This song is amazing because it really shows L 's thought process with accepting the supernatural, which we never really see in the anime. this is the magic of musical theatre.
Shinigami is it really possible? Every fact that I thought I knew Is subverting me, deserting me Every truth I was sure was true Is on shaky ground, has come unwound What if the things I see Are not as they appear? Are impossible, yet clear How can I deny it? Always only believed what was right in front of me What I could see Shinigami are real because its the only way The only way When all other explanations Really don't explain No matter how insane You are left with only The cold, hard truth Can't shut it down, you can't change it You can't turn it off or turn it round Cant rearrange it The cold, hard truth A ragged scar To remind you, never forget The way things are I won't let who I used to be How I used to think, get me out of sync I'll turn into a different me Not so cynical, not so clinical Light is willing to risk it all Defying all the odds If I must ill fight the gods Til our war is over The cold hard truth, the way things are I can't change it True or false, no shadow of a doubt Cant rearrange it The cold hard truth Is my North star So I know I'll live and I'll die The way things are Frame by frame I see this movie in black and white Shot by shot, minute by minute Just me and Light The cold hard truth, the way things are You can't change it Even though the truth seems too bizarre You can't change it The cold hard truth, is my North star So no matter what he may try Shake the heavens, shatter the sky For I know that today you will die The way things are
I've listened to the musical concept album for years though I know it's not the full thing lol, but I never got around watching the Japanese or Korean productions. This was the first song outside the concept album I got to listen to and holy shit, that was beautiful. Dean did fantastic as L! The London Palladium cast did amazingly and I'm so glad we have them welcoming back the musical this year!!

Are you seriously telling me STALEMATE isn’t there? Why can’t we have just one full English recording? Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful but I’m slightly gutted!
that was so good. There's two I've always wanted to hear in english. Where is the Justice Reprise (I gotta hear how they handle the overlapping lyrics at the end) and also Change the World Reprise. It's such an underrated song (and better than the non-reprise version) where the police officers sing about their families. However knowing this concert was somewhat abridged, wouldn't be surprised if it was cut for time
OMG JBDSG THIS WAS MY FAV BIT IT WAS SO SO GOOD VISUALLY TOO AHHHH SO PRETTY SO TALENTED I COULD NOT SIT STILL I HOPE THEY GET A LONGER RUN I NEED TO SEE THIS AGAIN
Wait am I delusional for thinking bc the Japanese version got a proshot and this isn’t Broadway which is much stricter with pro shots, there’s a chance of a recording after the short Lyric Theater run?😀 I mean I’ll settle for a cast recording but y’know…
getting a proshot is extraordinarily unlikely. from the rumblings im hearing, the cast recording is a possibility. the company has done it before after bonnie&clyde, so its depending on cast willingness and recording costs before they commit
@@strawberrymilk7242 Fair enough, for now I just gotta hope for the musical to blow up in popularity and positive reception to come to the States ig lol
They’re def planning a full production soon. Either on West End or Broadway. I asked the book writer about a certain essential line of dialogue that appeared to be missing and he replied that he had to cut 20% of his book for the concert version “but they’ll be included in the full production”
Whenever people ask if they've professionally recorded the musical on TikTok, the official account responds very teasing and cryptic so I honestly think they have plans!!
Ok had to pause my first listen but now I was able to experience the whole English song and it‘s sooo good!!! Wooooaahhh😳✨Will def listen to it on repeat!!! Thank you again for acting so quickly, made my day🥹💕
to clarify, this is because L shoots Light during the song and there is a lot of dialogue about /naturally/ the way it ends. i’m going to see what i can do but i dont want to have to remove the dialogue since its so integral to their performance 😢
Im not the biggest fan of the opt down here, but I get not every night is a perfect voice night. Plus I know he was also doing The King and I during this, so it was a lot.
WHY IS IT SO GOOD WHY WAS THIS NEVER ON THE DEMO IM ON MY KNEES FRANK WILDHORN
it will be on the cast recording!!
@@lokemikaze THERES GONNA BE A CAST RECORDING??
@@Moocow2003 yes!! no launch date last time i checked, but the track list is public! sadly not all the songs will be on it - but this one is 💕

Shinigami is it really possible?
Every fact that I thought I knew
Is subverting me, deserting me
Every truth I was sure was true
Is on shaky ground, has come unwound
What if the things I see
Are not as they appear?
Are impossible, yet clear
How can I deny it?
Always only believed what was right in front of me
What I could see
Shinigami are real because its the only way
The only way
When all other explanations
Really don't explain
No matter how insane
You are left with only
The cold, hard truth
Can't shut it down, you can't change it
You can't turn it off or turn it round
Cant rearrange it
The cold, hard truth
A ragged scar
To remind you, never forget
The way things are
I won't let who I used to be
How I used to think, get me out of sync
I'll turn into a different me
Not so cynical, not so clinical
Light is willing to risk it all
Defying all the odds
If I must ill fight the gods
Til our war is over
The cold hard truth, the way things are
I can't change it
True or false, no shadow of a doubt
Cant rearrange it
The cold hard truth
Is my North star
So I know I'll live and I'll die
The way things are
Frame by frame
I see this movie in black and white
Shot by shot, minute by minute
Just me and Light
The cold hard truth, the way things are
You can't change it
Even though the truth seems too bizarre
You can't change it
The cold hard truth, is my North star
So no matter what he may try
Shake the heavens, shatter the sky
For I know that today you will die
The way things are

do you know what act they were in? i think where is the justice has 2/3 reprises so i’m not sure which one you’d be looking for
Nothing was cut. I’ve got a full audio recording of the show and both are there
@@amnesiacapothecaryis there a place where I can cop this full audio?
@@strawberrymilk7242 both are act one and if I remember correctly are the final 2 songs in the first act
Any chance you might put that up recording sometime@@amnesiacapothecary
So good. I flew from California to London specifically for this song 😍
I'm considering doing the same for the concert, ive been dying to hear this performed in english for years
Worth it! Go see them at the Lyric!
OMG SAME! It was so incredibly worth it! I’m so grateful I was able to see this masterpiece of a show live! 🥰
His voice is super unique, I like it!
Finally, an English version of this i_i I wish they'd release a cast recording!
I watched this live but THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THAT HIGH NOTE WAS OMG
Finally. I have been waiting for so long to hear this song in English!
OMG JBDSG THIS WAS MY FAV BIT IT WAS SO SO GOOD VISUALLY TOO AHHHH SO PRETTY SO TALENTED I COULD NOT SIT STILL I HOPE THEY GET A LONGER RUN I NEED TO SEE THIS AGAIN
Thank you!!! I have been absolutely in love with Dean's version of this after seeing it at the Palladium ❤️
FINALLY AN ENGLISH VERSION OF THIS SONG 😭😭😭😭😭
He can sang!!
Soooo good 🎉 can’t wait for the rest. I’ve looked everywhere and you’re the only one I can find uploading.
So happy someone uploaded this!! I loved it live and needed to hear it again 😂
Omg, the chills I got just from listing? Insane.
Cast recording is confirmed! No release date yet, but it's on its way!
this video was my most watched video this year and i do not regret a single thing
Wow he went OFF on this song! That was amazing!!!
Sounds like he got a little ahead of himself on that second refrain lol
2:47 the way he sings Light?????
IDHWKEKE IM SO GLAD I CAN FINALLY HEAR DN MUSICAL FAVORITE SONG IN ENGLISH!!!!!!
I'm soooooooo happy
And you are definitely not my hero. ;) We really need a studio recording.
Wait am I delusional for thinking bc the Japanese version got a proshot and this isn’t Broadway which is much stricter with pro shots, there’s a chance of a recording after the short Lyric Theater run?😀 I mean I’ll settle for a cast recording but y’know…

@@00rabbit7 Oh that’s awesome! Thanks for telling me that, so great to hear
Whenever people ask if they've professionally recorded the musical on TikTok, the official account responds very teasing and cryptic so I honestly think they have plans!!
I need this musical to come to the U.S😭
Omgomgogmgomg I'm ready😍😍
That riff was beautiful aaahhh
Ok had to pause my first listen but now I was able to experience the whole English song and it‘s sooo good!!! Wooooaahhh😳✨Will def listen to it on repeat!!! Thank you again for acting so quickly, made my day🥹💕
Do you have the way it ends? I would love to hear the West End Version since i've lived and loved the 2014 version.
waiting impatiently
im worried about posting it since youtube TOS are not exactly lenient on guns/suicide 😭
to clarify, this is because L shoots Light during the song and there is a lot of dialogue about /naturally/ the way it ends. i’m going to see what i can do but i dont want to have to remove the dialogue since its so integral to their performance 😢
Im not the biggest fan of the opt down here, but I get not every night is a perfect voice night. Plus I know he was also doing The King and I during this, so it was a lot.
Do you have the full recording of the musical. I wanted to go watch it so bad but due to work I couldn’t get time off.
there’s 6 more performances at the lyric - definitely go see it in person if you can (or use a sick day) ☺️
@@strawberrymilk7242I SAW IT TODAY IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
Do you have There only humans?
