[Angelica] I am sailing off to London
I am accompanied by someone who always pays
I have found a wealthy husband who will keep me in comfort for all my days
He is not a lot of fun, but there’s no one who can match you for turn of phrase
My Alexander
Angelica
Dont forget to write
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive, that would be enough
And if your wife could share a fraction of your time
If I could grant you peace of mind
Would that be enough?
Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a series of essays defending the new United States Constitution, entitled The Federalist papers.
The plan was to write 25 essays, the work divided evenly between the three men.
In the end, they wrote 85 essays, in a span of six months
John Jay got sick after writing five
James Madison wrote 29
HAMILTON WROTE… THE OTHER 51
How do you write like you're running out of time?
Write day and night like you’re running out of time?
Ev'ry day you fight like you'r running out of time
Like you're running out of time
Like you're running out of time
Are you running out of time?
How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive?
How do you write like you need it to survive?
How do you write ev'ry second you're alive
Ev'ry second you're alive
ev'ry second you're aLIVE
[Washington] They're asking me to lead, I am doing the best I can,
To get the people that I need, I'm asking you to be my right hand man.
[Hamilton] Treasury or State?
[C] I know it's a lot to ask,
[Hamilton] Treasury or State?
[Washington] To leave behind the world you know,
[Hamilton] Sir, do you want me to run the Treasury or State Department?
[Washington] Treasury.
[Hamilton] Let's go.
Alexander….
I have to leave.
Alexander.. Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now
Helpless
They are asking me to lead
Look around, isn’t this enough?
He will never be satisfied
He will never be satisfied
Satisfied
Satisfied
History has it's eyes on you
I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
I am Alexander Hamilton
I am not throwin' away my shot!
( I'm doing Dear Theodosia next because I was literally just listening to it >w< )
Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes
You have your mother’s name
When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
I'm dedicating every day to you,
Domestic life was never quite my style, when you smile
You knock me out, I fall apart.
And I thought I was so smart.
You will come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you
We'll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you
We'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Oh, Philip, when you smile I am undone,
My son. Look at my son!
Pride is not the word I'm looking for,
There is so much more inside me now.
(AAAAH MY HEART)
Oh, Philip, you outshine the morning sun, my son
And when you smile, I fall apart.
And I thought I was so smart.
[Hamilton] My father wasn't around
[Burr] My father wasn't around
[Hamilton and Burr] I swear that I'll be around for you
[Hamilton] I'll do whatever it takes
[Burr] I'll make a million mistakes
[Hamilton and Burr] I'll make the world safe and sound for you
