My Eyes/On The Rise-Dr. Horrible Violin & Piano Cover

@phildelrosario
The opening number to Act II of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I thought it had a nice melody and wonderful lyricism, so here it is! The right violinist is my pitiful attempt at an agitated Dr. Horrible and the left is my happy go lucky Penny.

If you haven't seen this movie...YOU MUST! Find it somewhere on the internet. iTunes, Hulu, somewhere!

Sorry for any off rhythms or misplaced notes; I did my best playing it by ear and by myself with myself. Hope you appreciate that. If I had some sheet music, I'd certainly play it much better. But this will do for now. =)

Enjoy!
Haha, I think I got into it a little too much...but I think it helped me play better. Hahahaha =D

This one's for my friend, Josh. For he introduced me to this fabulous musical.

For those who wish to sing along:
Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don't know if I'll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the watermain.

Listen close to everybody's heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground

I cannot believe my eyes
How the world's filled with filth and lies
but it's plain to see evil inside of me
is on the rise.

Look around
We're living with the lost and found
Just when you feel you've almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground

And you believe there's good in everybody's heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope you can do your part
To turn a life around

I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise
Because it seems to me some kind of harmony
Is on the rise

H: Anyone with half a brain
P: Take it slow

H: Could spend their whole life howling in pain
P: He looks at me and seems to know

H: Because the dark is everywhere and
P: The things that I'm afraid to show

H: Penny doesn't seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain
P: and suddenly I feel this glow

H: Listen close to everybody's heart
P: And I believe there's good in everybody's heart

H: and hear that breaking sound
P: keep it safe and sound

H: Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
P: With hope you can do your part

H: And crashing to the ground
P: To turn a life around

H: I cannot believe my eyes how the world's filled with filth and lies
P:I cannot believe my eyes how the world's finally growing wise

H: But it's plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise
P: And it's plain to see rapture inside of me is on the rise

@zoidberg02 they dont fall in love. penny falls in love with captain hammer and captain hammer is just a douche bag the whole time.

I dunno, I think it was more about his decision and the consequences of it.

At the very start Dr. Horrible has to make a decision to continue his heist or go after penny. He picks evil over love and then everything after that was consequence. She is saved by Cpt. Hammer, they fall in love and then eventually she dies as a result.
