I'm shocked so many are confused and questioning why Moritz is singing what he is, the motivations, when to me someone who went through depression and thoughts of suicide it couldn't be more clear. "I don't do sadness" is that he doesn't do this, being sad, being emotional, being beaten by his father, failed by teachers, feeling left out of his friend groups, his mom not being there, he doesn't want to deal with this and he cant, it's exhausting, so the only way out he sees is ending it all. "Hey I've done my time, looking back on it all it blows my mind", that strikes an even deeper core because he's saying "I've lived my life, I'm surprised I made it this far, but it's time for me to go" It's denial, it's him hyping himself up that this is the right way to go out, that hey nobody is going to care.
I’m auditioning for Moritz today 🎉🎉🎉 I did Spring Awakening in college and was Ernst and I loved it And now I’m going to be doing this show in my local theatre ❤❤❤
I don't know if anybody will read it, but I had to write it down. My heart just got broken tonight. He told me he likes me, but he has people on his side. I know because he told me. I am not a person to be played with. I told him to choose, and then to tell me. I knew I had to let the bitter, terrible feeling go, and I just knew what song to hear to let it out. So here I am, nearly 2 AM on the couch, crying while listening to the song. I'm not a person that cries easily, but "touch me" helped me to release my caged tears. Thank you, Duncan Sheik, for writing this.
All that’s known In History, in Science Overthrown At school, at home, by blind men You doubt them, And soon they bark and hound you Till everything you say is just another bad about you All they say Is “Trust in what is written” Wars are made And somehow that is wisdom Thought is suspect And money is their idol And nothing is okay unless it’s scripted in their Bible But I know There’s so much more to find Just in looking through myself, and not at them Still, I know To trust my own true mind And to say there’s a way through this On I go To wonder and to learning Name the stars and know their dark returning I’m calling To know the world’s true yearning The hunger that a child feels for everything they’re shown You watch me Just watch me I’m calling And one day all will know You watch me Just watch me I’m calling I'm calling And one day all will know
There is a part I can't tell About the dark I know well You say, "Time for bed now, child" Mom just smiles that smile Just like she never saw me Just like she never saw me So, I leave, wantin' just to hide Knowin' deep inside You are comin' to me You are comin' to me You say all you want Is just a kiss goodnight Then you hold me And you whisper "Child, the Lord won't mind It's just you and me Child, you're a beauty" "God, it's good, the lovin' Ain't it good tonight? You ain't seen nothin' yet Gonna treat you right It's just you and me Child, you're a beauty" I don't scream Though I know it's wrong I just play along I lie there and breathe Lie there and breathe I wanna be strong I want the world to find out That you're dreamin' on me Me and my "beauty" Me and my "beauty" You say all you want Is just a kiss goodnight Then you hold me And you whisper "Child, the Lord won't mind It's just you and me Child, you're a beauty" "God, it's good the lovin' Ain't it good tonight? You ain't seen nothin' yet Gonna teach you right It's just you and me Child you're a beauty" There is a part I can't tell About the dark I know well There is a part I can't tell About the dark I know well There is a part I can't tell About the dark I know well There is a part I can't tell About the dark I know well

LYRICS: [MORITZ] God, I dreamed there was an angel Who could hear me through the wall As I cried out, like in Latin "This is so not life at all! Help me out, out of this nightmare," Then I heard her silver call She said: "Just give it time, kid I come to one and all" She said, "Give me that hand, please And the itch you can't control Let me teach you how to handle All the sadness in your soul Oh, we'll work that silver magic Then we'll aim it at the wall" She said, "Love may make you blind, kid But I wouldn't mind at all" [BOYS *(OTTO)* ] It's the bitch of living *(Bitch, just the bitch)* Nothing but your hand *(Just the bitch, yeah)* Just the bitch of living As someone, you can't stand [MORITZ] God, I dreamed there was an angel Who could hear me through the wall As I cried out, like in Latin "This is so not life at all!

to anyone who doesn't know: the song has a little intro they didn't add in this version of the song. It goes like this: Listen to what's in the heart of a child, a song so big in one so small Soon you wil hear where beauty lies, you'll hear and you'll recall the sadness, the doubt, all the loss, the grief will belong to some play from the past As the child leads the way, to a dream a belief A time of hope trough the land... and then the song goes like the intro of this version. It's quite beautiful. <3
! attention people listening for the first time ! this is an EXPERIENCE ok dont get me started this musical is so fucking good it will suck you down an obsessive rabbit hole and its amazing and all the actors are godly
im not into musicals, but my girlfriend got the role of ilse recently to i came to this video. their part is absolutely beautiful and gives me the chills. i cant wait to watch the performance!
i was 3 rows back in 2008 at this show. it was the first broadway experience, needless to say nothing will ever meet this moment in my life. it changed me and i was never the same . an art form with that impact is what is was all about
