This song is so beautiful; it shows how the Phantom sees music as his escape from the life he lives, where people fear him and he's forced to live under an opera house.
I don’t care what anyone says, Gerard Butler freaking killed it. His voice is amazing and he’s not even a professional like Emmy or Patrick. Good job, Gerard, you stole my heart with this performance
with a lisp due to his lip, and heavy with accent. absolutely excellent. only thing i dont like is that possessive part. not his doing but it doesnt reflect the origin story.
Man, if I ever get the chance to just go somewhere where no people are and the sky is just full of stars, I would totally sing this and put all my heart into it.
This song is literally a trance. It's so memorising and hearing it live is other worldly. It's definitely my favorite song from the musical. I remember Sarah Brightman saying that this was a powerful song and she wanted to perform it and was sad when she found out it's the phantom's ballad but I can't blame her, it's a beautiful, powerful and emotional song. It's amazing to listen to and sing along just ugh amazing
Who could dislike this song???? He had never been trained in singing before this movie and his voice is absolutely amazing!!! How? Just how could this beautiful song be disliked?
I compared Butler's performance to Boccelli's. Although Boccelli is a professional opera singer, and has amazing voice, Butlers gives some terror and horror so needed in such tormented creature of darkness. Butler sounds once like an angel and then like a devil. Plus I like his voice, he did excellent job as someone who never received proper training before. Bocceli's performance has beauty but lacks the emotions.
I sang this song for a senior solo in High School. It was a difficult song to sing, but I succeeded! The audience clapped their hands really loudly. A lot of my friends came and gave me a hug! They wanted to show how proud and happy they were!
+Sathya Prabhakar I plan on singing this song for Talent Show at my school this year, considering it's my senior year and my music teacher really wants me to sing it. Just got to train my voice to hit those high notes more smoothly.
+///Harmonic Breeze/// That's nice. I think all talent shows should be like that, a fun little event for kids to express themselves, not a competition for people to show off. If they do sign up to show off, I'm sure there are some who join just to have fun.
Anyone else put their headphones on to listen and go into a trance? This voice is so amazing I feel like he was standing in front of me and I wanted to be with him
I'm not sure what you would consider a "musical voice," but several things are certain in this recording: 1. He maintains pitch throughout. 2. He is able to convey emotion as he sings. 3. He has excellent diction. 4. His dynamics are impeccable. Sounds like a very capable musical voice to me! :)
Doug Schwandt sure. But that's not what I meant. I love his voice and the emotion. But what I mean by "musical" voice is something like ramin karimloo. Both is awesome. And even if gerry doesn't have the kind of voice like ramin he fits perfectly to the role and his voice has everything the phantom should have :)
He spent his entire childhood being mistreated and abused because of his face, he doesn't know how to have healthy social interactions making him a tragic character whilst still being the "villain"
@@waynerees9355 villains aren't defined by their motivations, but by their actions. It may seem unfair, but action is the ultimate judge of character, Aristotle would point out that the reason why you have sympathetic villains is to induce reflection, seeing that it is action, and not motivation, that determines their end...
I love the phantom so incredibly much. The first time I saw this opera was in London, then Chicago, but there's no place like Broadway. If you ever get a chance, you need to see this. It will make your heart bleed.
+Stacy Steele I saw this play for the first time on Broadway with my Fiancee (coincidentally I proposed to her there) almost a month ago. It was her favorite musical and now it's my favorite as well. The music is just so passionate and filled with emotion! I love it!
I find this version my the best Music of the Night performance. The way it's sang, the feelings projected onto his voice, is marvelous. :) Love it. Love his interpretation.
Impulsive Ray I've done it. It's like experiencing a heatpounding, significant, life altering movie scene in real life. One of my favourite memories. Please do it!
song is so beautiful 😍 I highly believe it's more than a song, about the darkness you undergo, silencing the mind, and discovering your Soul. Truly appreciate it while meditating 👑
I watched it when I was, say, 4. It was my favorite movie up until I saw that there were movies other than musicals. It's still in my top 20, though (The Usual Suspects shall always be number 1...).
I wouldn't be able to play this or any other songs from Phantom of the Opera in my band. I'd be yelling at everyone "YOURE NOT DOING IT RIGHT" and everyone would think "what the fuck is wrong with that flute player" if the teacher even mentioned the name of any of the songs I might have a heart attack in the middle of class
We were going to play this in our band last year for an Andrew Lloyd Webber medley, but since it was too long he cut it out. Half the band was pretty ticked, including myself lol
@@mandyme1999 my marching band did Phantom and we won 1st place on everything that we did that year. We had a trumpet solo the phantom's part on this song and it was beautiful
I was in middle school when the Phantom of the Opera music became really popular (Probably due to the movie, though it seems like it was before the movie). My mom would listen to it often, my art teacher would play it during class, and everyone was talking about it. As a result I grew an appreciation for it.
Experiencing the darkest moment of my life is making this song make sense. I am going to live as I have never lived before to honor the time I lost my baby girl.
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Leave all thoughts of the world 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 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 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 go Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the harmony which dreams alone can 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
the lyrics are so powerful speaking of all of the Phantom's feelings Gerard Butler did a fantastic job all the desperation and lust, all the love and heart-ache that the phantom is feeling shines through it takes my breath away striking a chord deep in my soul
Wow can you imagine if someone asked you "What's your favourite movie kid?" thinking you'll say something like a Disney Movie, and then you blow their minds with "Phantom of the Opera"
Beautiful song! Andrew Lloyd Webber is a brilliant man.... I'm seeing Phantom of the Opera on Broadway on August 15th for my sister's birthday... I booked the tickets as a birthday gift.
I've admitted to my fiance of my silly romantic desire to fall asleep to him singing this song. I absolutely love his voice. He's blessed with a gift for music and singing.
If you think about it. Is Christine hadn't sang (the phantom wanted her to sing) raoul would have not noticed her. Cause he didn't notice her when she was a dancer. And all of a sudden she sings once and he falls for her. Isn't sketchy? I mean the phantom loved her for who she was and how beautiful he sounded. He knew her more than raoul knew her.

Butler killed it. He had no formal training before this film, and was able to give this level of performance. I can see why Joel cast him; his deep raspy voice is so desperately trying to sound like a beautiful tenor, and that about sums up The Phantoms character: he was trying to be beautiful. 😢
This movie came out when I was 1 and was my favorite movie, still is, I would get my grandma to sing all of the songs and she didn't know all the words and at age 3 I had all of them memorized.
This is the song I picked to sing in Drama class back in high school in my junior year. Despite my social anxiety, I actually did a great job singing it and received an A+. Heck, I passed the whole year with an A+
Okay, Butler doesn't have the best singing voice, nor does he surpass Michael Crawford. But he puts all his heart and passion into it and it sounds wonderful!
I don't really think of him as a Villain, I mean like, he had an awful time as a child and that messed him up. Well actually he did kill people... Uhhhh....Lets forget that part :)
Its too bad that our DVR broke and we lost all of our recorded movies. And that included this movie. I used to watch it all the time. It is a scary movie, but its also sad. The Phantom only wanted someone to love. Someone that would love him for who he is. It doesn't matter what someone looks like.
I have been obsessed with phantom kf the opwra my whole life... And now i am auditioning with music of the night for a scholarship through thescon! Thank you phantom of the opera for even getting me into theater!
thank you and i phrased it that way as in im a guy who isnt ashamed of loving musicals i guess in a way most guys that dont like em see them as a more so feminine type deal but meh musicals are fun
... why would any guy be ashamed to like musicals... Many guys love musicals (myself included) and anyone who thinks anything of it is a person who doesn't deserve an opinion
Even if the phantom is evil, I just adore him!!! I wish he would be real and teach me how to sing... well, Gerard Butler i the phantom, but hey, something unique! when have you seen a genius living in dungeons of a thetre? :D I
The phantom isn't really Evil he is the epitome of a tortured soul. to quote him "it is the hate of man that made me into a monster, and it's your love that will redeem me" he is an angel just twisted into a monster.
The Phantom is "bad" but not exactly "evil." Based on his upbringing, coupled with the fact that mental healthcare for trauma didn't exist during his lifetime, his actions and desperation are more understandable.
Just replying to bring you back to this intoxicating song, and to say that I’m sure your grandfather is very proud of you. ♥️ he had great taste in music.
I’m fourteen and love this, every time my mum played this I would just sit down quietly and watch it and it used to be near impossible to stay still when I was younger. Though it used to always freak out my older sister.
I love Phantom of the Opera! Heck, my parents went to a production of it when my mom was pregnant with me, so I was born to love it! Also, I want to be kidnapped by the Phantom so bad!!! *internal orgasms whenever Phantom sings anything*
The thing with Phantom is he really can't help his appearance. The old part is just a thing with time, but he was born deformed. The Gerard Butler version is mild in comparison to how the original description was. "He has no nose; eyes that are sunken so deep that all is seen are two skull-like eye sockets except when his golden eyes glow in the dark; skin that is yellow and tightly stretched across his bones; and only a few wisps of ink-black hair behind his ears and on his forehead. (His mouth is never described in as much detail, but is referred to as a 'lipless' 'dead mouth' by Christine, and Erik acknowledges that his mouth is abnormal when lifting up his mask to display ventriloquism.) He is described as extremely thin, so much so that he resembles a skeleton."
I never seen this movie before...however i seen it recently on Netflix. Beautiful story plot. I wish people never hate on the Phantom because of his appearance.
This was the first song I ever heard in my life.. it was also my first musical(that I watched and that I acted in) in a way this song is my life. It has helped me make descisions in my life that I will never regret. Thank you , Andrew Lloyd webber.

My life in general. That's why I get violent when people try and take my music
I don’t care what anyone says, Gerard Butler freaking killed it. His voice is amazing and he’s not even a professional like Emmy or Patrick. Good job, Gerard, you stole my heart with this performance
He definitely fit the bill for the role of the Phantom, like Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark and Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow
with a lisp due to his lip, and heavy with accent. absolutely excellent. only thing i dont like is that possessive part. not his doing but it doesnt reflect the origin story.

Dude same
@@ShadowCider
I'd sing this when I finally found the right moment to serenade!
Find a place far from your house and just go there! Then sing. Sing without regret.
Sameeee
I actually sang this song for the first time for karaoke, thinking I was gonna bomb, and the audience _actually_ enjoyed my performance!
Everytime I hear this song, it sounds so sad. It's as if I can hear the loneliness, sadness, and pain in his voice.
yeah it's kinda deep
agreed
FlowerTypeRose beauty fades that is why it is beautiful :)
heart warming 💖
I agree it is very sad/painful but in a good way ya know?
Morgan Tolbert Definitely. :)

I listen to this whenever I feel anxious or sad or demotivated. Makes me feel like I need to chase something and so therefore keep going.
This is the ultimate song to seduce someone
Yeah it is.
Try telling them the tragedy of Darth Plagues the wise
It seduced Christine before he started acting crazy
It really is!
@@dearpeoplelist Well killing people tends to turn women off for some reason, always does when I try it!

I still question how the hell he got a horse down in the catacombs.
he's the phantom. he can manage to do anything
Well... He IS a genius, sooo...
Well according to the book he stole it from the stables or something(?) I forgot the book 😅 it's been years since I read it

Experiencing the darkest moment of my life is making this song make sense. I am going to live as I have never lived before to honor the time I lost my baby girl.
To think that the same man who played king Leonidas could make such wonderful "Music of the Night" :3
I am still amazed at how much emotion and expression he can put into the songs, especially this one.
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Leave all thoughts of the world 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 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
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 go
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the harmony which dreams alone can 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
Nice lyrics
Controlling man much
Brava! Brava! My favorite one in this. I like to close my eyes and imagine him in my head. My favorite one the voice is oh dear.

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
[Verse 5]
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
Yes we can read the lyrics as the song plays 🙄
Gerrys voice is so breathtaking,so wonderful!
Butler killed it. He had no formal training before this film, and was able to give this level of performance. I can see why Joel cast him; his deep raspy voice is so desperately trying to sound like a beautiful tenor, and that about sums up The Phantoms character: he was trying to be beautiful. 😢
This movie came out when I was 1 and was my favorite movie, still is, I would get my grandma to sing all of the songs and she didn't know all the words and at age 3 I had all of them memorized.
+Ashton girl forever AGF wow. my favorite movie, too
I love that off note at 5:16. Really makes it that much more powerful
This is the song I picked to sing in Drama class back in high school in my junior year.
Despite my social anxiety, I actually did a great job singing it and received an A+.
Heck, I passed the whole year with an A+
💞💞💞singing over and over juts love the words and the feelings when singing 😍😍😍
It feels like that the Phantom was singing to me.
No to me
Turvlover No, me!
Same and I’d say yes to him
I feel it could have gone differently and the Phantom didn't have to go out like that. He seems so sad.
I NEVER would have thought Gerard's voice would sound this amazing. His voice is so intreguing.♥
Since a child , I loved the phantom of opera , Michael Crawford , and Sarah brightmam still hold the gold , this a close second 👍
Okay, Butler doesn't have the best singing voice, nor does he surpass Michael Crawford. But he puts all his heart and passion into it and it sounds wonderful!
So true!
I think Gerard Butler does have the best singing voice and he does surpass Michael Crawford.
The phantom is still the best villen ever
"Villain"
I don't really think of him as a Villain, I mean like, he had an awful time as a child and that messed him up. Well actually he did kill people... Uhhhh....Lets forget that part :)
Joshua G. villian** not "villian" ;)
if your going go correct people do it right :)
Yep 😁
@@joshuag.9657 No
Phantom: Kicks Roul into a pit and yells, " THIS IS OPERA!"
Its too bad that our DVR broke and we lost all of our recorded movies. And that included this movie. I used to watch it all the time. It is a scary movie, but its also sad. The Phantom only wanted someone to love. Someone that would love him for who he is. It doesn't matter what someone looks like.
The Original "Phandom" X'D
I thought the original Phandom was the one for Danny Phantom
Kari C. I've seen a cringy crossover of both on deviantart... *shudders* (...I still love Danny Phantom though XD)
lol
boo!
Omfg XD
Love you, Erik!
I have been obsessed with phantom kf the opwra my whole life... And now i am auditioning with music of the night for a scholarship through thescon! Thank you phantom of the opera for even getting me into theater!
How did it went?
Honestly, this is the best song in the entire musical
im a guy and ill admit i love musicals
i dont find it odd
thank you and i phrased it that way as in im a guy who isnt ashamed of loving musicals i guess in a way most guys that dont like em see them as a more so feminine type deal but meh musicals are fun
... why would any guy be ashamed to like musicals... Many guys love musicals (myself included) and anyone who thinks anything of it is a person who doesn't deserve an opinion
I love you
I love musical too and I'm a guy
Even if the phantom is evil, I just adore him!!! I wish he would be real and teach me how to sing... well, Gerard Butler i the phantom, but hey, something unique! when have you seen a genius living in dungeons of a thetre? :D I
The phantom isn't really Evil he is the epitome of a tortured soul. to quote him "it is the hate of man that made me into a monster, and it's your love that will redeem me" he is an angel just twisted into a monster.
I never saw the Phantom as evil...
The Phantom is "bad" but not exactly "evil." Based on his upbringing, coupled with the fact that mental healthcare for trauma didn't exist during his lifetime, his actions and desperation are more understandable.
My grandfather loves this song. He only has a few days. Crying listening to this reminiscing all our memories, and enjoying his legacy. love you Pa
Just replying to bring you back to this intoxicating song, and to say that I’m sure your grandfather is very proud of you. ♥️ he had great taste in music.
I’m fourteen and love this, every time my mum played this I would just sit down quietly and watch it and it used to be near impossible to stay still when I was younger. Though it used to always freak out my older sister.
wooooooooow i adore this movie and adore its songs it s magical
I love Phantom of the Opera! Heck, my parents went to a production of it when my mom was pregnant with me, so I was born to love it! Also, I want to be kidnapped by the Phantom so bad!!! *internal orgasms whenever Phantom sings anything*
same but not as attached to it as you
Stockholm Syndrome at it's finest.
True dat
The phantom isnt supposed to be as handsome as Gerard Butler lol hes supposed to be old and just really ugly looking
The thing with Phantom is he really can't help his appearance. The old part is just a thing with time, but he was born deformed. The Gerard Butler version is mild in comparison to how the original description was.
"He has no nose; eyes that are sunken so deep that all is seen are two skull-like eye sockets except when his golden eyes glow in the dark; skin that is yellow and tightly stretched across his bones; and only a few wisps of ink-black hair behind his ears and on his forehead. (His mouth is never described in as much detail, but is referred to as a 'lipless' 'dead mouth' by Christine, and Erik acknowledges that his mouth is abnormal when lifting up his mask to display ventriloquism.) He is described as extremely thin, so much so that he resembles a skeleton."
I saw this Musical in Las Vegas last summer. Hands down the most beautiful thing i've ever watched. No question about it.
God... this singer was so beautiful with his voice. He's really a god in the way that he can make me cry within seconds into the song.
I like to sing along with this except an octave lower, Imagining myself as nearly a copy of the Phantom just as a bass.
Same, except I'm a soprano, so I have to settle for dramatically flipping my red cape as I watch the movie.
Oltyx Lucatius im a baritone and i grew to sing of this sing
I sort of did that at a school costume contest one time but was only a small portion(around 30 sec.). Although it sounded odd, I was amazing
OH MY GOD THE FEELS FROM THIS SONG 0_0
I'm considering singing this at our Pops concert at school, and this is so immensely useful.
His voice is amazing!!!
i srsly need to watch this movie
Elijah Meyer And while you're at it, watch the play/musical
I never seen this movie before...however i seen it recently on Netflix. Beautiful story plot. I wish people never hate on the Phantom because of his appearance.
This was the first song I ever heard in my life.. it was also my first musical(that I watched and that I acted in) in a way this song is my life. It has helped me make descisions in my life that I will never regret. Thank you , Andrew Lloyd webber.

+amber kluttz yes ma'mm! ;) he also played nim's dad in Nim's island :)
