@OhNotFunny I found out about this song through a Superboy AMV. I was trying to figure out if they were actually referencing the heroes (talk about fandom hopping), or if it was just chance they picked those names.
they just did this at my school talent show and they were BRILLIANT!!!!!! i almost want to say that the kid who played Gabe was better than this kid. it was seriously amazing! but i still love this a ton!!!!
Does anyone else realize Gabe's full name is Gabriele? And at the end of the show he contents to watch over and protect them. Kinda like a guardian angel? Reminds me of a specific angel I've heard of. GABRIELLE. idk. just kind of blew my mind.
I used to feel like this about my brother. It always seemed like my parents listened to everything he had to say, but my opinions were sort of blocked out. Things are better with us now, but every now and then I remember how things used to be, and the old feelings of being unheard creep in.
Saw this show live today... it was great! Natalie is my favorite character because I relate to her... One of my parents (in this case my father) struggles from a mental illness (depression) so I get what Natalie is going through
This song explains my life IN SO MANY WAYS it's crazy. Ever since my friend Dylan showed me this I can't get over how amazing next to normal is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i saw this in new york last week!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! i kinda wish i had been able to see all of the original cast... but it was still absolutely amazing!!!!!!! new favorite musical!!!!!
Love this song- desperate to see it- come to England!!! Could there just be a massive trans-atlantic migration please- Next to Normal, Idina Menzel, Julia Murney- actually the entire original Rent cast would be nice! Or just New York City....
I tried to convince my brother to sing this song with my for my senior solo but he wouldn't do it because he's a bass and can't sing Gabe's part. It killed me a little inside.
I know what you're talking about and he actual did play the role of Dan for when they had Next To Normal playing at the festival for plays that could make it to Broadway but he turned down the option to come back to play Dan to play Shrek instead. Bigggg mistake if you ask me lol.
i can't stop listening to this song! just amazing! the voices in this song blend so well. i might get to see this show when i go to new york this winter! i'm so excited!
Samantha, and Kathleen: I know many people who loved it, so ....I personally thought it was one of the worst things I've ever seen on Broadway. If you want to see a real show, see South Pacific (in my opinion). LOL. This was a mess. And I'm someone who can't stop listening to the music from 'Next to Normal.' I love the music. But as a musical, it just doesn't work. Didn't like ALice Ripley at all.
Lhernandez111, I was just wondering why you think it's so terrible? I notice youve posted these sorts of comments on alot of next to normal videos. I personally love the musical, and would like to know what makes it so bad for you?
you just mean in general right? because alice and aaron don't sing together in this song. yeah she sings in it, but the parts where aaron is singing is with Jennifer Damiano, who plays natalie.
Does anyone know where I can find this version sung by mackenzie mauzy? :)
