in another version of this song it was said that Hamilton wore his glasses to see if Burr was softening up (wont follow through)

[@ThaAlkaholik13]

"Now I'm the villain in your history..." What a sad line. Can't believe they made me feel sorry for Burr.

[@oworina]

Burr wasn't really a bad man. he just wanted a legacy as much as Hamiltion.

[@oworina]

+Emma Reisig you win 😂

[@sunwukong824]

In actuality, Burr was a bad man. He wrote in a letter that he felt no regret for killing Hamilton. And, he tried to sell out the United States to a foreign country. He was a cold-blooded murderer and traitor. In the musical, however, one can not help but sympathize for him.

[@oworina]

+Jenny Weng tru

[@poopoo-sy9xx]

+Jenny Weng actually the selling out part is disputed as Jefferson arrested him with no proof

[@ixxEnchantedLuvxx]

"Now I'm the villain in your history." Ouch. Right between the ribs. Ouch...

[@jenniferconnolly9968]

Or maybe I should just Rise up above this and count to ten- (retching noises)

[@thegoombrat8198]

I read somewhere that the reason Hamilton died was because burr and Hamilton knew each other too well. Burr saw Hamilton as someone who would act quickly, impulsively and "wouldn't throw away his shot". Whereas Hamilton saw Burr as someone who was calm, standing at the sides to see what would happen the taking action and "waiting for it". So the reason Hamilton died was because Burr thought Hamilton would fire and Hamilton thought Burr wouldn't fire.

[@garfieldbiggestfan3443]

The Goombrat did you mean wouldnt fire???

[@thegoombrat8198]

yeah.

[@DJFlare84]

That makes a lot of sense, actually. lol

[@rowinwan1]

There's a lot of different sources though. According to an article Hamilton actually cheated with his weapon, but he missed and burr ended up hitting. Another source, however, claimed that Hamilton missed on purpose, hitting the tree behind Burr. If you google it you'll find many different scenarios, and I guess it's really hard to determine what's true in the end :p

Tнe Crazy Sυgar Addιcт hate him, his daughter was all grown up and he really wanted to hurt Hamilton

[@AloeVxra26]

In real life, Burr left a letter before going in to dueling with Hamilton, and he specified that he did not want to duel, nor find them an appropriate means of solving issues. He didn't want to hurt Hamilton, he was only acting on panic and instinct. Giraffe Sketch

his daughter was grown up, in her early twenties, *married* and has children. meanwhile, hamilton had several very young children. plus, burr was never a good guy irl. he was kind of an asshole. they say that later when he was older, he realized that 'the world was wide enough for me and hamilton'. 'i was too young and blind to see' BURR WHAT THE FUCK YOU WERE 48?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@purin5167]

Washington already know it because he was watching from the other side :u

[@Voxaints]

Did you recognize, that after Burr shot him, there's a drum in the background sounding like a disturbed heartbeat, as if the bullet entered between his ribs. And when Burr sings that Eliza and Angelica were both at his side when he died, the drum is replaced by a clock bell and then there is silence. As if Hamilton's heart stopped beating. When Phillip dies in Stay Alive Reprise, it's exactly the same.

[@nicholasdrost693]

The drum beat comes back though

[@emmalaitur351]

My guess is that it's Burr's heartbeat that we hear at 4:27 to 4:44, since Hamilton is no longer alive to this point.

[@BurrShotHam711Jenna]

the bass thumping after the part when Burr shouts WAIT! is Alex's heartbeat (from 3:12-3:55) till the bell tolling his death (3:56) the rest of the bass thumping is Burr's

sarahistotallyacat Doesn't change the fact that she would have been made an orphan...

[@kristahochhalter2718]

I know everyone says his daughter was in her twenties, but he didn't want to make her an orphan because even as an adult, back then orphans were not seen as intellegent and were often judged. Not only that, Burr knows what it's like to have no family. If Hamilton died his children wouldn't have been orphaned. They still would've have Eliza. That's what I think, anyway.

[@thebeelikneeli3142]

Friendly reminder! Aaron burr was Hamilton's inspiration to try anything he ever did. Who would've known that Burr would have been the one to kill him?

[@rockagold3819]

Gwenyth Morris I know but THere's no stopping my sweaty eyes

[@fynnleyreader3511]

"This is a man with a marksmen ability" So it occurred to me that this isn't exactly common knowledge, so I'll share it here. This is around the late 1700/early 1800. Back then, a guns recoil was _awful_ and would kick a person back by several feet. ((Not a gun expert, don't quote me on this)) So, back then, a marksman would be a person who could hold a rifle and shoot it, and have the shot be accurate from a few hundred yards away. Essentially, he's a sniper. Now, Hamilton being a marksman meant that during the revolution, he wouldn't be on the front line, so to speak. He'd be hidden in the tree's and shoot from there, trying to kill off as many of the redcoats as possible. -"We almost died in a trench while you were getting high with the french!"- Now, they're only ten paces away from each other, and Hamilton has _every_ opportunity to shoot Burr and instantly kill him, but he doesn't. He honored the words that he said to his son.

[@elanamarie7041]

Basically burr was paranoid and almost certain he would shoot him.

[@thursdaynightcrank]

+Elana Marie the fact that Hamilton wore his glasses threw him off pretty hard.

[@crazedcat27]

Can someone please explain what happened and why Alex pointed his gun upwards? Sorry, I dont really understand that part :(

[@fynnleyreader3511]

Audhora Rahman "We were near the same spot his(my) son died-" Alex told Phillip to not shoot George, and to point his gun upwards. However, George cheated and shot Phillip at seven. Now, assuming that Phillip _didn't_ tell his father what happened, Alexander took the blame thinking that his son would be alive if he hadn't told him to shoot upwards. Now, however, he assumes that Burr won't actually shoot him, but whether he does or not doesn't really matter - Hamilton is going to honor the words he told his son when he died.

[@BigCupcakeify]

In real life Philip and George stood for about a minute after counting before George shot.

[@bananawanable]

There's something so emotional about the way Burr says "I get a drink"

[@leoisawake4934]

you think it's the little orchestra after?

[@_sine_]

Or maybe it's because Burr and Hamilton were once drinking buddies in the beginning of the play, where Burr asks Hamilton "Can I buy you a drink?". But now he drinks alone seeing that he literally just killed his drinking buddy.

[@hearttune98]

"History obliterates every picture it paints. It paints me and all my mistakes. When Alexander aimed at the sky, he may have been the first to die, but I'm the one who paid for it." I love how Lin-Manuel and Leslie showed both sides to the villain and the hero. The hero cheated on his wife and was sometimes an arrogant, pompous ass. The villain was a loving husband, father and believer in equality in education (look it up). If you read what happened to Aaron Burr after the duel with Hamilton, you'd be hard-pressed not to shed a sympathetic tear for him.

[@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595]

@@valhalla4558 He didn't marry a 12 year old, both his wives were over 20 by the time he married, he didn't try to annex Mexico, he tried to create an independent state in the North of Mexico (And he might've not even been involved in the plot), and I doubt he'd try to name himself Emperor as he abided well to the constitution

[@Dfoskdty]

Lets name the musical Burr An American musical

[@nicolewhinnett641]

This is perfect in so many ways... But what I love most is that his last thought before he is shot is of Eliza. After all they went through, it's comforting to see he really did love her in contrast to his affair and letters to Angelica. 💜

[@jannapangan511]

Angelica?? I thought it was Maria Reynolds??

[@nicolewhinnett641]

+Kuro- tan Yeah, the affair was with Maria, but he sent 'romantic' letters to Angelica! :) They clearly had feelings for each other, but the fact that Hamilton's last thought is of Eliza instead of either of them, shows he actually loves her rather than just her title :) x

[@jannapangan511]

[@rosewater-constellation7421]

Listen to the Dear Theodosia reprise, that's when Leslie proved to me that he's amazing.

[@dancingcarapace]

Something I think about too much: In 'The World Was Wide Enough' when Hamilton is having an internal monologue (a reprise of a reprise of his original lines from 'My Shot') his voice begins to crack and get louder as he says "Rise up". _Hamilton was having a panic attack at suffering the same fate as his son, the same spot his son died, at the hands of his first friend._ And after he cries out Eliza's name he _calms down._ And if you recall, Eliza says in 'Non-Stop' "If I could grant you peace of mind, that would be enough." And in the end, it _was_ enough. Alexander found peace in just the mere thought of his wife's name, Damn you Lin-Manuel and your impeccable writing

[@latenightcashews]

when burr sings "they wont teach you this in your classes" it sends a chill through my body because it's clearly referencing what philip told hamilton in Blow Us All Away "(this is my very first duel) they dont exactly teach this subject in boarding school"

When I learned about Alexander Hamilton in school all I knew was that he made a debt plan that was later changed. Also that he died in a useless duel but he was a useless founding father so it didn't matter. My tea her even made fun at him for aiming at the sky. He told us that he was such idiot he aimed for the sky and died. Then I listened to this musical and it just makes me so upset about how after all he's done he was portrayed as idiot who didn't know how to use a gun. That's why I'm glad Lin made this and brought to our attention that a lot of our the history we are taught is not in the least bit accurate. It kinda opened my eyes to our education system and how people go down in history. Okie rant over please enjoy the song :)

[@ashstarofriverclan4631]

Like quite a few of the original cast they performed this so many times that they said that they eventually needed a break. However in one of his interviews Lin-Manuel Miranda did say that he will be returning to the role of Hamilton, as well as saying in a post (I believe) that somewhere in the future they will release a DVD with it recorded so that's something to look forward too. Still, I wish I could see Leslie Odam Jr and the rest live.

Despite people preferring the horrified, shattered Burr, he was actually not affected at all from Hamilton's death. He went and had breakfast nonchalantly right after, not giving a damn that tons hated him. He was so content with the fact that the man who tried to ruin his legacy was on the other side of the Hudson dead. And then he was wondering "Why am I being sent to court?"

[@kaleyn3933]

I cried at the part where Burr is saying "This man will not make an orphan of my daughter." Because his voice cracks, he's all she has left, her mom is dead, and I think he thought about Theodosia's death and was very emotional. He was scared. And now everyone says he's the bad guy. My poor baby lol. I love Hamilton don't get me wrong but I feel like at most points he was truly asking for it...

[@megasauruss]

Burr: I won't let this man make an orphan of my daughter who is happily married and over the age of twenty, so I'll kill Alex who will be leaving his wife with six kids and one of them disabled.

[@kaleyn3933]

Okay, true, true. It was a dick thing to do. But he was probably also thinking that Alex's wife is alive so his kids would still have a mother to look up to, take their grandkids to, while his daughter wouldn't have him anymore. I just think that he made a promise to himself to not die that way because his wife died and he basically swore to be there for Theodosia. He also regretted shooting when Alex had his gun in the air. He was full of guilt, regret, and maybe even some sorrow and sadness over the fact that Alex isn't in his life anymore. But that's just me. I know that by this time in history, Theodosia was grown and married, and I know that Alex had more than one child and that one of those children were disabled. This song just makes me feel a lot of emotions. Sorry.

[@megasauruss]

Merlin No need to apologise at the end there haha It is a very emotional song, I cried out my heart and soul when I heard it, even though I knew how Hamilton died ;-;

[@kaleyn3933]

Yeah, and I also just love Leslie, he's one of my favorite singers anyways, and he just gives me the feelings.

[@annamannix9695]

Wow I was definitely agreeing with the other person before I saw your comment. I love it when people offer me a different perspective. I think that either man dying would have had a serious effect on their family but in vastly different ways. For Hamilton, his family would take a serious blow and struggle without him, especially Eliza. On the other hand, Theodosia is the only one in Burr's family so there are less people who would be mourning. Although less people would mourn for Burr, Theodosia would have no one to grieve with as she is on her own as a young lady in society, although she is independent and living away from her father

[@ThomasG_]

Okay, this will take a while, but bear with me: Listen to "My Shot." Specifically, the part at 3:10 where the chorus sings "Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh." Now, listen to the high-pitched, echoing notes as Burr speaks in this song, starting at 0:09 Do you hear that? "Everybody sing: Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh..."

[@mirandabee2323]

Good catch!

[@ThomasG_]

Miranda Bee Thank you!

[@masonmclaughlin931]

+Fangers •_• I like that idea but I think the first time it happens was in right hand man. It seems to happen at times of tension between burr and Hamilton which is interesting as well i believe it first happens around when Washington kicks burr out, then it happens in what did I miss when burrs being a wee dickbag and then here (if anyone can prove me wrong then please let me know, I may just be overanalysing)

[@spicebagconnoisseur8470]

Fangers •_• when did Lauren's die? Is it in one of the songs?

[@ThomasG_]

The iron that V uses To iron Jin in FIRE mv It's a very short song called "the Laurens interlude" just before non-stop. I have no idea why it's not on the soundtrack.

You can only barely imagine it... Burr and Hamilton, at a bar, having a drink, and just being good friends, no grudge against each other, full respect... ...And no dumb duels

[@EroticMammoth]

He just wanted to be in the room where it happens

[@ravlolii5325]

Erotic Mammoth that's the only reason they dueled, Burr was jealous, he knew Hamilton was better, he didn't want him around

[@dumbidot1073]

[@Kiki-fs1mv]

I was in my APUSH class and we were talking about Burr, and how he got tried for treason by Jefferson for trying to form his own country and all that, and so I was just like "he couldn't be in the room where it happens, so he attempted to make the room where it happens" and the entire class was just like "oh god, stop it with the damn Hamilton references"

in the end, Burr became Hamilton and Hamilton became Burr. Burr didn't throw away his shot, and Hamilton waited for it. They literally completed each other's own flaws and faults.

when burr said WAIT! i was sooo close to crying.

i just noticed it too, that was kinda cool, i like the snow effect at 3:35

[@jangabarnhart3444]

Act 1. Burr: Alexander, can we agree that duels are dumb and immature? Act 2. Burr: *shoots Hamilton in a duel*

[@ana_sorn]

I want to cry ;-; I want to hate Burr but I really can't, when he said that he didn't want his daughter to become a orphan, and that now he is the villain in your history What has Hamilton done to me

[@dodo7983]

[@yumohigurashi106]

Aaron's 'WAIT! ' was full of regret when he noticed Alexander aimed the gun at the sky. ((Also admit it.You said wait at the same time.))

[@RuptimusPrime]

The reason he sees both Philip and Laurens on the other side is because they're the same person

[@Addi6500andVmc454]

Alexander Hamilton's last words weren't recorded. After he was shot, he kept rambling and refused to just die.

[@megasauruss]

Typical Hamilton. I read that no one actually knows what his last words were because he just wouldn't stop talking.

[@zahraz8741]

That "WAIT!" just sucks the life out of your soul, doesn't it?

[@rinscar]

My favorite part of the whole song is "Look him in the eye, aim no higher, summon all the courage you require." I love Burr's voice and the interments. Just me? Okay

[@sdpacker157]

No not just u that's my favorite part too

[@bubblesaur10]

Its like when hamilton is singing all the songs as hes dying his life is flashing before his eyes

[@machaelamcqueen883]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Eliza was the reason why Hamilton calmed down from his Anxiety...He thought of her in his last moments.

[@milica2110]

[@naiateree8915]

I barely kept from crying when Hamilton said freedom, his last word was freedom. He deserves freedom

[@cipherfresh]

In real life alexander mumbled a bunch of stuff until he died, and nobody has an exact last quote for him. The doctors knew he died when he finalLY SHUT UP.

[@latenightcashews]

omg

[@Moocow2003]

which is why he's relatable to me I would probably die wondering if caramel would burn if I put it in a traybake or if I should just... *bleh* the last-words-speech would start with me noting that eggs don't break as easily from the top

[@teensytam]

*_"He aims his pistol at the SKY?! WAIT!"_* that hit me in my heart so hard. also when he says he's the villain in the books, that makes me feel like I SHOULD'VE TAKEN THE BULLET

[@heliiskuulman3098]

And now let's ruin the song with a quote from Burr himself: "Ah yes, Hamilton. My friend. Whom I shot."

Elias Guermazi he did target practice before the duel, which is typically looked down upon, but he did it anyway

[@meanfire7716]

Well he was aiming for Hamilton's eyes according to the song and he shot him right between his ribs so yeah pretty bad shot

[@prettymhat04ify]

No, he was actually aiming for more of a warning shot.. He didn't actually mean to shoot Alexander, he was aiming to miss but since he was a terrible shot he ended up shooting Alexander in between his ribs.

[@andreeaalbu6406]

Wait! Really?

[@edily8872]

The entirety of Hamiltons last speech makes me so emotional holy shit

[@heliiskuulman3098]

So this was Burr's way of thanking Hamilton for the endorsement for Jefferson?

[@thatreallylongusernameonyo3904]

Burr was running against Jefferson for president; Hamilton turned him down. The same happened when he ran for senator, so he challenged him to a duel

[@Addi6500andVmc454]

It was a joke.. Jefferson said at the end of The Election Of 1800 "Burr, when you see hamilton, thank him for the endorsement."

[@thatreallylongusernameonyo3904]

[@Addi6500andVmc454]

That Really Long Username On KZbin That's Stupid Lol

[@monarcaforasteira]

Burr: My fellow soldiers will tell you / I'm a terrible shot *shots right between the ribs*

[@thegoombrat8198]

Moiselle Burr was actually a good shot. Either historical inaccuracy or it shows that Burr is an unreliable narrator. He's scared and panicking and thinks he's going to die, so he makes false memories that he's a well known terrible shot and Hamilton is a man with a sharpshooters aim. Also since Burr sees Hamilton as someone as impulsive who is non stop he would have thought Hamilton would shoot.

[@alexlopez9695]

I like how the musical's poster shows Hamilton pointing towards the sky. Makes you wonder if they intended to foreshadow his death this way or just thought the pose was fitting.

[@codycornycollins8978]

One word: pain

[@moggyjohnny3381]

Burr's voice crack on the word daughter breaks my heart

[@mirandamobley9904]

Around 3:30, Aaron Burr, Sir, plays in a different key for Burr's verses. The most awful thing about it is it's only half of the melody because Hamilton's part isn't sung anymore. That symbolism is what gets me the most

[@actualtrash4437]

Honestly the reason I cry every time I hear this damn song it isn't because Hamilton dies because I knew that but it's because of the desperation in Hamilton's voice that I start to cry. When he starts singing a few lines from other songs it just becomes too much tbh.

[@biteki4435]

Emotional lines- "Your son died is that why?!" "THIS MAN WILL NOT MAKE AN ORPHAN OF MY DAUGHTER!" "Burr... my first friend my enemy." "I get a glimpse of the other side" "Eliza!" "My love take your time" "WAIT!"
