I love michael pitt's voice & I would REALLY like to hear him sing this song for real, but I'd also like to keep him tied up to my bed, lol

@MsStormcrow Stephen Trask is actually the one who did all of the singing for Tommy. Maybe there is a video somewhere on here of him singing it live.

is that Michael Pitt's Voice?

[hedwiglover13]

No it's Steven Trask's voice.

When I heard " 'Cause with all the changes you've been through, it seems the stranger's always you." I had this sort of self-realization moment and started crying. It's incredibly rare for me to hear a song that invokes that in me.

I think that's what makes this movie so good. There's at least one part of the story, maybe a verse or two in one of the songs that everyone can relate to in some way.

Beautiful movie, and this is my new favorite song of all time.

I am a huge fan of this movie. I do not connect with it as a between genders issue, but much deeper for me. I am a Native American. I was the only one in my family as I had a different father, that I have no idea about. I truly tried to fit in and be white my whole life, but having the wrong skin tone did not help me. It wasn't until eleven years ago, when i was thirty years old, or so, that I decided to accept the fact that i am in fact Ojibwe and there is nothing wrong with that.

The first time I saw Hedwig I was really offended because I thought it was making fun of heteros, but I gave it a chance and watched it anyway. I went from really offended to totally amazed! This movie actually had me crying at the end, because even though I am a straight male, I know how horrible it is to feel incomplete, like some part of yourself is missing. This scene, and the following where Hedwig's tattoo becomes whole, was what really got to me!

I love a happy ending!

Hedwig forever!

I agree with everyone who says that you can relate to this movie no matter who you are. I'm a straight female and I feel like this is such a deep movie for me. I think everyone can relate to how Hedwig feels, obviously not certain situations but the way she feels and just the kind of journey of wanting to kind of "fit in". This is one of my favourite movies of all time and originally only watched it because of Michael Pitt and had no idea what to expect.

I know he sings so wonder why he didn't.

@TiramisuHappy Thanks Tiramisu. I agree with you. I'm a straight female too, but can relate to this song / situation feeling. It doesn't seem to matter / straight or gay / male or female / this scene evokes strong feelings in everyone. Everyone seems to cry at this scene. It's amazing.

Beautifully put!! :)

This "alter ego" sequence of the film can be interpreted in many ways to many different people if you think about it. It's almost philosophical. I'm married. I'm straight. I'm Asian. And I'm MUCH older than these characters in the film. But this scene always gets the waterworks going for me without fail.

Stephen Trask wrote ALL the songs on the soundtrack, btw. What a talented singer songwriter he is!! :)

This part of the movie I totally lose it.

The Tommy's version of the song hits the mark when it came to Hedwig finally understanding reality as it is, not his roundabout approach to his situation in the story. Sometimes you can't blame all the things in life, you just have to go thru it and move on just like Tommy. This movie when I first saw it spoke volumes to me as well as many others. Excellent storyline, music and movie. A Top Five in my Book..

@switchbladejane This song and this scene in particular always makes me cry. I feel that in this scene he's face to face with who he thought was his other half. He's saying his final goodbye....he then becomes whole because he realizes his "other half" was within himself and all he needed all along was himself. Just my view of the scene.

[saabage]

Hedwid is BOTH wholes..thats the idea...

@MsStormcrow REally?

[saabage]

yes it is...
