15- Phantom of the Opera

Music of the Night

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses

Slowly, gently night unfurls it's splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall surround you
feel it, hear it, closing in around you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight

The darkness of the music of the night1

Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

This lyrics is entitled “Music of the Night” if you are familiar with the Phantom of the Opera then I’m sure you’ll be able to sing this song.

For me, The Phantom of the Opera is my favourite of all the plays I’ve ever watched the second is of course Les Miserables. The reason why I love The Phantom of the Opera is because of the story. Especially the love story between Christine and Raoul but personally I would ship Phantom and Christine. Another reason is because of the songs since it is nice and the lyrics are wonderfully made and it really portrays a lot. And another reason why I love Phantom of the Opera is because of the Fan fictions especially when I read one about Phantom and Raoul and no it is not about shipping them but rather it is where they became brothers due to an incident but fan fictions aside. These are the reasons why I love Phantom of the Opera it may seem an old story but the story and the plot itself is really magnificent and you would not notice that it is an old play.

Overall, I would recommend you to watch The Phantom of the Opera especially the 25^th anniversary since it is really amazing.
