@@louisebarba8908 For sure.Atención and Alabanza too. In the heights is full of amazing songs. One that always makes me emotional is Breathe. That lyrics and Many Gonzales singing...it's amazing.
I've been a fan of Renee's for many years. I remember when she had gotten pretty far along in a pregnancy...then had to delivery a stillborn. She sang that song from the heart.
I cry buckets when I hear this song. But I cry over Hamilton's understanding of her pain. Of how he is brought to his knees and humbly stays by her side knowing that it's by her grace that he is even allowed to stand there. I am crying as I write this.
There are three moments related to Phillip's death in the show that always break me. 1. Eliza's scream of agony when Phillip actually dies. 2. When Alexander says "that would be enough" for the first time. Those are the exact words that Eliza used when she pled with him to put his family ahead of his ambition. In It's Quiet Uptown, it represents how Alexander, now at his lowest moment and having lost everything precious to him both personally and professionally, now more than anything in the world just wants to be by her side again. It shows how masterfully Lin uses those lyrical motifs to show character growth and change. 3. A grace too powerful to name . . . Forgiveness.
while all the “can you imagine?” and “the unimaginable” hurts every single time (cause like NO I CANT IMAGINE) the line that will always break me and always has is “the moments when you’re in so deep, it feels easier to just swim down”
Literally. All of them hit pretty hard for me (and I'm someone who's fiancee convinced me that we weren't ever going to be having children), but the "It's Quiet Uptown. Forgiveness......Can you imagine?" definitely hits the hardest for me, especially watching the movie and seeing Lin "break" (whether it's real or not, it's real af to me, lol). Just something about all the weight of the rest of the song, and what happened the rest of the show, just being materialized into the idea that Eliza was actually able to forgive Alexander. Something most of probably would never forgive someone for, but it really does take an extremely powerful person to go through all that and still choose to forgive her husband. And seeing/listening to that breaks me hard af. Lin is a literal freaking genius. Also proves that people can show sympathy towards someone losing a child, despite not having any. Something I can highly relate with.
The "forgiveness" is the one that always breaks me, (coz it's like after all Alexander did, eliza still forgave him) but it still doesn't make me cry, so when i say "break" i mean like my heart feels very painful but i don't shed tears
I lost my only child, my 21-yr-old son, in 2016. Eliza’s shock, numbness and needing space, the quiet uptown, was captured perfectly. I still can’t “get back to politics” rightly after that scene.
Such a powerful and beautiful song - I sobbed the first time I heard it. As a parent, .I haven't been through this kind of loss, and pray that I never have to go through it. But...it's beautiful that Lin gave voice to this grief - "the unimaginable" grief of losing a child - through this song and this story.
To me, the part where I cry the most is when Eliza starts speaking and Alexander cries on her shoulder (instead of her crying on his shoulder) . That just prooves how strong Eliza is.
I have never cried as many times watching a movie, let alone at any Broadway play I've seen, as I did with Hamilton the movie.... Even after watching it over and over non stop 2-3 days later since last Friday. I still cry. It all gets me every time. Just a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
What a great job Miss Goldsberry did with this great song. My favorite moment in this great musical. The theme of loss and finally finding the ability to forgive. Not blame, but forgive. Truly inspiring and moving, made even more poignant by Miss Goldsberry's incredibly thoughtful, emotional rendition. Wow. This song, this scene, a work of genius, well played by Miss Goldsberry, Lin Manuel Miranda and Philippa Soo. Forgiveness. We could all do with some of that. And more importantly, we can all do what is perhaps the most difficult thing to do. Truly forgive others. And all will be better for it.
That was so beautifully put. She's right, it is masterful. And having Eliza not talk is also incredibly moving. I hadn't thought about the choices he made, I was just so into the story.
Besides Helpless being one of my favorite song, my other favorite song is It's Quiet Uptown. It's such a beautiful song but at the same time, it's so heartbreaking. You can see and feel the pain Eliza and Hamilton feel after losing their son. 😭🤧
One of the best lines ever is "You have to be a parent ever though you don't get to have a child anymore." Which is so sad to think about, because no one has a kid with the expectation. Of you out living them.
had a few miscarriages before having her 2 kids :/ she subtlety alluded to it in her tony speech, but as always she’s taken it in stride. i admire her for it.
I first heard only the soundtrack of Hamilton to understand what the story is. It's Quiet Uptown left me bawling my eyes out. Continuously for 5 times when I heard that song. And the other one that made me tear up was Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story.
It's quiet uptown is so well writen.Lin is amazing when it comes to write really happy songs but he really can make you cry with his lyrics. Songs i feel super emotional when i hear it,not only because they're sad,but because of the beauty of the lyrics: The world was wide enough Stay alive(reprise) Who lives who dies who tells your story Burn Breathe Alabanza Finale(In the heights) It's almost like praying History has its eyes on you Finale(21 chump street) Wait for it Paciencia y fe Dear theodosia Hundreds of stories How far i'll go And a lot more...
I wish that she and Pippa or any other Broadway actresses had like an 'Actors on Actors' but just 'Singers on Singers'hours-long interview where they got really technical like 'Oh this show was the most demanding' and 'oh yes I really polished my passaggio in this year of school' and 'this was my favourite most valuable technique that I learned in'
I've never been so early on a vid and I'm here to stay (pun, you get me?) Anyway that songs is the utmost beautiful song. I always.. always cry when the piano line starts 😭😭😭
He even includes the ineffable qualities of grace and forgiveness, and does so perfectly. Makes me wonder if some people aren't just vessels to channel creativity for the enjoyment of the collective consciousness.
@@allysonmessina1785 I think it's a play on the idea that, not only is he a bit younger than her (her calling him "kid" could be an inside thing between them), but also the fact that someone inexperienced in something like having children is able to capture the emotion of losing one so brilliantly. Definitely ain't any kind of jab that's for true.
I cried ugly when he sang "If I could spare his life, If I could trade his life for mine. He'd be standing here right now, and you would smile, and that would be enough." It was very painful because of his regret. It was more emotional because when Lin sang this live he was also crying. 😢😢😢😢
HOLD ON! - how THE hell did I just realize she’s in the Altered Carbon Netflix series!? Lmaoo I literally never connected the dots. I had no idea she was an actress too! Mind blown...
This song starts to have a different meaning when your family has lost a child and i didn’t realise how different it would be until it happened to mine
There are moments that the words don't reach There is suffering too terrible to name You hold your child as tight as you can And push away the unimaginable The moments when you're in so deep It feels easier to just swim down The Hamiltons move uptown And learn to live with the unimaginable I spend hours in the garden I walk alone to the store And it's quiet uptown I never liked the quiet before I take the children to church on Sunday A sign of the cross at the door And I pray That never used to happen before Philip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown You knock me out, I fall apart Look at where we are Look at where we started I know I don't deserve you, Eliza But hear me out That would be enough If I could spare his life If I could trade his life for mine He'd be standing here right now And you would smile, and that would be enough I don't pretend to know The challenges we're facing I know there's no replacing what we've lost And you need time But I'm not afraid I know who I married Just let me stay here by your side That would be enough If you see him in the street, walking by her side Talking by her side, have pity Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown Look around, look around, Eliza (They are trying to do the unimaginable) There are moments that the words don't reach There is a grace too powerful to name We push away what we can never understand We push away the unimaginable They are standing in the garden Alexander by Eliza's side She takes his hand It's quiet uptown
(Forgiveness) Can you imagine? (Forgiveness) Can you imagine? If you see him in the street, walking by her side, talking by her side, have pity. They are going through the unimaginable.
Miguel Cervantes (current Alexander Hamilton) lost his daughter at 3 due to epilepsy. He can’t sing Dear Theodosia without getting emotional cause he didn’t get to watch his daughter come of age. How does he do It’s quiet uptown every night?
She struggled with fertility. She said this when she won her Tony award: “I would just love to say that if you know anything about me, I have spent the last 10 years of my life-what some would consider the life blood of a woman's career-just trying to have children. And I get to testify in front of all of you that the Lord gave me Benjamin and Brielle and he still gave me this,” she shared from the stage, holding her statue.
"It's Quiet Uptown" is definitely one of the best songs in Hamilton. You can feel the emotion in Renee's voice.
All of them are like...really feeling the lyrics.It's beautiful.I imagine Lin writing it.It must've been painful😂
It’s one of the best songs period. Phenomenal!
I cried so much as it started and throughout. But I absolutely lost it at "Forgiveness.... Can you imagine?".
i cry every time i hear it
For me, it is THE BEST song in Hamilton. At least, the one that hits the deepest
To me it's the saddest music Lin ever wrote.It's heartbreaking.
YES-the pure loneliness in the song alone, not to mention the heartbreak of losing a child/regret etc!
Pacencia Y Fe is up there. It makes me cry every single time.
@Sweet Sunflower yt Yeah.I just watched the video of this song.And man,it's heartbreaking
@@louisebarba8908 For sure.Atención and Alabanza too. In the heights is full of amazing songs. One that always makes me emotional is Breathe. That lyrics and Many Gonzales singing...it's amazing.

I've been a fan of Renee's for many years. I remember when she had gotten pretty far along in a pregnancy...then had to delivery a stillborn. She sang that song from the heart.
I had no idea ... and I can't imagine. No wonder she finds the exact feeling and tone to sing this song, it messes me up every time.
Wait she had a stillborn?! Poor Renée! She’s so strong!
Thank you, now I'm crying :) 💕
Andrea Segura sorry about that. But Renee actually has had 3 or 4 different miscarriages
That's.... unimaginable. Wow, I can see how Renee was cast as Angelica. They both stay(ed) strong, no matter what
I think everyone’s first reaction was tears.
I refuse to believe she is almost 50
she is flawless
WHAT?! SHE IS NOT. Damn, she looks amazing
Freaking incredible. If I didn’t know I honestly would have guessed high 20’s/low 30’s.

Exactly the same here. Its my favourite line in the show, so vivid and devastating.

i knooooooow i felt the same way when i listened properly to it

The fact that she gets emotional over the song shows how invested she is in this show and how empathetic she is.
Lin’s music is amazing. He’s mind is just so great. This song is so heartbreaking, and Lin captured it perfectly.
Renée Elise Goldsberry. Renée Elise Goldsberry. 🙇🏾♀️
I see a queen.
We will often refuse to extend forgiveness for the slightest insult. And then there’s this song... 🤩
aj71169 it is easy to forgive when the offender is contrite and remorseful. It is hard to forgive when they don’t think they’ve done anything wrong.
I lost my only child, my 21-yr-old son, in 2016. Eliza’s shock, numbness and needing space, the quiet uptown, was captured perfectly. I still can’t “get back to politics” rightly after that scene.

💗
I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
This song makes me cry every time. You can hear, feel, and see the emotion from everyone. So beautifully written and performed.
I am in awe of how wise she is, and how well she understands the characters
Im agreeing with Renee here, Its Quiet Uptown is a beautiful song and Lin wrote it very well💜
Such a powerful and beautiful song - I sobbed the first time I heard it. As a parent, .I haven't been through this kind of loss, and pray that I never have to go through it.

Her calling Lin a kid is funny, cause I always forget that she’s older than him.
but she means when he wrote it, he was kind of a kid back then
The one dislike is from the person who is jealous of how perfect Renee is
Talya Davids no, it’s from the interview being too short!
🤣 yeah... could be..but we have to admit... Renee is perfect!!
Every time this song plays, I cry. I don't have kids of my own, but I cannot imagine what it feels like.
I cry, sob whenever I watch and listen to this track! So much feels!!! They got you so invested in the characters/people, you already feel their pain!
What a great job Miss Goldsberry did with this great song. My favorite moment in this great musical. The theme of loss and finally finding the ability to forgive. Not blame, but forgive.

Did anyone else listen to “It’s Quiet Uptown” about 5 times in a row just to cry
That was so beautifully put. She's right, it is masterful. And having Eliza not talk is also incredibly moving. I hadn't thought about the choices he made, I was just so into the story.
Forgiveness. Can you imagine? The first time I heard that chord, I sobbed audibly on a plane. Those are my favorite lyrics in the whole show.
this song is so beautiful. lin is incredibly talented, and everyone who sang in it really made it what it is. just beautiful.
Renée is an angel
I cry every time I listen to that song. It’s such a painful process- dealing with the unimaginable.
literally the first few keys make me bawl
I agree.
And appreciate your username
Besides Helpless being one of my favorite song, my other favorite song is It's Quiet Uptown. It's such a beautiful song but at the same time, it's so heartbreaking. You can see and feel the pain Eliza and Hamilton feel after losing their son. 😭🤧
One of the best lines ever is "You have to be a parent ever though you don't get to have a child anymore." Which is so sad to think about, because no one has a kid with the expectation. Of you out living them.
Hamilton's reaction when Eliza forgives him just makes me crumble inside. Lin-Manual Miranda is a genius - it's as simple as that.
like that reaction is the definition of ✨ugly sobbing✨
Been a fan of hers since OLTL
She was so talented even back then.
Me too
Me too. Evangeline!
When I was a kid I saw her in the indie film All About You ... she was phenomenal
Oh I didn't know she lost a child :(
had a few miscarriages before having her 2 kids :/ she subtlety alluded to it in her tony speech, but as always she’s taken it in stride. i admire her for it.
Shes an awful lot stronger than I could ever be.I would never sing that song 8x a week for years after going through that.
Me?
@Aidan Bavinton ohh
Hello Elizabeth how is Peggy?
I first heard only the soundtrack of Hamilton to understand what the story is. It's Quiet Uptown left me bawling my eyes out. Continuously for 5 times when I heard that song. And the other one that made me tear up was Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story.
The moment I saw "It's Quiet Uptown" on disney+, and i saw the expression on Lin's face, i realized that *tears really do be salty doe*
She’s so stunning and so talented!!
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
"Forgiveness, can you imagine"
Is a line that always hits hard in the spot, always...
It's quiet uptown is so well writen.Lin is amazing when it comes to write really happy songs but he really can make you cry with his lyrics. Songs i feel super emotional when i hear it,not only because they're sad,but because of the beauty of the lyrics:
The world was wide enough
Stay alive(reprise)
Who lives who dies who tells your story

It's almost like praying
History has its eyes on you
Finale(21 chump street)
Wait for it

How far i'll go
And a lot more...
I cried even listening to her talking about the song. It is that powerful.
Renee is so beautiful and talented. She is a joy to watch perform ^_^
The part where my heart breaks is when Eliza say to Alex '' It's quite uptown'' Idk whyyy
I wish that she and Pippa or any other Broadway actresses had like an 'Actors on Actors' but just 'Singers on Singers'hours-long interview where they got really technical like 'Oh this show was the most demanding' and 'oh yes I really polished my passaggio in this year of school' and 'this was my favourite most valuable technique that I learned in'
it’s quiet uptown makes me bawl my eyes
it hurts to see lin sob & cry during the show
I've never been so early on a vid and I'm here to stay (pun, you get me?)
Anyway that songs is the utmost beautiful song. I always.. always cry when the piano line starts 😭😭😭
She thought "This kid is insane"
"man"
Hamilton was the first movie that made me cry. It was during this song.
I dont have any children but I cry my eyes out every damn time
I cant listen to this song without crying
She’s lost a child? Oh god
Unfortunately it's very common
Yeah actually it is really common, my mother had like 4 or 5 miscarriages before she had me (and another after I was born)
I know, so sad - she said “children”.
Awww. Sad
She had 3 or 4 miscarriages and delivered a stillborn child

What a beautiful way to put it.

This song starts to have a different meaning when your family has lost a child and i didn’t realise how different it would be until it happened to mine
So sorry to hear that. Praying comfort for you
It's haunting for sure. It stays with you long after the performance is over.
There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down
The Hamiltons move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable
I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before
Philip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown
You knock me out, I fall apart
Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza
But hear me out
That would be enough
If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
And you need time
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough
If you see him in the street, walking by her side
Talking by her side, have pity
Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown
Look around, look around, Eliza
(They are trying to do the unimaginable)
There are moments that the words don't reach
There is a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
They are standing in the garden
Alexander by Eliza's side
She takes his hand
It's quiet uptown
(Forgiveness)
Can you imagine?
(Forgiveness)
Can you imagine?
If you see him in the street, walking by her side,
talking by her side, have pity.
They are going through the unimaginable.
she's so distractingly beautiful.. i watched this video twice and i didnt pay attention to what she said both the times
why did i not cry i feel emotional though......
Renee is so strong 😭💕 now I'm crying
Btw: she called Lin a kid HAHAHAHAH Lin is a kid in an adult body, he is a genius Linnamon roll ✨
He is also a few years younger than her.
I don't get all the hate on Lin.He's the writer of the show.Without him...there will be no show.I'll never understand why people don't like him.
Wait-- WHO'S HATING ON LIN???
I’m crying a bit here😓❤️😥
How is Renee 49? she looks so young oh my goodness!!
i cried so much while the "It's Quiet Uptown" part came on ;(
And now....I honestly do not know how Miguel performs & gets through this song every performance knowing what he went through. Devastating :( .
Wow wow wow!
My reaction: I’m not crying you’re crying
I can’t believe she’s almost 50 but she also isn’t human.
oh hi angelica
Peggy Schuyler omg peggyyyy
Peggy Schuyler my sister
Peggy Schuyler I have to subscribe to my sister :D
I came here from a groffsauce and Lin comp LMAO🤣
I’m not a parent. I’m a daughter. Losing my mom is my worst fear.
The biggest mistake from parents is thinking that if someone has never had kids, that they wouldn’t understand anything involving kids...
Miguel Cervantes (current Alexander Hamilton) lost his daughter at 3 due to epilepsy. He can’t sing Dear Theodosia without getting emotional cause he didn’t get to watch his daughter come of age. How does he do It’s quiet uptown every night?
❤❤❤
Sounds like she had a miscarriage :///
She struggled with fertility. She said this when she won her Tony award:
“I would just love to say that if you know anything about me, I have spent the last 10 years of my life-what some would consider the life blood of a woman's career-just trying to have children. And I get to testify in front of all of you that the Lord gave me Benjamin and Brielle and he still gave me this,” she shared from the stage, holding her statue.
More than one.
Omg you are amazing I am doing a play about Hamilton and I am Angelica
216 years ago today, Alexander Hamilton died.
The ongoing question for many is should we keep treading water?
Wasn’t Dear Theodosia inspired by Lin’s dog?

Some people just get waayy more than their share of desirable human attributes. It must be nice, it must be nice...
Kid? The person who wrote it was a kid?
No, Miranda's just way younger than Goldberry.
okay who the f disliked mfs
Why dose she call Lin a kid?
why is there no word for women who loses a child?
Because there's no word in any language that could nearly describe it.
