Look at them squirm like worms in mud,
Blaming a ghost who's flesh and blood.
Crossing the line, tossing the dice,
Making decisions and paying the price.

I tend to listen more to music than to lyrics. Consonantly dissonant chords capture my attention. All those 7-chords... <3

If I were really a ghost, my dear,
I'd find a better Hell than here!

Thus being a difference. Ken Hill didn't write any of his own music, merely lyrics. The music is all operas.

[YourToxicButterfly]

I don't think I've heard much of Ken Hill...
But Alonso.... heart
And Y/K... *huggles Y/K!Erik*

Ah, so that's why there are no weird chords.

I've heard the edited version of While Floating High Above. I like it, but Erik's voice seems to be a little lacking.

As previously determined in the old official board, Y/K Erik is mine! *runs off with him so he cant get shot by the police and or his father*

Erik's voice isn't really lackin. You just need listen to it. It's written differently. It's not written like others.

Alonso= super win
Ken Hill = super win
Yeston/Kopit=super win
Andrew Lloyd Webber=super win
David Staller=win

Luv David Staller, but it lost serious brownie points with me with the Erik/Meg ending.

Man I cried so hard when I saw Yeston/Kopit. Not even the end either. The My mother bore me part. He was crying. I was crying. Mum was jumpy and expecting more explosions, and dad was in shock because unlike me and mum, he had not been spoiled to 2nd row seats, till then.

Erik/Meg ending...?

[The Opera Toast]

David Staller. Erik went for meg after losing 'The only love of his life', Christine.

I want to see Y/K live.

I just stop before the end of Stallah, at the end of Love Me for Me. No super-fast recovery scene.

Alonso = BEST MUSIC EVAR
Webber = showiest and Howie-est <3
Y/K = making-me-raise-my-eyebrows-in-amusement-est
Stallah = most hilarious
Ken Hill = most unknown to me

I'd find a better Hell than here!

[The Opera Toast]

Alonso = Awesome music and actually accurate to leroux!
Webber = nice music and effects, draws you in
Y/K = full of awesome and realness
Stallah = odd but nice
Ken Hill = freaking most hilarious version eva

mmk. I must be off to clean or sleep maybe.

[TheAngelsWeepTonight]

Clean sleep!

What would Erik dream about...

Christine, magical lands, Christine, losing his deformity, Christine, weird things in the opera house, and Christine.

*Nods slowly*

Erik writing his fanfic of himself and Christine, and Christine finding it!

Or sweet, sweet dreams of punjabbing Raoul.... heart

Yay for a new thread!

[Bleeding Art]

Morning, Thread! :3

I had a dream lasst night (yeah, PotO-related) that I was having fits finding a costume. For Halloween or a masquerade, I can't remember. Anyway, in lieu of a good costume, I was going to go as Erik. Only, I was wearing a lime green suit, a mask made for a child, and fuzzy gloves.

So, here's a question: Would Erik be caught in public with the outfit I just described?

[TheAngelsWeepTonight]

I say aww hecks no! xD
