I had tickets to the NYC showing and they closed it early before I got there. It's been years and I still feel sad about it. This song was magnificent.
It’s a fascinating score. I really wish Elton John would allow the OBC to be released. This show had so many eyes on it from its creative team to the source material. This was a great look and I really thank you for posting it Spiderwoman!
I saw the two of them together in Sweeney at the Barrow Street Theater, and when I met them after they were truly two of the kindest, most down to earth actors I've ever met. Thank you so much for posting :)
For those who aren't sure what this is, Lestat opened on Broadway after much revision and a new choreographer, on the 25th of April at the Palace Theater and closed on May the 28th 2006 after some very unflattering reviews by New York critics. . With music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin, and book by Linda Woolverton, it was based on Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series, this song is the last in Act 1
No doubt to hear the Broadway Lyrics remind me how great Carolee and Hugh were together but also how much the show deserves a second chance, no doubt Dracula and Tanz Der Vampire are better in Europe. If that OBR is ever released with a little interest the show might get a second chance
For so many years, we’ve shared this path together Kindred spirits in the path of history For you, the quest to heal is all that matters But it’s a different road I crave these days for me You dwell so on a cure for your creation And seek a ghost from our mythology For now, the wonders that the world can offer Mean more to me than ancient family trees To hear the waves pound the timbers of a schooner Fighting off the coastline of Cape Horn To travel in the shadow of the longboats To where the giants of the Arctic Ice were born The dangers in the the deep, dark Congo River Where the crocodile hunts and the python strikes To watch another predator in action Could rejuvenate some meaning in your life The thrill to hunt in such exotic places I can almost taste those beauties in Siam The brown-skinned boys of Mykonos and Rangoon The shy Chinese behind their painted fans My need to go is hard to fight I want to gaze upon this world Just like the Northern Lights And of all the things about you That I’m going to miss It's the bond we formed together Through this Crimson Kiss My son so dear, the world’s out there Mystery calls and I can’t resist But you and I have memories Bound together by the Crimson Kiss The wellspring of my strength unrestricted There’s so little I could fail to endure I could face a trek across the Himalayas Survive the freezing mists of Scottish moors My need to go is hard to fight I want to gaze upon this world Just like the Northern Lights And of all the things about you That I’m going to miss It's the bond we’ve formed together Through this Crimson Kiss My son so dear, the world’s out there Mystery calls and I can’t resist But you and I have memories Bound together by the Crimson Kiss My son so dear, the world’s out there Mystery calls and I can’t resist But you and I have memories Bound together by the Crimson Kiss

She was such a highlight of this show. Always amazing (and quite the class act). 💗

another amazing post!🙌🏼
Thanks, glad you enjoyed.
still searching for an instrumental for this wonderful song
For so many years, we’ve shared this path together
Kindred spirits in the path of history
For you, the quest to heal is all that matters
But it’s a different road I crave these days for me
You dwell so on a cure for your creation
And seek a ghost from our mythology
For now, the wonders that the world can offer
Mean more to me than ancient family trees
To hear the waves pound the timbers of a schooner
Fighting off the coastline of Cape Horn
To travel in the shadow of the longboats
To where the giants of the Arctic Ice were born
The dangers in the the deep, dark Congo River
Where the crocodile hunts and the python strikes
To watch another predator in action
Could rejuvenate some meaning in your life
The thrill to hunt in such exotic places
I can almost taste those beauties in Siam
The brown-skinned boys of Mykonos and Rangoon
The shy Chinese behind their painted fans
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the Northern Lights
And of all the things about you
That I’m going to miss
It's the bond we formed together
Through this Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world’s out there
Mystery calls and I can’t resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss
The wellspring of my strength unrestricted
There’s so little I could fail to endure
I could face a trek across the Himalayas
Survive the freezing mists of Scottish moors
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the Northern Lights
And of all the things about you
That I’m going to miss
It's the bond we’ve formed together
Through this Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world’s out there
Mystery calls and I can’t resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world’s out there
Mystery calls and I can’t resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS QUALITY?
Oh wow! Spiderwoman, this is awesome!!!
