I feel like the occult meaning to this is regarding entering your shadow and accepting the darker aspects of the divine...of course escaping the demonic realms (an aspect of what he represents) but also being unafraid of the dark matter of conciousness.
Obviously if we compared voices on a technical level, Butler is far from perfect. But the raw emotion he puts in is just wonderful. Throughout the film i really feel what hes singing and believe it. The anger, the desperation, the loneliness; he portrays it excellently. I would prefer to listen to that than someone who was technically brilliant but didnt sell the story and emptions to me, anyday.
I have been obsessed with phantom kf the opwra my whole life... And now i am auditioning with music of the night for a scholarship through thescon! Thank you phantom of the opera for even getting me into theater!
This is a song for all of us guys who've never had a relationship with a woman who really and truly gets us, but we've met one and because of circumstances we can't be with her...
Experiencing the darkest moment of my life is making this song make sense. I am going to live as I have never lived before to honor the time I lost my baby girl.
every time when i listen to this, this like a magic！would make me frustrated, but soon, I learned some life principles from it It's really a very magical experience
Butler killed it. He had no formal training before this film, and was able to give this level of performance. I can see why Joel cast him; his deep raspy voice is so desperately trying to sound like a beautiful tenor, and that about sums up The Phantoms character: he was trying to be beautiful. 😢
Man, if I needed a reason to fight....here it is 👊 put up your dukes lets get down to it (The musical is an amazing work of art. But nah, Phantom, nah)
You see, I love the Phantom of the Opera movie and Gerald Butler but compared to the stage version, this isn't the best. Just the stage version is so much better.
This is the song I picked to sing in Drama class back in high school in my junior year. Despite my social anxiety, I actually did a great job singing it and received an A+. Heck, I passed the whole year with an A+
I always see light as life, and I have to live in that light, and I have always seen darkness as death. I know the phantom has facial scares, and for him living in the dark represents life for him, but my remark would be when I watched the last Wonder Woman Season 3 episode with Lynda Carter episodes 62 and 63, which was titled "Phantom of the Roller Coaster it's the final 2-part episode, Wonder Woman, played by Lynda Carter helped a facially scared twin brother come out of the darkness and shadows at the amusement park, and finally be reunited with his own brother, who is the owner/operator of the amusement park.
