@@MrFairbanksak1 The colonists weren't against taxation. They were against unfair, heavy taxes that would bleed them dry, and with no one to represent them and their complaints in English court.
one of the many strokes of genius in this show that I've noticed is that it is A LOT of unison singing, but when they do break into harmonies it is an important line. Lines like "Pulitzer may own the world, but he don't own us. Pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us," "You can bet we won't let them bastards beat us. we won't beg no one to treat us fair and square. There's a life that's worth the livin, and I'm gonna do my share," "Once we'be begun, if we stand as one, someday becomes somehow, and a prayer becomes a vow," and of course "they think they're running this town, but this town'll shut down without us." There are many more examples of this, but these are just a few of my favorites. I think this concept really helps this powerful story as everyone is just singing the same notes and then (most of the time, sometimes the harmonies are lower) the tenors take these really high harmonies and that line and it's importance stands out to the audience.
This is so much better than the Disney movie version -- shows more of the desperation, determination, anger and pain. More realistic. Which is sad when you realize how bad it actually was.
"This is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet every day, This is for guys sweating blood in the shops while the bosses and cops look away!" That line really doesn't get enough credit.... they're not just doing this for themselves, but every kid who's been wronged by authority figures. I love this play!
It's the whole style of the song. It's got ground to stand on and it's sung with a huge purpose behind it, and there are so many talented people singing it at once.
I love listening to this song while I'm doing homework because I get so hyped like 'THIS IS THE STORY WE NEEDED TO WRITE WHEN WE KEPT OUT OF SIGHT' and before I know it I've drawn a hole through my calculus homework
That last note is absolutely crazy. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's a C# and I am a high tenor and that note SCARES ME! I can't believe they did this show 8 times a week. Absolutely amazing! I will always love Newsies
My choir is singing this song and I got the small female solo at the beginning, I have to sing it with these two amazing guys!! I'm so intimidated by them, I feel like I'm going to mess it up.. I'm so scared!! Its such an amazing song!
we are actually performing it in my highschool and im the main from out of the 50 guys and I have to memorize all this music if I can sing all of that you could sing that so no pressure
i my never know why but i love the line " once and for all if they don't mind their manners we'll bled 'em." i love the hole song because they prove you don't have to take any type of abuse!
The beginning of this song (and other parts of it) gives me such a strong "No Day But Today" vibe from Rent with the melody. "There's only us / There's only this / Forget regret / Or life's yours to miss"
I didn't 100% but I do get what you mean. I just saw Rent last month for the first time on tour in Costa Mesa. Rent was good but Newsies is better. A coincidence is both musicals first appeared on Broadway at the same theatre
gosh this song makes me want to climb buildings in a single bound and sob in the fetal position and idk what else but i end up just sitting on the couch with my earbuds in mouthing the words very intensely
I remember going into the audience with newspapers while singing “there’s change coming once and for all, you’re getting to weak, too old to keep holding on” etc. and that feeling of power and elation is just so legendary
This song literally ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. Just keeping the story leading up to this in mind makes it so powerful. Geez, definitely my favorite song from the whole musical.
This song sounds like a hero's version of the Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast. Coincidentally, Alan Menken wrote the music for both movies/musicals!
This is my favorite song from the entire show. When I did this show, I was a background newsie and I had so much fun. This is one of the last songs, so everyone is tired as all get out by the end because of all the singing and dancing. But when we stood up on that piece of scaffolding belting our hearts out, all the pain and aching seemed to leave and we were filled with a newfound strength. On the 'There's change coming once and for all!' towards the end, our scaffolding moved forward. I've never felt more powerful in my entire life. Almost every single show the audience would applaud as we belted and sang our hearts out. I cried so hard at the cast party. I had so much fun doing this show.
YEEEESSS the other day I was so sick of failing classes and sleeping all the time and having a therapist who doesn't help me, and then the Newsies came to me, singing "There's change coming once and for all" and I'm like, "DEPRESSION'S GONNA DARN WELL PAY."
Last month I finished my newsies broadway performance for the last time. This song was so beautiful and powerful! I can't listen to this song without crying tbh ):
There's change coming once and for all You makes the front page and man, you is major news [Jack and Crutchie] Tomorrow they'll see what we are [Jack, Crutchie and Katherine] And sure as a star, we ain't come this far... to lose [Crutchie] Here they come!! [Ensemble] This is the story we needed to write as we're kept out of sight, well no more In a few hours by dawns early light we'll be ready to fight us a war This time we're in it to stay, talk about seizing the day Write it in ink or in blood, it's the same either way. They're gonna damn well pay! See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed, he don't care if we're dead or alive Three satin pillows are under his head, while we's begging for bread to survive Joe, you can stop counting sheep, we're gonna sing ya to sleep You've got your thugs with their stick and their slugs, Yeah! But we got a promise to keep! Once and for all if they don't find their manners, we'll bleed 'em! (Bleed 'em!) Once and for all we won't carry no banners that don't spell freedom! Finally we's raising the stakes, this time whatever it takes! This time the union awakes, once and for all! [Newsie] Come on, boys! [Ensemble] Yeah!! This is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet everyday This is for guys sweating blood in the shops while their bosses and cops look away I'm seeing kids standing tall, glaring and raring a brawl All of these guys who are sick of the lies getting ready to rise to the call! Once and for all they'll be blood on the wall if they doubt us They think they're running this town, but this town will shut down without us Ten thousand kids in the square, ten thousand fists in the air! Joe, you is gonna play fair, once and for all! Once and for all!! Once and for all!! Once and for all!! There change coming once and for all You're getting too old, too weak to keep holding on A new world is coming for you, and Joe, we is too! Til once and for all you're gone! [Jack] Once and for all! [Crutchie] Once and for all!! [Ensemble] Once and for all! (Once and for all!!)
Absolutely people to this day are going through this. We’re all equally human and no-one should be in this type of situation. But we have to have empathy, respect and love for each other and not be greedy if we want the world to become better.
I'm doing a dance to this with my friends in a talent show. At the beginning we have notebooks and "writing" and when it goes "this is the story we needed to write..." We throw the notebooks and snap the pencils in half and start dancing
The beginning and end of this song with the harmonies always makes me cry!!! It’s like so meaningful even tho what they actually saying is like “let’s get dat dude Pulitzer and let’s get sum mo money!”
This is the second year I've started this song at 11:56:51:05 on Dec. 31st and I'm telling you, it gets me everytime. Chills down my spine, tears in my eyes, and everything😂🎉Happy New Year!2020
Write it in ink or in blood its the same either way. They're gonna DAMN well pay. That. That's what does it for me. Fuck, just this song makes me want to start a fricking rebellion.
"Once and for allllllllll Once and for allllllllll Once and for allllllllll Once and for allllllllll *THERE'S CHANGE COMING ONCE AND FOR ALL* " Me: uncontrollable sobbing
HOLY SHIT- This musical is amazing! I love how emotional and angry it is. Santa Fe is so desperate, but also emotional. This musical really gives some feels. Powerful.
In the first 7 seconds of this song you can hear the notes to “behold the brave battalion that stands side by side” from seize the day. Its a little easter egg i thought i would point out!
DO YOU HEAR THE NEWSIES SING?! SINGING THE SONG OF ANGRY MEN…
Or the cast of Tangled charging to battle against Jack as Varian?
This is great.
HMMM
God I’ve met people like me 😊
Oh my god u this is favorite comment ever! My two favorite musicals in one!!
Favorite part... "Write it in ink or blood it's the same either way...they're gonna damn well pay
its really powerful
I like that one, my favorite one is "They think they're running this town but this town will shut down without us"
I read this just as they sang it.
Chills.
Same
"They think they're runnin' this town, but this town would shut down with out us!"
Probably my favorite line from the musical, there's so much power behind it! Always sends chills down my spine.
the power of the working class!

i always want to cry there and then i remember all the sequence in the musical and i start to cry :)

After the hundredth time listening, I still wind up breathless and with tears in my eyes. The way it builds... Cold chills.
This song just makes me want to get up and just scream as I sing along. And the harmonies are just too beautiful

I get to jam to this song at rehersals for the correct musical
I just did this!

This is so much better than the Disney movie version -- shows more of the desperation, determination, anger and pain. More realistic. Which is sad when you realize how bad it actually was.
I think some of the lyrics of the movie version are better but I agree that the sound and feeling of the musical version are more intense and fitting.
zachanikwano this is the disney movie virsion
no, this is the broadway musical version. the disney movie version was 1992.
Geety Roy um ya it was preformed on broadway but Disney still owns it
But it's not the Disney MOVIE version...
This is the ultimate "SHIZ IS GONNA GO DOOOOOOOOOOWWWNNNNN!" song.

Lol relatable
i know this comment is 2 years old but hi i love your profile pic

i love the final aggressive 'once and for all!' so much for some reason

Same here!
This and world will know are my go-to HW music! :D
Awesome
Yes! Lol I throw on Seize the Day, The World Will Know, and Once and For All when I am cleaning my store.
I am SOOO happy to be done with math.
That last note is absolutely crazy. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's a C# and I am a high tenor and that note SCARES ME! I can't believe they did this show 8 times a week. Absolutely amazing! I will always love Newsies
+Ninetales I think that's Katherine. but if not, I'm impressed.
I think it my be Jeremy singing that last note but I'm not 100% sure
The high C scares everyone...
I’m pretty sure it’s Davey’s little brother whatever his name is, it’s slipping my mind at the moment. But yeah I think it’s him and Katherine
His name is Les, and yeah that'd make sense.
The top harmonies in this song literally give me chills
When I listen to the song I always feel like getting up and leading a rebellion
Ikr! I legit was going to and then I realized, who the hell was I going to strike against?
sometheatrechick honestly same
Anissa Hotomani you could strike against homework
I do too, but then I remember I'm a lazy ass bitch
Rebellions are bad

I'm you'll do/did fine!! If you got chosen for singing it then you must be amazing!
we are actually performing it in my highschool and im the main from out of the 50 guys and I have to memorize all this music if I can sing all of that you could sing that so no pressure
don't worry i'm sure go did amazingly

THAT TOTAL CHANGE DURING 3:09 THOUGH AH
literal S H I V E R S
Got goosebumps 💖
Goosebumps
I GET C H I L L S LITERAL C H I L L S ❤️❤️❤️❤️
YES
I feel like this musical, and especially this song in particular, is really relevant nowadays.
Relevant is one word I love. Nothing like this comes out into the world every day as we all know
especially now lmao, a year later
the recent disney strike makes this relevant AND ironic
This was most relevant during the Russian Revolution IMO. This is what Marxist-Leninism is all about.
The BLM movement now just this years update
I feel this is especially relevant right now with the teenagers protesting gun violence nd promoting for stronger gun legislation.
Oh gosh I can see it.
The only thing is that in this song, the kids are the ones seeking violence.
Okay zoomer
Still relevant now haha
Still that way in 2020
“write it in ink or in blood it’s the same either way” *chefs kiss*

i my never know why but i love the line " once and for all if they don't mind their manners we'll bled 'em." i love the hole song because they prove you don't have to take any type of abuse!

Hearst, Delancy, Pulitzer, and a random cop disliked the song
And Snyder
Amanda W and me
weston407 why u do dis
don't forget Snyder the spider
Hahaha
The back and forth at the end with everyone saying “once and for all” gives me chills every time.
The beginning of this song (and other parts of it) gives me such a strong "No Day But Today" vibe from Rent with the melody.
"There's only us / There's only this / Forget regret / Or life's yours to miss"
I relistened to it. it's not the melody but you can definitely sing part of the Rent song with it to a point. I think there's a word for that.
The chord progression in the music is very similar
Nikki U. omg. I just watched the rent clip before to check this lol. but then my wifi died to it took like way longer than it should've sigh
I didn't 100% but I do get what you mean. I just saw Rent last month for the first time on tour in Costa Mesa. Rent was good but Newsies is better. A coincidence is both musicals first appeared on Broadway at the same theatre
I have no idea what I was trying to say lmao
It starts off so innocent and pure, and then-RAGE.

3:08 is like a golden move in just dance

Aah that C# is so awesome at the end
This song gives me chills everytime. You can hear the desperation and determination in their voice. 10/10 acting and singing in the musical
the tone differences from the beginning of the song, when it’s slow and the it suddenly spikes up to this angry beat and voices and it’s just great.

This song is the prefect blend of rebellion, pain, and glory.
And I love it so DANG MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the newsies too much. I've memorized the soundtrack and blend better with these recordings than with my actual choir..
when my youth theatre did this show i worked crew and cried every single time they sang this song it’s so powerful and moving
‘This town would shut down without us’ I keep listening to it over and over it’s ahh the harmonyy
God, 3:07 gives me chills. I'd probably cry if i saw it live
Nobody:
Absolutely no one:
Jack:"dO iT iN bLoOd!"
Talk about seizing the day
This is honestly my favorite song from the whole play. This and Santa Fe.
I just fell in love with newsies and this is going to always gonna be in my favorites :)
i was Race in newsies when i was eight and i burst in tears
In the first 7 seconds of this song you can hear the notes to “behold the brave battalion that stands side by side” from seize the day. Its a little easter egg i thought i would point out!
This is my favorite! Every time I hear it I start smiling :D
3:09 and the chills begin
So I listen to this song almost everyday and I love it. The emotion and the harmonies and everything is so amazing. Newsies is an amazing musical.
So do i
Me : Flash backs to endless hours of listening to newsies as a backstage crew member and only missing Once and for all that’s it
