Lin Manuel Miranda explained that with this song he wanted to showcase the speed at which Angelica's brain works. That's why the music gives a sense of a slower pace compared to the singing - because her brain is literally constantly dialed up, same as Alexanders'. If you see the live, this is emphasized by everyone moving really slowly around her. Love your reaction videos!
if you look at it that way, you can also hear that when she first talks with Alexander the music sounds faster than the singing, which is because how she says before she was so blown away by him, that she even forgot her own name. and that, my friends, is how you let music tell a story.
in addition to this, when Angelica interacts with other people it's like she slows down to their pace (when she slows her mind down to talk with Eliza then everyone else around her seems to be moving in normal speed and when she moves in slow motion to dance with Washington) but when she first talks to Alexander, she doesn't need to slow down to be able to communicate with him. His mind is moving just as fast as hers and he's able to meet her at her level.
Renee Elise Goldsberry is just that good. She learned this song in one day and was the only member of the original cast that never flubbed a single line on stage.
Nah, because it's cool to see how he interprets it "cold." Like notice how he picked up on the fact that Angelica was recalling an event just based on the music. It gives us a sense of what work the musicians did to convey the story. Although of course I would also like him to react to it AGAIN after having watched the show. So demanding.
I listened to the album before watching the musical and it’s a different sort of experience. The songs came alive and it gave me a great pre and post musical experience of listening to these songs.
this is amazing rythm wise.. She's perfectly on time and it's still sounding so light "easy" she's not in "hurry" .. it's very easy to rap too fast and sound like you're in hurry and it will become very messy and also hard to listen
She's exactly doing what you said. You're going to love it when you see it. The stage itself is a character in the play in a way. I can't believe you have the self control to not have already watched it.
To make it easier to understand; Angelica is the oldest Schuyler sister and as the oldest her job is to marry a rich man (because her father doesn’t have any sons, and thats pretty much all a woman could do back then). So at a party (this party takes place during A Winter’s Ball/Helpless), Angelica spots Hamilton first and really likes him. However, she knows she couldn’t marry him because he’s broke so she introduces him to her younger sister Eliza instead. Eliza and Hamilton get married, and Angelica sorta realizes that Hamilton is the one who got away. However she would never say that because she values Eliza’s feelings over her own. Essentially in this song Angelica is doing her maid of honor speech at their wedding but in her mind she’s replaying the night she let Hamilton slip through her fingers. Hope that helped :)
Great summary. In real life Angelica was already married at the time of A Winters Ball/when she met Alexander, however there are letters that have flirting between them that were saved.
@@alexbridge3847 Yep! And also, IRL she had older brothers, so that's a bit of artistic license--hey no harm, no foul. As an oldest daughter there'd be pressure for her to marry well either way.
@@kiwilerner And she was also already married to John Baker Church when the Schyler family met Alexander Hamilton. It just adds more dramatic tension to the story to rewrite it as her being single so that she could have married Hamilton but put her desires aside for her sister. Also, it was Baker Church who provided the pistols for both Philip Hamilton and Alexander Hamilton’s fatal duels.
You are going to have a field day with the stage production. This song is easily one of my favorites right behind wait for it and the room where it happens.
You HAVE to see how they stage this! A flashback scene ("rewind") performed live on stage. And yes, she spits out allll those words live on stage 8 performances a week. Did you do The Schuyler Sisters when those characters are introduced? I might have missed it.
Lol, you need to pay attention to the lyrics, friend. She literally explained it in the first line after the rewind, and they repeat lines form Helpless to indicate it's the same night.
@@JacobRestituto No shade, just a friendly tip, lol. This is actually the one single exception to my "lyric videos are blergh" rule, because the show is just *SO* verbally dense. Also, who do I have to sell my soul to, to have Renee's fountain of youth secrets?! She is almost 50 at this point, and looks like, 17 years younger than me, a 37 year old
@@JacobRestituto The singing sounds a bit different, more like they are acting together rather than recording songs in a studio. I'd be curious if your sophisticated ear would notice a difference in the music.
@@JacobRestituto the actor who plays Aron Bur actually does a much better job in the Disney+ recording, maybe because as an actor it's easier for him to get the emotions right when hes acting as well as singing rather than just singing
It's amazing that he was able to write the music in such a way that you could tell it was a memory scene before Renee even got to the line "I remember that night".
This was a great reaction. “Satisfied” is in my top 5 songs of the production. I saw someone else’s reaction to this and they called it “How to Win a Tony in 5 Minutes.” She definitely deserved it. I hope by now that you have viewed the whole thing. You will have one big “Aha!” moment.
I absolutely love how you break down the whole song and point out all the bits but sometimes I wish you listen to it through and then go back and break it down for these videos. You miss so much of the story when you stop out of appreciation for the production. Just a thought, since Hamilton is such a story. :) thanks for these videos!
The song starts with them at her sister and alexanders wedding, then it rewinds and goes back in time when they first met. how she loved him, but her sister was 'helplessly in love with him', so she let her have him. then it cuts back to the wedding
I just wanted to mention you are exactly right! She is rewinding back in time, and in the show they have a turntable that rewinds and they do the choreo from the previous song which is SO cool to watch. And fun fact, if you ever listen to Burn, Satisfied is just a sped up version of that song as well, noting the differences between Angelic and Eliza, especially since this melody is emphasized when Angelica speak to Eliza in this song.
I like how you explain any musical jargon you use. You don't assume that everyone knows those terms. You are right when you guessed that she goes back in her memory. He voice is just that great. You are spot on when you talk about how hard it is to tell a story. It took Lin 20,500 to tell Hamilton's story. If this were a convention musical it would end up being more like a 12 hour musical.
Love your videos! It's amazing how one song builds on the last. The whole musical is a callback to different points! Can't wait for your reaction video to Guns and Ships and watching the full musical! Thanks for doing these videos, they make my day better!
The cast says she’s one of the best freestylers and they would just be off in the wings waiting for their turn to come on stage, freestyling. Super rad. And also ... she raps and belts for what, 5-6 minutes solid ... IN A CORSET!!! And she never sounds breathless. Insane.
Jacob: it sounds like she's going in reverse or going back in her memories... Me: so, it sounds like she's...rewinding? I dunno, seems like a streeeetch 🤣
If you compare this to Helpless, there are elements they refer back to on this song because they’re rewinding to that moment. Everything you hear, they do live on stage - the music editing, echoes, mixing, and autotunes. This musical is a masterpiece.
She’s sounds so on key she sounds auto tuned is now my favorite reaction to Renee’s voice. Her voice is so trained and she’s so talented it is unbelievable.
At the end of this you should totally give us a Top 10!! First, it'll be funny to watch you struggle to pick a Top 10. But second, you are providing such a unique musical perceptive, id love to hear why your Top 10 are so.
This song is about how Angelica (Eliza’s sister) introduced her sister to Alexander, Alexander came to Angelica first but been the oldest she thought it would be best for her family if he marry her sister and not her even tho they had a thing while talking
It's been a week, but if you haven't seen the video yet, it may be really helpful because some of the performers play multiple different characters during Hamilton so just listening could get a little confusing. Great reaction, this is one of my favorites, but I like so many it's hard to pick just one favorite.
You should really see the show and listen to this in context because the reverse swell and all the reversal stuff is going back and recounting it you nailed it
I’ve been watching these lately and I just wanted to say “ hi!” but mostly I like your channel. And thank you for reviewing Hamilton. Question. Are you watching it while you’re sitting there? Rewind. Yes. That’s what they’re saying. You have to see Hamilton. You have to.😊
hey, i would recommend you react to dasu music videos. they're vocaloid music vids, but theyre really good imo. 86, gaya gaya puto maya, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and carbon are definitely some of my favs. all of them are good though.
I love how you education when you use musical terms. You don't assume that everyone knows all the jargon. You are right her voice is just that great. Back in memory. A very good guess, You are right! He had to use 20,500 words to tell the whole story! That is so over the top on the word. If Hamilton was done at the same rate as most musicals it would be about a 12 hour musical.
Yeah. The story they're telling is that originally Angelica was deeply attracted to him because he's not only good looking but is as fiercely intelligent as she is, but then she realized that 1) she's supposed to marry rich and he's poor and 2) her sister Eliza has fallen in love with him. Eliza could marry him because she's the younger sister and thus doesn't have to marry into money like Angelica, so Angelica gives Alexander to Eliza, even though it breaks her heart. The girl's nothing if not pragmatic.
Spoiler Alert: What's happening in the song is that Angelica, who's singing, is recalling first meeting Alexander and falling for him. But she sees her younger sister, Eliza, is also smitten with Alexander. And since it's Angelica's duty to marry up for money (Alexander is poor), she introduces him to Eliza. When Alexander and Eliza get married, Angelica rationalizes her happiness by saying at least she'll "still have Alexander's eyes in my life."
This song is probably the most historically inaccurate in Hamilton; there is no evidence that Angelica ever loved Hamilton, or vice versa. In fact, she was already married with children when she met him. They had a bit of a flirtatious relationship, but likely that was just their personalities. Philip Schuyler, the sisters' father, did have sons (I think he had 3 or 4), as well. THAT BEING SAID: this is one of the greatest songs of all time. I die every time I hear it.
"She's so perfectly on key, it almost sounds like she's autotuned, which I don't believe it is." You're absolutely right, Renée Elise Goldsberry is a QUEEN! It's insane how she was able to sing and rap so on point in one song. I can't wait for you to watch this live, mainly the amazing choreo for Winter's Ball/Helpless/Satisfied.
This song is about how Angelica (Eliza’s sister) introduced her sister to Alexander, Alexander came to Angelica first but been the oldest she thought it would be best for her family if he marry her sister and not her even tho they had a thing while talking
Stage production of Helpless followed by Satisfied is insane. I hope at some point you watch and post your reaction to the whole film because it just adds another layer to it. I listened to the soundtrack to the point of knowing a lot of it by heart before I ever saw the film and it still had such impact to get the visuals.
I told my best friend she had to learn the music before we went to the show. There's so much happening on the stage you don't need to be trying to figure out what the story is being told in the songs.
This song is such a treat to watch. The stage choreography is a replay of Winter's Ball and Helpless as Angelica remembers events from her perspective. She is indeed talking about Alexander, who she gave up on due to social pressure and her love for her sister Eliza. Love your music analysis for these songs, and please keep listening to Hamilton!
The moment we’ve been waiting for. (Right hand man pun). You’ll notice Aaron Burr is the one who always introduces characters. Jesus I can’t wait for you to react to Guns and Ships, Washington on Your Side and Reynold’s Pamphlet
As you guessed, this is a flashback-- this song replays the scenes of the previous two songs, from Angelica's point of view. -- *Did you catch the echo in the background, of the guys calling out, "Ladies!" (from A Winter's Ball")?* And yes; both sisters fell in love with Alexander, but the older sister (Angelica) chose to give him up for Eliza'a sake.
There is an interview with Alex Lacamoire (Hamilton Music Director) where he says that all the music is performed live except for the "Rewind" section of Satisfied. They found that pre-recorded sound did not work well for the show, except it is needed for that section. The presentation is beautiful in the Disney+ pro-shot.
I don't know if someone else has mentioned this but one of my favourite things in Hamilton is how Lin reuses the same melody for each character... You'll notice that that melody of the piano here in Angelica's solo is the same melody that is used in "The Schuyler sisters" when Angelica is being introduced farely in the background, almost subliminally connecting that melody to this specific character. He's truly a musical genius in my eyes.
@@JacobRestituto it's possible I got this wrong 😅 but it's definitely the same melody in "take a break" (a song in the second act) when Angelica is coming back for the first time in this act.
That musical technique is called a leitmotif, which isn't anything new. However Lin is very good at creating super adaptable leitmotif phrases rather than just playing entire songs when a character hits center stage.
I recently found Rent, the filmed version of the stage musical. I only learned about Renee Elise Goldsberry from Hamilton, which is nuts. She’s amazing. If you look up Rent, she sings so beautifully, truly gorgeous songs. I have incredible respect for Hamilton (I adore Jonathan Groff’s voice and charisma). One thing Hamilton has done for me, is introduce me to such musical talent, which I’m grateful for.
Angelica - the one singing - liked Alexander, but as she was already married and her sister - Eliza - already liked him, she decided to introduce them and endorse their marriage, without ever saying that she's in love with him. She spent her entire life loving him and not saying anything, because she valued her sister's happiness more than her own. If you haven't, listen to "guns and ships" and "my shot". Actually, listen to the whole thing.
The music in itself is absolutely amazing and once you understand the story and know the meaning behind the songs, you'll appreciate it on a whole new level. Probably not the first or last to say this, but watching the whole musical is totally worth it!!
What's your favorite song from Hamilton??
My favourite sequence of songs is Winters Ball, Helpless, & Satisfied - but my overall favourite song is Wait for it.
Nice!!
Right hand man and non-stop get me every time. They just feel like such powerful songs, I get pumped up!
Mine is "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story"
NON-STOP!!!
Lin Manuel Miranda explained that with this song he wanted to showcase the speed at which Angelica's brain works. That's why the music gives a sense of a slower pace compared to the singing - because her brain is literally constantly dialed up, same as Alexanders'.

His mind is moving just as fast as hers and he's able to meet her at her level.
Well guys, thank you for all this new explanations, now my heart is more broken than before hahahahaha 😢

renee elise goldsberry is a legend
She’s a great actress and an even greater singer, and she’s beautiful. Taking all the crowns!
If I'm not mistaken, didn't she perform this song at her audition? And did so perfectly and that's what got her the part?
Am I the only one who wants him to watch the movie before he finishes listening to the soundtrack hahah
Nahhh

"I know my own sister like I know my own mind, you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind" I CRY every time I hear this it's SO BEAUTIFUL
ics
Renee Elise Goldsberry won the Tony for her performance in this show - this song alone was probably enough to have the judges Satisfied 😉
this is amazing rythm wise.. She's perfectly on time and it's still sounding so light "easy" she's not in "hurry" .. it's very easy to rap too fast and sound like you're in hurry and it will become very messy and also hard to listen
completely agree
During the "rewind", the stage rotates.
Lin said when Renee came in for her audition, she had this entire song memorized and sang it perfect.
woah, that's crazy
Omg this is it, what we've all been waiting for 😄 I just hope we haven't over-hyped this for you
not one bit. definitely my favorite so far!
You can’t overhype Hamilton.
It always lives up to the hype.
Right!! 😂😂 but I don’t think so!! 😍
@@geoffsmith2041 I read this is tfs vegeta's voice (this may not make sense but just know it is very funny and you should laugh now)

It's been a week, but if you haven't seen the video yet, it may be really helpful because some of the performers play multiple different characters during Hamilton so just listening could get a little confusing. Great reaction, this is one of my favorites, but I like so many it's hard to pick just one favorite.
Waiting until after I finish the songs to watch
You should really see the show and listen to this in context because the reverse swell and all the reversal stuff is going back and recounting it you nailed it
This might be the best song in the show.. the girl singing played Mimi in rent you should do some songs from that show
I plan to! Make sure you sign up for the texts to know when I do!
On stage the reverse the action. It’s incredible
I believe it!
You really need to check out the pro-shot on Disney+. The choreography for this number is exactly the choreography for the previous number in reverse.
I plan to on Patreon.com/jacobrestituto and post snips here
You should do a livestream for the whole film. We can a watch it together. The film is *amazing*.. :)
not sure yet! but sign up for the texts to know!
That is exactly what’s happening
Snap
Loving your reaction and vibe
thanks! also, like your name lol
In the beginning of the song when the first rewind you can hear the men singing “ladies” it’s really cool. Did you catch it?
I do wish people would just experience things in their context

Yeah. The story they're telling is that originally Angelica was deeply attracted to him because he's not only good looking but is as fiercely intelligent as she is, but then she realized that 1) she's supposed to marry rich and he's poor and 2) her sister Eliza has fallen in love with him. Eliza could marry him because she's the younger sister and thus doesn't have to marry into money like Angelica, so Angelica gives Alexander to Eliza, even though it breaks her heart. The girl's nothing if not pragmatic.

there is live autotune
Spoiler Alert: What's happening in the song is that Angelica, who's singing, is recalling first meeting Alexander and falling for him. But she sees her younger sister, Eliza, is also smitten with Alexander. And since it's Angelica's duty to marry up for money (Alexander is poor), she introduces him to Eliza. When Alexander and Eliza get married, Angelica rationalizes her happiness by saying at least she'll "still have Alexander's eyes in my life."
Jacob, could you also try reacting to VoicePlay Oogie Boogie song?
I can try and look
This song is probably the most historically inaccurate in Hamilton; there is no evidence that Angelica ever loved Hamilton, or vice versa. In fact, she was already married with children when she met him. They had a bit of a flirtatious relationship, but likely that was just their personalities. Philip Schuyler, the sisters' father, did have sons (I think he had 3 or 4), as well. THAT BEING SAID: this is one of the greatest songs of all time. I die every time I hear it.
Her sisters husband is Hamilton.
"She's so perfectly on key, it almost sounds like she's autotuned, which I don't believe it is."
You're absolutely right, Renée Elise Goldsberry is a QUEEN! It's insane how she was able to sing and rap so on point in one song. I can't wait for you to watch this live, mainly the amazing choreo for Winter's Ball/Helpless/Satisfied.
yeah it was insane. im pumped to see it
This song is about how Angelica (Eliza’s sister) introduced her sister to Alexander, Alexander came to Angelica first but been the oldest she thought it would be best for her family if he marry her sister and not her even tho they had a thing while talking
"I was waiting for a good place to pause but there doesn't seem to be one."
Yes there is. The intermission. 😂
hahahaha
FACTS!!
And if you need another song to analyze, you should listen to "The Room Where it Happens"
Exactly
Stage production of Helpless followed by Satisfied is insane. I hope at some point you watch and post your reaction to the whole film because it just adds another layer to it. I listened to the soundtrack to the point of knowing a lot of it by heart before I ever saw the film and it still had such impact to get the visuals.
I was so enthralled by those sets back to back. Absolutely incredible
The stage performance definitely adds a whole other layer of depth to this song. I am absolutely blown away by it every time I watch it.
I told my best friend she had to learn the music before we went to the show. There's so much happening on the stage you don't need to be trying to figure out what the story is being told in the songs.
Also it's possible that this song is EVEN BETTER live
Did you see the video where someone spliced them sides by side following the timeline? It's INSANE.
This song is such a treat to watch. The stage choreography is a replay of Winter's Ball and Helpless as Angelica remembers events from her perspective. She is indeed talking about Alexander, who she gave up on due to social pressure and her love for her sister Eliza.
Love your music analysis for these songs, and please keep listening to Hamilton!
very interesting!!
You need to see the side by side of Satisfied / Helpless. The artistry of how the two songs blend together is mind blowing.
oh sick
But watch the whole thing first!!! 😁
THEN go watch the side by side- is crazy how intertwined they are without you even noticing.
@@JacobRestituto not only do the lyrics match, but the dancing does also
@@JacobRestituto
"oh sick"
Bruh 💀
The moment we’ve been waiting for. (Right hand man pun). You’ll notice Aaron Burr is the one who always introduces characters. Jesus I can’t wait for you to react to Guns and Ships, Washington on Your Side and Reynold’s Pamphlet
hahah nice pun. Pumped to hear them!
I feel like that role for Burr grew out of what the mixtape was going to be, a concept album from Burr’e perspective.
As you guessed, this is a flashback-- this song replays the scenes of the previous two songs, from Angelica's point of view. -- *Did you catch the echo in the background, of the guys calling out, "Ladies!" (from A Winter's Ball")?*
And yes; both sisters fell in love with Alexander, but the older sister (Angelica) chose to give him up for Eliza'a sake.
I have never noticed that until this comment!! I feel like I'm listening to the song for the first time all over again!!
In reality Angelica was already married, but Lin changed the story for dramatic effect
@@christenguzman4500 I freaked out when I first learned it
There is an interview with Alex Lacamoire (Hamilton Music Director) where he says that all the music is performed live except for the "Rewind" section of Satisfied. They found that pre-recorded sound did not work well for the show, except it is needed for that section. The presentation is beautiful in the Disney+ pro-shot.
interesting!!
I don't know if someone else has mentioned this but one of my favourite things in Hamilton is how Lin reuses the same melody for each character... You'll notice that that melody of the piano here in Angelica's solo is the same melody that is used in "The Schuyler sisters" when Angelica is being introduced farely in the background, almost subliminally connecting that melody to this specific character. He's truly a musical genius in my eyes.
Oh woah, that’s cool
@@JacobRestituto it's possible I got this wrong 😅 but it's definitely the same melody in "take a break" (a song in the second act) when Angelica is coming back for the first time in this act.
If I'm not wrong that's called late motiv, and he does that with both melodys and lyrics.
That musical technique is called a leitmotif, which isn't anything new. However Lin is very good at creating super adaptable leitmotif phrases rather than just playing entire songs when a character hits center stage.
@@juancampos3881 close, it's called a leitmotif (light mo-teef). Pretty sure it's a German word but idk I only know it as a musical term
Anjelica: Sings first held note...
Jacob: Nice vibrato there...
Me: 😳 Oh just you wait!
The magic of Hamilton is the motifs go hard. I don't know anything that hits the motifs so wonderfully.
truth
I recently found Rent, the filmed version of the stage musical. I only learned about Renee Elise Goldsberry from Hamilton, which is nuts. She’s amazing. If you look up Rent, she sings so beautifully, truly gorgeous songs. I have incredible respect for Hamilton (I adore Jonathan Groff’s voice and charisma). One thing Hamilton has done for me, is introduce me to such musical talent, which I’m grateful for.
'I came as soon as i heard.
🙏🏼
Would really like to see you react to all these songs again watching the live version
considering it!
Song: *Does that awesome rewind effect*
Him: “Let’s rewind that”
lol
Exactly XD
Angelica - the one singing - liked Alexander, but as she was already married and her sister - Eliza - already liked him, she decided to introduce them and endorse their marriage, without ever saying that she's in love with him. She spent her entire life loving him and not saying anything, because she valued her sister's happiness more than her own.
If you haven't, listen to "guns and ships" and "my shot". Actually, listen to the whole thing.
Lin Manuel Miranda is a prodigy!
TH-cam recommended this video, hope you’re doing well bro! Amazing content! ✨🙌
thank you!!
angelica sings rewind
jacob: that was sick! let me rewind that
haha truth
The power of suggestion lol
The music in itself is absolutely amazing and once you understand the story and know the meaning behind the songs, you'll appreciate it on a whole new level. Probably not the first or last to say this, but watching the whole musical is totally worth it!!
It’s a disservice to us that you are not watching… it’s disconcerting when you do not know what is happening.
Jacob: “let me rewind that”
The song: literally rewinding
