Spring Awakening Demo - 12. There Once Was A Pirate

[mewichigo10]

This song gives me shivers.

[senatorssweetheart]

love it! can anyone tell me te chords for it? anyone know how to play it?

[senatorssweetheart]

its good :) can anyone tell me what the chords are for this? i'd like to know how to play it

[OutOfTotalRandomness]

I like the way Leah sang this song

[AliaSparrow]

I love the Guilty Ones, and I understand why this was cut. However, it is incredibly symbolic to the relationship between Melchior and Wendla. Wendla is the innocent madien searching for love, Melchior is the pirate who kept searching for knowledge and answers so much that he unwittingly had people hurt along the way.

[TheDieselD13]

@AliaSparrow wow...good call. i didnt really think about how deep and symbolic it is

[shellshockkked]

I prefer this to Guilty ones. It's more haunting and symbolic (the pirates', the violets the willows)... TGO is more obvious in its meaning.

[omikronescence]

*loves it*

[animagusprincess]

This is excellent. It freaks me out but I love it.

[benjywho]

Love this song, but am getting a bit freaked out by the electronic noises zooming around in the background. Trippy.

[ernieislove]

I really wish they hadn't cut this song. I do understand that many people wouldn't understand it though. But I love it still!

[kyrakyramyra]

It was cut from the play, but its still on the cd... I listen to it all the time.

[GardenOfEros]

What CD do you have?

[magicmike96]

the soundtrack on itunes has it..

[GardenOfEros]

Whoa, thanks. It's not on the physical CD I bought after the show.

[magicmike96]

hmm thats odd?

i wonder why not..?

[Jcthefluteman]

@magicmike96 It was only available on albums downloaded through iTunes.

[Compooky121]

I do not get it? Is it supposed to symbolize Melchior's and Wendla's relationship?

[ernieislove]

Oh. Well, it has to do with their childhood. They used to play pirates and the conflict in the song has to do with what just happened. The song would have been were the Guilty Ones is now.

[GlassFrogProductions]

i think the 1st verse is Melchi and Wendla.

and the 2nd verse is Moritz and Ilse.

idk idk, just me

[lotrfan8]

The 1st is Wendla, the 2nd is Melchior, 3rd is Wendla (then the girls join in), 4th is Melchior and the boys join. The 5th the boys sing (the girls kind of echo). You can find a recording around here from the off-Broadway version.

[CCCHHHLLLOOEEE]

On the chalkboard on the set, with the song list, you see the name of a song crossed out, and I always wanted to know what song had ended with the word "pirate..." hahah. this must be it. I like it.

[monorailblue]

Ooh this song is cool! Thank you for posting.
