Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Wade Jeremy thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
It went from a villain's song to a haunting farewell to one's homeland. Unable to live there any longer loving it despite all its flaws. Reminds me of when i left California.
I love how they incorporated the In the Dark of the Night tune for the "villain" of the show. I was so thrilled to hear that melody make it's way into the show :D
Genesis Adelia I saw the show too. But there were some actor changes for that representation. Gleb was actually played by Constantine Germanacos, who is singing here :-). (And that's quite a change, because he normally plays two counts and Tsar Nicholas II, quite the opposite of Gleb).
Even though it's actually not the villain, this is right before Anya/Dmitry/Vlad board the train to France with other aristocrats who are no longer safe in Russia as the communist soldiers are killing off the last of anyone who benefitted from the monarchy. Everyone boarding the train can never go back to Russia, which is the parallel from the movie train scene and that's why the director's used that tune. Also, the reason they jump off the train in the play is because the communist soldiers are looking for them, not a mythical sorcerer trying to kill Anya
As a descendent of a person who had to flee Germany, this song hits hard. My family has always still kept our homeland with us, and I plan on moving back.
This so emotional, being part russian, and that my Russian ancestors had to leave Russia for their safety due to opposing the communist party, this really moves me as Russia is a part of me.
It's so hard hearing this song in times of crisis when so many people has leave their Homeland (my country) in order to be able to keep their studies or not be murdered.
This is giving me flashbacks to the end of fiddler on the roof, as we all sang 'Anatevka' and mournfully left the stage, I almost actually cried. This song is making me feel the same way as I did when I left the stage as yente for the last time closing night.
It's making me feel like at the end of Jesus Christ Superstar, where we had to sing Jesus's Crucifixion and then later the instrumental reprise of Poor Jerusalem as He was lowered unto the Virgin Mary's arms. I had tears in my eyes and at the end, when all the characters left the stage leaving Jesus and Mary in a recreation of La Pietà, I had that my character didn't want to leave Jesus's side and had to be pulled away. I really felt that.
kamendeliando at first I was a little upset that they changed the story so much (still upset that they didn't keep the rest of In the Dark of the Night though), until this scene which is a great addition to the whole narrative.
i’ve been sleeping on this musical and i’m doing my hw and listening to the entire soundtrack oh my gosh this song is so beautiful and melancholy and ahhh i love it so much
I just came back from this show on Broadway, without having heard any of the music before hand and rather disappointed that Rasputin was not in it, when this song began and I heard that melody, my heart filled with such joy and it made me so happy even though the song is so sad.
I haven't seen the broadway Anastasia, I really want to. This song really touched me because I can't imagine what the people in Russia went through when they killed the last Royal family, A lot had to leave their origins. I can't imagine if I left my country, I love USA And people today leave their country because of bad situations. Rest In Peace forever Romanov family.
Gotta say, I live in the US, I live in a country that doesn't love me. That being said, I still love my country. I just hate what's happening in America.
I got to see Constantine, the singer for Ipolitov in this, as Gleb in the performance of Anastasia I saw! Such an incredible actor, he sings with so much passion and emotion!
This song doesn't only relate to Russians. Could relate to anyone today- having to flee from their homeland bc their home is no longer safe :/ Refugees from Sudan, Venezuela and many more :/
@@janessadamyan4508 I also see it as any Soviet refugees. My family left Lithuania around WWI. I had an internship where I worked with Former Soviet refugees from the Ukraine and Russia, helping them with any benefits and pensions (most were 70+)
I brought my family to the Toronto showing and my mom cried during this scene. As someone who left her home country, this hit her hard. It's a beautiful song!
I saw Anastasia 2 weeks ago and I loved this song. It reminds me a lot of fiddler on the roof with the music and the emotions. I can't imagine fleeing my country because of my beliefs.
Just saw the play today this was one of my favorite songs in it it was absolutely amazing I was upset at first because I was looking for the dark of the night in the booklet they gave because I'm a big fan of the movie but this really gave me a thrill the play was awesome ❤
i hate how i cannot hate the antagonist because he's just like most sons&daughters out there who have to live up to everyone's expectations and duuude am i the only one who thinks he's inlove with anya????
It makes me think of my great grandmother she was form Ukraine and she had to leave with her siblings and she was only nine I cannot even imagine the terror and emotions she must have felt. :,(
It's the song before they get on the train so they are saying goodbye to Russia. Before the song a Count recognises Anya (I think he bows but no one else in the crowd catches on) he is the one singing the song in the beginning and I think everyone is blacked out except him whilst he's singing on his own. During the song it's very still, if I remember correctly, no one really moves except towards the end where I think they go off in sections leaving Anya alone when she sings the last line. A very moving moment. (This is all from memory and I watched it maybe 2 months ago so I'm sorry if some of it is wrong)
FYI, the actor who plays the count also plays Anya's father. So while the count is a secondary character he's still a pretty solid symbol of Anya's past.
Hannah Mowbray omg gurl i was wrong! i just checked Itunes and bought it immediately, it just wasn't on apple music every time i checked. I'm from Canada btw, thanks for saving the day
