out of the castle. The musical gives us an entire song about that regret, and how awful he feels, the cartoon shows us a brief moment of him chastising himself, but the live action just cuts away, giving us nothing until he comes to save her. It was so disappointing.
So disappointed this wasn't in the movie. The one that he sang in its place didn't even come close to the caliber of this song. I missed it so much. This one and Home. Also Gaston's song wasn't in it. Disappointing. That's why I'm here right now. Just to hear the original Broadway cast. I saw the show on Broadway three times the year it came out in 1994. I told everyone how wonderful it was, so so many people went to NYC to see it. A great year. The original Broadway cast did such a great job. When I saw it, I said GASTON LIVES! That guy was great! The movie Gaston was okay, but this Broadway Gaston was superb. All of them were.
I remember singing this for my high school play auditions when we were doing Beauty and the Beast over 5 years ago. And I remembered every time I sang that song, I was moved with the lyrics and piano that played with it. And I teared up before the ‘if I can’t love her then who?’ part. And it end up being soo good, that my director cried on my audition for the Beast. And it would go out to be and I quote from my old director ‘The best high school play I’ve ever produced in my life’. Many good memories from that play, which I can always look back and say, ‘I did that’.
yeah.... I mean Evermore was a perfectly fine song, and the new movie wasn't terrible, but I don't get why they made new songs when they could've done the stage version.
I may be remembering wrong, but I think at one point Erik(the Phantom) was thinking in thoughts similar to this song...particularly near the end of the book.
Terrence Mann is the best Beast and he shows so much emotion. I still can't believe he was Frank 'N' Furter and in Addams Family, this is in my opinion his best role I've seen him in
I was fortunate enough to see this live. Not in New York, but Oklahoma City. It was magnificent and truly a wonder to behold. I was also very young around the age of seven.
I had the honor of playing Beast in Beauty and the Beast. I'm sad that after hearing this song I didn't cry when I watched the musical. When I saw the live action movie, I balled my eyes out at Evermore. I don't know why but Evermore to me is more impactful. It's just my opinion. But I really love this song and I would love to hear Dan Stevens sing it. Maybe then I'd cry? I don't know but I do hope that someday, when I see someone play Beast, that I'll ball my eyes out at this song.
I worked tech on this musical in high school. To this day I’ve never heard anyone sing this better than our actor for Beast. Teared up every single rehearsal and every single show. Oh how I wish I could hear it again. The actor’s name was Tino Zapata.
I just got cast as Beast in my local theatre's production of B&B. First few rehearsals have been a blast!! This is such a beautiful song and it is so much fun to sing. I'm very excited for this show. It's the second show I've ever done, and the second lead I've gotten and I am quite proud of myself.
my high school did this musical last year. one of my friends was the beast and he absolutely loved this song and did it sooo amazingly. he was so talented but he graduated in the spring-- miss you isaac!
Kyle Vanwinkler break a leg and have fun!!!! It's a great roll and I'm sure you would do great!!! Just remember "Acting is one side of a person. Look for all the sides of a person on and off stage"
I personally love the score (one of the hardest that we have performed) and we found this playlist to be VERY helpful to us to get an idea of what the singers are doing and our particular instruments, so thanks for posting this :)
@@MarianaGarciaGrijalva I was so excited watching the movie bc the intro to evermore sounds like this song so I was like OMG THEY PUT IT IN THE MO-...this ...this isn't the same song... *pouts* *rewinds the movie and actually listens to the words*...Hm... Fine... I love this one too.. xD
We did Beauty and the Beast this year, and I played violin in Pit Orchestra. This was by far my favorite song of the show and our Beast would make me cry every time he sang it. He worked so hard on it and I am so proud of him!
I have been cast for beast and I must say he might be the one of the hardest characters to become. I have been the dentist in the little shop of horrors and he was so much easier then beast. Beast is a very sad hurt character but yet has to be fearsome and Orin (the dentist) was a ladies man and was evil kind of like Gaston. And I hope that I can do it. If anyone has tips I am very willing to try them.
I act back and forth between man-like and beast-like depending on the scene. If he's being gentle and kind, stand as if you're a human. However, during ranting scenes where he yells, I tend to stoop or even crouch, and run low to the ground. Carry your arms out, shoulders wide, etc. I hope that this advice may help :) do what's most comfortable for you though.
SGP Productions I have not played Beast, but from productions I have seen, bmanfugitt and you both have great ideas. Find balance in human vs animal movement. And this may just be me but towards where Beast and Belle's feelings blossom and open more (around Something There I think.) he acts a bit nervous when told to do nice things like compliment Belle's dress (think like nervous school boy but not too campy) also But of course play Beast as you see him for me what sold Beast for me on an emotional level was how during Something There he seemed to open up very much because he confided to Belle that he could not read and they relate on how odd and alone both feel but bond like little kids over a book.
I'm singing this song for vocal lessons (I changed all the hers to hims) and I absolutely love this song! ;A; I cry every time, I swear. I made my vocal teacher cry
"No spirit could win me. No hope left within me".
It sounds oddly triumphant as the words are sung with such conviction
OblivionHelena To me, he's completely convinced that there's no hope anymore. The ending of the song is practically suicidal. His conviction isn't really a good thing is this circumstance
Oh of course, it's definitely not a good thing for the character. It's really tragic.
I was simply referring to the way the lines were sung and the acting ability of Terrence Mann.
I see it as a declaration that he WILL learn to love her, with the kind of all-or-nothing approach that involves taking a risk on your last hope. I think it's a shift in attitude from the beginning of the song, when he was melancholy and tragic and hopeless. It does sound triumphant, and I think that's intentional as he gathers the resolve to learn to love her.
Ok i can see it with that perspective.
You really don't love someone until you are ready to die for them.
It's why this song is SO MUCH BETTER for this part of this movie than Evermore.
If he can't love Belle, than there is no more reason to live...and it would be a worthy death.
I would even go so far as to say that Evermore isn't about Belle at all. That if you listen to the words divorced from the context...it could just as easily be sung about the Enchantress...
Beast:
And in my twisted face
There's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints of kindness
And from my tortured shape
No comfort, no escape
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Hopeless
As my dream dies
As the time flies
Love a lost illusion
Helpless
Unforgiven
Cold and driven
To this sad conclusion
No beauty could move me
No goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't love her
No passion could reach me
No lesson could teach me
How I could have loved her and make her love me too
If I can't love her, then who?
Long ago I should have seen
All the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward
No pain could be deeper
No life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love her
No spirit could win me
No hope left within me
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free
But it's not to be
If I can't love her
Let the world be done with me.
ThatOneTheatreGuy thanks❤️
Thanks man
Thank you!!
This song always gives me chills, even though I've listened to it a million times in a row already.
+Arcee Right? Over and over it's good.
+Arcee I feel like I'm listening to The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack again. :)
I've got chills listening to it right now. So sad it's not in the movie. Maybe the movie cast couldn't sing all the good songs.
I completely feel the same
Susan Knight look it on the bright side, evermore has similar melody elements to the best known broadway song
This song is soooooooo haunting and beautiful... And Terrence Mann voice is so powerful, moving and yet so soothing!!! I hear it every night before going to sleep and works like a charm!
The bridge of this song is so great (well, the whole song is so great). I love when Alan Menken - or any composer - takes a motif I've always loved and puts lyrics to it :)

Steve Blanchard played both roles.

Still devastated that this won't be in the live action movie.
I KNOWWWWW
+spiritskyes WHAT?!
+spiritskyes It should be in it though!! This song is so emotional and just absolutely heartbreaking to listen to.
WHAT theres a live action movie no way and this song wont be in it nnnnnnnnooooooo
+Reina Arana Yep, coming out next year. Emma Watson is Belle. Alan Menken said that none of the songs from the stage musical will be in the movie.
Easily top five best songs ever written for a male voice. It gives me the same chills as memory from cats. I wish it was in the film
Terrence Mann (The Beast) interpreted Rum Tum Tugger in Cats. It is like a coincidence.
Best version from the play. In neither film
For baritones yeah
I am getting the honour of playing The Beast in my school's production, and I am very, very excited to sing this song!
Good luck buddy! (^-^)
Break a leg! you should record it and put it on your youtube
meangirl714 I will see what I can do! Thanks :)
Same here, man! My school's production opens this March. Can't wait to perform If I Can't Love Her.
same here
am i the only one who thinks this is the best song in the entire show?
yes
Katie Freisem I’m with you totally! It’s fun to play loud on a good sound system! I was so disappointed when the movie came out, and they replaced it with a song I didn’t care for! The orchestration on the Stage production is so great too!! ❤️

Jema Condon same with my school
That is our school's musical right now, I am the wardrobe!!
If the "no spirit could win me" part doesn't make every hair on your body stand on end I don't what could 😱
My favorite part is when he says " I move onward" sooo good😍
+Zahra Slimani my ones is no pain could be deeper, no life could be cheaper
+Hannah Beth for me, it's "Long ago, I should have seen all the things I could have been. Careless and unthinking, I moved onward!"
+Hannah Beth YES AND THERES LIKE A BIG TRUMPET PART WITH IT AND ITS JUST EHLIAKFEBHF
Did you mean "no spirit could win me" in the climax or in the first chorus, "no beauty could move me?"
What I love most about this song is it adds lyrics to the melody of the Prologue!
Sounds like the phantom. :D
Come to think of, did Terrence Mann ever play the Phantom? He certainly has the voice for it. :)
Don't think he did. Yep he definetly does though :)
I'm doing this song, Bring him Home from Les Mis, and Music of the Night from Phantom at a recital.
So I'm kinda Phantom and Beast. And Valjean.
KRUDDYMUSICIAN Awesome! Have fun!
Beauty and the Beast, The Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserables are 3 of my favorite musicals and they all take place in France. I guess I just need to go to France someday

I have never heard this comparison before, and how I can't get the smell of salted caramel out of my mind.
Thanks.
My director said the exact same thing about my voice. Is this some actual phrase?
I've never heard that comparison before, but somehow it fits so well, I will now be comparing everyone's voices to foods, lol
Can confirm
My voice is more like leftover spaghetti for the ears
This beautiful song just makes my heart ache, the emotion so wrenching. Love Terrance Mann's rendition.
The first time I heard this, I was in tears.
I know
The 47th time I heard this, I was in tears. :p
Patrick R same
ArashiAiko same!
i'd love to hear Dan sing this song, his voice is amazing shame it wasn't in the live action. this guy has a really good voice as well though 😊
I prefer this song than “Evermore.” it’s more heartbreaking, powerful, and has a more memorable melody in my opinion. 🙂😭
It's so much better than evermore
I love both.
I would still prefer to have them both. I'm too greedy I know. XD
I 100% agree wholeheartedly!
Blasphemy
I was the Beast in a recent production a few days ago, and I was absolutely honored to sing this song.
I'm still plucking the leftover Spirit Gum from my face. So worth it.10/10 would do again.
+Bennett Salter we used elastic strapps instead of spirit gum for my attire. But we did use spirit gum for maurices beard
This song could be perfect for Erik (the phantom of the opera) too and songs like this just make me want to give them both a big hug and let them know that someone is there for them
Andrea Passino I️ thought the same thing
Listen to Ramin’s version. It’s in the London key.
Yes
I love this so much. Such a shame it wasn't in the movie.

just out of curiosity what did you not like about evermore? i thought it was an absolutely phenomenal song!
which part of "evermore" did you not like? Im completely biased to it because it made me ugly cry XD but I am curious about why you didn't like it.
I think Evermore actually sounded very similar to this song and it kinda felt like they were just writing a different version of this song. Evermore was good but to me it felt like they were kinda rewriting the same song to be eligible for an Oscar.

BAAAAAAH that key change is amazing.
So pissed this song isn't in the movie!
Not Carlie Evermore is really good though
yeah.... I mean Evermore was a perfectly fine song, and the new movie wasn't terrible, but I don't get why they made new songs when they could've done the stage version.
I personally feel Evermore gives too much of a hopeful vibe. Where at this point in the story Beast has given up completely.
Pallaton they should have done both.
Not in it because they wanted best original music
Love this song so much. Can't stop listening to it.
I'm not the only one who thinks that this could fit the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera???
The Phantom if he decided to kill himself instead of Raoul.
I may be remembering wrong, but I think at one point Erik(the Phantom) was thinking in thoughts similar to this song...particularly near the end of the book.
nope
Me.
good
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for four days and I couldn’t figure it out till I played the tune on the piano and sent it to my sister!!!
Terrence Mann is the best Beast and he shows so much emotion. I still can't believe he was Frank 'N' Furter and in Addams Family, this is in my opinion his best role I've seen him in
I love it when people sing with all their hearts
jerkygirlx ok
Yes me too!
Don't mind me, I'm just sweeping my shattered heart from the floor.
right?????
Aww man every time 😂
I love this song soooooo much!!!!
I just saw the play a week ago in person it is phenomenal. This song brought tears to my eyes.
I love this song so much! It's my favourite out of the whole soundtrack!
I love this song and movie. Especially the Broadway version. Very powerful
me too i love both of them as well
this beats evermore in my opinion
Absolutely breathtaking. All of the Beast's solos deserve to be in the the movie, and all of them deserve all of the credit.
I was fortunate enough to see this live. Not in New York, but Oklahoma City. It was magnificent and truly a wonder to behold. I was also very young around the age of seven.
I had the honor of playing Beast in Beauty and the Beast. I'm sad that after hearing this song I didn't cry when I watched the musical. When I saw the live action movie, I balled my eyes out at Evermore. I don't know why but Evermore to me is more impactful. It's just my opinion. But I really love this song and I would love to hear Dan Stevens sing it. Maybe then I'd cry? I don't know but I do hope that someday, when I see someone play Beast, that I'll ball my eyes out at this song.
This song makes me feel some type of way 😭😭😭
the freaking horn glissando makes me hyped every time
Better then any of the new songs on BATB 2017, this made me cry so much at the show
I had hoped they would have put this song in the live action version
Easily top five best songs ever written for a male coice. It gives me the same chills as memory from cats. I wish it was in the film
As good as "Evermore" was in the newest movie, this song still gives me chills every time I hear it!
Best song in the soundtrack! Or at least one of the tops. So sad this wasn’t in the movies!
This is by far my favorite-the person playing beast while I'm in ensemble is magnificent
I worked tech on this musical in high school. To this day I’ve never heard anyone sing this better than our actor for Beast. Teared up every single rehearsal and every single show. Oh how I wish I could hear it again. The actor’s name was Tino Zapata.
I just got cast as Beast in my local theatre's production of B&B. First few rehearsals have been a blast!! This is such a beautiful song and it is so much fun to sing. I'm very excited for this show. It's the second show I've ever done, and the second lead I've gotten and I am quite proud of myself.
I love all of the beats solos. So so so very beautiful
2:24 My Favorite Part
As of 6/2/2016, Gaston has made 23 accounts and down voted this song.....
Christian Ostermeier as of 11/1/16 it is now 35. Damn that Gaston. No one dislikes like Gaston.
Haha! I guess he did survive that fall!
How did u know that?
90
Gaston had a fairly decent year in 2017 getting his crew to dislike this song from 35 to 90!
Can't wait for March, when my school's production of this show opens! I was fortunate enough to be cast as the Beast! I'm so excited :D
I am too bro
my high school did this musical last year. one of my friends was the beast and he absolutely loved this song and did it sooo amazingly. he was so talented but he graduated in the spring-- miss you isaac!
2:20 this song is from East Wing, which was pulled from Saint Saëns Aquarium. Look into that song. It is beautiful
Favorite song from the Broadway soundtrack. I also loved Evermore in the live action film.
Such a great experience to play The Beast and perform this great song. Good luck to any and all future Beasts out there
i am going to be the beast for our school's rendition of this musical and i am so pumped to sing this song and the others involved
Kyle Vanwinkler break a leg!
Kyle Vanwinkler break a leg and have fun!!!! It's a great roll and I'm sure you would do great!!! Just remember "Acting is one side of a person. Look for all the sides of a person on and off stage"
Thank you for the great words @tim wilkins and to you @principessa101
Lol same, I was the only to try out for beast :p
007smoshassaisansper I was not the only one to do it but I was the best fit out of the others
I love this song sooooo much!!!!! I love the movie, but this is my favorite song from the stage musical.:)
Terrence Mann and Susan Egan are the best together! They totally rocked this show!
I'm really and sad that this and home weren't sung in the live action movie. But I'm happy that they incorporated both of them instrumentally
I love the song. It touches my heart.
I watch this broadway musical it was the most amazing experience I could ever have I wish I could watch it again
I personally love the score (one of the hardest that we have performed) and we found this playlist to be VERY helpful to us to get an idea of what the singers are doing and our particular instruments, so thanks for posting this :)
This song >>>>>evermore
미녀와야수 영화보고 옛날 뮤지컬때 좋았던 노래가안나와서 엄청찾았는데 그노래 드디어찾았다ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
Had to sing this for production last year. Absolutely loved it!
This song gives me tears... I just did this show and this song was one of my favorites!
If I Can't Love Her>Evermore.
They're both beautiful, both composed by Alan Menken himself, if I remember correctly.
@@MarianaGarciaGrijalva I was so excited watching the movie bc the intro to evermore sounds like this song so I was like OMG THEY PUT IT IN THE MO-...this ...this isn't the same song... *pouts* *rewinds the movie and actually listens to the words*...Hm... Fine... I love this one too.. xD
Both are beautiful, but this one makes a lot more sense.
I absolutely ADORE Evermore, but this song moves me to tears every time.
i LOVE this song.
The Evermore before Evermore
Thanks for uploading!
We did Beauty and the Beast this year, and I played violin in Pit Orchestra. This was by far my favorite song of the show and our Beast would make me cry every time he sang it. He worked so hard on it and I am so proud of him!
I have been cast for beast and I must say he might be the one of the hardest characters to become. I have been the dentist in the little shop of horrors and he was so much easier then beast. Beast is a very sad hurt character but yet has to be fearsome and Orin (the dentist) was a ladies man and was evil kind of like Gaston. And I hope that I can do it. If anyone has tips I am very willing to try them.
I'm playing the Beast as well this March :) Any specific advice you're looking for?
His movement. I have the way to act with specking but with the way he moves I'm not really sure.
I act back and forth between man-like and beast-like depending on the scene. If he's being gentle and kind, stand as if you're a human. However, during ranting scenes where he yells, I tend to stoop or even crouch, and run low to the ground. Carry your arms out, shoulders wide, etc. I hope that this advice may help :) do what's most comfortable for you though.

I have not played Beast, but from productions I have seen, bmanfugitt and you both have great ideas. Find balance in human vs animal movement. And this may just be me but towards where Beast and Belle's feelings blossom and open more (around Something There I think.) he acts a bit nervous when told to do nice things like compliment Belle's dress (think like nervous school boy but not too campy) also But of course play Beast as you see him for me what sold Beast for me on an emotional level was how during Something There he seemed to open up very much because he confided to Belle that he could not read and they relate on how odd and alone both feel but bond like little kids over a book.
TheActor93 Your very right thanks.
Goosebumps.
Evermore was a good song, but I really wish they'd used this one. It's so sad. It really makes you feel the Beast's desperation and pain.
Absolutely brilliant!
Beautiful!
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
This is a way better song than Everymore.
This song is amazing😍
Doing this in high school, love this song. I play the young Prince and we do a sweet mirror scene
I just almost burst into tears while listening to it
My hearts melting
I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this
Honestly, this is probably one of the best songs in the history of Broadway.
... About a hero known as Gaaaaalavant!
You have discovered something dark and powerful and I don't care for it.
I'm singing this song for vocal lessons (I changed all the hers to hims) and I absolutely love this song! ;A; I cry every time, I swear. I made my vocal teacher cry
that's the power of Alan Menken
+NekoHanyouHanaru awww I'd do that if my voice teacher lets me
+Rose Uchiha ok
Why'd you change the gender pronouns, though? You some kind of homophobe??
+tandnmom100 not at all! ^-^ I quite support the LGBTQ+ community - I'm just Hetero myself. I would hope that there's nothing wrong with that?
This is amazing!
I love this song
As someone who is going to be playing the beast, I have massive respect for his vocals in this song
