For the people who want to learn the lyrics or anyone else. I noticed there wasnt any other video like this so enjoy Blue-Jekyll Red-Hyde I dont own any of the music it all belongs to the original owner
"They'll never be able to separate Jekyll from Hyde" I love the symbolism of that line, because as far as popular media goes it's the truth. Jekyll and Hyde are forever bound to each other by this very work, in the public mind.
I know, it reminds me of this trope called "truth in television": Imagine a group of people that is labeled "criminally insane" and you start to wonder if they'll be alright since they are people too, they just have something broken inside them that no amount of any type of therapy can fix. Now, imagine them fighting themselves, (arguing with their own reflections and not for practice) almost as if they're fighting their own demons in a literal term. I'm sure if anyone knows about this, but this comedian/tv sitcom actor named Christopher Titus has been through a LOT during his younger years while visiting his mom in a mental hospital due to her being a "manic-depressive, schizophrenic." If this term needs an example, imagine a young woman (early to mid 20s) with signs of PMS despite not being pregnant, along with more than one voice in her head and she starts communicating with them. And now imagine that fore-mentioned woman killed herself after finding out the truth about so much heartbreak that she thought she put in her family. That actually happened to Christopher's mom (I got the source from his stand up comedies and his tv show that was cancelled called "Titus").
It's even funnier when you take the original book into account. Jekyll and Hyde collaborated pretty much to the very end, technically they didn't even want to be separated, because Hyde knew he needs Jekyll in order to hide, and Jekyll wasn't exactly overjoyed to give up the fun he had every time he turned into Hyde. Plus in the book, they were never truly separate. Yes, Hyde was Jekyll's dark side, but Jekyll himself recognised that Edward's traits are indeed his own traits, and that Edward's desires are his own too. They were truly the same, the only difference was that Jekyll hid the monster inside of him, whereas Hyde embraced it.
@@monochromedream-eatingbaku Yup, literally all the formula did was transform his body, which allowed him to (fully consciously) act on all his base urges without fear of repercussions. Think of it like an evil secret identity :D
@@gobalbucs Yeah! I wasn't sure if that was the author's intent though, so I wrote my comment still talking about them more or less as at least semi-separate entities. I too think that it just transformed his body though. Not sure if he meant it that way, all I know about the guy is that he allegedly wrote the story after his friend(?) raped someone.
I'm waiting for a time when I'm home alone so that i can just belt this song and act it out without my family thinking theres something wrong with me...
*Inside Jekyll's mind during Confrontation* Henry: Wait, if I'm fighting you, and you're fighting me... Edward: .... then who the bloody hell is controlling the body? *Henry Jekyll's body is just running into the wall over and over*
Random Passer-By: *points at Henry/Jekyll* "uhhh, is he okay? He's talking to himself and constantly running into the wall. Ouch." * the fight gets worst, yelling and all * "oh, gosh. He ran into the wall the wall that time. Damn, that must hurt"
"And I know that, now and forever, they'll be able to separate Jekyll from Hyde!" You know what? Hyde's completely right. How many times have you EVER heard anyone refer to Jekyll or Hyde without the other in the same sentence?
Michelle Muir Omg they did it in Spanish?😍 I love what rich schools do with their money Edit: Never mind, they just reuploaded the whole thing with Spanish subtitles :(
I see it that way too, like Jekyll thinks he's in charge of the conversation at the beginning but Hyde slowly takes that until at the end when Jekyll finally tells Hyde off. It's really neat
This keeps popping back up in my notifications, but, seriously, this song is the point at which Jekyll has lost his battle.It's also my favourite piece to perform.
There are a lot of jokes on the Internet like"You're not yourself when you're hungry" or "There was a party yesterday and now I have a package from e-bay. I wonder what the drunk me has bought for sober me." But when you think of it, giving a different face to your negative traits is a very dangerous temptation. "It wasn't me," "I wasn't myself". Imagine yourself following this line of thought. There are even interpretations of the original story that state that Hyde never really existed - that all the formula did was give Jekyll a different face, allowing him to indulge his darker side without consequences.
wow... that's pretty dark tp think about. You give in to your temtations and simply slap a silly line to avois the consiquenses.... damn...that's got me thinking.
Fun fact: the original idea, the thought from which the original book came from, was from a nightmare, things that were part of the author´s life ever since he was very, very young. When his wife woke him up from said nightmare, he was annoyed and told her: "Why did you wake me up? I was dreaming a sweet horror tale!".
"Take all your evil deeds and rot in hell!" "I'll see you there, Jekyll" Holy shit what a god tier ending line, gotta save that for any future arguments
It's interesting that Jekyll never compares "good man" and "bad man," correcting to "mad man" or stopping entirely before he finishes the phrase. It says a lot about him.
+Emily Hill (Asamina) I was *SERIOUSLY* obsessed with this song for over a year.... Singing it to myself as I was walking to school... Listening to it pretty much all the time etc... I was even trying to learn the german version (I had german as a foreign language in school)
+Kobirita OHMYGOSH WHAT!!!! There's a German version?!?! *squeeee* I have to look that up, ermergersh! *flails* I wonder how many languages they have it in and how good they are!!!
Funny how nearly every adaptation of Jekyll & Hyde has forgotten that in the original book, Jekyll liked being Hyde and willingly let himself get subsumed by Hyde. The story was initially a metaphor for the addictiveness of letting go of society's rules and moral standards and letting your own hidden impulses run loose.
I love this mans voice and his ability to manipulate his tone from pleading to course/malicious on a dime, flawless. Gives me chills just imagining how much practice that went into perfecting that switching of vocals.
It's interesting how the story has drifted so much considering the original story was a mystery novel. They aren't revealed to be the same person til the end. Essentially, Jekyll and Hyde were the same person, but Jekyll was using a potion to turn into Hyde so he could let loose on his scruples because Victorian's were repressed as sh*t. Jekyll was an upstanding citizen and Hyde could be as dastardly as he wanted, but soon enough it went too far, and after tying to go cold turkey on the potion, Jekyll decides one time couldn't hurt and immediately murders an old man as Hyde. He then goes cold turkey again, but starts changing at random times, going to bed as Jekyll and waking up as Hyde. He locks himself in his lab tying to recreate the potion, but it doesn't work. The POV character (whose name I forgot and isn't all that important to the story) goes to Jekyll's house because his servants aren't hearing Jekyll's voice; they're hearing Hyde's. The POV character bursts into the room just as Jekyll/Hyde decides to off himself leaving a letter that explains everything.
@@possums154 Yes, he´s the main character, but not more than a spectator. He is meant to be the point of view so the mistery of Jekyll can be kept until the very end, which was the plot twist that pop culture ruined. I wonder if people in eastern cultures could read this and actually be surprised, since I´m pretty sure most of countries there don´t teach western literature...
@@tarniabook3076 I'm French so from a Western culture and I knew Hyde and Jekyll were the same person way before reading the book so even in Western culture you're spoiled before reading the book, same as the Darth Vador plot twist which only surprised people the first time it was seen.
Hauke Wendt Hauke! Thanks man :) Got some things in the works for this - I love this and it was even recommended by Rick to try it out, so I can't wait to do it and share it :)
Caleb Hyles Sure will Caleb, by the way, you Introduced me to My Little Pony with that This Day Aria cover you did... I watched the whole thing in a single week... and the show led me to This song (through that animatic thing they did with Pinkie Pie and Pinkamena)... and here you are again... that's fun By the way... my real name isn't Caleb, unlike yours :/
Caleb Rosengard Hahaha! That's a crazy coincidence :P It is a really good show. I just need to sit down and watch the whole thing lol Did you see my cover of this song, btw??
I’m doing this play at my school where I am Hyde and my twin brother is Jekyll this is my favorite song in the show and it is going to be so damn fun going all out for this show!
me: *awkwardly singing/acting out both parts to yourself because no one else would* mom: *walks in* What are you...? me: All that you are is a face in a mirror I close my eyes and you disappear! *in darker demonic voice* I'm what you face when you face in the- Mom??
I've grown quite obsessed with this song. XD The story of Jekyll and Hyde really pulls at my heartstrings because the thought of a man trapped and forced to be evil by an entity inside is just saddening. You can hear the desperation in Jekyll's voice as Hyde gradually increases control there.
It makes you wonder: are we all our own Jekyll and Hyde? We act one way around our families and friends but we act completely different around others. So in a way we are all Jekyll and Hyde and sometimes our Hydes become our Jekyll so we can never tell the difference
Yas ty the story and voices, the diaolage of tragedy that has you resisting as you feel the pain of Jekyll and evil from Hyde as they dance together in this tale.
I find it funny when Jekyll says the good that I had meant. In the original book Hyde wasn’t some other personality it was a secret identity taken by jeykll to be able to indulge in darker pleasures like crime because jeykll was a pillar of the community and needed an outlet so he created a chemical that changed his appearance. Kinda like a reverse superhero.
I get to perform this piece in an audition for my High School Drama Department. The instructor, just my luck, loves this musical more than her own family, so I'm dead if I screw it up. Wish me luck!
@@dmitridobkin5702 Break a leg! This audition landed my role as the lead, go in with confidence and you'll do great. Be sure to emphasize the change in character between Jekyll and Hyde, unless it's a musical you're auditioning for, they'll realistically be looking at your acting more than your singing.
Damn, in “Alive” and this song (idk if there are others like this), Hyde is just the best at holding those dramatic notes. And this is mostly why I keep listening to the songs.
"They'll never be able to separate Jekyll from Hyde" that line and the emotion they added into this musical and really all songs it gives me chills! I really like this cover due to the large amount of yelling and action. I also really like Alive.
i imagine a man singing this into a mirror, and then his reflection starting to sing back before finally breaking out of the mirror to symbolize Hydes break from Jekyll, and Jekyll's splintered psyche
Reminds to so many heroes and villains: 1. Two-Face (Batman) 2. The Doctor and the Valeyard (Doctor Who) 3. Tim Drake and the new Joker (Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker) 4. Curt Conners and the Lizard (Spider-man) 5. Michael and Trickster (Brainscan)
musicals have a need to be super hella over dramatized. its simply just how musicals are meant to be that Hyde was shown as hella evil. though even in the musical Jekyll wasn’t all that good truthfully despite his intent.
Well that doesn't really makes sense, isn't the whole point of this is Jekyll created some sort of serum that separated the good and evil of a man (except it went horribly wrong), how does the story work if the plot was Hyde wasnt completely evil
Suki ???? As someone who studied the book for GCSEs the point the book was trying to make was that everyone had inner demons that can’t be tamed, some people just hide it better than others, however it’s actually funny that the book was basically mocking the upper classes for thinking high and mighty when most “gentlemen” would be seen around bad areas like Soho to sleep with others and maybe even murder, as an escape from all the rules and etiquette of Victorian society.
*+The Mighty Tree* Actually Christians can appreciate this story as a cautionary tale of when man tries to play God and separate himself from his sin nature.
3:15 this part is so great for so many ways. 1) the orchestration of this play as a whole is awesome, but the way the strings rise as Hyde's motives and arguments seem to rise is so symbolic 2) the actor is absolutely phenomenal and his voice and development of the character is about my favorite thing I've ever heard 3) Hyde is aware he's already won. The moment Jekyll took the serum Hyde won. It's similar to developing DID; no matter what you do you can't get rid of it. 4) the line "I'll live inside you forever" is so haunting. It's true. Even if Jekyll could 'kill' Hyde without killing himself, the aspects of Hyde that were brought out with the potion will never disappear, even if the traits dissolve back into Jekyll's personality the traits that Hyde shows will always haunt Jekyll, no matter how much he tries to bury them away.
1: can't help but notice that Stan Lee took inspiration from this play for Venom. 2: I don't know who sings the part of Hyde in this particular version but Gods DAMN I can feel the emotion and conviction in his voice. Top marks.
Jayne Shields I'm drunk, lazy and trying to sing along to this thing, so forgive the obscurity of my first response. :p ...There are words on the lyrics screen that are added that the dude doesn't say and there are words he does say but aren't on the lyrics screen. At least they gave it a better shot than most and got the timing right. x3
"With Satan himself by my side" "[Go to hell]" "I'll see you there" Satan gave Adam and Eve the fruit of knowledge and free will. The formula gives the drinker the opportunity to exercise their darkest thoughts... Free will without consequences. Hyde's calling Jekyll 'Satan'. He made him who he was and now wants to punish him for it. You made me who I am. Yet you say I'M worse than you.
Four years late but ye I actually had this book idea about two partners who try to solve a murder about person A's family Spoiler: person B is the one who killed them but here's the twist person b doesn't know and doesn't realize he's making things worse for himself by continuing his experiment to make humans smarter ( he somehow makes an eviler mastermind personality of himself who kills people because WORLD DOMINATION ) Eventually he does find out and has this kind of fight Planning on discontinuing it because I literally only started learning how to write a book and because this is the first story I ever made ( I was 7 years old )
So when do they argue over brunch? This is not a diet my friend! And it will never end! The buffet that goes on! All that you are is an urge in a mirror! I eat egg salad and you disappear!
David fucking Hasselhoff. We talked about Jekyll and Hyde in school, and our teacher let us listen to this long before we watched the entire show with D. H. I was embarrassed for him and furious about this casting through and through, it was so terrible, *especially* confrontation! Fuck me, if you need to throw your hair in your face, make weird movements with your fingers, switch sides *and* change the lights to portray whether you are Jekyll our Hyde, you are not singing the song right. Man it's been years but I'm still so resentful, I didn't even realize... And I'm German, so apparently I'm supposed to love this man (biggest cliche bs ever, btw, I know noone who actually likes him), but watching this I just felt tempted to off the Hoff.
If Jekyll was female and Hyde was still a guy, I can imagine that, as he sings that part starting with " I live inside you forever..." with Jekyll, Hyde forces the female Jekyll into a little passion dance.
When I first heard about this story, I actually thought Hyde was the good one and Jekyll was the bad one, it's still kind of hard for me to keep them straight...
please, the CHILLS i had when hearing the lines, "do you think that i would ever let you go?" i've never wanted to scream lyrics more in my ENTIRE 16 YEARS
God I love this song! This shows the desperation and struggle within Jekyll and it almost sound like Jekyll will never defeat Hyde since how do you get rid of your own self, sure it's a darker part of yourself yet it's still you.
Desiderio Díaz Canseco Well he seemed to find a permanent solution in the story. The real question is if you could do the same if you had a Hyde in your soul.
@@weirdmusickid6953 Funny you should comment that after I've come back to this musical XD I'm glad people are still enjoying it. Unless things have changed, there's a recording of the play's performance here on youtube.
Me, reading the book: "Oh, such a good horror tale about the duality of mankind!". Me, listening to this musical and realizing Hyde could fit my creative side, the one that doesn´t want any responsabilities and acts extremly oddly at times thanks to my bipolar disorder: "NO NO NO NO! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING FUN, NOT RELATING TO THIS!".
"Deep inside. I am you. You are Hyde." Is a very interesting line, so some interpreters of the story believe that Hyde is not a demon or some evil conjured by a failed experiment, but the true personality of Henry Jekyll, hidden behind a facade of a mild mannered doctor. Hyde is the true nature and all the perverse and twisted desires already existing within the Doctor, only brought to the surface in an alter ego, known as Edward Hyde. In short, Edward Hyde is the truth, Henry Jekyll is the façade.
I actually found this through Bring On The Men, and the musical was *nothing* like I had expected. Though, this is now one of if not the best musical I've ever listened to
Everyone has a darker side that we try to control. In this case Jekyll tried to free himself from his negative impulses, but instead they manifested themselves into the psychotic Mr. Hyde. I say when you lock the beast in a room then the beast will keep clawing and pounding on the door of your mind until it breaks loose. Therefore make peace with it and let it out once in a while. Not to say that Jekyll should go on a killing spree when he gets pissed off, but let your anger out once in a while and do something productive with it.. No good comes from keeping it bottled up inside.
02:49 Jekyll "Soon you will die and my memory will hide you! You Cannot choose but to lose control!" Hyde "You can´t contr... wait "My memory will Hide you". Oh i see what you did there Jekyll"
This hurts my vocals every time I listen to this. Just imagine singing both parts with different voices and changes fast. Dude doesn’t have a chance to breath
This is my first time hearing this song (though I did read the book for Uni four years ago). I love the exchange here when Jekyll says he’ll rejoice when Hyde breathes his last breath with Hyde immediately replying that he’ll live inside him forever. This has probs already been pointed out by loads before me but I love this exchange because initially one might think that Hyde is just trying to taunt Jekyll saying that he can’t die when really he’s saying that Jekyll rejoicing at someone else’s death, even if it’s Hyde’s, is an inherently evil and revulsive act and that really Hyde will still continue to be a part of Jekyll, not because he is a parasite clinging to him, but because by taking pleasure in death and violence he is and has always been and always will be the evil he finds Hyde represents.
Y'know Hyde's kinda right, like, Jekyll IS Mr. Hyde... I had a philosophy prof talking about this and the author's original intention I'm pretty sure was that "Mr. Hyde" was just Jekyll's invented way of coping with the actions that were not befitting of a Victorian sort of gentleman... But then the story got adapted and people changed it to be more like Jekyll actually does transform into a totally different person which y'know, totally changes the situation in terms of how his mind works and the morality of what is going on and everything...
yeah. through what i read in english class, i'd say that hyde is just jekyll's suppressed emotions as he tries to live as a victorian gentleman. for some people, like mr utterson, they can cope with it well and don't have a problem with the suppression, however jekyll struggles. that's why at first jekyll enjoys being hyde until he realises that he is becoming hyde, and the evil is too hard to control
