Shit...I always break down at the orphanage part...Alex would have been SO PROUD to see that children were being given the second chance he had to suffer to get.
Same and then you see on stage with Alex going up behind her and they both go to the opposite sides and they just smile at one another like they are finally being reunited at last after she sings that line. Cue the tears.
Normally, I can sing, but for some reason I can’t sing this song. Something tells me its the large amount of grotesque sobbing I’m doing, but what do I know.
this song mentions time a lot and the word "time" is like how i fell in love with hamilton. what i mean is in the first song of the whole musical, (Alexander Hamilton) when they sing "you never backed down, you never learned to take your, TIIIIIIIIIIIME OH!" the way the whole cast sang together made me listen to the rest... and here i am😂
you should totally do a Stay Alive (Reprise) and maybe even It's quiet uptown :00 This was really good btw Also!! Is it okay if i use some of these for a cover?
What is so amazing about this song is one of the last lines Eliza sings, “Will they tell my story?” Girl, not only did they tell your story, there’s a whole musical about you, Eliza HAMILTON. So many people believe that this musical is about Alexander ONLY. Man, it’s about both of them.
I cannot thank you enough, this is so great. And it is the only thing out there like it! I have been using it non-stop (pun intended). Any chance you'll get to a "Best of Wives and Best of Women" karaoke with Eliza's part open?
This song gets me progressively for 1 simple reason. Eliza goes from saying will they tell YOUR story to saying will they tell OUR story to the last time saying will they tell MY story She knows she will probably be forgotten and be remberes as just hamiltons wife when she did so much on her own 💔
I still have goosebumps when we get to that part of "the orphanage" and Eliza singing the rest of it. Now that I'll be the one singing in this karaoke, I feel more goosebumps; I feel Eliza smiling at me and happy. It's crazy, I know.
AHHH i thought people were exaggerating when talking about how they fight back tears while singing this song. but I was singing it and WOOWWW my voice cracked not only cause i suck at singing but because my eyes are DYINNG and im SOBBBINNGGGG

The thing that makes me the saddest is that when she says "I cant't wait to see you again, it's only a matter of time" I just lose it because I just imagine Alexander looking down on her and just wanting to be with her so badly UGH the world is UnFaiR dang these onions
can you please do this one with no vocals (other than ensemble) and say no to this where you're alexander and maria? I'm doing hamilton in ten minutes for a school project next thursday and i'd really appreciate it!

I stopped singing because I started bawling
Morgan Alayna literally me almost everytime i sing or even listen to this song
I couldn't get past "the orphanage"
Do you know how much of a saint you are? I bet Lin-Manuel jams to these in the intervals or they use them as warm ups ahaha
Bahahaha no way! I would die if Lin found out about these. But I'm glad the fans are enjoying them! :)
I am sure he must know! Literally spend so much of my time watching/singing to these videos, so happy you post them! :)
oh my gosh you say bahaha just like lin you're perfect
Grace not to burst your bubble but I seriously doubt they sing Hamilton in between singing Hamilton lmao
Livy DiJoseph they actually do sing shit in between. Watch interviews tehehehe
Shit...I always break down at the orphanage part...Alex would have been SO PROUD to see that children were being given the second chance he had to suffer to get.
TrebleSketch same

I always cry at the “have I done enough?” Part because that just hits home with me :,)
Laura Neeter then u r not a true Hamilton fan or just don't have emotions

Because she stop wasting time on tears
This is very hard to sing with all the sobbing and whatnot.
Not for me
Not for me
Maddy Gowers TRUE
yes sobbing makes it really complicated. Also the uncontrollable cryint
Same as soon as I heard the orphanage I just started crying
My favorite line out of the whole musical: "Oh, I can't wait to see you again..." MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME
Ikr !!
It gives me shivers everytime, like just thinking about it 😬
Same and then you see on stage with Alex going up behind her and they both go to the opposite sides and they just smile at one another like they are finally being reunited at last after she sings that line. Cue the tears.
When you can sing Eliza but sound better as Maria but you’re in denial because you want to be Eliza so bad
YES
I sing more of a Phillip but I wanna be Eliza😂
And I'm a female
Opposite for me
Yup
i would love to have a maria voice

Lindsay Rafferty I used to sing Hamilton after school
Lindsay Rafferty Who needs after school when you can scream it during school.
Lindsay Rafferty me too
Me: I'm not going to cry I have no emotions
Me, singing this through tears: anD WHEN MY TIME IS UP, HAVE I DONE ENOUGH
you should totally do a Stay Alive (Reprise) and maybe even It's quiet uptown :00
This was really good btw
Also!! Is it okay if i use some of these for a cover?
Ikr! I wanna sing them!
Yes! Definitely Stay Alive reprise!
JeIleebean agree
THANK YOU, I needed this! I'm singing this as Eliza and I needed exactly this!! THANK YOUUU
What is so amazing about this song is one of the last lines Eliza sings, “Will they tell my story?”
Girl, not only did they tell your story, there’s a whole musical about you, Eliza HAMILTON.
So many people believe that this musical is about Alexander ONLY. Man, it’s about both of them.
I literally cried while singing at the end 😭
Why the heck I was crying whilst singing in the "The orpahanage~" section? Damn Lin ;-;
WHEN I TRIED TO READ I HELP TO RAISE HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN I SAID “I help raisins”
💀
Every time she says “I raise funds in D.C” and Washington’s all like “she tells my story” AHH I NEED TO CRY
Luke's Jefferson voice is on spot omg
Why am I crying about people that died hundreds of years ago? I don’t know, keep singing
Quiet uptown with Angelica's vocals open!!
Sugar Simmer also that one word of Eliza's
I cannot thank you enough, this is so great. And it is the only thing out there like it! I have been using it non-stop (pun intended). Any chance you'll get to a "Best of Wives and Best of Women" karaoke with Eliza's part open?
please!!!
Is it just me who liked this all for the non-stop pun.
This song gets me progressively for 1 simple reason. Eliza goes from saying will they tell YOUR story to saying will they tell OUR story to the last time saying will they tell MY story
She knows she will probably be forgotten and be remberes as just hamiltons wife when she did so much on her own 💔
Eliza stopped wasting time on tears 200 years ago but I'm still crying over this
STOP I LOVE THIS COMMENT SM HELP SAME
“oh i cant wait to see you again” GETS ME EVERY DAMN TIME
We stan only one Hamilton in this house and her name is Eliza. A true queen
The satisfying feeling of when you're singing then you match with the backing track right on time...
I still have goosebumps when we get to that part of "the orphanage" and Eliza singing the rest of it.
Now that I'll be the one singing in this karaoke, I feel more goosebumps;
I feel Eliza smiling at me and happy.
It's crazy, I know.
AHHH i thought people were exaggerating when talking about how they fight back tears while singing this song. but I was singing it and WOOWWW my voice cracked not only cause i suck at singing but because my eyes are DYINNG and im SOBBBINNGGGG
IT'S 3 IN THE MORNING AND I AM CRYING
I started singing Eliza's part and I was "I got this" then got about half way through and started crying uncontrollably
I'M FREAKIN' CRYING! WHY???!!!
*it's kind of hard to sing when you're choking on your own damn tears.*
Nice pfp :)
Even though theyre dead i keep imagining that they are the ones who are singing so thats why when i listen to hamilton songs i always cry 😢😢😢😭😭😭
I love how they end Hamilton on the same note.
I keep remembering how Lin was also crying his eyes out as he made this song XD its funny at first but it quickly goes down to tears
YOU'RE AMAZING FOR DOING THIS! THANK YOU!
these are definitely the best hamilton karaoke tracks on youtube!! can you do quiet uptown please??
2019? 2080?
Cause Hamilton songs will live forever ;)
yess
your amazing for making these videos💖
“you could’ve done so much more if you only had time” makes me break down everytime
Ug that last part gets me Everytime
This song always makes me cry, even this version **sobs** damn it
this song is the song i sing with the most emotions in my voice especially the “in their eyes i see you alexander” part!! My voice cracks everytime
i have a weird gift i don't cry during this song and with this gift it makes my voice crack when i sing
Is it just me that does the gasp at the end?
This song is so beautiful, I love singing it thank you!!!
THE ORPHANAGE 😩😩😭😭😭 I cried at that part
i am SOBBING
Orphanage gets me Everytime
Me in 1AM drinking coffee/caffeine:*sounds like a dying fish**
Me again:wait isn’t that illegal?
Right when the chorus just starts saying “who lives who dies who tells your story.” I start bawling right away.....
I got scared and gave myself chills and started crying 😂
OH MY GOSH U MADE THE MIRACLE HAPPENNNN EEEK! Thank you soooo much!!!!!!!!!!,
video: *no gasp*

*grunts*
Thank you so much I love this song
I absolutely love these videos, thank you so much. I really had no way of singing my own part before I found these. (Besides karaoke.)

"Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" lyrics
Original Broadway Cast Of Hamilton Lyrics
Play "Who Lives, Who Di…"
on Apple Music
"Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story"
[Washington:]
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control:
[Washington and Company:]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[Burr:]
President Jefferson:
[Jefferson:]
I'll give him this: his financial system is a work of genius
I couldn't undo it if I tried
And I tried
[Washington and Company:]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[Burr:]
President Madison:
[Madison:]
He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it, but he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us
[Washington and Company:]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[Angelica:]
Every other founding father's story gets told
Every other founding father gets to grow old
[Burr:]
But when you're gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?
[Burr and men (Angelica and women):]
Who tells your story?
(Who tells your story?)
Who tells your story? (Your story?)
[Women:]
Eliza
[Eliza:]
I put myself back in the narrative
[Women:]
Eliza
[Eliza:]
I stop wasting time on tears
I live another fifty years
It's not enough
[Company:]
Eliza
[Eliza:]
I interview every soldier who fought by your side
[Mulligan/Lafayette/Laurens:]
She tells our story
[Eliza:]
I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings
You really do write like you're running out of
[Eliza and Company:]
Time
[Eliza:]
I rely on
[Eliza and Angelica:]
Angelica
[Eliza:]
While she's alive
[Eliza and Angelica:]
We tell your story
[Eliza:]
She is buried in Trinity Church
[Eliza and Angelica:]
Near you
[Eliza:]
When I needed her most, she was right on
[Eliza and Company:]
Time
[Eliza:]
And I'm still not through
I ask myself, "What would you do if you had more?"
[Eliza and Company:]
Time
[Eliza:]
The Lord, in his kindness
He gives me what you always wanted
He gives me more
[Eliza and Company:]
Time
[Eliza:]
I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument
[Washington:]
She tells my story
[Eliza:]
I speak out against slavery
You could have done so much more if you only had
[Eliza and Company:]
Time
[Eliza:]
And when my time is up, have I done enough?
[Eliza and Company:]
Will they tell our story?
[Eliza:]
Oh. Can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[Company:]
The orphanage
[Eliza:]
I established the first private orphanage in New York City
[Company:]
The orphanage
[Eliza:]
I help to raise hundreds of children
I get to see them growing up
[Company:]
The orphanage
[Eliza:]
In their eyes I see you, Alexander
I see you every
[Eliza and Company:]
Time
[Eliza:]
And when my time is up
Have I done enough?
[Eliza and Company:]
Will they tell my story?
[Eliza:]
Oh, I can't wait to see you again
It's only a matter of
[Eliza and Company:]
Time
[Company:]
Will they tell your story?
(Time…)
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
(Time…)
Will they tell your story?
(Time…)
Who lives, who dies
[Full Company:]
Who tells your story
You are obviously a bigger fan than even me(IS THAT EVEN possible! )
Holly Hughes how idiotic can you be, it physically says that she copied and pasted it
Mari knows best yo chill, they did nothing wrong they may have not seen it.
@@Hannah-sv4pi seen what? the large print that obviously shows that shes copied it?
The thing that makes me the saddest is that when she says "I cant't wait to see you again, it's only a matter of time" I just lose it because I just imagine Alexander looking down on her and just wanting to be with her so badly UGH the world is UnFaiR
dang these onions
When I’m home alone : “YEAH IM HELPLESSSSSSSS!!!!!”
omg, thank you for doing this !!!!
i was looking for something like this!!
Admit it. No one finished this without crying
after years of trying, i can no longer sing eliza as well as i could, but now i can sing this without sobbing.
This is just truly beautiful, I like to sing to this because it helps me get the song down (and it's one of my favourite songs)
I always cry at the orphanage part when she says I worked at a orphanage
Holy crap. I finally understand James Madison’s line.
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED
When I hear Eliza sing it's like and angel. when i try to do this I sound like a dying duck.
My voice kept shaking through this whole thing because of the chills I get listening to it haha
this was my dream role
Everyone says they're sobbing while singing this, and I'm just here not sobbing???
Could you PLEASE make Stay Alive Reprise?
Thank you
xD Everyone's sobbing but I'm honestly grinning uncontrollably. Science side of UA-cam, please explain.
can you please do this one with no vocals (other than ensemble) and say no to this where you're alexander and maria? I'm doing hamilton in ten minutes for a school project next thursday and i'd really appreciate it!
WLWDWTYS Ensemble Only: ua-cam.com/video/B-Q0IzGCGtQ/v-deo.html
Say No To This Sing Alex and Maria: ua-cam.com/video/N5dz_RmrhtI/v-deo.html

I was crying while singing this. "In their eyes I see you Alexander." I'm crying for people who have died long time ago.
💕I love this so much!!💕
