*giggle* An 'instrument of pleasure'.... 'A treasure house of passion and delight'
The very important metaphor is not-so-subtle with these lyrics. I'm glad they altered it, but I like the Angel of Music and What Has Time Done to Me better than the modern ones. All I Ask of You was really good, too.
But this. I'm not sure whether t laugh or gape at the 80s ness of it all. :D
Indeed! I can't listen to the Toronto recording without imagining him singing "You will curse the day you did not do all that JEAN VALJEAN asked of you!"
I really like all lyrics changes I hear made to this song. Yes, even the ones that are kind of disturbing, because each shows a different side of him.
I will Admit, there was something about this Performance that really bothered me... Meaning Colm in Particular, I really dunno what it was, but it just really bothered & Annoyed me... That was until i heard more of the Other Phantom Songs Colm did... Hell, it might have been the Original Lyrics to MOTN that did it, other than that, I really dunno
You go ValJean!

Why does Colm Wilkinson's voice sound different here than he does in his other works?

That's because it's too hard to shake someone who's famous for playing Jean Valjean as the Phantom.

Colm Wilikinson isn't my favourite Phantom, I prefer Michael Crawford by far...but I do like Colm the best as Jean Valjean in Les Mis.

Haha that would be Colm doing his Colm thing where he sings with pursed lips and a ton of breath.

@philipericbennett Listen again. He's saying "Muzak of the night." Why he's saying that is a mystery.

@tangocorte cuz he's irish, and his accents comes through sometimes when he sings?
