This song always gives me chills at 3:16 and onward. The lyrics are gorgeous and Steven is just wonderful. The line "Everything's fine, Mom, you can't be afraid!" and the pause he takes... gah! Perfection!
don't you think this warrants mixed emotions as the process is evolving in the character's journey? i think the anger, the fear, the care, is beautifully layered. i'm thankful he's not just playing one action...
I think he did a wonderful job, he is just changing tactics. It is fine to have mixed emotions, especially in this song listen to the lyrics not just the music. I worked on this song with Benj and Justin, and Steven is doing exactly what they wanted of this song.
I love Pasek and Paul's work, and I've known Edges for 4ish years now, but I have to say I like the original words better than the redone words in Edges. These ones aren't bad but the Become words were much better before. I also miss the "not for sale" riff.
I think it's always hard to hear an original version and then the new version. one always likes the first version better, but for me (I've only heard the new version), I think the lyrics are genius. I'm sure they are both great, and whichever one you hear first sticks with you.
I saw this performed by a different actor at the edinburgh festival last year and Oh my!!! he cried and then i cried....it was a big cry fest....hey its emotional on the front row!!
the 2 people who disliked this couldn't hit the A near the end...

The belted A at the end is fantastic. I do, however, agree with stiflethis about the "not for sale" line.
