  • Les sigh. Eponine breaks my heart every single time... but oh how I love her... & this song. This one's near & dear to my heart. My father gave me the original cast recordings on TAPE (haha) of Les Mis when I was in elementary school & this is the song that always grabbed me. When I turned 13, he & my mom took me to see a Broadway Theater League production of Les Mis & I was officially hooked. Eponine has always been my dream role, so I hope you enjoy this as much as I did recording it!

    I have no words. You did this PERFECTLY!
    The real kicker about Eponine's situation is that she never truly loved Marius. What she loved was an idea that he represented. And she KNOWS this, but she clings to her "love" for him despite being fully aware that it's false because she feels that it's the only thing she has that's worth living for.
    To quote Aragorn from Lord Of The Rings: "It is but a shadow, and a thought that you love."

    Eponine truly is the most tragic love story in all of Les Mis.

    I can definitely tell that you’ve listened to this song a million times and put a lot of thought into it, because your version sounds different than any other I’ve heard before. I can catch influences of other performances but it’s really your own. Beautiful

    On my own
    Pretending he's beside me
    All alone
    I walk with him till morning
    Without him
    I feel his arms around me
    And when I lose my way I close my eyes
    And he has found me
    In the rain the pavement shines like silver
    All the lights are misty in the river
    In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
    And all I see is him and me forever and forever
    And I know it's only in my mind
    That I'm talking to myself and not to him
    And although I know that he is blind
    Still I say, there's a way for us
    I love him
    But when the night is over
    He is gone
    The river's just a river
    Without him
    The world around me changes
    The trees are bare and everywhere
    The streets are full of strangers
    I love him
    But every day I'm learning
    All my life
    I've only been pretending
    Without me
    His world will go on turning
    A world that's full of happiness
    That I have never known
    I love him
    I love him
    I love him
    But only on my own

    Sorry to be an audio geek for a moment, but I absolutely love the vocal treatment on this. I'm not sure what's going on here.. Maybe a new compressor reigning in the dynamics? The quiet passages are nice and forward, and I can hear that soft vibrato. Balanced very well with the backing track. Whilst I'm here, I might as well also say I loved the performance. This song always gets me, and it's worthy of a Brittany treatment :)
