Spring Awakening Boys (1st National) - A Comet On Its Way - Upright Cabaret

[SingingJesusFreak]

I love love love this song! They should've found a way to have both BOL and this in the show!

[lexiixinxwonderland]

this song is AMAZING

[ThePurplerose6]

GAHHHH, love this song, wished they included it as a bonus on the SA soundtrack, along with "There Once was a Pirate."

I've also noticed how each guy sings something in reference to themselves...<3 Andy Mientus (soooo hot XD) and his air hj, lol, "have you prayed tonight Desdemona?"

[ell0mynameis]

<3 for all these boys x]

[Kylezilla]

Im really sad because Andy Mientus invited me to go to this personally and gave me the address and everything and I couldnt go. Thanks for posting this so I can at least see what I missed!

[tonkslupin103103]

Chase <3 'Stanley Anderson'

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

It's cute the way Blake flares his nostrils when he sings it's adorible but then again he I'd just so adorible

[purple1693]

im kinda obsessed with this song <3

[saphuras1122]

Freaking amazing. -3

[TRASHYgah]

I so want a recorded version!!!

[ohxSNAPxson]

damn. I love boys.

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

Blake is very sexy I met him at American idiot he was there visiting his friends and he came looking for me at one point

[SniffSniffTenorTenor]

God I love this song! Is it Ben singing @ 1:05 - 1:13? I can't really make it out...

[LeahandAnax]

@SniffSniffTenorTenor yep, he's on the far left :)

[allisonwonderrand]

Oh my God. I cannot get over how awesome this is.

[AnneStiefel]

I met Blake he is sweet and cute and flirty

[eightyeightsugarrush]

1:33

i love how ben points to kyle cause thats his part.

[eightyeightsugarrush]

ahsdjhsduasdf i love blake bashoff

[thepassionatepitome]

This is my favourite song that got cut, so I am really excited to find it actually performed!!

[broadwaybabyx827]

I love this song, I cant get it out of head my head! It so catchy! & I love Blake, Kyle & Andy! (really all of them!) :)

[yippedoodah]

I want a sound track of all the demos and deleted songs. Covers by the tour cast would be great too :D

[Moritz015]

@yippedoodah the other demo songs are on youtube to look it up!

[ILiveForTheArts]

kyle and the boys should record this and release it. seriously.

[eightyeightsugarrush]

@ILiveForTheArts mm yes please

[corydslice]

When I hear this song, I have to listen to it like 5 times over. It's ridiculously catchy. And it's so funny watching Andy and Blake next to each other. Blake stands so still and Andy can barely contain himself!

[xoxokimberly1]

@corydslice and then when Blake does move a little it's so awkward. LOL i love him

[ohxSNAPxson]

damn, i love these boys. :)

[andKeira]

I love Kyle's bow tie!!!

[SilentPenumbra]

Anyone know where to get an MP3 of this song? I know its annoying, but I can't find this song anywhere. Its AMAZING.

[LilRippy]

Omg I love this <3 I can't comment on just one of them, they all make me so happy <3

[krispykritterlover]

Ben Moss... your voice is, like, God's gift to the universe! (And I'm not a religious fanatic, it's just an expression) And Andy, what can I say... you complete my world.

[dolphinofdespair]

Great song, and no matter how small the space is, Kyle Riabko rocks out :-D

[lilteddymouse]

It's amazing to watch Andy try to contain his energy.

[MeggieThrash]

Words cannot describe how much I love this video...Ben Moss has the sexiest voice!

[whoamegscool]

Blake = love.

[SierraTHEPirate]

Okay, so my interpretation of the lyrics: "Christ, it's such a whole, like, deal. Nightly to unreel."

Just to make sure that we are on the same page, the song is about masturbation. Which leads me to believe that the word is unreel and not unreal. Seeing these various girls gets them all wound up and they must "unreel".

If you have ever masturbated you know it takes a little effort hence, "it's a whole, like, deal."

At least that's how I understood it...

[vrose90]

I never thought of it that way, but listening to it again i see what you mean, that definitely makes sense.

[taconway]

andy reminds me why i am alive

[RandyMacAfee]

Man, that's good. I just drunk jammed to it, haha.

[xXPureMorningXx]

this is a really really beautiful song :)

[zwappp]

Wendy = Wendla?

[Marold101]

Ben has such a lovely tone to his voice. I luv it .

[zwappp]

Hah, I didn't notice this until now, but at the end Andy like fleeeeeees from the applause. x)

[zwappp]

Dear god YES

Anyone have the lyrics?

[MovingPaperFantasy]

Judi Nathan, Kelly Casson, Sally Timmerman.

Anna Kim, Lucinda Primm, Jill and Jenny Sands.

Good ole Lisa. Christ she seems so Distant, and so sad.

Then there's Wendy- Somehow, with me, Doesn't matter where I am.

Hip Pre-Teens, Out in their jeans. Zippered in their bods.

From the back- Man, that ass. And that little slip of bra.

O, my hands Adjust my pants, In the auditorium.

Down the hall, Into the stalls, Where my fingers are all thumbs.

[MovingPaperFantasy]

Chorus: Christ, such a whole, like, deal. Nightly. Too unreal. Holding you- you nowhere near me. And I mean, holding, holding. Through the darkness comes the laughter. All the starts bend over sideways. Oh my darlin, there's a heaven. Such a comet on its way.

Suzi Maler. Heather Taylor. Stanley Anderson.

Paula White. Barbara Leight. Patti Emelson.

[MrsAngelaPascal]

I love how much Andy gets into performing. I couldn't take my eyes off of him throughout the entire video.

And I love this song. If Spring Awakening has a movie or a revival I would love it if this song makes its way in it somehow.

[lilteddymouse]

They ARE making a movie...

[IWillBeHers]

I...I can't see Perry's beautiful face...but he sounds great!

[NeevsBroadway]

Blake is a god among men.

That is all.

[skiingchicka918]

this was so great

i love alll of them

hahaha andy is so funny he gets so into it

[ActingStarr14]

I love Ben's voice. They are all so incredible!

[xxjuicyylicioussxx]

This is great! And yes, the tour cast should definitely record!

[Cheynna33]

I really wish that the touring cast would make an SA soundtrack album. It would be freaking epic. =)

[myjunk636lavieboheme]

oh i totally agree...they're my favorite cast! shhh...don't tell the guilty ones! ;-)

[Cheynna33]

One of the only times that Blake does something in public besides hiding or singing "Don't Do Sadness". He needs to stop being shy! =)

Andy gets into it the most. He's so awesome!

[Marold101]

I wish there was a way that they could have just sneaked this into the musical.

[jumpinprep]

LOVE.

that's really all i can say about this. There are no other words to describe it.

[fueledbyangela]

I'd just like to say that this cast is perfection. That is all.

[Marold101]

After seeing this video, I've had this song stuck in my head for days. But it's okay, because the tour cast makes it sound amazing.

[IWillBeHers]

Aww, Blake's so camera-shy! Like, everyone else is totally rocking out and Blake's just standing there like "eeep".

[lunabear92]

They make this song sound amazing. I really think the touring cast should make a recording. Besides the fact that they are basically perfection, there have been lyric changes and they are so different from a lot of the originals, but still incredible. But they should also record some of the other cut songs, because when sung well, they are really lovely. Like this, for example. I know I'd buy it...

[IWillBeHers]

Oh, I know! If the tour cast made an album, I'd be first in line to buy it. And then I'd listen to it for HOURS on end (days!).

[stmrocks5]

I completely agree, I really want them to make a recording! They are so talented, and if they recorded this song it would be much easier than having to go onto youtube everytime I want to hear it...

[cannibalcake2]

3:02 <3

Andy gets so into it, and it's so cute!

[jastully]

this is amazing...wow

[jastully]

im still listening to this, a day later. haha. its AMAZING!

[IWillBeHers]

I love Chase's face RIGHT after he sings "Stanley Anderson" (why does he get the shortest solo?!?). So cute!

[rozanund133]

is it possible to download an mp3 of this?

[TrippleLProductions]

If you search for 'comet on its way' on myspace music there is one

x

[rozanund133]

of this arrangement? and can i get something from myspace on my ipod?

[TrippleLProductions]

yep, its this exact version :)

[rozanund133]

but how do i make it an mp3?

[safillevendredi]

There are programs that you can use to download embedded media, including videos on YouTube. I use the Download Helper extension for Firefox, and then convert that to an mp3 using a (free) program called Super.

[rozanund133]

what about for a mac?

[IWillBeHers]

Anyone else think Blake is supersexy in this? Like how he keeps looking away?

[ejhh123456]

he does that a lot i've noticed...

[IWillBeHers]

The official lyrics are:

"Christ, such whole, like deals/Nightly too unreal..."

(Duncan Sheik's demo further clarifies this)

[abxy321]

Ya, I listened to the demo at least 4 times trying to really clarify it and I for sure agree. Now, if someone could just clarify what that is supposed to mean, then I'd be golden. lol

[IWillBeHers]

I'm not entirely sure. "Nightly, too unreal" to me says, perhaps, that every night they think about these girls (such as Moritz and his dreams about the "dark, horrible phantasm"). "Christ, such whole, like, deals" is a bit harder to decipher. Whatever the meaning, I still love the song! They should've kept this AND Bitch of Living. And kept There Once Was A Pirate in place of Guilty Ones, and moved Guilty Ones in place of Whispering. I'm not that fond of Whispering, and Guilty Ones works more.

[scarrrrred]

oh my god. just read this and found it quite funny but thaen i thought. good idea. i disliked whispering since i've heard it the first time.

i like your idea of changing sa :D

but i would be grateful if someone could interprete the lyrics of this for me. my enlish is far too bad for this.

[ejhh123456]

i love whispering! i'm glad they kept it...but There Once Was a Pirate and A Comet on it's Way are GENIUS. i wouldn't have minded at all if the show was two songs longer... haha =]

[scarrrrred]

that's so true. SA is a very short musical.

just thought the whole day where to put a comet on its way.

[ScottZaborski]

....no!

[Doinka]

Whispering is all about Wendla being pregnant, and realizing what that will mean for her. You can't put Guilty Ones in place of Whispering because then you lose the whole idea of her dealing with her pregnancy. It would totally change her character if you lost Whispering.

[ScottZaborski]

so this is my interpertation: So the comet on its way is an orgasm thats going to explode out of the penis. If you think of it like that the song makes lots of sense. Christ dealt (like a card game) these feelings to them and each night it becomes to unreal because they get lost in there fantasies...anyone agree?

[hawkthewalk]

all sa's lyrics are fragmented and weird like that.

i think it's something about the stunted, vague way teenagers express themselves. struggling to communicate you know.

[ejhh123456]

i just made this connection

blake sings about LISA who's so distant and so sad.... which is kind of like ILSE

and kyle sings about WENDY who's always with him... which is kind of like WENDLA....

even the names wendla/wendy and lisa/ilse are similar...it's like their reincarnated selves in modern times singing about the same people, because they're meant to be together in every "life"...or something...

am i analyzing this too much? does anyone get what i'm saying?

or am i just crazy? haha =]

[scarrrrred]

i like it.

[hawkthewalk]

no i think you're right

[ejhh123456]

this would be KICKASS  as a bonus track!!

[fitmenfreak]

AAAAH.

This song is one of my favourite things, period.

I LOVE IT <333

[vrose90]

1:22-1:24 i can not figure out what they are saying! But i love the song, wish they would've kept it in the musical.

[fitmenfreak]

I THINK it's Christ, such a whole, like, deal

But I'm not sure, just what it sounds like to me

:)

[vrose90]

That's what it sounds like but that doesn't make much sense...i guess it sort of does.

[fitmenfreak]

You're right, it is a bit weird. But it seems more plausible than "cry such whole like deals" which is what I've found elsewhere.

[xxFelineOfAvenueBxx]

OMG! VIVI!

[abxy321]

"Christ, such a whole ideal"

another possibility?? lol.

[abxy321]

Then again listening to the Duncan Sheik demo of it, the lyric really does sound like its "Christ, such a whole like deal."

[xwhaddafxckup]

I think they're saying "whole like deals" like all people who are similar to them are just dealing with the problem? idk that's the only thing that seems to make sense

[njakillersfan94]

love this song... and the tour cast.

[xxFelineOfAvenueBxx]

This might sound a little weird...

but if someone changed the girls names to guys names and took out the part about the little slip of bra this would TOTALLY be my life...and I'm a girl...

[Rider325haylez]

same!

I completly know what what you mean

[Rider325haylez]

They should have recorded this as a bonus track or something on the cd.

Andy mientus makes me laugh!

[rozanund133]

i wish they kept this in!

[IWillBeHers]

Andy and that mike stand. He loves to like, caress the mike stands when they perform like this. (Blake looks like he's trying to move away from Andy!)

[cannibalcake2]

I love how Andy is rocking out. It's so cute!

He's my favorite Hanschen.

I just want to hug him.

[IWillBeHers]

You guys were amazing today! (well, I didn't see Chase, but the others were amazing!) I about fainted when they came out.

[IWillBeHers]

Can't stop staring at Ben, Blake, and Andy!

[IWillBeHers]

And now I can't stop watching this!

[IWillBeHers]

Blake sounds amazing here, too. So amazing.

[bwayfan418]

Andy freaking Mientus! I love watching him rock out. He's such a great performer!

I'm super sad you can barely see Perry in this, but he sounds great!

These boys...they make the world a better place one performance at a time

[ZebraRamen]

Whoo! 8000th veiw!

Anyways, I love this song! They performed it so well~

They replaced this song with "Bitch of Living" in the cast recording..

[kite333]

Wow, this is from the original concept! Totally amazing!

[jumpinprep]

Love this song. And blake is adorable, so is kyle.

[kensielynn]

i'm responsible for probably one hundred views on this video. i can't get enough! (:

[flipnanonano]

i know exactly what you mean! this is great!

[cheerleader5293]

Really? I'm responsible for like 300! haha. I just can't get enough of these wonderful boys, and this wonderful song!

[IWillBeHers]

Ben Mossssss! :-)

Blake, OMG. So hot.

[allshallknow1]

is it just me or is Blake insanely hot in this video

[ohxSNAPxson]

no. def. not just you. Blake is RIDICULOUSLY hot in this video. ha.

[nannaboo96]

i tried to click thumbs up several hundred times, but it only allowed me once.

insane is correct..

even more insane in person too

[allshallknow1]

haha !!! usually i am in love with Ben and Andy the most but Blake just stands out in this video. probably because all the other guys are rocking out which is cute but Blake has this stillness thats attractive as hellll :]

p.s. i love kyles bowtie.

[booksandmusic09]

I love Blake and his facial exprestion

[ohxSNAPxson]

they. own.

[jennypete2010]

what is this song?

like.....i'm OBSESSED with it, but i've NEVER heard it before

[monorailblue]

It was the equivalent of "The Bitch of Living" during the Spring Awakening workshop days.

[booksandmusic09]

I love the refrain!!!. Beautiful harmanies!!!!

[volleygurl311]

i LOVE this song, record and put on itunes PLEASE!

[booksandmusic09]

I love the SA Boys

[NeevsBroadway]

My favorite part of the whole song is when Blake sings "good old Lisa, Christ she seems so..etc". I don't know why I think it's a combination of his amazingness and Kyle on guitar but it gets me everytime.

Beautiful.

[ScottZaborski]

I cant say how happy i am right now....this is......amazing....ok idea they need to make a tour recording and put this on :)

[musicalbwayfreak]

I freaking love this song!=}

[murmurtheblues]

Andy is such a rockstar, Ben is adorable, and Matt is just Matt.

[TheNewLeo]

Iiiiii love this song.

[rorygilmo5]

I love Andy's little hand motion.

[bwayfan418]

SA boys. God I love them.

[magicaljane]

AHHHHH!!!!! LOVE IT!!!! :)

[cobaltink]

Christ, such a whole, like, deal

Nightly to unreal

Holding you; you're nowhere near me

And I mean holding, holding

Through the darkness comes the laughter,

All the stars bend over sideways

Oh, my darling, there's a heaven

Such a comet on its way

(And repeat and et cetera.)

[SporksAreAwesome]

Christ, such a whole, like, deal

Nightly to unreal

Holding you; you're nowhere near me

And I mean holding, holding

Through the darkness comes the laughter,

All the stars bend over sideways

Oh, my darling, there's a heaven

Such a comet on its way

[SporksAreAwesome]

Hip preteens, out in their jeans,

Zippered in the bods

From the back,

Man, that ass

And that little slip of bra

Oh, my hands adjust my pants

In the auditorium

Down the halls

Into the stalls

Where my fingers are all thumbs

[SporksAreAwesome]

Judy Nathan, Kelly Casson, Sally Timmerman

Anna Kim, Lucinda Prim, Jill and Jenny Sands

Good ol' Lisa

Christ, she seems so

Distant and so sad

Then there's Wendy

Somehow with me

Doesn't matter where I am

[jkuhne88]

[austenlovingactress]
