There Once Was A Pirate (Spring Awakening)

There Once Was A Pirate from the Off-Broadway version of Spring Awakening. I'm sorry about the text and the sound delay. I don't own anything.

Frankly, I like this better than The Guilty Ones. I wish they had kept it.

[reprisexmyrole]

agreed. i prefer the off-broadway production in general.

i like the guilty ones. and i really like this song. i think if this song was just included in the show too it definately would have been even more amazing.

I just wish they would've recorded a soundtrack version with Jonathan Groff. *Sigh* But it's still an awesome track :P

@AliaSparrow I think Moritz could be the pirate as well..refuses to "go under the sea"

and they need to release this version of this song, and the national touring cast's version of a comet on its way.

@IWillBeHers oh god i love whispering. i think the show would be missing a huge part of wendla if that song wasn't there.

i like the guilty ones better as an act 2 opener, however, i LOVE this song and think they should've worked it in somehow.

I love the Guilty Ones, and I understand why this was cut. However, it is incredibly symbolic to the relationship between Melchior and Wendla. Wendla is the innocent madien searching for love, Melchior is the pirate who kept searching for knowledge and answers so much that he unwittingly had people hurt along the way.

i miss this song, they never should have cut it

[jeromycraig]

@bwaybaby333 It's much more symbolic. You'll recall that later in the play, Ilsa reminisces with Moritz about how they all used to play pirates as children. This song is evocative of lost innocence.

i much prefer this to the guilty ones,its just better and makes more sense

This is the only post of this song that I've heard that actually has both Jon and Lea singing. Thanks for posting! I wish they would release a studio version with them on iTunes. This song is so cool.
