I'm a simple girl. I see Jeremy Jordan singing, I start crying and click like before I even listen.
I’m a simple guy. And I do the same...
I'm a simple woman... i do too, every single day
I don't think I've ever seen a performer as consistent as Jeremy. Every video he's not just good, he blows me away. Also, if this isn't a perfect audition for being a Disney Prince I don't know what is.
Megan Ripley yes! We really need a Disney prince that can vocally match their princess, and Jeremy is perfect :)
Megan Ripley Well we got Varian XD
@Anya Dawson They do!! ruclips.net/video/gSu-wUlRmu4/видео.html
You right
His voice has always been outstanding but its obvious how much his tone has matured over these past few years
His voice is just so very beautiful. I'm majoring in classical voice, but this man is one of the main reasons musical theatre holds a dear spot in my heart. This is a treat for me too, since here we get to hear a little of his classical sound, and man, Jeremy never disappoints.
He is new to me. I really enjoy his approach to songs. Should be a West End Star!
He's originated two lead roles on broadway
What's this smell?... Could it be... ALL THE AWARDS?!
for me he is by far the best English speaking musical singer and actor. I always get goosebumps when he sings. Greetings from Germany
I've heard Jeremy Jordan sing so many different types/genres of songs and he always blows me away! This is almost like opera and I just love it! His lung control and projection are just phenomenal! I really can't praise him enough! I never had a favorite singer before, but now I do!
I listen to this at least ten times a day. I can't get over it. It's stuck in my head constantly. I pray this comes to fruition. Don't give up Michael Mott. You're going places
You are so sweet. Thank you! :-)
It must be thrilling to hear your music come to life. It is so very beautiful! Your success is inevitable! I love all your music! :-)
"Couldn't give me the right page" LOL a sense of humor and a perfect, soaring voice. Come back to Broadway Jeremy!!!
Official Lyrics:
A sky who knows my story,
A lesson from above,
A guide for my tomorrow,
A memory of love.
Her radiant beams of distant dreams,
Her loving glow is all I know.
In her embrace I was free,
I was everything that I had hoped to be.
She was light, every brilliant beam could waken any night.
Now I see the beauty of her rays on every beam
As they lead me on a dream toward her embrace.
A love who knew my demons,
A mirror to my day,
A wife who saw my failures,
A light to lead the way.
As time rolls by and daydreams die,
Her fading glow is all I know.
In her embrace I was King,
I could feel the loving life her light would bring.
With her love every word I'd write would light the night above.
Through the haze her perfect silver glow is all I see
And forever I will be in her embrace.
Now her touch is but a distant memory
As she escapes my hand.
Though she's gone I can feel her here
And at last I understand
That her embrace leads me on.
I can feel her presence rising with the dawn.
I will show I'd do anything to be the man I know.
He'd remain forever in her arms where he's alive.
In the end he would survive in her embrace.
From now on I will survive in her embrace!
Michael Mott
I will never get sick of this song!! Amazing work
THANK YOU!
What a voice!!! Cheers to Micheal Mott on a beautiful composition
Warning unsolicited opinion: In this version, Jeremy's character seems to be singing to his wife who has died but in another version that I think is more recent, "her embrace" lyrics have changed and seems to be more sung to an other-worldly, like a god character? Not sure which fits better with this story but the emotion that Jeremy sings with as if mourning and trying to hold on and find strength is so moving. It misses the mark for me when it is sung to with other lyrics...
The first few times I listened to this song, I would cry. So beautiful, so sad. The lyrics and Jeremy's performance evoke such feeling and emotions... Incredible.
Why can’t I stop watching this
I first came here for Jeremy Jordan, but I keep coming back for the song. It's just brilliant! I can't wait for a studio recording of this version (please, PLEASE let there be a studio version of this).
Ugh, I wish! We need the funding to this!
Me too! I keep coming back to check if there’s any news about the concept recording album.
I think your prayers have been answered! I only found out about this musical a few days ago when they announced the studio recording (I was stunned at the thought of someone adapting a Goethe play).
@@MichaelMottComposer congrats my guy!! :)
@@josefadavila2956 omg, thanks. This aged very well lollll
He is soooo soooo good. I have watched several videos of him singing live and he is just phenomenal. In key LITERALLY every performance except for when he purposely made a mistake haha . I could listen to him sing all day. I actually wish there were more videos of him singing online. I'm surprised he isn't more famous with a voice like his actually.
talielle yes yes yes exactly. He's AMAZING
I have never heard of Jeremy Jordan until a couple weeks ago when "Newsies on Broadway" came to Netflix. Now I can't stop watching Jeremy Jordan videos on here! He has such an amazing voice and it always gives me chills. I would die to be there live to see it!!! And I always think of songs he needs to sing whenever I hear some songs!
Lerrin Sawyer Same here. He's incredible!
You should watch Smash. He is season 2, and you can watch it for free with the nbc app. It also has Katharine McPhee too
Same here!! Only I saw Newsies this year on Disney+. Lol
he finishes syllables and phrases so damn well
it's amazing how Jeremy manages to make his co-stars shine in their performances. Laura is wonderful but the way Jeremy sings makes the music and her voice even more beautiful. In addition to feeling the total freedom and comfort of your partners in voicing your voice at your side
Jeremy Jordan is the best friggin singer I know of. SO amazing
I think I’ve watched this at least a hundred times. Great job, Michael!!
Thank you for watching!!
This man is unreal and this piece is beautiful, Michael Mott is such a talented composer and Jeremy one of the best singers of his generation.
His wealth of talent is absolutely absurd. AND he's sooo cute! Thank you, for posting.
This is like the 10th time in two days that I've listened to this song. Your music plus Jeremy's voice is a blessing
God...this song...that voice...breathtaking
My god, every time I listen to this I get chills. Those high notes just send me.
Jeremy never ever dissapoints. Any and every style and video, he is absolutely stunning
I'm a huge fan of his breath control and enunciation. I love that you can understand every word of this very beautiful song as well as how supported his high notes are. Plus the band also provides a very polished performance. Thoroughly enjoyed video thank you.
Stunning piece of music. Jeremy Jordan continues to be such an incredible talent. In the murky water of mainstream music, this is gold. Thank you.
Just watching this made my throat hurt. The hardwork it must have taken for Jeremy Jordan to get there I can't comprehend.
The song is beautiful. It's repetitive but I could listen to it all day, the lyrics are powerful as well.
All in all this is perfect.
Okay, so I am late like eight thousand years, but this song and Jeremy's performance hits me on so many levels, I can't even, I love this.
I really hope this gets to Broadway. I am a diehard Jeremy fan, but I also love all the performances from this event. I like the rise/fall as a duet. All the changes seem to make sense. Gorgeous melodies. It is nice that someone is still writing beautiful music and not just poppish scores for shows.
Sigmund Romberg and Jerome Kern would approve!
26mandys Wow, thank you so much for these beautiful words! So humbling! ❤️🙏🏻
Michael Mott I meant every word. My dad was a huge Romberg fan, and I went to school for musical theatre, so I spent four years listening to all those beautiful old musicals. Plus, these days so many people spend their time being critical and tearing people down. I have made a conscious decision to hand out compliments where they are deserved. It makes me happy.
I constantly come back to this video just to remember what true talent sounds like. Jeremy is such a consistent performer, a superb singer and on top of that an amazing human being.
Gorgeous. Please, tell me we will see this perfection this year, with Jeremy Jordan on stage
This is the most exquisite song, in the hands of a spectacular artist - EXCEPTIONAL!! 🥰👏🎶
He has an amazing voice, and paired with these lyrics is just amazing
Thanks! Those are the old lyrics. Excited for you to hear the new ones if we can reach our goal and record the full score to my musical!
Jeremy is incredible. I can listen to him all day long. So sorry it took me so long to find this beautiful music.
he's so insanely good omg
I listened to this five times straight. Bravura!!!!!!!!!
Can't stop watching this in a loop.
His voice is amazing. You are a great team.
Thank you so much!!
The lyrics of this song are what get me and like knowing the rest of the story and how this is the finale before he dies, DAMN!
Thank you! This is an older version. Check out the new and improved via the Highlights album. There’s also a music video that we filmed with Jeremy. :)
SO SO SO love that I can say I was there to see, hear, and feel this performance.
The whole soundtrack is amazing. This song is outstanding as is Jeremy Jordan.
I don’t know this song but damn, this is up there with some of the best theatre songs I’ve ever heard.
Honesty, there are some songs that will always move you and lift you up and this is one of them.
This makes me cry every single time
Brilliant writing Michael! You've done it again! And as always Jeremy is perfect for every part!
Thank you so much!
This song is amazing!
Still so beautiful and really moving. 😭
CHILLS!
OMG!!! Just discovering these songs! Leaves me Breathless
Such a powerful lyrics with wonderful melody, performed by amazing artist.
Hope you can tell us the story behind the lyrics. Looking forward to watch Jeremy Jordan in live after the Pandemic.
Thank you! We're in the middle of planning the studio album for the whole show. Please check out my website for more information on "In The Light."
@@MichaelMottComposer Welcome Sir, I hope it will materialize.
Thanks for the info. Stay home and healthy.
Still sounds amazing. he seems to be using a more "classical musical voice" moreso than his usual belting, emotionally wrecking voice. Go Jeremy
I agree and I like it better.
bonitamig agreed.
i absolutely need to hear a female cover of this one !!
What a singer! He brings wonderful emotion and musicianship to his performances.
Remarkable! So emotionally powerful. He is an amazing performer.
Just saw that this is getting a first reading, and I couldn't be more excited!!!!!! Can't wait to see it on Broadway!!! ;D
(I know there's a lot more steps, I'm just being optimistic, lol!)
A Syrdal that’s amazing I have clung with hope to these pieces!
YAY! It's FINALLY UP!!!! THANK YOU, MICHAEL!
Out of the three performances I've seen of this song, I liked Jeremy's the most. His phrasing and the way he dips into the more falsetto part while still making it sound natural with the rest of his voice makes the performance feel refined. The other two singers, kept lowering the larynx I felt making it sound unnatural.
How am I just now seeing this??? Wonderful piece sung brilliantly!
What a great way to usher in my new year...this musical was such an exciting discovery. I wish you guys the best of luck - I would absolutely fly to NYC just to see this! Thanks to you and Famous in NY for these videos!
I hope I don't break the repeat button
That's incredible 😍😘
This is a truly beautifully written song. The lyrics are so descriptive and captivating and of course the singer is pretty damn good as well lol. It’s wonderful that’s these videos are posted here, thank you Michael Mott.
Even in New Zealand you are inspiring and moving people. And trust me, us hobbits are hard to move.
My god the man can sing.
Slay that last note yoss
I’VE NEVER HEARD HIM SING LIKE THIS BEFORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I need it. I need the score. I need the performance. I need.
Lyrics! I've written down what I heard, I'm open to changes if you think they're different. This song is just AMAZING omg
A sky who knows my story
A lesson from above
A guide for my tomorrow
A memory of love
Her radiant beams of distant dreams
Her loving glow is all I know
In her embrace I was free
I was everything that I had hoped to be
She was light, every brilliant beam could waken any night
Now I see the beauty of her rays on every beam
as they lead me on a dream toward her embrace
A love who knew my demons
A mirror to my day
A wife who saw my failures
A light to lead the way
As time rolls by and daydreams die
her fading glow is all I know
In her embrace I was king
I could feel the loving life her light would bring
With her love every word I'd write would light the night above
Through the haze her perfect silver glow is all I see
and forever I will be in her embrace
Now her touch is but a distant memory
She escapes my hand
Though she's gone I can feel her here
and at last I understand
that her embrace leads me on
I can feel her presence rising with the dawn
I will show I'd do anything to be the man I know
He'll remain forever in her arms where he's alive
In the end he would survive in her embrace
From now on I will survive in her embrace

Not everyone, it's every word I write. But that's the only one I found
Lerrin Sawyer thanks!
These are 95% correct. Just a few things. I copy/ pasted your transcription and edited to the correct lyrics above. Thank you for typing this all out! xo, MM
Wow, the lyrics are really different from Josh Young's version. Both are amazing. This song touched my soul. I hope that I will get to see the show someday...
I'M SO HAPPY HIS VERSION IS BACK!!! Jeremy Jordan's voice is perfection and this song is beautiful. I love ittttttt!
Quick question: why are the lyrics different in this version?
Gracie Shedd It's a whole new version of the song from last weekend. We premiered 15 songs from the score of my musical IN THE LIGHT. New story = new material. Since I wanted to keep this song in the show, I rewrote the lyrics to fit the new story.
Love finding new (to me) music! This is stunning. 💞
I can't stand it, it was so perfect!
Why is this not a production musical?! Why is this not a concept album?!
I live this and his interpretation 🎹🌹
Amazing song!
HE IS INSANELY GOOD.
💙
Just heard Jeremy and Ryan singing Rise and Fall .Not a patch on the solo version of Jeremy on youtube .I like Ryan but to me Jeremy"s solo was better .Jeremy has a superb young voice, if you know what I mean .This is also a great song which suits him perfectly .He has tremendous angst and feeling in his voice .
The new version of "Rise or Fall" fits our new storyline. Sorry to hear you don't like it.
Michael ,I understand and realise R&F is tailored to suit the production and I like it .My point was I was blown away with Jeremy"s early version .Her Embrace is also very good and in In The Light seems to have what it takes to be a big smash hit .
@@MichaelMottComposer Time has moved on and I have In the Light Album .In fact 2 of them ,it is a superp album . Angst ,superb vocals ,orchestration and suspense .In all a masterpiece that should get a run on Broadway . Massive credit to all involved and I would recomend it to every music lover .
perfect!!!!!!
When it goes to Broadway, he has to go to Broadway with it!
Would love to find the lyrics - I still struggle following along in some spots. I need to belt on a Friday night!
That kid is ruining my life! I am supposed to concentrate on work with what my customers and employees need .... but all I hear in my head is his awesome voice 😪
Yo, Jeremy, I want to buy your CD. Do you think you could get on that?
Wow!
effortless. where the hell is his CD?
Much much better lyrics than on the soundtrack
Sean Lewis Lol, thanks? New book writer and new script, so I had to re-write my lyrics. 😬🤷🏻♂️
They've edited the lyric since this video was release, but I actually love these lyrics so much more somehow they feel more impactful than the changes they've made 🤷♀️
I’ve rewritten this song and this entire show over 13 times. When you see the show onstage, you’ll understand why the new lyrics are what they are.
@@MichaelMottComposer I'm sure you're right it's beautiful music either way ! ❤️
@@MichaelMottComposer so I'm a writer, I know whenever I go back to things I have done and re read them I have this incessant need to change something to "make it better". Do you ever feel that way about after rewriting the show so many times? Do you think it is in it's final form as of now?
Does anybody have any news about the score album they were going to record?
It comes out June 25th!!!
please write lyrics..!!!
This was great! But does anyone know who the other singer who performed this was/if I can find that version, I liked that one too :") I can't seem to find it on RUclips anymore
I hope you already found this but Josh Young recorded it on Michael Mott’s album “Where the sky Ends” ….great album! He also preformed it live in a concert, it is on RUclips..🤗
FRIKIN DISNEY PRINCE MATERIAL PLEASE
what is his octave range? anybody know?
Hey where's the live version of Rise or Fall? I can't find it anymore 🥺 it was the same performance
I took it down because it was an early draft. The album version is out now.
@@MichaelMottComposer oh okay 👍🏼 is it possible to put it back up? I love how his anger shows more in the live version. All good if not. I love In The Light
@@MichaelMottComposer I've grown to love the live version as it's very different to the studio version. It gives me eargasms
@@MichaelMottComposer do you think you can put it up? It would mean everything to many ❤
@@alyssandrasanchez1221 Hi! I'm so sorry, but that version of the song is not reflective of the current material and I do not want multiple versions of old drafts floating around while we're still trying to find it's artistic home.
is there instrumental version?
Jeremy Jordan should have been on glee
And there goes my wig
Yes Lucifer, we get it! You still miss Lilith a whole lot.
