This 40 seconds of music belongs in the library of congress simply for its beauty. OMFG one of the most beautiful passages of music in the recorded history of music. Alfie Boe is the most talented actor who has ever played the role of Jean Valjean and I will not be changing my mind. It is a crime this key change is not in the main version of Les Miserables and is only in this one YouTube video, not even on Spotify!! #BringTheBHMKeyChangeToSpotify!!! Absolutely the most beautiful key change in any Broadway song it brought me to literal tears the first time I heard it. Your life is not complete until you have listened to this key change. And then when the rest of them come in on "If I Die" and Alfie sings that high ass note OMFOSEIHGKSDFK i can't its so good it's so good. THE STRINGS omg the strings blossoming just as the key change hits-honestly the strings throughout are just magnificent-and THE HORNS WHEN THEY SING IF I DIE it's like the gates of heaven are opening for my ears every time I listen to this. It deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore of music just for the instrumental. And their voices are all so powerful and delicate they blend together perfectly. Anyway I want this to be the last 40 seconds of sound I hear before I leave this earth. Priceless.
