Wow guys...I have the cd to Love Never Dies and though I was worried about seeing the show...I'm dying to see it now!
The music is PHENOMENAL! There are definitely pieces of the original in it.
Please, post your opinions on this topic. I was one who was against the show in the beginning, but I'm in full support of it now.
Later, I'll post up the storyline for whoever wants to read it.
****************SPOILER ALERT BELOW!****************
Here is one of the lyrics to one of my favorite songs "Beneath a Moonless Sky":
Beneath a Moonless Sky
FYI: P is Phantom, C is Christine, and B is both.
C: I should have known that you’d be here
I should have known it all along
This whole arrangement bears your stamp
You’re in each measure of that song.
How dare you try and claim me now?
How dare you come invade my life?
P: Oh, Christine. My Christine.
In that time when the world thought me dead
My Christine, on that night just before you were wed
Ah, Christine. You came and found where I hid
Don’t you deny that you did, that long ago night
C: That night...
P: Once there was a night, beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
C: I strode to your side to tell you I must go
I couldn’t see your face, but sensed you even so
And I touched you,
P: And I felt you
B: And I heard those ravishing refrains
C: The music of the past
P: The singing of your veins
C: And I held you
P: And I touched you
C: And embraced you
P: And I felt you
B: And with every breath and every sigh
C: I felt no longer scared
P: I felt no longer shy
Both: At last our feelings bared beneath a moonless sky
C: And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole
P: Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
A woman and a man
No more, and yet no less
And I kissed you
C: And caressed you
Both: And the world around just fell way.
We said things in the dark we never dared to say.
P: And I caught you
C: And I kissed you
P: And I took you
C: And caressed you
Both: With a need to blatant to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again beneath a moonless sky
P: And when it was done
Before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky
C: And I loved you, yes I loved you
I’d have followed anywhere you left
I woke to swear my love
and found you gone instead
P: And I loved you and I left you
C: How I loved you!
P: And I had you, both of us knew why
C: We both knew why
Both: And yet I won’t regret from now until I die
The night I can’t forget
Beneath a moonless sky
P: And now
C: How can you talk of now?
For us, there is no now.
