- PLEASE READ to understand (lyrics below) - What to do when you can’t decide between 4 songs for a special vid? Do them all! lol - hope this makes up for my long absence. :)… Songs are from Dracula original cast recording & Broadway musical - with: Michael McCarthy, Thomas Borchert, James Barbour, Kate Schindle and Stephanie Benavente…Heavily inspired by my E/C vampire story Through Bonds Immortal - much of vid follows story already posted and chapters to come (like a teaser), some doesn’t (but follows lyrics). If interested: www.fanfiction... (extra clips from Dracula Untold & Dracula 2000)
Lyrics to “Within My World”, “The Longer I live”, “At last” & finale
Rage consumes me!
It keeps my need for vengeance alive, like the blood on which my kind survive
But life mocks me in my envy
They are unworthy!
Love is wasted on men so naïve; To know love is to also achieve
Blissful passion… Zealous passion!
Such mortal feelings are never forsaken
And once again those passions will awaken
My evil has its beauty when it suits me to possess
The hearts of those my vengeance will embrace
Within my world they have a worthy place
These years of weakness, unending damnation
Hidden yearning to know death’s liberation
Now, at last I realize there’s another prize to win
I’ll taste again the conquests of my past
Within my world she will know love at last
Across vast oceans her master will reach her
To teach her delights no mortals possess
She will enter my world and discover its splendor
Then completely surrender to my tender caress
She has inspired me. And stirred my emotion. Burning embers enflame a new devotion
I’ll turn back the centuries, to enjoy the sang de vie (French for blood of life)
That long ago began my destiny within my world - Within my world
This youthful illusion will surely deceive her , to make her believe my passion is real
When she enters my world I will seal her surrender with a kiss I intend her forever to feel
I will beguile her. Excite her sensations; she’ll abandon herself to new temptations
She will know true ecstasy - When she drinks the sang-de-vie
That long ago began my destiny within my world
Despite her world - she will belong to me!
***
I've seen so many sunsets in my life; I should know everything there is worth knowing.
But since I saw your face I don't know where I am, there's no map that can show me where I'm going.
The longer I live the more I wonder if I know anything at all.
If I've ever been in love, I can't recall.
The longer I live the less I'm certain, that I have all the answers right.
I'd give all my yesterdays for one more night.
It's hard to make each moment count when you're alone, maybe that's all I need to know.
The longer I live without you near me, the longer the empty years will be.
The world will not turn until you turn to me.
My world will not turn until you turn to me!
***
MINA
At last there are no questions, I know all there is for me to know
My heart and I have all the answers, I know how I want my life to go
At last the mist has lifted, It’s all so simple, so crystal clear
Why did I fight what was meant to happen?
The fight is over, at last I’m here
I don’t need the sun to make me shine inside, I have your eyes
And I don’t need light for me to see what’s right
DRACULA
At last there are no questions, You know all there is for you need to know
My heart and I have all the answers, I know how I want our lives to go
D &M
At last, the mist has lifted, It’s all so simple, so crystal clear
Why did we fight what was meant to happen?
The fight is over, at last you’re here
***
You pursue me, yet you cannot escape your defeat - As I planned, so my triumph’s complete.
You have brought me my possession. She is my trophy, one I've chosen to always be mine.
She is here by my vengeful design, and my glory, she is my glory.
Your mortal beauty, will not be forsaken, let my power within you now awaken.
Seize your only destiny, and renounce mortality.
The time has come to know death's cold embrace.
Within my world, you have an honored place.
The burning emotion of desire invites me to savor delights no mortals possess.
I will enter your world, and discover its splendor, then completely surrender to your tender caress.
I have possessed you, beguiled your sensations, Now abandon yourself, to new temptations.
I'll renounce mortality, to fulfill my destiny. Within this darker world, that you promised me.
Within my world? Despite your world, my soul belongs to me…

Great combination of both Dracula musicals. I love it.
Thank you so much! : )
It's scary how the lyrics actually fits with the scenario. But, this is amazingly epic throughout! Excellent job!
Thank you so much! :) And also for letting me know I achieved my goal!
Oh my Disney! This is so amazing. And you did the song At Last. That is my favorite song from Dracula.
Thank you! :)
honeyphan2 that’s actually really awesome.
This is gorgeous! Loved the music, the lyrics, the editing, the storytelling, everything! It goes so well with Through Bonds Immortal, too.
So great honey! Enjoys the songs that went very well with the video you chose! Your editing always amazes me and these videos are so beautiful. Please continue to make this wonderful content!! :)
Thank you so much!! :D
Oh wow, that was nearly thirteen minutes of pure awesomness! Loved it!
Honey, you've done it yet again. Beautiful work
Thank you so much!! :D
Omg love it the songs fit well with the story telling, I just wish my relationship was like this one can dream, LOVE It, at last my favourite part.
Thank you!! :))))
AWESOME! Thank God! I was wishing on a star for a new video lol! Amazing work as always! Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
@@honeyphan2 lol well its wonderful
That was amazing! I really liked it! Congrats💕
Thank you! :)
Ohhhh ... I'm so impressed right now! It's fine! BEAUTIFUL! I fell in love with this video😍 This is what a giant job was done! I admire your talent and patience✨ I don't know how to express my feelings, because all the banal compliments seem out of place. In every work I see a soul. This is wonderful! And now I'm going to watch another video of Dracula songs😅 (Oh, and I wanted to see Dracula 2000🌚)
Thank you so much!! :D I"m glad you enjoyed it so well and that you see the soul behind it! The living, breathing emotion I try to put in all my works. :) I actually did another vid of songs from the Dracula musical a few years ago - (also based on the same E/C fanfic, when I had just started writing it.) If you haven't seen it yet and want to, here it is: th-cam.com/video/oQKB5GbB0j8/w-d-xo.html
@@honeyphan2 Oh, I know about this video, that's what I meant :)
How is Vimeo there? I do not like to get bored and realize that you may be busy. But I look forward to the rest of Phantom's Christmas acts
OMG- I'm so sorry - with all that's been going on here, I flat out forgot! Am going to Vimeo right now to do the next act.... will post the link here when it 's up....
@@honeyphan2 Thanks :) That's cool
Good news - first half of Act 8 is up! vimeo.com/371183061 (Phantom Christmas is the password)
bad news- this was one of the really long ones, going over 12 minutes (like this vid! ha!)- so even though I split the clips (because the total was over 600 mb) it still had a size of 400 for the first half - so I'll have to put the second half up next week on Tues. - I'll set a reminder to remind me and leave that Firefox window open. :)
Great job!! Thank you for this!!
Thank you!! :))
Honey, this is sheer perfection! I understand your efforts to make it as close to T B I as possible, and hmm.., some scenes are difficult but! IT'S WORTH IT. Gerry looks so young - it isn't illusion - wholly fits lyrics description. You found beautiful background, that moon is really cool! I can sense vibes of your story, though there is no wonder why, since l'm immersed head over heels in it. Please, forgive me that I haven't comment last chapter yet, l have a lot of thoughts and want to share with you. Soon, l promise! I just work on 16 chapter APDT, l want to make it with every possibly details, though I doubt if l will succeed ( especially dinner's conversation with Carlotta!).
Thank you so much! :))) Yeah, I probably should have just gone with straight Gerry Phantom and Emmy since they most closely resemble my characters (though no one has golden eyes! lol) - and also Gerry was Drac, so that really helped in clips since same actor played him - but nearly 13 min. is a lot of time to fill and I didn't want to repeat a shot too often, though I did at a few points with E/C. And changing the one eye color (to depict Christine in her mask the night of Samhain, when she first met Erik) was a real trial! But I managed to get it from light green to a dark green-brown if not completely brown. lol The castle I used is Dracula's castle (Vlad the Impaler) - and the blood moon on the bridge? It's from a game I own called Vampireville! lol - the other blood moon was from Poldark. I really had to do a lot of hunt and search to find what I needed - but you know all about that!
Wow honey!! Really beautiful!! Loved it ♥♥♥
Thank you so much, Sarah! :))))
Lovely video honey! So much passion throughout :) I'm sad to say, I haven't read this fanfiction...yet. I've been extremely busy these last few months and haven't had much free time to read for fun, but the moment my schedule clears up, I'm reading this! Malgorzata always tells me how great your recent stories are (and she's done a good job editing to them) and mentions how my videos remind her of your stories. My "Take A Bow" video reminded her of your "Inferno of Angels" story and my "You Are Not Alone" video reminded her of "The Treasure" (both are also on my to read list- LOL). I can't wait to catch up on reading your stories once I find the time...I always did enjoy your writing. Anyways, lovely job again! I really liked this one and the way you incorporated all versions of Phantom and Dracula-Gerry in it as well. :)
Thank you so much!! :D - Believe me, I do understand - as I told a few others, this vid was supposed to be up on or before Halloween - but I didn't have the time needed to make that happen, and being a nearly 13 min. vid, it took four times the amount of days it usually does to make a vid! No surprise there... - Malgorzata surprised me with her video tributes of my recent stories - I'm always amazed at how spot on she is in finding things to fit how I wrote them in my tales and how she shows it with her talent. :) I'll definitely have to watch those vids you mentioned (if I haven't already). When you do catch up, I hope you enjoy what you read ... I'm currently writing 6 E/C stories, including this one (crazy, I know.) :)
@@honeyphan2 I am pretty sure I'll enjoy them when I get to finally read them-- I always enjoy the way you write Erik and Christine as characters :) And I hope you enjoy my videos as well once you see them (if you haven't yet)--I'm curious to see if the author finds any resemblance to her stories in the videos as Malgorzata saw in them ;)
Amazing! Could you do Loving you keeps me alive, for the angel you are and heart’s desire next? ♥️🥰
Not sure how I missed this comment! sorry
AMAZING I LOVE IT
Thank you so much! :D
5:25 Where did you get those photos of Christine and The Phantom Erik????! 😍
I made them. : ) - I make manips as a hobby for E/C, as well as making these PotO vids and also writing fanfiction for them - my avatar here is one of those manips.
Where are the love scenes from???! They stitch so well
Dracula 2000 and Dracula Untold. Since Gerard Butler played Drac in Dracula 2000 - some scenes from that movie work well to mesh into PotO vids. ;-)
Am I weird for imagining myself in his castle?
It's a cool castle, isn't it? I used the castle of Vlad the Impaler (who Bram Stoker based his Dracula on) and is known as Dracula's Castle - different shots of it (and also clips from Dracula Untold).
Hi, I know its a longshot but I really love the dracula musical and it recently got taken down on all platforms. I hadn't found it availiable to download anywhere so I didn't. Big regret, as now I can't find it anywhere. I managed to find some mv's of a couple songs I considered favorites, but Im still missing some other faves (namely This Is My Chance, The Proper Thing To Do and For The Good of Mankind) and I was wondering if you have the whole musical downloaded, or know someone who might? I've been searching for weeks and I can't find anything, not even CDs for sale. I'm sorry to bother you but if you had the music files, I would really, REALLY appreciate it if you could email them to me or make a dropbox or something. Hope to hear back, thank you!
Hi - are you talking about this one?: th-cam.com/video/mUuW4-JIWyw/w-d-xo.html
@@honeyphan2 i might be, but unfortunately the audio of the video you sent shows up as unavailable for me :(
I am just curious, have you watched Strangers From Hell yet? If you had, do you like it?
I haven't had the time yet to binge-watch (which is how I do those) - but it is on my to watch list. :) This vid was supposed to be up before or on Halloween, and I just have hardly had any time to myself this past week with unforeseen stuff happening here. lol I usually multi-task when I watch my shows, etc as I'm doing other things - but they're in English, and I can just hear and do and watch at the good parts. ;-) With the Asian ones, there are subtitles I must read to understand what's going on, so can't do other things. But I am intrigued, with what you said about it, and I do plan to give it a shot - once I do, I'll let you know if I liked it.
@@honeyphan2 OK, I will wait for your comments then, just take your time.
Hello do u still take requests??
Yes, but the wait for PotO is really long....
@@honeyphan2 OK no worries I've changed my mind but thanks for the reply x
Song list?
Hi- The songs I used, in order, are Within My World, The Longer I Live, At last, and the first part of the finale from the Dracula Musical. You can find all lyrics in the description. :)
honeyphan2 amazing video!!!!
Thanks!! :D
