I had the pleasure of seeing Brandi Carlisle live and when I tell you I SOBBED listening to her sing this song… one of the most beautiful songs ever made. ❤
The song you're referring to is "It's Quiet Uptown" from the musical Hamilton. This emotional ballad takes place after the tragic death of Alexander Hamilton's son, Philip, in a duel. The song depicts the immense grief and sorrow that Hamilton and his wife, Eliza, go through while mourning their son's death and trying to reconcile their marriage. The title "It's Quiet Uptown" refers to the Hamiltons' decision to move uptown, away from the bustle of the city, as they deal with their grief. The "quiet" refers not just to their physical location but also to the emotional quietness and isolation they experience in their mourning. The song conveys themes of loss, forgiveness, and healing, as Hamilton deeply regrets his actions that led to the duel and caused pain to his family, while Eliza eventually begins the process of forgiving him. This moment in the musical is heart-wrenching, as it portrays the couple's deep suffering and the quiet, reflective nature of their grief. It’s a significant turning point in the show, showing Hamilton’s vulnerability and his attempt to make amends in the face of profound tragedy.
When I end a relationship. I simply tell the other person that they are stealing my oxygen. Or at least I try to tell the other person nicely.. grow up.. I don't want to be your babysitter anymore. And when they asked me what I mean I told them that no one held my hand in my life. My last ex common law wife told me that she was not going to say goodbye to me. My response was stupid is what stupid does . Pretty much what I meant was not my version of goodbye but, good riddance. She in return said she was looking for a sugar daddy.. I told her that I may be as sweet as sugar but, I am not your daddy and I don't sugar coat anything.
