  • Rex took this role and song to a level beyond those who came before or after.

  • I saw the show back in 2004. I was thankful to find this online. Do you have the other numbers too? Like the ones sung by Rachel York and the others by Doug Siles? I've met him a few times. He's really nice and very handsome.

  • nice set!!!

  • I have to say, I have bot seen the show bu I have listened to both and have to say I prefer the original. In this one I expect Chauvelin to go out and spring some fantastic trap and actually catch the Pimpernel (I've read the book so I know that doesn't happen) The original had Chauvelin throwing a strop and I think that worked better

  • I like this... but I am with the others who said Terrence Mann's version was better... he sounds like he wants to just rip his heart out because it hurts for him to feel so much... same with his Falcon in the Dive. That being said, Rex King is a pretty damn cool Chauvelin.

  • I like this version better than Mann's (which I love and have on my iPod). This version has more raw emotion in it than Terrence Mann's. I think I like it more because it has that elusive quality called 'charisma'. This just speaks to me. But I listen to the other one more often.

  • where can I find Mann's version?

  • @Shadowstodreams do u have hotmail messenger? if u like I can send it to u...I have inserted the soundtrack into my itunes and can send it to u via MSN :)

  • Completely agree with mmgrigoire2. Terence Mann's version had sooooo much more passion and anger in it.

  • I agree that it had a bit more bitterness to it, but I like the way Rex Smith presented this one a bit better. I just think this version sounds a little bit more 'upset lover' ish. Anyway, that's just me :)

  • Mixed feelings. I love Rex Smith and i love how he ended the song on that long note,BUT I liked Terrence Mann's version more. It felt like he was more torn and angry at Marguirite. But that is just my opinion. Anyway I love Rex Smith buut this not my favorite version of this song.

  • @mmgringoire2 Mann's live version is not like the recording. Just saying. He rarely did the high note and his diction was slurred and lazy.

  • @mmgringoire2 You mean you like Terrence Mann's cast recording version. His live version was flat and slurred and he opted not to sing the G at the end.

  • ok, terrence mann is much better at this song than rex king...

  • oh... when he says "Let her go, let her live, let her die on her own

    We are all of us bruised and alone" what does he mean? is she captured? and whos "Us"

  • I don't know, I haven't read the book or watched the musical as a whole, but I thought he was just saying to himself 'Give up on trying to win her back, and our lives are so despairing that it batters us and leaves us alone'. If that's any help

  • us is everyone

  • Is there some place where I can download Rex Smith singing these songs?

  • I love how he sings "let her go!" it's such a cool key change :D

  • terrence mann has a better version of this (he was the original chauvelin)...umm, i don't know if you could find a video with his version on it because wmg has just extended its copyright claims on that song...

  • I have a video....He's really bad live. He doesn't go up to the High G at the end. Mann is better on the recording, Rex is better live

  • I quite agree.

  • so whats the meaning of this song?

  • Its is Chauvelins realization that Marguerite will never love him and its basically just him being furious about that

  • Doug looks like Sonny Bono.

    :)

    <3 him!

  • I wish we could see this whole show! I've seen it several times and love it!

  • Hooray for more!! I simply love Rex. That last note is all kinds of fantastic.

    And yes, Doug is Grappin. Or, more like Percy is Grappin.

  • So Percy disguises as Grappin?

  • Yes =]

  • awesome - thanks for posting this what a lovely last note x

  • Is Doug Grapin?

  • yes, doug is grapin.

  • Oh okay, cause he sounded so different. Thanks. More Please! xD
