Yorktown
This is magical
The Hamilton posts on my dash left me with a vague desire to see the show if the opportunity ever arose. But this. I pressed play, and at a minute and 20 seconds into this video, I paused it, opened iTunes, and downloaded the soundtrack. What the fuck is this. I didn’t ask for this.
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED.
I can’t put words to just how much the orchestra loses their collective shit during Yorktown – specifically during Oak’s rap + right after it. Their volume skyrockets, the conductor was headbanging…it felt like my seat was rattling off its hinges with the energy of it.
Yep, this is what sucked me in too. Listen with headphones. Every single time I get goosebumps when they get to “The world turned upside down…”
wow I .. okay I guess I’m getting the soundtrack now I wasn’t expecting that to work
thank you
UPDATE: I JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO HAMILTON and I am sold
also I got to the last track and broke down sobbing geez thanks guys I was not prepared for this
