I mean, Hamilton did compare his life to a Shakespearean tragedy in Take a Break... Too bad we couldn't just give Lin all of the creative liberties he wants to just change all of the upcoming sad events! (I guess that is what fan fiction is for, right?! Hahahaha)
The "be careful with that one" line was also. They have many letters from Angelica to Eliza that mention letters from Alexander, but no one has found most of the actual letters from Alexander to Eliza. Did she burn them? No way to know for sure, but they haven't found them yet 🤔
If you like her voice here, go take a listen to her on the off-Broadway (bright red cover) cast album of Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet. She is stunning. It was one of the top 5 musical performances I’ve seen in 40+ years of theater going.
“Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted..” we actually don’t know what happened during that time, it’s said that Eliza burned most of her letters with Alexander so we truly don’t know her reaction
Honestly yes Burn is very sad but the water works come with It’s Quiet Uptown for me. It’s just soooooo sad and beautifully arranged! Can’t wait for you to react to this one!
All of the Founding Fathers (and there wives) definitely knew they were making history, and they were **obsessed** with their legacies. Those who were able to grow older before they died (Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, etc.) all spent years and years arranging the papers, etc., that they were leaving behind (and burning any they didn't want preserved for posterity) in hopes to have some hand in shaping and cultivating their legacies. And they left instructions with their wives and children for what to preserve and what to destroy after they died. Several of them, like Franklin and Jefferson, also wrote autobiographies. Jefferson even made sure to leave behind lists of his accomplishments And then after their deaths, their wives and children also continued to champion the Founders' place in history and to carry on their legacies. As I commented on One Last Time, Eliza had to really fight for Hamilton to get credit for the contributions he made to Washington's Farewell Address. We learn more of her accomplishments in the final song.
Haha... “I’m learning to rewind a bit after speaking” aw man, this made me chuckle because I pictured some of the comments I’ve seen telling you what you missed when you paused. It’s all good, love the explanations about the production. So the comma thing was in his letters to Angelica (the sister who is his intellectual match). The letters in this song are the ones he wrote to his wife (Eliza) who is furious because of his affair with Mariah Reynolds. He sure kept it complicated, Alexander!!!
Little fun fact - when seeing the show live - the actress playing Eliza actually burns paper on stage during this song and they pump in a scent of burning paper to the audience. :-)
@@JacobRestituto to add to that fun fact, they also tested tons of different kinds of paper being burned before they found the perfect one. They wanted it to burn out completely by time she walks off the stage so it's not still burning at the start of the next song.
Burn is one of my absolute favorites because of the perfect match of Phillipa Soo's voice to the production. Her vocal control is so tight that she sounds like she's a full instrument in the orchestra herself, specifically a violin.
on the one hand I love hearing producer's reaction to music I like because they notice things from the production that I would've never noticed and I learn a lot. On the other hand I find it infuriating when they miss the masterful lyrics because they're paying attention to the panning of drums or something like that hahaha This is awesome though.
The next one is Blow us all away, then Stay Alive (Reprise). I´d recommend you watch them both in the same video man, if not you´ll get a massive cliffhanger, story and music-wise.
You might want to take a look at First Burn. It’s an alternate, angrier version. There’s a video where various Elizas (not Pippa Soo but successors on Broadway, tours and the West End) sing it.
5:23 I feel like the word you're looking for is sforzando. Its an interesting dynamic direction for instruments (and voice) that can be sustained. I like to describe it as soft-hard-soft.
I’m begging you to release the next two tracks on the same day. They are vital to react to together. I know you know musical terms and these were written “attacca”. They can’t be separated. Love what you’re doing, man. Keep it up!
Ahhh 6:33 I hope you realize that the last 4 songs (including burn) have been about alexander cheating on eliza and his downfall because of it going public (the reynolds pamphlet)
Don’t know if anyone else commented on this but when she performed this on the stage, they spent a lot of time finding the right type of paper that would burn slow so it would burn in time with her killer lyrics as she sings “buuuuuurn”, so many incredible facets to this brilliant work of art 🔥🔥🔥
You'll see at the end of the show that Eliza definitely knew she was making history. Hamilton and the people around him left a ton of letters that were largely preserved because they were aware that they were making a legacy. But there is very little between him and Eliza, even though we know they wrote to each other often. No one knows why there isn't much left, but one theory (that Lin Manuel Miranda went with) is that she burned his letters because she was (justifiably) angry after he published the Reynolds Pamphlet. But no one knows for sure. In fact, Eliza Hamilton said many times that she thought she was a terrible writer, especially compared to people like her husband and sister, so she might have just not wanted that to be her legacy. One thing this song definitely gets right, though, is why she was mad. She knew he had an affair. Most powerful men did. But by telling everyone all the details he damaged her reputation, too. Keeping it private she could live with, but his attempt to save his political reputation humiliated her.
@@SofiaBerruxSubs yeah, but divorce wasn't really a thing back then. And I think that she really did love him, even if he did massively screw up. She did take the kids and stay with her dad for a while.
Can anyone else think of an example of another musical with themes for so many characters that are woven so strongly through the score? I know there is some of this happening in Les Mis, but not to this extent... When I try to think of other examples, I think more of film. Star Wars and Game of Thrones come first to my mind...
West Side Story is famously loaded with them! Hadestown is as well (which is incredible!). Caroline, or Change... Ragtime... any Sondheim score... and, yes, certainly Les Mis. Not to take anything at all away from Hamilton, but a lot of musicals are thick with storytelling through motifs. It's cool to be able to analyze how they function in terms of narrative, character, and emotion.
would love for you to react to "first burn" from the hamildrop project (and maybe some other hamildrops - which are reimagined versions of songs from the show)... they're a lot of fun, especially in terms of production
I love how you explain the little details which make a big difference in the sound! I’m a musician - Music Ed major - but I’ve missed some of these things.
Phillipa Soo, who plays Eliza, is also in another musical that I think you'd like! She's in the original cast version of The Great Comet of 1812 and it's such an underrated musical. It got nominated for 12 Tonys in 2017. Dave Malloy is a genius in my opinion and Great Comet is one of his best works
Hah. I just left a comment about this up thread. She was stunning in that show. I saw that production 4 times because it was like watching a star being born.
If this is getting sad then I have no idea how you'll react to it's quiet uptown because that ranges from making me hysterically cry to just tear up a little (I think different people are more affected by either stay alive [reprise] or it's quiet uptown and it's quiet uptown makes me very emotional because it hits a specific issue I have)
If you go back and listen to the last line, she draws out the "R" in "Burn" and barely caps off the "N" at the very end. Basically saying, "I hope that you BURRRRRRRRRRRRRn." Which is foreshadowing for what's to come.
Yay! This is one of my fav, when you watch the whole play you'll see that the motifs really carry through in a lot of songs. Even just the chord sequence. I'm definitely going to be there for the full reaction, would be great to hear your opinions more when you react to the lyrics also. There are so many amazing bars and lines in it. I've shared your channel and the Christmas song with my friends. Sorry I've been commenting a lot, just love the content you make.
If I remember correctly, the Arpeggio for Burn is just an adjusted version of the Arpeggio from Satisfied. (I want to say they made it minor or something similar. The one in Satisfied is just a pentatonic scale that’s arpeggiated.)
I know Washington kept all his correspondents letters and made copies of them. If I'm not mistaken, I think even Hamilton worked on making copies of Washington's letters during the war. Washington always made sure his letters were safe and secure when traveling from one place to another. He knew how important these letters would become to historians.
Yes they knew they were making history. It's referenced in songs like "My Shot", The Story of Tonight", and "History Has It's eyes on You", "One Last Time", Who lives who dies". I was having this conversation the other day about how these young men KNEW what they were doing.
The thing is that they can't over post product this because this is Broadway They are freaking talented people who have to perform as good if not better live every damn night, while dancing, while crying... They probably cleaned the vocals a little but the talent is quite pure and raw
Fun fact my friend in college got me obsessed with this the month it came out. The super sad song where Phillip dies was playing in my ear on the bus on a packed public university bus. I got home and yelled at her for almost making me cry in front of other people. WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THIS WAS SAD!! 😡
After you do all Hamilton you should check out some deleted songs from it like first burn or congratulations I am now obsessed with all your videos. New subscriber here
they would probably think fleetingly about how they were making history the same way we can look forward in our history and anticipate how it will judge our current politicians.
Re: you wondering if these people knew they were making history/that a play would be written about them - there's a part at the very end of the musical that you'll experience when you watch it on Disney+, and one interpretation of the very ending is that Eliza is seeing the audience and realizing that very thing, that there was a play about them (and that their story has been told). I can't wait for you to watch it!
You should react to “First Burn” by Arianna Afsar, Julia Harriman, Lexi Lawson, Rachelle Ann Go and Shoba Narayan. Lin confirmed in a tweet that it was the first draft of “Burn” and it’s really good!
OMG if you think THIS is sad. You ain't seen nothing yet. In one of the upcoming songs in the live play, Phillipa Soo (Eliza) literally screams and its not in the soundtrack audio. Thankfully. Because its the most heart wrenching sound you'll ever hear
You have GOT to check out the How Hamilton Works series by Howard Ho here on TH-cam after you finish listening. He breaks down each theme in incredible detail and it’ll make you appreciate even more the effort that was put into creating this show.
Please make a reaction to Congratulations!!! The song had to be cut from the musical because of how long the musical already is but it's a really good song and it's from Angelica's point of view when she found out that Hamilton cheated
@Jacob Restituto You have no idea literally how vicious Eliza was with her action(s) here (in this song & in real life)... She literally went straight for Alexander's throat. Hamilton's legacy was like the one thing he was completely, utterly obsessed with beyond anything else, and Eliza outright made the decision to destroy it, by destroying anything that might let history make him out to be good person, despite his affair (hence the "Burning the letters that might have redeemed you" line). She burned ALL her letters from him, therefore leaving history with nothing that might have made him out to be a good husband despite his adultery. To this day, we have no idea what they said to one another in those letters (hence the "Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart" line... literally, historians do wonder what they said to one another, what happened between them). By burning the letters, Eliza had her fierce revenge by dealing what would-have-been a catastrophic blow to his legacy.
@@JacobRestituto I know!!! Eliza was a total badass and completely savage in this instance. She skipped any small, petty type of revenge and went straight for the cutthroat kind. Her burning the letters was a cold, vicious, and calculated action; she knew exactly what the consequence of doing so would be for Alexander's legacy. In a way, she was erasing Hamilton from the narrative (aka history) along with herself (as seen with "I'm erasing myself from the narrative" line) in one single, calculated action. By burning the letters, she was destroying them both in history's eyes.
Hello dear hope this song make u guys feel better and rising up hope in this tough time 🙇♀️💎 speaking of genius this musician of rising song is genius sir ☺️👍 th-cam.com/video/pV8pQ8k0Fzc/w-d-xo.html
Andra Day does an incredible cover of this song on the Hamilton mixtape. Philippa Soo (the actress/singer in this recording) is also fantastic, of course, but I love the grit that Andra Day brings to this song. Check it out!
I would like to listen to you react to the a capella group Voctave! Anything really they do really... I think you'll be amazed! They do a lot of Disney and Broadway themes. Oh and Christmas also...
Re: did they know they were making history? Well, as the play says, every American experiment sets a precedent. Maybe most notably, Washington not running again. And yeah, this starts the sad. As you may hear future Hamilton say, ‘your mother can’t take another heartbreak.’😢
the way you look at it from a musician perspective is amazing! can you react to lana del rey, specifically ultraviolence her album, i’m sure you’ll love it, please!
You should check out the PBS special, Great Performances, Hamilton's America. It starts filming LMM about 6 months before the show first opens off Broadway. It's extremely informative from both Lin-Manuel (the writing/creating of the play) and Ron Chernow(historical facts), whose biography of Hamilton inspired Lin to write the play. It's an excellent documentary. th-cam.com/video/SDTmITgsye8/w-d-xo.html
maybe an unpopular opinion, this might come as a surprise to you, BUT its not one of my favorites haha ;) the whole scene is a breakup song basically...well done, just not a favorite moment Leslie Odom Jr., the actor of Burr, he did a youtube special where he asked the cast which part of the show they loved more, the first half (everything up to non-stop) or the second half of the play, basically everyone preferred the first half. what do you think so far? the second half takes more time to like it recon
New subscriber, love your Hamilton reviews! You should check out the Hamildrop "First Burn" - it's Lin's first draft of "Burn" and all the singers have played Eliza Schuyler! It's pretty dope and you see a very different side of Eliza th-cam.com/video/r2ys-AimNbE/w-d-xo.html
Why is this play getting so sad...
I mean, Hamilton did compare his life to a Shakespearean tragedy in Take a Break...
Too bad we couldn't just give Lin all of the creative liberties he wants to just change all of the upcoming sad events!
(I guess that is what fan fiction is for, right?! Hahahaha)
oh man it gets SO MUCH WORSE. can't wait. it's almost over arrghhhh
Because you don't get to choose who lives, who dies, who tells your story...
More to come!!!
It get's more emotional 😢 you should definitely react to Hamilton mixtapes songs as well, they are awesome!!
Fun fact the Icarus line is something Angelica actually wrote to Elisa
The "be careful with that one" line was also. They have many letters from Angelica to Eliza that mention letters from Alexander, but no one has found most of the actual letters from Alexander to Eliza. Did she burn them? No way to know for sure, but they haven't found them yet 🤔
It says in the song do you know what Angelica said she said, then says what she wrote to Eliza ❣️
I love that quote.
"All this you would not have suffered if you had married into a family less near the sun." For anybody wondering.
oh wow! where did they find all of these letters??
@@JacobRestituto Ron Chernow wrote the 800 page biography of Alexander Hamilton. Pretty sure I remember Chernow finding letter in a museum.
My favorite part of this song is her “...in how they perceive you YOU YOUUUU”
So powerful. Love her voice so much!
If you like her voice here, go take a listen to her on the off-Broadway (bright red cover) cast album of Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet. She is stunning. It was one of the top 5 musical performances I’ve seen in 40+ years of theater going.
“It’s getting sad”
Honey, you go another thing comin
oh great.
This 😂😂😂
@@JacobRestituto prepare yourself. No one is ever ready.
I feel like a proud mama everytime he compliments Pippa's voice.
haha
“Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted..” we actually don’t know what happened during that time, it’s said that Eliza burned most of her letters with Alexander so we truly don’t know her reaction
snap
Honestly yes Burn is very sad but the water works come with It’s Quiet Uptown for me. It’s just soooooo sad and beautifully arranged! Can’t wait for you to react to this one!
Marie Pelletier same! I cry every time!
@@melbelle9499 same!
Every time 😭
It's Quiet Uptown is the saddest song of the lot! It's so beautiful, I LOVE it.
I love how Hamilton has forced people to give musical theater the respect it deserves.
Definitely
All of the Founding Fathers (and there wives) definitely knew they were making history, and they were **obsessed** with their legacies. Those who were able to grow older before they died (Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, etc.) all spent years and years arranging the papers, etc., that they were leaving behind (and burning any they didn't want preserved for posterity) in hopes to have some hand in shaping and cultivating their legacies. And they left instructions with their wives and children for what to preserve and what to destroy after they died. Several of them, like Franklin and Jefferson, also wrote autobiographies.

As I commented on One Last Time, Eliza had to really fight for Hamilton to get credit for the contributions he made to Washington's Farewell Address.

What's that saying? Something like, "History is written by the victors". We only know what they want us to know.
Hope u like this songHope this song make u rising hope and energy
God bless you

This was Phillipa Soo (Eliza) Broadway debut. She graduated from Juilliard in 2012
woah!
The next one is Blow us all away, then Stay Alive (Reprise). I´d recommend you watch them both in the same video man, if not you´ll get a massive cliffhanger, story and music-wise.
just posted!
The piano at the beginning: plays
Jacob: I think we heard this motif before
Me: yeah, in the song right before this one
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah but he recognized it as well when it started at the end of the renalts pamfle
hahah
You might want to take a look at First Burn. It’s an alternate, angrier version. There’s a video where various Elizas (not Pippa Soo but successors on Broadway, tours and the West End) sing it.

LOL
5:23 I feel like the word you're looking for is sforzando. Its an interesting dynamic direction for instruments (and voice) that can be sustained. I like to describe it as soft-hard-soft.
I’m begging you to release the next two tracks on the same day. They are vital to react to together. I know you know musical terms and these were written “attacca”. They can’t be separated.
Love what you’re doing, man. Keep it up!

Can anyone else think of an example of another musical with themes for so many characters that are woven so strongly through the score? I know there is some of this happening in Les Mis, but not to this extent...
When I try to think of other examples, I think more of film. Star Wars and Game of Thrones come first to my mind...
Ramin Djawadi, is one of the few composers/arrangers who comes close Alex Lacamoire
One that comes to mind is The Last Five Years, which is actually referenced in Hamilton when Hamilton says “nobody needs to know”
West Side Story is famously loaded with them! Hadestown is as well (which is incredible!). Caroline, or Change... Ragtime... any Sondheim score... and, yes, certainly Les Mis.
Not to take anything at all away from Hamilton, but a lot of musicals are thick with storytelling through motifs. It's cool to be able to analyze how they function in terms of narrative, character, and emotion.
Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, Avenue Q, just to name a few...
would love for you to react to "first burn" from the hamildrop project (and maybe some other hamildrops - which are reimagined versions of songs from the show)... they're a lot of fun, especially in terms of production
The arpeggio is a combination of Wait For It's pulse, My Shot's chord progression, and Satisfied's B line (where the downward part plays 3 times)
Managed to catch up on all the Hamilton videos in the past two hours 🤣🙌🏽🤣
WOW! lol
i love the me re do from the band at 9:45 when she shes "of when you were mine"
Of course they knew they were making history. Everything they did was historic. From gaining independence to creating a new form of government.
crazy times!
I love how you explain the little details which make a big difference in the sound! I’m a musician - Music Ed major - but I’ve missed some of these things.
thanks!!
I’ve just binged most of these reactions and I want to say that your explanations and analysis are sick. Loving the vids

Love your videos. The only thing I wish you would do is a short recap at the end of what you liked the most.
maybe I can try to start to!
Every time I watch the musical I cry at this song, it’s just to heartbreakingly beautiful
❤️
If this is getting sad then I have no idea how you'll react to it's quiet uptown because that ranges from making me hysterically cry to just tear up a little (I think different people are more affected by either stay alive [reprise] or it's quiet uptown and it's quiet uptown makes me very emotional because it hits a specific issue I have)
If you go back and listen to the last line, she draws out the "R" in "Burn" and barely caps off the "N" at the very end. Basically saying, "I hope that you BURRRRRRRRRRRRRn." Which is foreshadowing for what's to come.
Entertaining and incredibly educational as well! Love these reactions and will be joining the patreon!
Thanks for the support Roxy!
Yay! This is one of my fav, when you watch the whole play you'll see that the motifs really carry through in a lot of songs. Even just the chord sequence.

Tbh, I feel like the next part of the 2. Act will only have its full effect if you watch "stay alive reprise" and "it's quiet uptown" in 1 go.
it's getting really sad
yay! so happy you did this one!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
The thing is that they can't over post product this because this is Broadway
They are freaking talented people who have to perform as good if not better live every damn night, while dancing, while crying...

The Transition from The Reynolds Pamphlet to Burn is so🔥
TRUTH
It's quiet uptown is the most lyrically and musical heart touching songs in the musical. Can't wait for your reaction💯💯🤞
coming soon!!
Interesting trivia-Hamilton’s image was scheduled to be taken off the $10 , until this little, insignificant musical came along.
they would probably think fleetingly about how they were making history the same way we can look forward in our history and anticipate how it will judge our current politicians.

More sadness to come. I just watched Hamilton again tonight lol after watching these vids, i needed to see it lol
snap.. more!??
On stage, she literally burns the letters in a bucket.
oh sick!
I can't afford patreon 😭😭😭 In my country $12 is S/44 which is a lot... Sorry :(
send a text to my international number
I am trying to figure something out for international!
Up next ... 🌚
Phillip is rolling in his grave
snap
Please make a reaction to Congratulations!!! The song had to be cut from the musical because of how long the musical already is but it's a really good song and it's from Angelica's point of view when she found out that Hamilton cheated
thanks for the idea!
You should react to First Burn, it's another version of Burn and it's really good. It's made by the same people of Hamilton.
cool thanks
You have to review “It’s Quiet Uptown”. That’s a three hanky song for me.
I feel that
The next reaction will blow us all away
it's getting mad sad
Amazing
thanks!
Is it gonna be this month the Disney react on patreon just so I know to sign up on time ?
yes!
that's my plan!
The sad part is just getting started, wait until “stay alive - reprise” and “it’s quiet uptown” come up... That sequence makes que MISERABLE
oh great.
You should listen to 1st burn which is on here also on TH-cam you would love it
@Jacob Restituto You have no idea literally how vicious Eliza was with her action(s) here (in this song & in real life)... She literally went straight for Alexander's throat. Hamilton's legacy was like the one thing he was completely, utterly obsessed with beyond anything else, and Eliza outright made the decision to destroy it, by destroying anything that might let history make him out to be good person, despite his affair (hence the "Burning the letters that might have redeemed you" line). She burned ALL her letters from him, therefore leaving history with nothing that might have made him out to be a good husband despite his adultery. To this day, we have no idea what they said to one another in those letters (hence the "Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart" line... literally, historians do wonder what they said to one another, what happened between them). By burning the letters, Eliza had her fierce revenge by dealing what would-have-been a catastrophic blow to his legacy.
woah!
@@JacobRestituto I know!!! Eliza was a total badass and completely savage in this instance. She skipped any small, petty type of revenge and went straight for the cutthroat kind. Her burning the letters was a cold, vicious, and calculated action; she knew exactly what the consequence of doing so would be for Alexander's legacy. In a way, she was erasing Hamilton from the narrative (aka history) along with herself (as seen with "I'm erasing myself from the narrative" line) in one single, calculated action. By burning the letters, she was destroying them both in history's eyes.
🔥Burn🔥 such a great song. LMM is a musical genius.
LEGIT

Andra Day does an incredible cover of this song on the Hamilton mixtape. Philippa Soo (the actress/singer in this recording) is also fantastic, of course, but I love the grit that Andra Day brings to this song. Check it out!
I would like to listen to you react to the a capella group Voctave! Anything really they do really... I think you'll be amazed! They do a lot of Disney and Broadway themes. Oh and Christmas also...
cool thanks!
Re: did they know they were making history? Well, as the play says, every American experiment sets a precedent. Maybe most notably, Washington not running again.
And yeah, this starts the sad. As you may hear future Hamilton say, ‘your mother can’t take another heartbreak.’😢
It’s actually 220 years later not 250. This is just before the election of 1800 so 220 years later would be exactly 2020.
it only gets sadder from here :D
Oh great.
Oh, it keeps getting sad
the way you look at it from a musician perspective is amazing! can you react to lana del rey, specifically ultraviolence her album, i’m sure you’ll love it, please!
thanks for the idea!
I know you are doing this days apart, I kinda wish that you could pick up on the story a bit more. I guess you will when you watch the show 😉
looking forward to the show!
As much as I love this song, I love First Burn more- more anger to it while Pippa is heartbroken.
I have to check it out!
Jacob Restituto please do! It's the original version of this song and the official music video features other Eliza's.
You should check out the PBS special, Great Performances, Hamilton's America. It starts filming LMM about 6 months before the show first opens off Broadway. It's extremely informative from both Lin-Manuel (the writing/creating of the play) and Ron Chernow(historical facts), whose biography of Hamilton inspired Lin to write the play. It's an excellent documentary. th-cam.com/video/SDTmITgsye8/w-d-xo.html
Wooo
😃
maybe an unpopular opinion, this might come as a surprise to you, BUT its not one of my favorites haha ;)
the whole scene is a breakup song basically...well done, just not a favorite moment
Leslie Odom Jr., the actor of Burr, he did a youtube special where he asked the cast which part of the show they loved more, the first half (everything up to non-stop) or the second half of the play, basically everyone preferred the first half. what do you think so far? the second half takes more time to like it recon
The second half is so sad....
he uses the same chord progressions for emotion Bmajor F# G D E major d C#... emotional feelings
oh cool!
omg no pls put the hamilton reaction on youtube🥺🥺 i dont have any extra money 😩
I'll put clips here
Welp, the show has taken a big turn. Get ready to embrace a whole range of emotions.
for real!!!
Check out this video to see the orchestra pit th-cam.com/video/jHs0NVvTxHY/w-d-xo.html
Can you react to britney spears new song swimming in the stars
New subscriber, love your Hamilton reviews! You should check out the Hamildrop "First Burn" - it's Lin's first draft of "Burn" and all the singers have played Eliza Schuyler! It's pretty dope and you see a very different side of Eliza

Boy do you have a habit of pausing right in the middle of the best lyrics, LOL.
My badd
lol i’m broke but i wanna watch this :/
This is my 2nd least favorite song, preceded only by It's Quiet Uptown. I wonder what I'll learn about it after the musical analysis.
Being a music guy. You absolutely need to watch more musicals. The cleaver attachment of music to character is common.
cool thanks!!
If you made a country im sure you would think about what people would think of you
true
