    So, just to make you cry more when you see "It's Quiet Uptown" at the end when Eliza starts crying those were genuine tears because the actress lost a family member right before performances and you can see Lin stop crying and check on her in genuine concern. That part, that realization and knowledge makes me sob every time

    Do people cry more with “It’s Quiet Uptown” than with “Who lives, Who dies, who tells your story”? Every time Eliza says “In their eyes I see you, Alexander”, I cry and cry and cry. I can’t stop thinking on Eliza mourning him for her entire life.

    When Renee Elise starts “There are moments that the words don't reach

    You hold your child as tight as you can
    And push away the unimaginable
    The moments when you're in so deep
    It feels easier to just swim down” I’m tearing up but when “forgiveness” is sung so sweetly, that breaks the levy & the tears flow! Also “who lives who dies who tells your story!” The harmonies with “I rely on Angelica
    While she's alive, we tell your story” and “the orphanage”! Lin had been foreshadowing that the whole entire musical, using the word orphan over & over again!! Brilliant!

    Most of these songs make my cry, but I think words fail and quiet uptown are the saddest songs ever. I have never listened to them without crying. Another sad song that I think she missed is stay alive reprise from Hamilton, because it’s so sad. Every time, I cry, especially when I hear Eliza cry out at the end. It gets me every time.
