and yea, I am planning to go watch this one when it comes out on Dec 22nd over here, since my finals are over and most likely than not I will have nothing else to do. I had wanted to watch it in Broadway last time but my frens wanted to watch something else *sigh*

In some versions it's "surround" and "closing in around".Originally posted by laurence82:i like music of the night...
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess 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 night.

right....original broadway cast performed by Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford in 1986 is this.......
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
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 you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you new 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 night
Let your mind start a journey through 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
there are re-writes of cos.....
rumoured to be 3 versions as of current
only slight changes to the lyrics.......a few words here and there.......
no major disfiguration to the whole musical
it was argued that "caress" and "possess" were modern terms tt were not widely used or accepted so the newer versions tt had undergone re-writes to make it more relevant and sensual to the modern audience
also, there were some slight modifications to the english structure.....due to evolution in language and to make it more understandable to ppl today..... -

I managed to catch The Phantom of the Opera in Broadway, New York! YES!!! It was simply astounding!
This is one of my all-time favourite musicals. I was enraptured by it way back when I had just completed my 'A' levels. I even scrimped and saved to purchase the 2-CD Phantom of the Opera set and listened to it sooooo many times I knew most of the lyrics by heart.
Sadly, mom borrowed it a long while back and misplaced it. 
Reading the book was a real treat too! I'm definitely going to watch that movie when it shows!
Incidentally, a friend told me that Andrew Lloyd Weber composed the musical for his then-wife, Sarah Brightman, because he was so deeply in love with her. Sadly, they're now divorced.
Here are the lyrics to one of my favourite songs in the musical! When I was watching it in Broadway, I CRIED when they were singing this!!!
NO more talk of darkness, forget these wide eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
My words they warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you beside you
To guard you and to guide you
Chorus:
Say you'll love me, every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you'll need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
All I want is freedom
A world with no more light
And you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Chorus:
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you'll need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me each night, each morning
Say you love me (You know I do!)
Love me, that's all I ask of you!
Anywhere you go let me go to
Love me, that's all I ask of you! -
