    Lyrics:
    I'm bad news, a black and blues-er
    Who's a loser, a merry-go-round spiralling down
    I'm all used up, I'm chaffed and chewed up
    Who's just screwed up, the same old Charlie hitting the ground
    'Cause I'll never be the soul of a man, noble and wise
    Like the soul of a man who lifted me high
    Like the soul of a man, heroic and true
    Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
    What else could I do?
    Stupid hubris, no excuses
    I blew my fuses, I guess I'm just a ruse in my father's shoes
    Not amusin', no confusin' this streak of losin'
    Totally brutal and useless too
    How can I be the soul of a man, noble and wise
    Like the soul of a man who lifted me high?
    Like the soul of a man, heroic and true
    Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
    What else could I-
    Just when I'm reaching for that rung at the top
    On that broken heel steady, and ready, ready to drop
    When will I be the soul of a man, noble and wise
    Like the soul of a man who lifted me high?
    Soul of a man, heroic and true
    Like the soul of a man I looked up to
    What else could I do?
    I'll never be, no I'll never be
    I have gone and let you down
    Whoa, soul, soul of a man
    Here comes that familiar sound
    Same old Charlie hittin' the ground
    (Ahhh!)

    Why in the hell is everybody comparing Stark with Brendon? Brendon is indeed a great Charlie Price, but please don't compare Stark & Killian to other Charlie EVER!!!!!

  • @ghostfacesfinalgirl
    @ghostfacesfinalgirl 7 років тому +1004

    I hate to be that person, but I just hope y'all realize that Stark ORIGINATED THIS ROLE. Y'all cannot listen to Brendon's version and say that Stark sang it wrong when he is the original Charlie Price, HE was the original voice for Charlie Price. Y'all really need to learn how to respect your faves without bashing others. Trust me, I think Brendon is great, but no one will ever do a better Charlie Price than the original Charlie Price. Stark Sands is the Tony award nominee, not Brendon Urie.

    • @unidentifiedname6559
      @unidentifiedname6559 7 років тому +21

      Cailyn Charron Yeah they're both great but the original is always better.However,Brendon has had more singing experience while Stark is a musical actor so it's pretty understandable why people like Brendon's version better (This is still great and emotional though,no doubt about that)

    • @tessmastro5708
      @tessmastro5708 6 років тому +30

      Didn't realize people couldn't have opinions anymore. Look I love both and yes people can be better than the original. Example "And I Will Always Love You" was originally by Dolly Parton but the cover by Whitney Houston was way better. The reason I like Brendons version better is because he has more vocal experience and I prefer his voice more. Nobody is saying this version sucks they're saying they like Brens more.

    •  6 років тому +16

      while i agree that people shouldn't disrespect Stark as Charlie, you know, there *are* people (like myself!) who like Brendon's version better. Stark's voice is just not my cup of tea and Brendon's is, simple as that.

  • @emerycohen6309

    People always say that Brendon's was less emotional, I didn't really understand that because Brendon is a singer and puts so much emotion into his singing. But now that I see this video I get the fact that Brendon is a singer first actor second so his performance is just as beautiful but Stark Stands is a musical actor and really puts a ton of emotion into his singing.

    Stark’s version IS the BEST version and it’s also the original. Brendon is FANTASTIC (and he DOES sing it half an octave lower than Stark does), but this is PHENOMENAL. The originator of the role is ALWAYS the best in it, at least this is what I have seen on Broadway. Just like we can’t imagine Elphaba without thinking of Idina Menzel the same is true here. You can’t think of Charlie Price without thinking of Stark Sands. When I sing this (and in it's original key it's an INSANE song to sing), it's Stark's version that I strive to emulate. He's ELECTRIC. NO ONE can top him.❤️😍

    I don't know why Brendon Urie's fans are so eager to throw Sands under the bus - I've seen some of his performances here on YT and while he might be a good singer his acting is nothing to write home about, and Sands is far better in the role imo.
