Aida - Written In The Stars

Written In The Stars from the Broadway musical Aida, with music and lyrics by Tim Rice and Elton John. I do not own anything. All rights belong to Tim Rice, Elton John, and Universal Distribution
Aida:
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me and wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so long ago so well
Radames:
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
For some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
Aida:
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
Radames:
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
Aida & Radames:
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
Aida:
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Aida & Radames:
For some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day

Why is Aida so underrated when a masterpiece love story and music like this exists!

[@shannonelmore7587]

Aida should be another Disney princess

[@maicey_t.]

Disney had an Aida movie in the works for a while before eventually scrapping the project. I'll be forever salty about it.

[@flanplan5903]

@@maicey_t. well, who knows? Maybe they could surprise us and announce a movie on the way.

[@Sasbatabata]

Adam, never stop singing. Ever. I don't care if you die. Just sing yourself to life again. That voice. -melts-

[@manuelorozco7760]

I loved his performance as Roger in the big screen version of Rent

[@abelincolnlover2470]

First time listening to any song from Aida, instantly recognize Adam Pascal's voice... so recognizable

[@manuelorozco7760]

I have four songs from Aida on my old ITunes. I never seen it in person before but I downloaded them to hear Heather Headley sing. I've been a fan of her since my mom bought her first album This is Who I Am back in 2003.

[@anabriones5297]

First time listening to Aida... he's Theo from School of Rock!! That's why he's so familiar!

[@Yumi_Jay]

In June of 2013 I got the fortunate chance of being a part of this musical with a wonderful cast of crew at my community theatre. The leads who were 18 and 19 at the time was so wonderful and the girl playing Aida has a beautiful voice. She totally rock Aida's songs.

[@ajsamehmedovic3308]

I did the same thing !! Just in the summer of 2016

[@ajsamehmedovic3308]

+Ajsa Mehmedovic ops 2015😅

[@manuelorozco7760]

I never seen Aida before but I can easily recognize Heather Headley's voice anywhere! Aida is one musical I want to see one day no matter who plays the title role.

[@Mrnickstr89]

There’s a bootleg of the OG cast here on KZbin. Not gonna link to it cause I don’t want it to get taken down. It’s worth watching. You think Headley is awesome as a singer ..... ooooo boy just wait till you see her performance.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Nick Piacente I’ll take your word

[@jaywest3734]

@Nick Piacente Deborah Cox is good too.

[@cyanide006]

I saw this musical years ago, I still get goosebumps and start crying when he first says "Is it written in the stars?"

[@MrGabeanator]

ELTON JOHN and TIM RICE ladies and gentlemen

[@veronicageorge3825]

Didn't they compose songs for the lion king and some other disney movie ?

[@starrynights1067]

Saw this musical years ago. Cried like a baby when it ended. Beautifuly written (in the stars) as a whole

[@magiv4205]

I watched this musical yesterday... I cried *,__,*

[@isabelsummers8017]

[@johntyler3544]

2:27 to the end, just...oh my god, I tear-up every time...

[@djcrystal25]

I love this musical song. My classmates and I did this musical play at University in 2000s. I can still remember all the songs. // KKU - Thailand

[@nesslam4832]

i used to have this song in my songbook as a kid and would play and sing it. I've actually never listened to the song before so I'm amazed by both of their voices!

[@annaelizabeth5536]

I would love to see this show. The music is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Sometimes I want to travel back to 2000 and see Heather and Adam in the show myself.

[@isabelsummers8017]

I'm loving this song from my sister sing this song for her school

[@amethystrain8553]

Sang this song in 6th grade chorus and haven't been able to find it until now. 6 years and I still love it just as much.

[@KyleOgilvie1]

[@christyj1009]

[@carleykolsch3797]

What a gorgeous song, always puts me in a good mood.

[@shannonelmore7587]

I am learning about Egyptian art and this reminds me of it

[@officialvaclavmock]

It´s beautiful in Czech´s version too. It´s singing Dasha and Václav "Noid" Bárta. This song is in Czech´s language "Co je psáno ve hvězdách" :)

[@user-kl8zx5dy8h]

다시들을수있어서감사합니다. 감사합니다..

[@isabelsummers8017]

I'm loving this song from my sister sing this song from the musical theatre class at her last year school

[@sertorrhenclegane]

Sometimes, I develop a strange obsession with the way actors say a certain line or sing a certain lyric. This song is one of those strange obsessions and how Adam sings the line, "In which we have no say." I don't know why I love it so much, I just do.

[@Chloe11Buttons09]

his voice is beauts :')

[@crazyforNarnia1]

for some reason this was playing in a diner earlier tonight

[@bowmansu]

I think the female voice is Heather Headley. The male voice is Adam Pascal.

[@veronicageorge3825]

Correct

[@angiegaryson2297]

I named my daughter Aida

[@werewolf61636]

yes he was

[@TheGinster123]

How do you think this'd sound on an ukulele?

[@emilykrouse2669]

i did this song for my play @ school, but it got cut short because we had only an 1 and 30 minutes to use for our play.

[@dominicanmami02]

yes he was roger!

[@annachum4690]

WHY DOES THIS REMIND ME OF STAR LORD X GAMORA???? ( intense crying )

[@kungfuninja55]

afingwen, if you have a recording of the bows music or the exit music could you please post it, I played this show and those were my favorites.

[@aniles1989]

Disney need to buy the rights

[@manuelorozco7760]

Disney does have the rights because they originally produced Aida on Broadway

[@MrGabeanator]

they need to make film of it then I think they're halfway there already

[@manuelorozco7760]

Totally and I will watch it no matter who is in the two leads.

[@MrGabeanator]

ok but just for the record anyone In mine

[@manuelorozco7760]

MrGabeanator Not at the moment
