Eponine is definitely the best character in this movie/play/book! She died so Marius could love Cosette because she loved him so much she wanted to see him happy even if she was on her own... :(
I used to listen to this song and bawl my eyes out because of someone who broke my heart and soul; but several years later, I hear this song and cry because of the emotion Samantha transmits and because of empathy, I don't cry because of him anymore, and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Trust me when I say, that you will move on and that person who once was your world and left, will be insignificant to you
The real kicker is that Eponine never truly loved Marius. She was in love with an IDEA that he represented. And what's worse is that she KNEW this, but she continued to pursue him because it was the only thing she felt she had to live for. To quote Aragorn from the Lord Of The Rings: "It is but a shadow, and a thought you love...".
@@harrellt1405 I think by idea, it’s like what she imagined he was like. Not what he was truly like. It’s like how Gatsby loved Daisy, but he didn’t truly love her for what she completely was, he loved the idea and image of what she was. Same her, I think what they mean is, Eponine didn’t truly love Marius for what he really was. She didn’t get to fully know him and understand him completely, she only loved the image of Marius and what he represented.
I feel the exact same way and I'm an actress. I feel that most of the times supporting roles are way more interesting to reach and way more satisfying for the actor in the end. (sorry for my English :p )
Eponine is pretty much everyone at some point. I love the fact she gave Cosette the note even though she could have destroyed it and told Marius that Cosette didn't love him. Musical/Film Eponine is a true friend.
I haven't heard this song in YEARS, completely forgot it existed, but yesterday I woke up and it was stuck in my head, I couldn't stop whispering the lyrics all day. I guess I'm feeling it now more than ever :(
Everyone has had this at some point in their life. Someone who takes your breath away, who makes you proud, who makes you laugh. Someone who you ultimately fall in love with, and yet they can never love you back. There is no pain like unrequited love.
I'm singing this for a chorus audition called NYSMA and I picked this song because I can relate and I put a lot of emotion into it as my chorus teacher says and that I act it out without moving. This song is just breathtaking and the play is just heart wrenching
I want to do NYSSMA but my teacher says it’s boring so we are doing a different co petition because our chorus is amazing (not to brag 😊) and people kept complimenting our teacher
Go Cosette and everything, but I honestly think that Cosette was a bit harsh. In the song In My Life Reprise, she literally tells him to forget all his friends and everyone who died and focus on her and their life together when he had just seen all of his friends and Eponine, his childhood BFF, be shot. Eponine saved her life because she wanted him to be happy, and she realised that he would be happy with Cosette, not with her, and he couldn't do that if he was dead. She was sooooo selfless and although Cosette heals him and they're in love and love at first stuff mush mush mush, I think that he should have gone for Eponine...
I think Cosette meant it in a nice way. I think it references to the book when Marius forgot about his friends and the grief because Cosette brought love. The musical just glosses over this event and condenses it into a sentence.
I get what you're saying, but I think the confusion comes from the song in the movie, not the full musical version of the 'In My Life/A Heart Full of Love' reprise. I was confused about this at first too, but in the musical version, Marius actually sings, "Every day I wonder every day , who it was brought me here from the barricade " to which Cosette replies "Don't even think about it Marius, with all the years ahead of us..." etc. I think the miscommunication comes from the fact that the song was trimmed down for the movie, essentially cutting out the context for what Cosette says. (Oops, I rambled, but I hope this kinda clears things up a bit! Cosette wasn't trying to be mean; it was the absence of Marius' lines that leads to people thinking that.)
On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone, I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me for ever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone, the river's just a river Without him the world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me his world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own..
This song isn't about unrequited love, it's about the one you only manage to grasp for a second through slipping fingertips, so much more heartbreaking is the false hope of a promise.
She is incredible. She truly brings out the emotions of this song, and she has the perfect voice to tell a story. I love this & the movie & the play. I love Les Mis.
Okay so everyone is relating because “I’m in love with someone but they don’t love me back” but I’m over here like “I’m in love with a fictional character and they can’t love me back because they only exist in my mind”
This is my fav version of “on my own” love her voice and I think it goes really well with her character 😭 makes me cry every single time I listen to this song
I think it's interesting how many here keep saying Marius should choose Éponine over Cosette. I guess it's because she's made beautiful and more romantic/sad in the movies and musical. When you look at it plainly from Marius's point of view (at least in the book), you will see an almost divinely beautiful young lady, well-dressed, clean, good reputation and background (as far as he knows at that moment), well-behaved, respectable, innocent etc. -> admirable On the other hand you have Éponine, a girl of the streets, involved in crime, dubious background/upbringing, dirty, unkempt, unpleasant voice, most likely drunk a lot (since her voice sounds like she had too much alcohol), manipulative, mal-nourished, bad teeth etc. -> pitiable at best. Now imagine yourself as a son of a good family (though they don't have a great relationship). Your upbringing taught you to value the type of woman Cosette is. And while Marius's values changed a bit from what he was taught, the general idea of attractiveness and being a woman people would like to marry would most likely be present in society as a whole. So while I agree that Ponine is a great character (at least in the musical), I definetly understand why Marius would choose Cosette over Ponine.
I have seen this movie in cinema and the moment she started that song, the moment of hearing those lyrics, I could not stop my tears. This was exactly how I felt and how I still feel, months later... the only difference that he does not loves anyone else for so far I know. I'm also on my own and when I feel sad and lonely I listen to this wonderful song, sung by a wonderful voice, and let my tears flow down
"I love [her], But every day I'm learning. All my life I've only been pretending. Without me, [Her] world will go on turning; A world that's full of happiness, That I have never known."
My ex fell out of love with me after 6 months but didn't say anything until 3 months later, obviously I knew something was wrong but watching him tell me then sleep with someone 3 days after the break up then dating someone new the next week had me understanding this song on a whole nother level. And just so y'all don't start attacking him, we are friends now and I still care about him, just not the same way, he needed her not me. She's better for him than I ever was.
I love this song so much, and Samantha Barks truly has such an amazing voice. Its hard to decide ; I feel like both of the girls stories are easy to relate too. I grew up in an abusive home and it was a very scary time for me, but like Cossette's story it can get better and you can find happiness. With Eponine its easy to relate to because I think a lot of girls can say that they've been in love or really liked someone who was in love with another or who you knew there was know chance. :/
I’ve been in Eponine’s exact position before. So, when I hear her sing it, and when I sing it, I feel a connection, one based on emotion. I’ve since gotten over my friend, and found happiness, but whenever I sing this song, I come near tears, because I know exactly how she feels, and I know that she will never be able to be with Marius. Eponine, you’re wonderful. ❤️
I used to romanticize one sided love and now it happened to me and it's the worst type of grief I have ever experienced in my life... Eponine and everyone else real or fictional who went through such pain deserves better❤ God bless you all!
Her live singing in Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert (2010) is so much more powerful. I felt the movie stifled her performance of the role, esp the vocals. If you haven't seen the live version, highly recommend!
My music teacher, Mrs. C, sang this in our school recital last night. She sang so beautiful, I started crying. I knew she could sing, but that song was perfect for her. Thanks for everything Mrs. C.
Ugh I cry every time I hear this song because I love it so much and I love Eponine so much I feel so connected with her like we’re the same person and I just love this song
I wish I didn't love him so we can be both be on same page, but after so many years of hoping it will go away, it hasn't. I have finally come to terms that I doubt he ever will love me so all I can do is help him find his own happiness in hopes that once he does, maybe I can be happy too.
All I will ever be to him is just a friend. Not even the first friend he'd go to for help or to vent. But just a girl. And it will always be that way since he already has his girl. This song is just too powerful. I especially love the part, "Without him, the world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers." "Without me, his life will go on turning, a world that's full of happiness that I had never known!" It's just too much, in a good way..... What really stinks, he tied the knot in June or July of 2014. I missed him by at least a year. I'm officially too late and will have to continue pretending he loves me back inside my dreams. Practically the only place he will ever love me. I feel you, Eponine. I really do.
when hollywood remakes all your childhood songs and stories for you....... speaking of blind people. I used to groom a german Shepherd guide dog companion for a blind man who worked at Disney in Anaheim. (Right down the street) And he would freak out every time I groomed his dog cause he felt lost in the dark without him I guess. two of his coworkers used to bring him and his owner to my pet salon to be bathed or groomed like once a month in Huntington Beach, CA...... and the disney lady who drove them there would always apologize profusely to me for him freaking out on me while I had his dog. ..... i could never figure out why disney bought star wars though.... but from one gimp to another, thank you for cussing me after 20 minutes each time like clockwork. Thank you for showing me your frailty without your comfort blanket. Thank you for showing me your bewilderment at your own separation anxiety. There is nothing more beautiful than honest fright when missing a part of you that makes you feel whole. That shows love in known comfort. That is the ache in the unknown. That shows the independently dependent bond between which is necessary.... in a world determined to strip you of the things in life that make heartbeats a purpose instead of just sounds. Please dont ever let that light in your eyes die. Stay soft in a harsh reality. Its ok to need someone or something. Your comfort zone is your happy place. Its ok to guard it with your life as if your life depended on it. Because sometimes it does. And never let anyone make you accept the opposite. #MotivationalThoughtOfTheDay
I feel so heartless this was the first time in three years in which I have heard this song and haven't cried. I guess that it's just when it's in the movie is when it tugs at my heartstrings
STILL after many views -A beauty in your rendition- is beyond any other and may you Samantha Barks...be an inspiration to all and always to you and your own! God Bless !
just watched this movie for the first time with my friend last night, and the acting is amazing and the singing is phenomenal. im absolutely obsessed with it, i'd watch it every single day if i could.
This song is so beautifully sad, that it makes it difficult to write a rather basic scene without wanting to cry and making much more depressing than it need to be...
歌詞 On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me His world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own
what I really like about the movie is that through the "singings part" kind of one person's true inner life shows up in a very pure & honest & beautiful way
In these moments of my life these trips have been very moved and this song identifies me as a person thinking that someone once felt like me so I can not stop listening to this song so inspiring
Saw the show in London yesterday and Carrie Hope Fletcher who played Eponine stole the show for me, she was simply brilliant. My second favourite Eponine ever.
French Version: My story is like a fairy tale In the pages of my childhood I close my eyes, And my prince comes to embrace me, And I pray that his embrace Will never become undone. With him, I no longer feel the same, I love the rain, and when we walk together, Our two shadows, Like two enamoured giants Get longer at our feet And are reflected in the Seine. And I know I made everything up. I know that he will never be at my side, And in spite of this I still hope, That with him, I will write my story, I love him, but as the nights are short, In the morning, he continues his path. And the world becomes the same again, It loses all its colors, and the rainbow its diadem. I love him, but I am alone in he world, All my life, I waited as a shadow, My story, is just an empty shell now, A foolish dream of love where I had no part to play! I love him. I love him. I love him, alone in my story.
I sing this dramatically at three AM when I realize I’ll never be with Shoto Todoroki or whatever fictional character/celebrity I’m in love with that week. I also imagine I’m wondering through an empty street at night while it’s raining.

Brilliant Butterfly no, she's in the book

The “I love him”s get me every time; such a beautifully sad song
I can't get over how beautiful and talented Samantha Barks is.

@@roseszymanski I was so immersed in the feels of the song but your comment made me laugh lmao
why do i feel, from the very moment i saw her and this song, that, if i ever played in Miserables, i would only want to portray Eponine????
You're not alone. :)
(no pun intended)
I've always liked Eponine more than Cosette. She's amazing. And Samantha Barks makes her that much better... :)
Sriya Pathaneni totally agree !
I feel the exact same way and I'm an actress. I feel that most of the times supporting roles are way more interesting to reach and way more satisfying for the actor in the end. (sorry for my English :p )

Right. her love was genuine and selfless 💙

By far one of the best and most emotional songs in this musical.. Brings a tear to my eye every time.
Go Cosette and everything, but I honestly think that Cosette was a bit harsh. In the song In My Life Reprise, she literally tells him to forget all his friends and everyone who died and focus on her and their life together when he had just seen all of his friends and Eponine, his childhood BFF, be shot.

She was sooooo selfless and although Cosette heals him and they're in love and love at first stuff mush mush mush, I think that he should have gone for Eponine...
well, but based on the book, and/or anime, Eponine abused Cosette when they were kids
I actually couldn't agree more
I think Cosette meant it in a nice way. I think it references to the book when Marius forgot about his friends and the grief because Cosette brought love. The musical just glosses over this event and condenses it into a sentence.

i like the younger Cosette-
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own..

Its hard to decide ; I feel like both of the girls stories are easy to relate too. I grew up in an abusive home and it was a very scary time for me, but like Cossette's story it can get better and you can find happiness. With Eponine its easy to relate to because I think a lot of girls can say that they've been in love or really liked someone who was in love with another or who you knew there was know chance. :/
she is way better then cosette any day
But Cosette can put her own fist in her mouth
And her breasts can always tell when it’s raining

Her live singing in Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert (2010) is so much more powerful. I felt the movie stifled her performance of the role, esp the vocals. If you haven't seen the live version, highly recommend!
"And then, do you know, Monsieur Marius, I believe I was a little in love with you."
My music teacher, Mrs. C, sang this in our school recital last night. She sang so beautiful, I started crying. I knew she could sing, but that song was perfect for her. Thanks for everything Mrs. C.
I legit sing this song every single night.... and mostly cry. I guess I've been ghosted so many times this is just my life. 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖
thanks for making this video. I listen to it everyday!
thanks for your support, it means a lot to me :D
Samantha Barks, Thank you for a moving performance!
This song is so beautiful and I love this performance. The only thing that bugs me is the abrupt cut at the end where it goes into "One Day More."
As part of the play it was amazing but when I wanna be dramatic and sing it it is so annoying lol
Ugh I cry every time I hear this song because I love it so much and I love Eponine so much I feel so connected with her like we’re the same person and I just love this song
She made me cry so many times in that movie.... and her voice is so beautiful.
I wish I didn't love him so we can be both be on same page, but after so many years of hoping it will go away, it hasn't. I have finally come to terms that I doubt he ever will love me so all I can do is help him find his own happiness in hopes that once he does, maybe I can be happy too.
+Chlorophyllis just tell him
maybe u have to find your happiness first
That's Éponine through and through
All I will ever be to him is just a friend. Not even the first friend he'd go to for help or to vent. But just a girl. And it will always be that way since he already has his girl.
This song is just too powerful. I especially love the part, "Without him, the world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers." "Without me, his life will go on turning, a world that's full of happiness that I had never known!"
It's just too much, in a good way..... What really stinks, he tied the knot in June or July of 2014. I missed him by at least a year. I'm officially too late and will have to continue pretending he loves me back inside my dreams.
Practically the only place he will ever love me.
I feel you, Eponine. I really do.
There is this guy in my year and I have been in love with him for 3 years and he apparently doesn't feel the same. RIP
There is beautiful music out there for those that care to listen, This is beautiful !!
when hollywood remakes all your childhood songs and stories for you.......
speaking of blind people. I used to groom a german Shepherd guide dog companion for a blind man who worked at Disney in Anaheim. (Right down the street) And he would freak out every time I groomed his dog cause he felt lost in the dark without him I guess.
two of his coworkers used to bring him and his owner to my pet salon to be bathed or groomed like once a month in Huntington Beach, CA...... and the disney lady who drove them there would always apologize profusely to me for him freaking out on me while I had his dog.
..... i could never figure out why disney bought star wars though....
but from one gimp to another, thank you for cussing me after 20 minutes each time like clockwork. Thank you for showing me your frailty without your comfort blanket. Thank you for showing me your bewilderment at your own separation anxiety. There is nothing more beautiful than honest fright when missing a part of you that makes you feel whole. That shows love in known comfort. That is the ache in the unknown. That shows the independently dependent bond between which is necessary.... in a world determined to strip you of the things in life that make heartbeats a purpose instead of just sounds.
Please dont ever let that light in your eyes die. Stay soft in a harsh reality. Its ok to need someone or something. Your comfort zone is your happy place.
Its ok to guard it with your life as if your life depended on it. Because sometimes it does.
And never let anyone make you accept the opposite. #MotivationalThoughtOfTheDay
You got to love how the last commercial steps right on the final note
How i feel about me and leonardo dicaprios relationship 😫😔
Are you old than 25? 😈
Happy Valentine's Day.
K
You to take care
I feel so heartless this was the first time in three years in which I have heard this song and haven't cried. I guess that it's just when it's in the movie is when it tugs at my heartstrings
I choose this song to sing in a rlly big comp and Winn thanks for the works in this song🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉LOVE THIS SONGGGG❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! I can't stop listening to this song.
STILL after many views -A beauty in your rendition- is beyond any other and may you Samantha Barks...be an inspiration to all and always to you and your own! God Bless !
Marius + Eponine = the ultimate friend zone
SCMockingbird rofl
just watched this movie for the first time with my friend last night, and the acting is amazing and the singing is phenomenal. im absolutely obsessed with it, i'd watch it every single day if i could.
SHE NAILED THIS! I LOVE IT!
This song is so beautifully sad, that it makes it difficult to write a rather basic scene without wanting to cry and making much more depressing than it need to be...
us fangirls this is our song
this is the most true comment i have ever read on youtube XD
Lauren Galea this literally made my day. PREACH
歌詞
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
成瀬咲良 You Do realize this is a lyric video, right?
what I really like about the movie is that through the "singings part" kind of one person's true inner life shows up in a very pure & honest & beautiful way
In these moments of my life these trips have been very moved and this song identifies me as a person thinking that someone once felt like me so I can not stop listening to this song so inspiring
Liek if u cry evrytime
*like *you *every time, also your sentence is a fragment because you do not have a subject.
Karis Yeah, I know :)
I'm not illiterate, it was just for the lols.
Karis the subject is understood you
Karis The subject is you...
Karis Ugh, it's a meme. You're on the Internet
Id feel this way about Eddie Redmayne
Saw the show in London yesterday and Carrie Hope Fletcher who played Eponine stole the show for me, she was simply brilliant. My second favourite Eponine ever.
Don't care that this song has been played over and over and musical theater nerds hate it when casting. ITS SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!
this song is the story of my life
Yours and mine alike. =/
sameee ://
Can we start a club that i can join?
asseater007
Mm
Mpj
when you nail this in your chest voice and then scream and ruin your voice. #justsingerprobs
OMG for reall!!!!!!!!! #thestruggles
Legit!!
You shouldn’t sing from your chest right??
Poepie Scheet the chest voice is a register that you can sing in
i literally sing from my vagina
I watched it, and I don't think I cried so much at a movie. It was perfect
Sooooooo beautiful, elegant, classy, emotional. ❤❤❤
I cannot sing this song without crying, and I love it. I love the emotion she uses so so great it means I can't sing it without the same emotion.
dawson's creek reminded me of this song and brought me here:)
I am doing this song for my voice lessons and I think it is a great song!!!
I've never cried so much in my entire life...I love him...
I finally get to see this in February!! My life story is this song.
Such a beautiful and sad song
That cutoff at the end is horribly abrupt. Bad.
i know! but that's the song i have, i am sorry about that :(
+phoenix7289 It is the same even in the movie because they started the next scene too early.
I know!! It ruins the whole song! X(
watch the movie the scene changes right after that second another song starts
It's because it goes directly into the next song
That first "I love him" breaks my heart every time.
French Version:
My story is like a fairy tale
In the pages of my childhood
I close my eyes,
And my prince comes to embrace me,
And I pray that his embrace
Will never become undone.
With him, I no longer feel the same,
I love the rain, and when we walk together,
Our two shadows,
Like two enamoured giants
Get longer at our feet
And are reflected in the Seine.
And I know I made everything up.
I know that he will never be at my side,
And in spite of this I still hope,
That with him,
I will write my story,
I love him, but as the nights are short,
In the morning, he continues his path.
And the world becomes the same again,
It loses all its colors, and the rainbow its diadem.
I love him, but I am alone in he world,
All my life, I waited as a shadow,
My story, is just an empty shell now,
A foolish dream of love where I had no part to play!
I love him.
I love him.
I love him, alone in my story.
Really liked this video! All the best!!
One of my FAVORITE movie and songs
Eponine just luke me fr when it comes to love ong

Kazu m e
Aww Eponine I feel you! This song is this story of my life. Eponine is amazing ❤️
This is one of my favorite songs to sing. It's so beautiful.
I sing this dramatically at three AM when I realize I’ll never be with Shoto Todoroki or whatever fictional character/celebrity I’m in love with that week. I also imagine I’m wondering through an empty street at night while it’s raining.
ok mood todoroki is my husband
I've been listening to this song the last two hours. It makes me feel really sad :(
I know right!
It's the national anthem for the friendzone and fangirls
same! haha
