It’s good, but the missing chorus from the original is still used throughout the show which is a little jarring for people who remember the original. For new audiences it doesn’t matter
I like the tie-in with Christine's cadenza, but kinda gives creeper vibes with Erik's "Now Sing... sing for me.. " to his own son, only 10 years old, the boy only just met him..
I had seen the tour in the US back in 2017. Do you know if there is a actual CD with this version of this song in it? I did see it on ITunes, but I guess I am one of the few that still want the CD.
I'd rather listen to the other version but I think this has a better tone and feeling for the characters. The opening with Christine's song is a great change. I like how this is more about how there is beauty in the dark music they're attracted to. They're bonding over their mutual darkness rather than JUST how they find beauty in ugliness. The Phantom taking off his mask and still being rejected feels a lot more tragic in this version, because it felt like they had a more genuine connection.
The Beauty Underneath [PHANTOM] Play that again He... How could it be He hears the music [GUSTAVE] You... You hear it too You hear the music [PHANTOM] Now sing [GUSTAVE] Ah------- [PHANTOM] Sing Sing for me [GUSTAVE] Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah [PHANTOM] Have you ever yearned to go Past the world you think you know Been enthralled to the call Or the beauty underneath Have you let it draw you in Past the place where dreams begin Felt the full, breathless pull Of the beauty underneath Can you taste it Have you heard its music and embraced it Do you crave the visions that it shows you Do you wonder why it chose you Like it knows you Knows you have a darkness running through you If you're not afraid I'll show it to you [GUSTAVE] You don't fear the darkness do you? [PHANTOM] Have you found yourself beguiled By the dangerous and wild And then hooked, as you looked At the beauty underneath Have you felt your senses surge And surrendered to the urge Tell me you know it too Know the beauty underneath If it's in you In your skin and bone And blood and sinew If it doesn't frighten you And shake you There are places I can take you [GUSTAVE] I can taste it I have heard the music and embraced it Hear it in the wonders that you've shown me [PHANTOM] It's as if he's always known me [GUSTAVE] It's all so beautiful So strange yet beautiful Everything just as you say [PHANTOM] And he's so beautiful Perhaps too beautiful What I suspect cannot be Still he seems so much like me I can't look away Can you taste it? [BOTH] You have seen the darkness and embraced it Don't you crave the visions that it shows you Don't you wish that it had chose you [GUSTAVE] Why it knows us Knows our skin and bone And blood and sinew [PHANTOM] Knows the things I recognize within you Are you willing to continue? [BOTH] But it knows you Knows your skin and bone And blood and sinew Know you have no beauty Deep within you Knows the madness can't continue [PHANTOM] Then you're ready? [GUSTAVE] Yes! [PHANTOM] Come closer [GUSTAVE] Yes! [PHANTOM + (GUSTAVE)] You've no fear of the beauty underneath? (Ah-------) [PHANTOM] You can face it? [GUSTAVE] Yes! [PHANTOM] You can take it? [GUSTAVE] Yes!

[PHANTOM] Let me show you the beauty under- [GUSTAVE] (screams) POR FIN PUEDO ESCUCHAR A GUSTAVE CANTAR LAS NOTAS PRINCIPALES DE LA CANCIÓN ORIGINAL, ES REALMENTE ÉPICO!!! XOXO DESDE #ECUADOR🇪🇨🎶
Personally I got a mixed feelings. I love both version, and I have to agree the new version is much more climatic if I may use that word. Fits much better to the ambience of the performance, it's less rock, a bit more delicate but the old one has much more...gloom and it was ghastly.
I honestly think the 7/4 timing in some parts of this one is kinda whack. It adds an unnatural element that I appreciate but sometimes it randomly jumps into 6/4 and back into 7/4 and then straight INTO 4/4 and it's hard to follow the beat. This was the first version I got to see, though, and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
Wow...this is so good....I must put this in my mp3...I just...The beat..the singging....why isnt this the real one...this is just..I cant..💓💕💜😭😭😢😢😟😟😟😞😞😞

Do you crave the visions that it shows you? Do you wonder why it chose you? Like it knows you, knows you have a darkness running through you. If you're not afraid I'll show it to you. GUSTAVE You don't fear the darkness, do you? PHANTOM Have you found yourself beguiled By the dangerous and wild? And been hooked As you looked At the beauty underneath? Have you felt your senses surge And surrendered to the urge? Tell me you know it too Know the beauty underneath. If it’s in you, In your skin and bone and blood and sinew. If it doesn’t frighten you and shake you There are places I can take you… GUSTAVE I can taste it, I have heard that music and embraced it, Heard it in the wonders that you’ve shown me… PHANTOM It’s as if he's always known me. GUSTAVE It’s all so beautiful! So strange yet beautiful! Everything just as you say! PHANTOM And he’s so beautiful, Perhaps too beautiful.
