I LOVE this song. I just love Jeremy’s version of it. He’s funny & sweet. He’s just an incredible singer who can literally emote the phone book. I also feel like it’s the one song Jamie sings that just makes you fall in love with him & the end of the song always makes me tear up cause in that moment, you can just see how much love he has for Kathy & it makes my heart swell, but also I know that he’s going to break my heart right after that by what he does. I love this movie though & I LOVE Jeremy Jordan.
He sang this live in London last year too, and I think it was my favourite of all the songs he performed. Obviously he's got a fantastic voice, but this really shows off his storytelling - he keeps your attention solidly for an 8 minute fairy tale, beautifully acting 4 completely different parts in the same song! Such a pro!
jeremy is incredible and brilliant and obviously i'd sell my right kidney to see him live, but can we take a moment to appreciate the violinist? he's going oFF
It’s lovely to have a second rendition of him performing this! I feel like we don’t talk enough about how beautiful this story is (by which I mean the Tailor of Klimovich) It’s such a sweet fairytale
OH MY GAWD THE SCHMUEL SONG IS NUMBER ONE FAVORITE SONG OFF OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND JUST HEARING JEREMY SING IT LIVE BROUGHT A LOT OF JOY IN MY HEART 😭😍❤
3:10 and 3:44 THESE NOTES!!! I DIED😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ also can we please talk about Jeremey’s clock dancing? 😊 Jeremy is such a talented bean. I would love to meet him in person.
My daughter recorded a portion of “Someone to Fall Back On.” Something happened and it cut the video off, but there is a snippet. I’ve added this to TH-cam 😁
Jeremy just keeps outdoing himself. Does anyone know what he says at 1:27 after “It’s an ad-lib I made up for the movie”? Is it “psych!”? 😂 😂😂 I can’t tell.
Schmuel would work till half-past ten at his tailor shop in Klimovich Get up at dawn and start again with the hems and pins and twist Forty-one years had come and gone at his tailor shop in Klimovich Watching the winters soldier on, there was one thing Schmuel missed "If I only had time, " old Schmuel said "I would build the dress that's in my head A dress to fire The mad desire Of girls from here to Minsk But I have no more hours left to sew" Then the clock upon the wal began to glow...

But the clock said "Schmuel! One stitch and you will Unlock the dreams you've lost!" So Schmuel, with reluctance, took his thread He pulled a bolt of velvet and said "I should take out my teeth and go to bed I'm sitting her with talking clocks instead!" And the clock said: "Na na na na, na na na Oh Schmuel, you'll get to be happy! Na na na na, na na na, I give you unlimited time Na na na na, na na na Just do it and you can be happy!" So Schmuel put the thread through the needle's eye And the moon stared down from a starless sky And he pushed the thread through the velvet black And he looked, and the clock was turning... back So he grabbed his shears and he cut some lace As the hands moved left on the old clock's face And his fingers flew and the fabric swirled It was nine-fifteen all around the world Every cut and stitch was a perfect fit As if God Himself were controlling it!

I ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR HIM SING THIS SONG LIVE 😭
It’s just as brilliant as you’d expect.
All of his talents combined in one song: singing, acting, storytelling and comedy
That smile from 6:41 - 6:56 just kills me every time 😍
I LOVE this song. I just love Jeremy’s version of it. He’s funny & sweet. He’s just an incredible singer who can literally emote the phone book. I also feel like it’s the one song Jamie sings that just makes you fall in love with him & the end of the song always makes me tear up cause in that moment, you can just see how much love he has for Kathy & it makes my heart swell, but also I know that he’s going to break my heart right after that by what he does. I love this movie though & I LOVE Jeremy Jordan.
The ease in which he switches among the characters is insane!
He sang this live in London last year too, and I think it was my favourite of all the songs he performed. Obviously he's got a fantastic voice, but this really shows off his storytelling - he keeps your attention solidly for an 8 minute fairy tale, beautifully acting 4 completely different parts in the same song! Such a pro!
jeremy is incredible and brilliant and obviously i'd sell my right kidney to see him live, but can we take a moment to appreciate the violinist? he's going oFF
Charlotte Newman The violinist is Todd Reynolds. And yes, he is phenomenal!
OMG JEREMY'S ACCENT IS SOOOO AMAZING!!!!
Incredible. He always sounds better live.
BTW this is the hardest song in the movie vocal I'm great he really pulled it off☺☺
Jeanette Nugent I agree! He is absolutely brilliant in his delivery!
Yes I'm so glad 😀😀😀
It’s lovely to have a second rendition of him performing this!
I feel like we don’t talk enough about how beautiful this story is (by which I mean the Tailor of Klimovich) It’s such a sweet fairytale
OH MY GAWD THE SCHMUEL SONG IS NUMBER ONE FAVORITE SONG OFF OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND JUST HEARING JEREMY SING IT LIVE BROUGHT A LOT OF JOY IN MY HEART 😭😍❤
I love this song, never thought he would do it live. Super happy I saw this!!
Faith Pearson I was thrilled that he sang this live as well. The entire concert was flawless. One of my absolute favorite experiences in NYC!
I think this s the best version ever. JJ funny, sad, hope and all the emotion are coming with every words he sang.
If you had never heard that song before and went to this live performance you would be shocked.
3:10 and 3:44 THESE NOTES!!! I DIED😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ also can we please talk about Jeremey’s clock dancing? 😊 Jeremy is such a talented bean. I would love to meet him in person.
Erin R Hilarious!! You can hear me laughing on the video. I got to meet him after the show. He is so humble and friendly!
Lindsay Owen I’m so jealous! But that’s great! He seems like a really great guy in person
Just to remember how this lovestory ends... it breaks my heart
god i am so in love with jeremy jordan
Everyone on that stage is just fantastic at their craft. Thanks so much for uploading this, feels like I should’ve paid to see that lol.
K R. Happy to post! Honestly one of the best intimate concerts I’ve ever attended.
Oh my...that was awesome. Thank you for sharing.
JRB’s reaction to Jeremy’s jokes..😂
I love the soft piano notes at the end so much!
That violinist tho
GENIUS. GORGEOUS
Love jeremy so much
good band
How am I just finding out that there's this live version on youtube?!?!?
HintOfSilver Glad you are enjoying it! It was incredible to watch LIVE!
this performance and everything about it inspires So Much Joy, I love it!
Im enjoying this song so much from Jeremy,not thinking of what jamie did in the movie
Schmuel x2!!! I would DIE if you recorded Someone to Fall Back On.
I regret that I didn't. :(
Sad. But thank you for this. It's so rare that he sings Schmuel!
@@calmbear7630 and shkatta goddess
My daughter recorded a portion of “Someone to Fall Back On.” Something happened and it cut the video off, but there is a snippet. I’ve added this to TH-cam 😁
I’m obsessed!! I wanna do a duet with him so badly, and I’m not giving my hope up
YES
Violinist going OFF
Jeremy just keeps outdoing himself. Does anyone know what he says at 1:27 after “It’s an ad-lib I made up for the movie”? Is it “psych!”? 😂 😂😂 I can’t tell.
Anna Cheeseman Not sure!! I was the one recording, but I was laughing, so I missed it 😂
@@JamesD-iw6pr Thanks!
He says “Sorry Jason”.
1:26 what did he say after “Oh look at the time!”? Something about movies?
Erin R He said he ad-libbed that part in the movie.
Schmuel would work till half-past ten at his tailor shop in Klimovich
Get up at dawn and start again with the hems and pins and twist
Forty-one years had come and gone at his tailor shop in Klimovich
Watching the winters soldier on, there was one thing Schmuel missed
"If I only had time, " old Schmuel said
"I would build the dress that's in my head
A dress to fire
The mad desire
Of girls from here to Minsk
But I have no more hours left to sew"
Then the clock upon the wal began to glow...
And the clock said:
"Na na na na, na na na
Oh Schmuel, you'll get to be happy!
Na na na na, na na na
I give you unlimited time!
Na na na na, na na na
So Schmuel, go sew and be happy!"
But Schmuel said
"No, no, it's not my lot
I've gotta make do witht he time I've got"
Schmuel was done at half-past ten and he said "Good night, old Klimovich"
Put on his coat to go, but then the clock cried, "Wait! Not yet!
Even though you're not wise or rich
You're the finest man in Klimovich
Listen up, Schmuel
Make one stitch and you'll see what you get"
But Schmuel said
"Clock, it's much too late
I'm at peace with life
I accept my fate..."
But the clock said
"Schmuel! One stitch and you will
Unlock the dreams you've lost!"
So Schmuel, with reluctance, took his thread
He pulled a bolt of velvet and said
"I should take out my teeth and go to bed
I'm sitting her with talking clocks instead!"
And the clock said:
"Na na na na, na na na
Oh Schmuel, you'll get to be happy!
Na na na na, na na na,
I give you unlimited time
Na na na na, na na na
Just do it and you can be happy!"
So Schmuel put the thread through the needle's eye
And the moon stared down from a starless sky
And he pushed the thread through the velvet black
And he looked, and the clock was turning... back
So he grabbed his shears and he cut some lace
As the hands moved left on the old clock's face
And his fingers flew and the fabric swirled
It was nine-fifteen all around the world
Every cut and stitch was a perfect fit
As if God Himself were controlling it!
And Schmuel cried through a rush of tears
"Take me back! Take me back all forty-one years!"
And on it went down that silent street
Till Schmuel's dress was at last complete
And he stretched his arms
And he closed his eyes
And the morning sun finally started to rise
And the dress he made on that endless night
Was a dress that would make any soul take flight
Not a swatch, not a skein had gone to waste
Every ribbon and button ideally placed
And swen into the seams were forty-one seasons of dreams
Dreams that you could feel
Coming real
And that very dress, so the papers swore
Was the dress a girl in Odessa wore
On the day she promised forevermore
To love a young man named Schmuel
Who only one day before
Had knocked at her kitchen door
Plenty have hoped and dreamed and prayed
But they can't get out of Klimovich
If Schmuel had been a cute goyishe maid
He'd've looked a lot like you
Maybe it's just that you're afraid to go out on to a limb-ovich
Maybe your heart's completely swayed
But your head can't follow through
But shouldn't I want the world to see
The brilliant girl who inspires me?
Don't you think that now's a good time to be
The ambitious freak you are?
Say goodbye to wiping ashtrays at the bar
Say hello to Cathy Hiatt, big-time star!
'Cause I say:
Na na na na na na na na
Cathy, you get to be happy!
Na na na na na na na
I give you unlimited time!

Stop temping and go and be happy!
