I sang this yesterday on the theatre... at the end of the song I actually cry, this is such an emotional song especially for an actor, you don't know when your career will end.
I feel like this song would hit close to home for anyone who performs it. I know the live action movie was shit, but I can’t help but feel that Ian McKellin, as well as John Mills in the 1998, was performing from the heart and looking back on their lives as actors as they remember the glory days when the future just seemed so far it could never come. As a performer, I don’t look forward to that day myself. But I am excited to see what the future holds
