Actually if you apply this song to book Éponine, it becomes much, much more tragic. Book Éponine was horrifically emaciated, withered through years of poverty, malnourishment and abuse, mentally unstable, and quite simply creeped Marius out. She was no Sam Barks - she was an ugly, desperate, sick, half-crazy girl who no one can save, and no one can love. Her 'love' for Marius is more ambiguous, because it's as much love as a coping mechanism for her depression and poverty. She reaches for that love because it's the sole good thing in her otherwise completely hellish life. Marius was an escape, an ideal for her, but one can even say that the two never ever understood each other. Her mental instability also lends a new interpretation to phrases like 'he is gone, the river's just a river' etc, as they could be interpreted as actual hallucinations instead of daydreams.
Exactly, I couln't have said it better. And yet, that malnourished, poor, abused, unstable, creepy and miserable girl, by wanting so hard to be loved, has helped Marius to find happiness. It's such an incredible character, she has a wonderful development in the book.
Adding this here since some people don't know. This is not lip synced. They are singing live and it is recorded live. Samantha talks about that in an interview, how she hoped they would edit out the sniffles, etc. but they didn't. She did about 20 some takes and it was freezing too, BTW. She was listening to the piano through an earpiece. The pianist was off camera in a soundproof booth and was to follow her lead as she sang it as she felt it. The piano was to give her something to focus on. Later, they added in the full orchestra, or what of it they wanted to add. There is also a feature about that. The director is actually conducting the orchestra to fit the way she sang it. All of the singers did this except one or two...and a couple of instances where groups were singing together. So it is "dubbed" in a way, but backwards. What you hear is what she is singing BUT the backing orchestra is what is dubbed in.
I heard director intended for scene to be in a condition that would create sniffles etc, to bring authenticity to the physically emotional response from the actress. Great work you feel for her pain.
Don’t you just HATE IT when you’ve had a crush on your childhood best friend for countless years, knowing that he’ll never love you the way you love him, only to discover that he’s fallen head over heels for a girl that just so happens to be your adopted sister who he’s only seen once and then you feel obligated to give him the girl’s address and information because you want your crush to be happy but then you end up singing in the rain, barefoot, wearing rags, completely soaked, AND at the risk of getting sick all because your crush doesn’t like you back?
@@joshb789 *meme voice* I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right? (This has not happened to me, it’s a meme)
The genius of "Les Misérables", is in the fact that EVERYONE is miserable: miserable in work, miserable in life, miserable in politics, miserable in the army, and yes.. miserable in love. Eponine's misery is so palpable to anyone on this planet who sought love. We have all been there, and we have all sung this song.
Actually, ‘les misérables’ more closely translates to ‘the wretched’. “In any case, there is a point where the poor and the wicked become mixed up and lumped together in the one fateful word: Les Misérables (the wretched). Whose fault is this?” So even the Thénardiers would fall under the umbrella.
Ya the phantom in my mind told me to check out all the despair today, the despair that provoked others to move towards impacting each other in the worse possible ways. I want to encourage the opposite of that. I think I still have a way to go.
She truly was remarkable she reprised this role she was in the 25 anniversary Broadway of le miserables for the same role so she was a sure thing for part but still the emotion and feeling from this scene Is so sad
The fact that this song was mostly done in a single long shot and the actor was actually singing while acting not lip syncing is really impressive. (For those of you don't know, We are listening to the actual voice while the actor is acting, not the pre-recorded song in studio, this technic won this movie Oscar best sound mixing that year.)
Éponine is my favourite character. I feel her pain and loneliness. She just suferred her whole life and never met true love.. and even destroyed, she loved... in a beautiful and selfless way. This is sad, inspiring and ridiculously possible. This song touches my soul and this performance is outstanding.
I love the fact that while she sang "the trees are bare and everywhere, the streets are full of strangers" in 2:05 in left a random stranger suddenly passes by😃😃
Its always been my favourite solo of the production. Duets - jean val jean and javier Chorus - do you hear the people sing and Heartfull of love/ in my life
@@Rugbymummaaunty I couldn't agree more. First started to love the film due to I dreamed a dream, and rightfully so. However over time I've come to love this song more for what it means. Unrequited love means a lot to me personally.
She delivered by far the best vocal performance, tbf as is expected from a professional musicalperformer of her calibre. In general as soon as we get away from Valjean and Javert the musical numbers in this movie moved towards way better performances (btw Crowe and Jackman performed their songs well in promos etc., I don't fault them for the overall bad musical direction and decisions made around the music in this movie).
so she's squeezed into an inhumanely tiny corset, sitting down, with a camera probably 5 inch away from her face AND she still managed to belt out that "KNOOOOOOOWN" no problem
I like how when she sang half the second verse: “In the rain, the pavement shines like silver.” they moved the camera angle up over the top right side of her shoulder to actually show how the rain was reflecting off of the ground from the light in such a sparkly shinny form. I think that was a really nice and beautiful touch.😌🙆🏾♀️🌧
This is the best unrequited love song... just keep my love to him on my own and he doesn't even know it... this song really describes my feeling.. I love him, but only on my own.
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
Honestly one of the best performances of the movie if not the best. She breaths such heartache into this song through her voice that is difficult to capture. Some fantastic performances out there that sing this song powerful and those are also beautiful. But this performance easily makes me feel the characters pain the most. The way she cuts off a note or when her voice cracks, it's just wonderful. She chooses when to sing more powerful and when to sing more emotionally perfectly. It's definitely my preferred performance of the song.
I really love how Samantha avoided crying and actually just 'pretending' to be crying so that she can't ruin her vocals and performance. Anne Hathaway's I dreamed a dream was beautiful in the acting sense but when it comes to the vocals, she was having a hard time hitting the notes becuz she was sitting down and crying. Anyway this movie is honestly beautiful and amazing. always makes me tear up
I think the slightly shattered vocals add more emotion to it, it's not about the singing as such in this movie its about what they're singing about and how it's effecting them which every actor does perfectly as shown in the voice and their acting especially if they're crying or shouting etc within it.
and Anne still killed it. there was so much raw emotion in that scene. maybe it wouldn't work out on stage, but was perfect for a film setting. let's not pit 2 beautifully voiced, powerful women against each other
My all time favorite musical movie/play. And this song - wow! Her voice and her acting stirs so much emotion. The story, combined with the musical score is just incredible. How anybody could be so gifted to write and compose this masterpiece is beyond belief.
Samantha Barks actually has an interesting story, for those that don't know. She originally auditioned for the Andrew Lloydd Webber TV show I'll Do Anything, for the chance to Play Nancy in the Stage show Oliver. She came third. But she was actually the one Webber hoped would win the show. Webber later cast her in some of his shows. Then she was cast in the Stage show Les Miserables as Eponine. Then when the producers were making this film they went to see the stage show and were so impressed by her performance they cast her in the same role in the film.
Now if you think about it, Emily and Eponine are kinda similar. Like they both have a one sided love over a boy who loves another woman. Much to think about.
Eponine and Cosette basically trade roles. As a child Cosette sings Castle on a Cloud and now Eponine sings On my Own. Cosette as a child's fantasy was to have a mother figure hugging her, Eponine fantasy was to have Marius around her.
It's really amazing that she sounds exactly the same as she did in the 25th anniversary concert. Despite Hooper's best efforts to kneecap his performers, she didn't lose anything!
@@lefinlay Hooper didn't want Samantha Barks to upstage the lead actors aka Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway. But, Sam blew them all out of the water. It's even more shocking to learn that Hooper actually wanted Taylor freaking Swift to play Eponine (though he got her into CATS).
She just couldn't understand that love can grow to care for more than one person. Her obsession made her miserable and missing out on the other men in the college within her social circle.
Eponine represents the love one still can have for life when life doesn't loves you back. Thou still a tragedy in the final song the words "to love another person is to see the face of god" mean to show the right actitud towards the tragedy of life
나 홀로 그가 내 옆에 서 있다 생각하며 혼자서 아침이 올때까지 걷네 그이 없이도 그의 팔이 날 감싸는 듯해 길을 잃었을때 눈 감고 있으면 그가 날 찾아내지 빗 속에 도로 포장은 은빛으로 수놓이고 강에 비친 빛은 흐릿하지 어둠 속에 가로수들은 별빛으로 빛나고 그리고 내 눈에 보이는 건 전부 그와 나 뿐이지 영원히 그리고 영원히 그렇지만 난 알아 다 망상에 불과하단 걸 난 그가 아니라 내 스스로에게 말할 뿐 그리고 그가 다른 사랑에 눈 멀었음에도 난 아직 말하네 '우리'가 될 길이 있다고 그를 사랑해 하지만 밤이 끝나면 그는 사라지고 강은 그저 강일 뿐 그이 없이는 나의 세상은 낯설어져버려 가로수는 헐벗은 채 흔하고 거리는 낯선 이들로 가득할 뿐 그를 사랑하지만 난 매일 깨달아 내가 해왔던 건 그저 가짜일 뿐이란 걸 나 없이도 그의 세상은 계속 되겠지 행복으로 가득찬 세상이겠지... 나는 한번도 알지 못한 그런 행복 그를 사랑해 사랑해 사랑하지만 나 혼자의 사랑일 뿐
On my own 나혼자.. Pretending he's beside me 그가 내 곁에 있다고 생각해 All alone 혼자서.. I walk with him till morning 그와 함께 아침까지 걸어 Without him 그가 없이도 I feel his arms around me 나를 감싼 그의 팔을 느껴 And when I lose my way I close my eyes 내가 길을 잃었을 때 내 눈을 감으면 And he has found me 그가 나를 찾아내 In the rain the pavement shines like silver 빗 속에서 길은 은빛이 나 All the lights are misty in the river 강물에 비친 모든 불빛은 안개같아 In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight 어둠속에서 나무들은 별 빛으로 가득해 And all I see is him and me 내 눈에 보이는 건 그와 나 뿐이야 Forever and forever 영원히.. 영원히.. And I know it's only in my mind 그래 이게 내 마음 속에서만 일어나는 일인 걸 알아 That I'm talking to myself and not to him 그가 아닌 나 자신에게만 말 하는 것도.. And although I know that he is blind 또 그가 앞을 볼 수 없다는 걸 알지만 Still I say, there is a way for us 여전히 난 말하지, 우리를 위한 길이 있다고 I love him 그를 사랑해 But when the night is over 하지만 이 밤이 지나면 He is gone 그는 사라지지 The river's just a river 강은 그냥 강에 지나지 않아 Without him 그가 없이는.. The world around me changes 나를 둘러싼 세상은 변해 The trees are bare and everywhere 나무들은 헐 벗은 채로 어디에나 존재하고 The streets are full of strangers 거리는 낯선 이들로 가득하지 I love him 그를 사라아해 But every day I'm learning 하지만 난 매일 깨닫고 있어 All my life 나의 모든 삶은 I've only been pretending 그냥 내가 상상해 왔던 것일 뿐이야 Without me 내가 없어도 His world will go on turning 그의 세상은 계속 변해할 거야 A world that's full of happiness 행복으로 가득찬 세상 That I have never known 내가 전혀 알지 못했던 세상 I love him 그를 사랑해 I love him 그를 사랑해 I love him 그를 사랑해 But only on my own 하지만 그저 나 혼자만의 상상일 뿐이지..
my psycho English teacher made us do about 15 hrs of assignments on this one song. I had to listen to it SO MANY TIMES that it still rings in my ears to THIS DAY. some teachers really have a way of making you hate learning.
Women hate making the first move, they love it when men make the first move. It also show's confidence and initiative, two traits women find very attractive.
@Elizabeth Brightmoon I guess i'm stuck in the endless void known as the friendzone. But to be honest, i prefer being friends, going the extra step may have ruined the friendship me and her built up over the years. so all in all, i think it went pretty good.
@@SnooSnoo503 aw I'm so sorry man. at least she at least knows how you feel and you don't have to keep it in always just wondering what could have been :(
It could be worse. In high school, I wrote a love note to a boy who wasn't interested in me. He treated it as something to laugh at. It hurt at the time, but now I think I was better off without him.
'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 but only on my own...' goodbye, my Disney Prince. 💔
If you think about it she never had a good family to begin with, her baby sister is not in the movie but she's used just as cosette later on. Gavroche was disowned and she usually prefers to stay outside because she herself hates her own family. Then she sees this other person who has the same ethics and morals as her and though they don't talk much, she pretends that they are best friends, and eventually she falls for him, but he's fallen for cosette and that literally breaks her, seeing the person she hated being the one he loves and she blames herself too. It's appalling her final resolution of dying just leaves her happy because for the first and last time she won't pretending being in marius arms.
Yeah. Fantine’s story is tragic but it feels very removed from the average viewer. Meanwhile most of us know how unrequited love feels even if we don’t have eponine’s terrible home life. But then again a lot of people (myself included) have used crushes as an escapism the general shittiness of life. Unhealthy coping mechanism but it’s relatable
Don’t think we should compare both and say which is worse than the other, they both suffered in such a painful way and are actually the most tragic characters that there is even a mashup of their songs together, a world that’s full of happiness that they have never known. :(
This is my favorite scene. The song, the emotions ... Samantha Bark's singing and acting generally. The sequence, frames, camera movement, lightings etc are just a plus. I am not a singer but out of all the music scores, her singing was the best. She was the best in this film. Other's voices were good enough but nothing close to her.
It's interesting how it seems that people love this or hate this. I love it. Personally, I think the imperfections are what make it perfect. Her character is in a deep state of suffering, bordering on sobbing. She sounds exactly how she is supposed to.
![Lea Salonga - On My Own (Les Misérables) [720p]](/img/n.gif)

"A world that's full of happiness that I have never known." I felt that with every fiber of my being
🥺😭😭😭
SAMEEEE
Aww it will get better
@AC Bronz same happed to me as well, Jesus is amazing
I also felt it profoundly and and completely, because this phrase, it's about me....
Actually if you apply this song to book Éponine, it becomes much, much more tragic. Book Éponine was horrifically emaciated, withered through years of poverty, malnourishment and abuse, mentally unstable, and quite simply creeped Marius out. She was no Sam Barks - she was an ugly, desperate, sick, half-crazy girl who no one can save, and no one can love.
Her 'love' for Marius is more ambiguous, because it's as much love as a coping mechanism for her depression and poverty.

Adding this here since some people don't know. This is not lip synced. They are singing live and it is recorded live. Samantha talks about that in an interview, how she hoped they would edit out the sniffles, etc. but they didn't. She did about 20 some takes and it was freezing too, BTW. She was listening to the piano through an earpiece. The pianist was off camera in a soundproof booth and was to follow her lead as she sang it as she felt it. The piano was to give her something to focus on. Later, they added in the full orchestra, or what of it they wanted to add. There is also a feature about that. The director is actually conducting the orchestra to fit the way she sang it. All of the singers did this except one or two...and a couple of instances where groups were singing together.
So it is "dubbed" in a way, but backwards. What you hear is what she is singing BUT the backing orchestra is what is dubbed in.
It was torture for the orchestra though, cause it’s the actors that need to follow the orchestra, not the other way around
I heard director intended for scene to be in a condition that would create sniffles etc, to bring authenticity to the physically emotional response from the actress. Great work you feel for her pain.
I love how they did it.

Another thing to add was the challenge to record her voice, because the first few recordings, all they could catch was the water and not her
@@quillion0877 that's what I was thinking about too. How the rain impacted both the audio recording and her ability to broadcast her voice.

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

He is gone

Without him

All my life

Without me
His world will go on turning

My all time favorite musical movie/play. And this song - wow! Her voice and her acting stirs so much emotion. The story, combined with the musical score is just incredible. How anybody could be so gifted to write and compose this masterpiece is beyond belief.
Samantha Barks actually has an interesting story, for those that don't know.
She originally auditioned for the Andrew Lloydd Webber TV show I'll Do Anything, for the chance to Play Nancy in the Stage show Oliver. She came third. But she was actually the one Webber hoped would win the show. Webber later cast her in some of his shows. Then she was cast in the Stage show Les Miserables as Eponine. Then when the producers were making this film they went to see the stage show and were so impressed by her performance they cast her in the same role in the film.
Idk shy but this gives the same vibes as that song from Corpe Bride. "I know that I am dead. But it seems that I still have some tears to shed."
Now if you think about it, Emily and Eponine are kinda similar. Like they both have a one sided love over a boy who loves another woman. Much to think about.
진짜 이분 목소리 너무좋아서 아직까지도오는중
If there is ever an anthem for unrequited love, this would be it
She has the best voice of anyone in this movie. Deserved more credit for her performance.

I'm going through something similar and I just wanna hug her and tell her she deserves the world
My favorite character
Singing with water streaming down her face, hitting marks, camera and boom in her face. Amazing performance to boot!
Also with an awfully constraining costume that will make you uncomfortable when stooping down
@@priyachoudhary9896 great point
Such heart-wrenching emotional commitment and truth in this performance. The gold standard.
Eponine and Cosette basically trade roles. As a child Cosette sings Castle on a Cloud and now Eponine sings On my Own. Cosette as a child's fantasy was to have a mother figure hugging her, Eponine fantasy was to have Marius around her.
개인적으로 에포닌은 정말 안타까운 캐릭터인 것 같습니다. 도둑질을 일삼는 부모 밑에서 자랐지만, 자신이 사랑하는 이를 위해 대신 몸을 던져 죽음을 택하는 용기를 가졌다는 점이 정말 멋진 것 같습니다.
노래 뒤에 깔리는 잔잔한 비소리까지 너무 좋다
울고 싶을 때 봄... 처절함과 슬픔이 너무 잘 보여서 눈물 글썰이게 됨...
Anne Hathaway and Samantha Barks performances were incredible.
Eddie singing Empty chairs at empty tables was amazing too
My favourite number from the movie version, absolutely crushed it. The fact it was sung live with such emotion was award worthy
im 100% sure this is the same set used for Harry Potter
Well... they did use the same studio
It actually is
@@lewisnorth1188 Wait, really? I thought that was a joke!
@@shifra1967 no, they hand-built the set, but probably the same studio.
Ah, the corner at the beginning was Fred & George’s shop
Her love and emotion broke my heart.. Seeing her pain made me cry!
'The river's just a river...' Always makes me bawl. Don't know why.
It's really amazing that she sounds exactly the same as she did in the 25th anniversary concert. Despite Hooper's best efforts to kneecap his performers, she didn't lose anything!
What was Hopper doing to them?
@@lefinlay Hooper didn't want Samantha Barks to upstage the lead actors aka Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway. But, Sam blew them all out of the water. It's even more shocking to learn that Hooper actually wanted Taylor freaking Swift to play Eponine (though he got her into CATS).
@@jbvader721tay-tay would’ve never did this justice Im sorry
@@nightmeowonelmstreet215 Nope.
@@jbvader721 wait it turns out Taylor did audition but she knew she wasn’t getting it and just got cats as a compensation
alternatively, this is how i'd sing about eddie redmayne too
absolutely love the beauty and sorrow in the song🥺
Samantha Barks sounded amazing in this movie; She deserved a lot more recognition.
연기를 너무 잘하셔서 볼 때마다 눈물 남ㅜ.ㅜ
이 노래 정말 좋다.. 특히 The river's just a river 할 때 찡함
i dont think ive ever cried harder than when i first saw this. whole movie is amazing
This is what love is. Wanting the best for someone even if they don't care for you.
She just couldn't understand that love can grow to care for more than one person. Her obsession made her miserable and missing out on the other men in the college within her social circle.
"Without me his world will go on turning" felt that❤
This is so sad Alexa play do you hear the people sing.
can we just appreciate how the instrumental fits so well with the vocals?
watched this in a theater with my date in Bangkok 2013. Memorable moment.
Eponine represents the love one still can have for life when life doesn't loves you back. Thou still a tragedy in the final song the words "to love another person is to see the face of god" mean to show the right actitud towards the tragedy of life
This movie was grosly underappreciated.
i do love this version of this song, but having heard her sing it live?? my god she is incredible!!!
Gets me in the feels every time!

나 홀로
그가 내 옆에 서 있다 생각하며
혼자서 아침이 올때까지 걷네
그이 없이도 그의 팔이 날 감싸는 듯해
길을 잃었을때 눈 감고 있으면
그가 날 찾아내지
빗 속에 도로 포장은 은빛으로 수놓이고
강에 비친 빛은 흐릿하지
어둠 속에 가로수들은 별빛으로 빛나고
그리고 내 눈에 보이는 건 전부 그와 나 뿐이지
영원히 그리고 영원히
그렇지만 난 알아 다 망상에 불과하단 걸
난 그가 아니라 내 스스로에게 말할 뿐
그리고 그가 다른 사랑에 눈 멀었음에도
난 아직 말하네 '우리'가 될 길이 있다고
그를 사랑해 하지만 밤이 끝나면
그는 사라지고 강은 그저 강일 뿐
그이 없이는 나의 세상은 낯설어져버려
가로수는 헐벗은 채 흔하고
거리는 낯선 이들로 가득할 뿐
그를 사랑하지만 난 매일 깨달아
내가 해왔던 건 그저 가짜일 뿐이란 걸
나 없이도 그의 세상은 계속 되겠지
행복으로 가득찬 세상이겠지...
나는 한번도 알지 못한 그런 행복
그를 사랑해
사랑해
사랑하지만
나 혼자의 사랑일 뿐
We have all developed feelings for someone we know does not feel the same way back. :(
This song just sealed Samantha’s power. She was so robbed of an Oscar nom.
My absolute favourite version of this song. She has a beautiful voice.
Her “I love him”s at the end 😭
I don’t like how relatable this song is
No one does this better. She is so suited to play this part.
Lol she is good but let's be real here, Lea does it better
@@ragiingtomato14 you dont feel the emotion and pain when lea sings, dont get me wrong I think shes great but I believe that Samantha is better
On my own
나혼자..
Pretending he's beside me
그가 내 곁에 있다고 생각해
All alone
혼자서..
I walk with him till morning
그와 함께 아침까지 걸어
Without him
그가 없이도
I feel his arms around me
나를 감싼 그의 팔을 느껴
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
내가 길을 잃었을 때 내 눈을 감으면
And he has found me
그가 나를 찾아내
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
빗 속에서 길은 은빛이 나
All the lights are misty in the river
강물에 비친 모든 불빛은 안개같아
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
어둠속에서 나무들은 별 빛으로 가득해
And all I see is him and me
내 눈에 보이는 건 그와 나 뿐이야
Forever and forever
영원히.. 영원히..
And I know it's only in my mind
그래 이게 내 마음 속에서만 일어나는 일인 걸 알아
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
그가 아닌 나 자신에게만 말 하는 것도..
And although I know that he is blind
또 그가 앞을 볼 수 없다는 걸 알지만
Still I say, there is a way for us
여전히 난 말하지, 우리를 위한 길이 있다고
I love him
그를 사랑해
But when the night is over
하지만 이 밤이 지나면
He is gone
그는 사라지지
The river's just a river
강은 그냥 강에 지나지 않아
Without him
그가 없이는..
The world around me changes
나를 둘러싼 세상은 변해
The trees are bare and everywhere
나무들은 헐 벗은 채로 어디에나 존재하고
The streets are full of strangers
거리는 낯선 이들로 가득하지
I love him
그를 사라아해
But every day I'm learning
하지만 난 매일 깨닫고 있어
All my life
나의 모든 삶은
I've only been pretending
그냥 내가 상상해 왔던 것일 뿐이야
Without me
내가 없어도
His world will go on turning
그의 세상은 계속 변해할 거야
A world that's full of happiness
행복으로 가득찬 세상
That I have never known
내가 전혀 알지 못했던 세상
I love him
그를 사랑해
I love him
그를 사랑해
I love him
그를 사랑해
But only on my own
하지만 그저 나 혼자만의 상상일 뿐이지..
I feel sorry for Éponine, I was crying during this scene. 😭
my psycho English teacher made us do about 15 hrs of assignments on this one song. I had to listen to it SO MANY TIMES that it still rings in my ears to THIS DAY. some teachers really have a way of making you hate learning.
Que bella es Samantha Barks.
What emotion she projects in this song. You can feel the sadness she's going through...... Samantha is the best Eponine I've seen. Amazing!
Samantha barks love you too and love your voice of epoinie in les miserables you deserve of tony award for this.
You know this is a movie right?
she is the best in this role!!!!
IS IT NECESSARY TO HAVE GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS?
Shivers and tears every time!! Samantha breaks my heart, amazing performance, she is AMAZING!
Me realising my crush will never like me even though I've legit never made a move on her because i hate the feeling of being rejected.
Women hate making the first move, they love it when men make the first move. It also show's confidence and initiative, two traits women find very attractive.
@@ILikeMyPrivacytbt imma give it a try tomorrow see what happens
@Elizabeth Brightmoon I guess i'm stuck in the endless void known as the friendzone. But to be honest, i prefer being friends, going the extra step may have ruined the friendship me and her built up over the years. so all in all, i think it went pretty good.
@@SnooSnoo503 aw I'm so sorry man. at least she at least knows how you feel and you don't have to keep it in always just wondering what could have been :(
It could be worse. In high school, I wrote a love note to a boy who wasn't interested in me. He treated it as something to laugh at. It hurt at the time, but now I think I was better off without him.
'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
but only on my own...'
goodbye, my Disney Prince. 💔
Fantine story was very sad, but I just can't. Éponine story is so sad... And this scene is so dramatic... and... Nevermind, I'm crying again...
If you think about it she never had a good family to begin with, her baby sister is not in the movie but she's used just as cosette later on. Gavroche was disowned and she usually prefers to stay outside because she herself hates her own family. Then she sees this other person who has the same ethics and morals as her and though they don't talk much, she pretends that they are best friends, and eventually she falls for him, but he's fallen for cosette and that literally breaks her, seeing the person she hated being the one he loves and she blames herself too. It's appalling her final resolution of dying just leaves her happy because for the first and last time she won't pretending being in marius arms.
@@priyachoudhary9896 I LOVE your answer ✨
Yeah. Fantine’s story is tragic but it feels very removed from the average viewer. Meanwhile most of us know how unrequited love feels even if we don’t have eponine’s terrible home life. But then again a lot of people (myself included) have used crushes as an escapism the general shittiness of life. Unhealthy coping mechanism but it’s relatable
Don’t think we should compare both and say which is worse than the other, they both suffered in such a painful way and are actually the most tragic characters that there is even a mashup of their songs together, a world that’s full of happiness that they have never known. :(
The best Eponine and the best rendition of this beautiful song about unrequited love.
This was my angst song in high school. I had a crush on a boy who wasn't interested in me. This song always reminded me of him.
Such a powerful song, rendition, and moment!
she makes me cry
Her voice is absolutely angelic ❤
This is my favorite scene. The song, the emotions ... Samantha Bark's singing and acting generally. The sequence, frames, camera movement, lightings etc are just a plus. I am not a singer but out of all the music scores, her singing was the best. She was the best in this film. Other's voices were good enough but nothing close to her.
It's interesting how it seems that people love this or hate this. I love it. Personally, I think the imperfections are what make it perfect. Her character is in a deep state of suffering, bordering on sobbing. She sounds exactly how she is supposed to.
I wish I could sing songs like her...
I love her vioce
i have heard so many covers on this song, but her voice takes me here back again.....
