The Little Mermaid - On My Own

This is my favorite song from the musical Les Miserables. I never got to see the play but my mom does have the concert on video and one day she was playing it (on full blast may I add) when I got home from class. Ofcourse I was drawn by the music and needed to find out what she was watching. I watched a few of the musical numbers but this one, this particular song sung by Lea Salonge caught my attention. I guess it had something to do with how much feeling and emotion this song had. I instantly fell in love with it and have been listening to it continuously. Since I learned how to make music videos, I wanted to make a Disney music video of this song and thought that the best Disney character for this song would be Ariel because of her admiration for Eric. I had lots of fun making this video and I hope you guys enjoy it. :)

UPDATE: Not that it matters but I was able to see a local production of Les Miserables and it was AMAZING!!!!

Movie: The Little Mermaid
Music: On My Own from Les Miserables (sung by Lea Salonge)

Lyrics:
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend
without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm lonely
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...

@SeikenLegend DOn't feel bad, I was going to say the same thing, lol. Really - somebody should.

No one has that big hair and that small a waist...

[SeikenLegend]

It should be Mulan or Jasmine. Get it? Because Lea Salonga sings for Mulan & Jasmine? OK, that wasn't funny. :(

Well done! :) I think the only criticism I can give (or at least THINK to give, lol) is that perhaps you could have tried to sync the waves crashing at the end a little better with "own." Otherwise, it's very creative, and great job! :) I liked how you used the part where Ariel and Eric are in the boat that shows the fireflies along with the part of the song where she says, "the trees are full of starlight." ;) On a final note, I think you might have a little too much time on your hands! ;) Lol.

For some reason I always thought of Meg rather than Ariel when I first heard this song. But you really made this work :)
