It went from a villain's song to a haunting farewell to one's homeland. Unable to live there any longer loving it despite all its flaws. Reminds me of when i left California.
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Wade Jeremy thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I love how they incorporated the In the Dark of the Night tune for the "villain" of the show. I was so thrilled to hear that melody make it's way into the show :D
Genesis Adelia I saw the show too. But there were some actor changes for that representation. Gleb was actually played by Constantine Germanacos, who is singing here :-). (And that's quite a change, because he normally plays two counts and Tsar Nicholas II, quite the opposite of Gleb).
Even though it's actually not the villain, this is right before Anya/Dmitry/Vlad board the train to France with other aristocrats who are no longer safe in Russia as the communist soldiers are killing off the last of anyone who benefitted from the monarchy. Everyone boarding the train can never go back to Russia, which is the parallel from the movie train scene and that's why the director's used that tune. Also, the reason they jump off the train in the play is because the communist soldiers are looking for them, not a mythical sorcerer trying to kill Anya
As a descendent of a person who had to flee Germany, this song hits hard. My family has always still kept our homeland with us, and I plan on moving back.
This so emotional, being part russian, and that my Russian ancestors had to leave Russia for their safety due to opposing the communist party, this really moves me as Russia is a part of me.
It's so hard hearing this song in times of crisis when so many people has leave their Homeland (my country) in order to be able to keep their studies or not be murdered.
This is giving me flashbacks to the end of fiddler on the roof, as we all sang 'Anatevka' and mournfully left the stage, I almost actually cried. This song is making me feel the same way as I did when I left the stage as yente for the last time closing night.
It's making me feel like at the end of Jesus Christ Superstar, where we had to sing Jesus's Crucifixion and then later the instrumental reprise of Poor Jerusalem as He was lowered unto the Virgin Mary's arms. I had tears in my eyes and at the end, when all the characters left the stage leaving Jesus and Mary in a recreation of La Pietà, I had that my character didn't want to leave Jesus's side and had to be pulled away. I really felt that.
kamendeliando at first I was a little upset that they changed the story so much (still upset that they didn't keep the rest of In the Dark of the Night though), until this scene which is a great addition to the whole narrative.
I haven't seen the broadway Anastasia, I really want to. This song really touched me because I can't imagine what the people in Russia went through when they killed the last Royal family, A lot had to leave their origins. I can't imagine if I left my country, I love USA And people today leave their country because of bad situations. Rest In Peace forever Romanov family.
Gotta say, I live in the US, I live in a country that doesn't love me. That being said, I still love my country. I just hate what's happening in America.
I just came back from this show on Broadway, without having heard any of the music before hand and rather disappointed that Rasputin was not in it, when this song began and I heard that melody, my heart filled with such joy and it made me so happy even though the song is so sad.
i’ve been sleeping on this musical and i’m doing my hw and listening to the entire soundtrack oh my gosh this song is so beautiful and melancholy and ahhh i love it so much
I got to see Constantine, the singer for Ipolitov in this, as Gleb in the performance of Anastasia I saw! Such an incredible actor, he sings with so much passion and emotion!
I brought my family to the Toronto showing and my mom cried during this scene. As someone who left her home country, this hit her hard. It's a beautiful song!
I saw Anastasia 2 weeks ago and I loved this song. It reminds me a lot of fiddler on the roof with the music and the emotions. I can't imagine fleeing my country because of my beliefs.
This song doesn't only relate to Russians. Could relate to anyone today- having to flee from their homeland bc their home is no longer safe :/ Refugees from Sudan, Venezuela and many more :/
@@janessadamyan4508 I also see it as any Soviet refugees. My family left Lithuania around WWI. I had an internship where I worked with Former Soviet refugees from the Ukraine and Russia, helping them with any benefits and pensions (most were 70+)
Just saw the play today this was one of my favorite songs in it it was absolutely amazing I was upset at first because I was looking for the dark of the night in the booklet they gave because I'm a big fan of the movie but this really gave me a thrill the play was awesome ❤
i hate how i cannot hate the antagonist because he's just like most sons&daughters out there who have to live up to everyone's expectations and duuude am i the only one who thinks he's inlove with anya????
It's the song before they get on the train so they are saying goodbye to Russia. Before the song a Count recognises Anya (I think he bows but no one else in the crowd catches on) he is the one singing the song in the beginning and I think everyone is blacked out except him whilst he's singing on his own. During the song it's very still, if I remember correctly, no one really moves except towards the end where I think they go off in sections leaving Anya alone when she sings the last line. A very moving moment. (This is all from memory and I watched it maybe 2 months ago so I'm sorry if some of it is wrong)
It makes me think of my great grandmother she was form Ukraine and she had to leave with her siblings and she was only nine I cannot even imagine the terror and emotions she must have felt. :,(
FYI, the actor who plays the count also plays Anya's father. So while the count is a secondary character he's still a pretty solid symbol of Anya's past.
Hannah Mowbray omg gurl i was wrong! i just checked Itunes and bought it immediately, it just wasn't on apple music every time i checked. I'm from Canada btw, thanks for saving the day
It went from a villain's song to a haunting farewell to one's homeland. Unable to live there any longer loving it despite all its flaws.
Reminds me of when i left California.
I love the melody from "In the Dark of the Night"
Used to be evil, now is eerie and melancholy

@Wade Jeremy it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Camilo Matthias Happy to help =)
his voice sounds like a cello it’s so beautiful 😭😭😭
I play the cello and that's exactly how I feel! 😂
Truly 💛 He's so resonant; I know we all go on about Christy and Ramin, but that actor is an *amazing* singer.
The actor is Constantine Germanacos! Part of the ensemble and I believe he also played the tsar
I love how they incorporated the In the Dark of the Night tune for the "villain" of the show. I was so thrilled to hear that melody make it's way into the show :D
THIS ISN'T THE VILLAIN
oops sorry caps lock
but yeah i saw this show last week, its not the villain, its a count.
Genesis Adelia I saw the show too. But there were some actor changes for that representation. Gleb was actually played by Constantine Germanacos, who is singing here :-). (And that's quite a change, because he normally plays two counts and Tsar Nicholas II, quite the opposite of Gleb).
Eily Ash Gleb was actually play Ramin Karimloo :)

Niffler1997 yes I am from Russia, and I love this musical
My mother is from Moscow she showed me this musical. I love it
I love that this song is true to that Russian folk music.
I’m not russian but I truly admire your culture and heritage. Stay proud of your roots!
Literally same, my great grandmother had to leave during the Russian revolution and lost her entire family due to it
It's so hard hearing this song in times of crisis when so many people has leave their Homeland (my country) in order to be able to keep their studies or not be murdered.
Where are you from?
this song is so hauntingly beautiful.
This is giving me flashbacks to the end of fiddler on the roof, as we all sang 'Anatevka' and mournfully left the stage, I almost actually cried. This song is making me feel the same way as I did when I left the stage as yente for the last time closing night.

I really felt that.
ironically, fiddler shows the czar for who he truly is, while anastasia makes a syrupy sweet version of the romanov couple up
This song is absolutely enticing in the best way possible
I think this might be my favorite song from the musical
kamendeliando at first I was a little upset that they changed the story so much (still upset that they didn't keep the rest of In the Dark of the Night though), until this scene which is a great addition to the whole narrative.
I never cry at songs, but when I first heard this the first two times, it made me tear up a little. This song is utterly powerful.
I haven't seen the broadway Anastasia, I really want to. This song really touched me because I can't imagine what the people in Russia went through when they killed the last Royal family, A lot had to leave their origins. I can't imagine if I left my country, I love USA And people today leave their country because of bad situations. Rest In Peace forever Romanov family.
I saw it last night, and you should save up to see it.
It is SO beautiful
It was terrifying.
Gotta say, I live in the US, I live in a country that doesn't love me. That being said, I still love my country. I just hate what's happening in America.
I want to see it so bad :•(
0:46 - "Come my minions, rise for your master, let your evil shine..."
OMG! That's true!
I just came back from this show on Broadway, without having heard any of the music before hand and rather disappointed that Rasputin was not in it, when this song began and I heard that melody, my heart filled with such joy and it made me so happy even though the song is so sad.
Ashley MacDougall Remember, it is for the realism perspective, not magical.
@@therenegadecommissar2087 Yes but Rasputin was real.
@@ashtreefall740 Thank you I did not know that. You learn something new everyday.
This is honestly my favourite song from this musical
Mary beth peil herself also love this song accdg to one of her interviews
i’ve been sleeping on this musical and i’m doing my hw and listening to the entire soundtrack oh my gosh this song is so beautiful and melancholy and ahhh i love it so much
I got to see Constantine, the singer for Ipolitov in this, as Gleb in the performance of Anastasia I saw! Such an incredible actor, he sings with so much passion and emotion!
Ahhh This scene in the show made me cry
Omg they repurposed part of "in the dark of the night" from the movie omgggg
I brought my family to the Toronto showing and my mom cried during this scene. As someone who left her home country, this hit her hard. It's a beautiful song!
Dmetre’s voice is so dang good!
this is haunting. i had to take off my headphones and take a moment
I get chills listening to this... the melody reused from the old villain song is used so well here and their voices are beautiful
I saw Anastasia 2 weeks ago and I loved this song. It reminds me a lot of fiddler on the roof with the music and the emotions. I can't imagine fleeing my country because of my beliefs.
This song gives me chills. It's so heartbreaking but so well done at the same time
"Let me have a moment, let me say goodbye" Oof. Right in the feels.
His voice is soothing in the beginning
This song doesn't only relate to Russians. Could relate to anyone today- having to flee from their homeland bc their home is no longer safe :/ Refugees from Sudan, Venezuela and many more :/
this does relate too the russians
@@janessadamyan4508 I also see it as any Soviet refugees. My family left Lithuania around WWI. I had an internship where I worked with Former Soviet refugees from the Ukraine and Russia, helping them with any benefits and pensions (most were 70+)

Is it just me or does this have the melody from In the Dark of the Night?
Rachel Tomassen It does. I think it's a nice way of paying homage to it while still being it's own thing.
yeah i noticed that too, it is very similar.
Yeah I also love that!!!
Rachel Tomassen I also noticed!
goldkehlchen1993 Same here!
i hate how i cannot hate the antagonist because he's just like most sons&daughters out there who have to live up to everyone's expectations and duuude am i the only one who thinks he's inlove with anya????
Yep it's confirmed that Gleb is in love with Anya, so he chases after her in both homicidal and romantic reasons
"Love is not what revolution's for"
+Michelle M "both homicidal and romantic reasons"😂😂😂
gleb isn't in this song though??
Maris Flores you’re not the only one!!!
At 1:54 "never gone before" sounds like the line "turning through the years" in Les Misérables??
Anastasia and the Baricade
@@elizahamilton8750 😂😂😂😂
*A revolution is a simple thing* !
0:46 ... Me: GASP! (I really should see this musical, I haven't yet) and then again at 2:22!!!!! Chills!
I really want to be able one day to sing COunt Ipolitov's solo. My voice reaches it but actual theatre doesn't cross-cast :/
this song reminds me of 'Papa can you hear me.' from Yentl
The most beautiful song in the show
Thank you for posting all these songs I love them all keep posting they are amazing :)
Listening to this after the final show and crying

Listening to this while we are all battling the pandemic... :'(
I watched the musical and I loved his voice over dimitri's
Wow, chills.

It is now :)
Yay. Thanks you so much!
That violin at the end
why isn't this recording on Apple Music?!?!
Yes it is
@@mitchellbachman9797 not in the US
What is happening during this song? Like at the musical?
It's the song before they get on the train so they are saying goodbye to Russia.

@@elisaedss thanks so much for the context. It was beautiful before, but now it's even more.
Anya-pink
Dimitry- blue
Anya & dimitry- purple
Vlad- green
All 3- orange
Count ipolitov- red
Ensemble- grey
All- black
It makes me think of my great grandmother she was form Ukraine and she had to leave with her siblings and she was only nine I cannot even imagine the terror and emotions she must have felt. :,(
Am I the only one who hears a connection to Bells Of Notre Dame (melody) and Sunrise, Sunset (concept and style)?
Slightly confused at everyone calling the Count the antagonist???
This is like "soon" in Bluth´s "Thumbelisa"
Thank you so much!!! Do you think you can upload quartet at the ballet?
Josie Smith I'll put it on my list - should be up this time tomorrow :)
It's up now :)

Vlad: Green
All three: Orange
Count Ipolitov: Red

All: Black
Hits different when you r actually an inmigrant
2:34
1:25
who's Count Ipolivtov?
He's a new character in the musical, I looked it up on wikepedia, I'm pretty sure he's the villian
I thought Gleb was like the villian?
Oh right, sorry just looked it up. I got them mixed up. Count Ipolivtov is just a random count I think on the train with them. He recognises Anastaisa
FYI, the actor who plays the count also plays Anya's father. So while the count is a secondary character he's still a pretty solid symbol of Anya's past.
He's Anya's cousin, who now has to leave Russia as the communist soldiers are killing off the aristocrats
sista it aint even on itunes:(
what country are you from? it is on iTunes here in the UK, that sucks that you can't get it, i'm sorry :(
Hannah Mowbray omg gurl i was wrong! i just checked Itunes and bought it immediately, it just wasn't on apple music every time i checked. I'm from Canada btw, thanks for saving the day

Ugly crying right here
Is this Ramin in the beginning?
No, it's a character called Count Ipolitov who was only introduced in the scene before this song
(SPOILER AHEAD)
And died the scene after
Ramin's vocalizing is soo!!....GAH!! Ramin's so bae!
Ramin isn't in this song...sorry

Gleb isn't in this track. It's Constantine Germancos.
Lol XD
