All I Ask Of You - Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson | The Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack 

My husband and I had this at our wedding. It was our song. I had it played at his funeral. It will always be our song.

Probably THE most romantic song I've ever heard.

Phantom: I want to own you Raul: I want to stay by your side

Ed Warren. Saving women from ghosts since 2004

Patrick Wilson is severely underrated as a vocalist. Without a doubt the strongest voice of the entire movie.

I love when she says, "Say you love me..." and before she finishes, he says, "You know I do." It's just so freaking romantic!

“Music of the Night” is the Phantom’s love song to Christine. He sings it all by himself, indicating that he is controlling and possessive towards her, and won’t let her be her own person. “All I Ask of You” is Raoul’s love song to Christine. This is a duet. This indicates that Raoul is encouraging and patient towards Christine, and lets her voice her opinions instead of making her his puppet. No wonder she chose Raoul.

She would have made a great Belle for beauty and the beast

When you are young and immature, you watch this and think, "Go away Raoul!...Christine and the Phantom belong together!" Then when you grow up, you realize that Raoul really was the good guy and the right choice. The Phantom didn't love her, he was just controlling, abusive, and obsessed. He was always "punishing" her for not doing and being what he wanted. Raoul was kind, giving, patient and forgiving.

Lolol I thought of this at school when a teacher was trying to get us to focus and said "Just focus. That's all I ask of you" and I kinda laughed really quietly and this has been stuck in my head ever since.

I always had a sinking feeling that Christine was betraying the phantom, that she left his deep devotion to her for a petty boy who gave her flowers and was nice to look at, until I realized just recently that Christine's love for Erik is Stockholm syndrome, and Raul is leading her out of a lifelong deception and swirling nightmare geniusly designed by Erik to trap her. I listened to this song for the millionth time once and realized that until she loved Raul she didn't realize what she had wasn't true.

Is nobody gonna talk about just how beautiful and powerful the instruments in the background are?!?! And I still love this in 2024 :)

Patrick Wilson and Emmy Rossum sing this song better than any other duo. I think Wilson in particular is underrated as a singer.

I don’t care what everyone else says about him, I love Raoul. He had such good intentions and just wanted Christine to be safe and comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE how complex Phantom is. But Raoul is just great. (Especially Patrick Wilson)

Patrick Wilson was the perfect choice for Raoul. He has that very Prince Charming voice. So sweet, gentle and reassuring.

Used to prefer the phantom over Raoul when I was younger. But now I'd choose Raoul because his love is true.

I truly admire the tender love between Christine and Raoul. Erik is a wonderful character, but I believe he needed first some introspection or a good therapist in order to know how to love himself first, forgive the past and learn to "give" and not just "take" Christine is totally inspiring, since she could "saw" the very essence of the Phantom, as a human, as a living being, she recognised his inherent beauty and potential of goodness. In a way, Christine really "loved" the Erik, which I understood as the epitome of "love your enemy" and "love one another". That's true compassion. That fuels change in the most damaged people. But nobody is obliged to "save" another one. Christine honored herself and choose her freedom and happiness in Raoul. In the end, Erik let her go, because he realized that their love was pure, and he was trying to possess her while Raoul was risking his life to free her. Love is about appreciation. Thanks for reading... I hope you have a beautiful day and find an uplifting love that makes your soul soar!

When Raoul whispered “Christine,” I got ~tingles~ because that’s my name too and the way he said it was just ahhhhhh

Why is everyone hating on Raoul so freaking much. I understand that the phantom hypnotized us with his voice and strong appearance but he takes Christine hostage he doesn't have love for Christine. Unless love to u guys is obsession. Honestly they both have points on my board but Raoul can do much more for her.

The fact Emmy Rossum was 17 and having a vocal ability is incredible.

Patrick really needs to do more musicals. I love his voice.

Andrew Lloyd Webber: a freaking genius.

Although I love this version of the song, my heart couldn't help but ache for poor Erik seeing the love of his life kiss another man. I could feel his heart being ripped in half.

Aaahhh! Everyone being so sad for the man who abuses, kidnaps, and murders when he doesn't get what he wants is exactly why so many people end up in abusive relationships and why it's so hard to get out.

RAOUL No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears. I'm here, nothing can harm you - my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry -your tears.

Patrick Wilson's voice cured my depression

Christine: That's all I ask of you. Also Christine: *proceeds to list a thousand requests*

Love Patrick Wilson. He has the voice of a Disney hero

I never expected such a wonderful comment section with so much love for the healthy relationship out of the two in this story. I was so sick of hearing people defend Erik.

To anyone who is on Erik’s side, remember that he met Christine as a CHILD. He GROOMED her into thinking she loved him. There was never love. It was curiosity and fascination by Christine, and obsession on Erik’s part. I can’t believe there are people who believe deception, mental and emotional abuse and manipulation, murder, and kidnapping is romantic and considered love.

I love the Phantom/Erik, but what he feels for Christine isn't love. It's obsession; it's twisted.

Patrick's voice completely embodies Raoul's character in the musical. Raoul represents warmth and light. Hence, his voice is calming soothing and clear. Which directly contrasts the Phantom who represents mystery and darkness, hence the Phantom's voice is powerful and intense. I really love this rendition by Patrick and honestly one of the few times I feel truly rooting for Raoul and Christine..

The older I get, the more I appreciate Raoul.

The Phantom's love song to Christine is "Music of the Night," but here, Raoul sings _"Let daylight dry your tears"_ and _"Let me be your light."_ Holy crap... Raoul is the Dayman to the Phantom's Nightman!

Patrick Wilson doesn't have the strongest voice, but I find it very pleasant and to me he was the only Raoul I wholeheartedly rooted for. Great job in this movie.

can we talk about the fact that when they filmed this movie, emmy was 16, patrick was 30 and gerard was 34..........

Patrick Wilson is hands down the best Raoul.

This song makes me realize how amazing Raoul is and makes me cry...so romantic

"All I want is freedom. A world with no more """night"""". Ouch

Raoul's hair brings me back to the first time I tried to use a curling wand

I love love LOVE Patrick Wilson's voice. I wish he'd sing more, or do more musicals, or release an album. His voice is beautiful, so gentle yet so masculine. This scene made me firmly Team Raoul.

why does everyone hate on the film Christine so much? She has an amazing voice :)

They played this song at my parents wedding and that’s one of the reasons I like this song

I watched 8 seasons of "Shameless" and had no idea she could sing like this. Amazing.

Patrick's voice... is my bias. For me, he has the best voice for a Raoul. It's so comforting and soothing

That quick few seconds when Christine said "to hold me and to hide me" and we see the Phantom crying really breaks my heart.

And this is exactly why I have been a fan of Patrick Wilson since 😭

Whether you want to admit it or not, being with a "Phantom" is nice in theory, but we all end up settling down with a "Raoul" eventually.

How is this movie already 12 years old wtf. One of my favour Phantom songs ☺️

This movie is my introduction to Patrick Wilson I was 16 years old when I saw this and I knew I fell in love with him that day. Still love him now. This movie is one of the most important movies of my life.

Oh how I wish I were a soprano to be able to sing this :-( Beautiful

Our high school doing a production of this in February I was lucky enough to get the role of Raoul and this is my absolute favorite song that I get to sing!

Part of the Phantom's charm is that who he really is, and his actions, are unpredictable. You can tell that Christine feels truly safe with Raoul and that he would never treat her wrongly. The Phantom loves Christine in the way he knows best, and it's very hard to treat people in a healthy way when you've been so mistreated your whole entire life.. he probably thought he treated her correctly.

My heart aches for the phantom :( it's so sad! Am I the only one who knows exactly how to phantoms feels? To be heart broken, to be lonely.

For a long time, I've been enchanted by the Phantom of the Opera, how dark, handsome, and mysterious he is. And to a small degree, I still am. In a fictional setting, it's downright sexy for a tall, dark, handsome stranger to seduce you with his powerful charisma. From the safety of our screens, we can be enchanted by this taboo. But in real life, it's a whole other ballgame. Real life Phantoms really are scary. They produce abusive relationships full of one-sidedness. I just came from watching Music of the Night, and it's an interesting contrast between that one and All I Ask of You. While Music of the Night is the Phantom asking Christine to give her whole life, identity, and willpower over to him, Raul in All I Ask of You is offering her peace, comfort, true love, protection, and joy, and asking her to give him the opportunity to give her all these wonderful things. And Christine wants that, too. With Raul and Christine, it's a mutual exchange of love. I especially love when Raul says, "I'm here," it's so touching and warming. :) I think the reason many people are romantically attracted to the Phantom is not just the tragic character, but also, going back to the taboo, what we may really want is not the one-sided nightmare of an abusive relationship, but maybe a partner who is good but knows how to be "bad", and by that I mean just in the seductive way who knows how to be dashing and alluring, not in the way that wants to dominate, control, imprison, and brainwash. The Phantom may have some degree of caring for Christine, but that is far overshadowed by his possessiveness and seeing her as more of a pretty little doll who can fulfill his darkest wishes. Raul sees her as a human being, whom he wants in his life to love him, but he also wants to love and take care of her. Don't go for the seductive request for one-sidedness, go for the warmth of a loving mutual exchange! :)

Wow! I remember Emmy Rossum from SHAMELESS .... Now, I see her in Phantom Of The Opera... 😸😸😸

Christine: “Raoul! There’s been a murder! What should we do?!” Raoul: “I know! Let’s randomly go on the roof and confess our love for one another! That’ll help!” Lol

Raoul's "you know I do" at 3:17 is so reassuring and calming. Patrick killed it!

I sang this in choir back in high school, and it left the audience in tears.

Who else wishes you and ur partner had these voices and singing a cute duet w eachother like a movie

I have been Team Phantom, but I always very much liked Patrick Wilson as Raoul. 15 years later Patrick Wilson is still an immensely likable screen presence.

The chemistry between these two is off the charts. Even when the sang on The Today Show or Good Morning America (can't remember which), the ways they looked at one another were beautiful. I hope they do another musical together.

There's no musical on earth that can touch phantom..So so sad it's gone ..

Played at my daughter funeral 😭😭😭 brings tears to my eyes each time I watch the film or at the theatre. May you rest in peace 🙏

When you're getting engaged, meanwhile there's a murder going on downstairs

So beautiful...so Romantic...and so Tender......

They are the only ones that sing “Anywhere you go” together in the same note. Everyone else has Raoul’s part doing harmony, which doesn’t sound right. Only Patrick and Emmy do it perfectly.

My focus is always on the Phantom. 😭😭😭

patrick wilson is a good singer. they are so good together. ❤❤

I was flipping through the tv channels when I saw this movie playing during this scene. I think it was only less than a year since it came out and I was only around 9 or 10 when I saw this scene. Needless to say I quit flipping the channels because this scene alone made me weep tears.

This is my absolute favourite version ❤️ Every line they take their time to sing, the oh so perfect tempo that I don’t see with the other faster versions

I feel the phantom's pain on a deeper level than anyone who has never gone through an unrequited love can ever comprehend. It is absolutely painful to love someone that you would be willing to give the entire world to just to watch them fall into the arms of someone else.

I have to say, the amount of people in the comments saying they either used to or still do prefer Christine with the Phantom worry me slightly.....

Such a great moment. You feel so happy for them, but at the same time the phantom is being absolutely crushed and you feel for him.

This is one my favourite songs of all the time 💖

This song is so romantic.

Didn't cry during Titanic. Did not weep during Old Yeller or Up. Seen the darkest and greyest movies. None of them made me cry. I wept several time during this one. Deepest movie I ever witnessed. I might not be able to watch it again. The final scenes were the hardest.

This song reminded me of a Disney movie idk why lol btw Patrick's voice is amazing 😍 ( I came from the conjuring 2 when he sang )

3:58 OH MY LORD FANTASTIC

I love this song ❤ I watched this movie with my husband close to Christmas of 2023. He actually chose it for me. December is our 19th year anniversary. The lyrics resonate so much 💝 I love all seasons though and night or daytime together 😅

As much as I love this movie, it's kind of exactly like James, Lily, and Snape. There is a big difference between love and obsession. James and Lily's patronus's were a stag/doe respectively. They were wonderful compliments to one another. Snape and Lily's patronus's were both doe's. The exact same. Obsession is not the same as love. Complimentary is different from need.

Is there anything Emmy Rossum cant do? More talent then all of Hollywood combined

I am the biggest sucker for thie song. Every time, the desire for the love described washes over me like a tsunami.

After watching so much ‘Shameless’ I often forget that Emmy’s capable of this, too! Such a talented actress!

I will NEVER get over Patrick Wilson’s voice here… it’s angelic and softly powerful and full of so so much control and beauty. I could listen to him sing forever

To leave out the Phantom's reprise is unforgivable.

Having heard Girard Butler sing and bring the Phantom of the Opera to life in the remarkable film version of Andrew Lloyd Weber's stunning music, it is still the most beautiful and touching performance of all the other performances by every other actor. Girard ButlerBrought his Phantom to life. Thank you so much for th.at film.

The Phantom is the darkside of us. Wanting that other half to complete us, in order to feel whole and loved for our faults and mistakes. Raoul feels like the confidence of who we are and are willing to die for the ones we love. Your pick on who you wish to be. In my own personal experience I was once was the Phantom and I feel like today I am Raoul, and no matter the outcome of the relationship that I am today, I will feel like Raoul until I am old loving a tombstone with heartfelt memories and nostalgic feelings.

Everyone's talking about the reasons why they love Raoul in terms of plot and how his love for Christine is true and all that... I just love Raoul because I'm a fan of Patrick Wilson :D

I'm a 50 years old man but I got goosebumps everytime I listen these song

The fact that phantom sees this is so sad

His voice is so sweet sounding. It's so calming.

This mans voice is so comforting god bless

Patrick Wilson's voice is perfect for this role. He and Hadley Fraser are tied as my favorite Raouls. =D

This the MOST beautiful proposal song 🥰

Oh god- this makes me cry every time I listen to it. My wattpad heart still yearns to see Erik and Christine together..

Phantom:"damn Christine why do ya gotta do me like that"

She is very beautiful and has a great voice.

This is a PERFECT audition song as a duet for two people providing the voices of a new Disney Prince and Princess respectively.
