OR could you do a short video explaining how to use this spottery program? I've never used it, and my wife and I are technological troglodytes.

Just hearing the piano intro gave me chills and started my crying spree. Disney is my childhood and I still love it, Hunchback was one of my favorites and no one seemed to think Esmeralda was a princess or knew this song. I am so grateful there are people like you out there using a song many do know for a cause. When this tragedy happened, I thought of the lyric "I thought we were all children of God".

Thank you so much for adding your voice of love and prayers to the unfortunately on going struggle that we in LGBT community continue to go through Evynne. I remember when I was struggling with my own sexuality as a teen way back when and I would play this very song trying to understand way people felt this way about us. It gave me a great deal of comfort growing up. I know some people are viewing the choice in a negative light but I look at the fact that we as a people are still struggling to have equal rights within our own country to not fear what will happen to us if we walk down the street holding our partner's hand. Get jobs, housing, eve get service in some places. There are so many parallels to the prejudices of those of the gypsies that were coined as the "outcasts" for the movie in which it comes form, that I can't see any reason to take offense to it. The same as those proud amazing people that were thought of as "outcast" by some were the heroes after all.

This was so beautiful and powerful. Unlike what many think, God never wanted this to happen. We ARE all children of God. The bible does say that homosexuality is wrong, but so is murder and stealing, and Jesus forgave a murderer and a thief, as well as an adulteress, a pedophile, and more. He treated them all as everyone else. So, yes, the bible does say all of these these things are wrong, but that doesn't mean he loves any of them any less than his other children. He loves us all equally. He is our Father, and a father can never pick a favorite child, so why should God? This was all work of hate, evil, fear, and corruption, and God is none of those things, so who do you think was the one who did this? Not God, that's for sure. RIP to those who have fallen. You and your families are in my prayers. I love you, Evynne. You and Peter are such amazing and sweet people. Thank you for this beautiful song, especially at a time like this.

I was one of those who requested that you cover this song -- specifically, on your video of "Reflection". I have to say how beautiful and touching this rendition is. I learned a couple of days after the Orlando tragedy that my baby sister was planning to go to Pulse that night with some friends (one of her friends used to work there so they thought they'd all go and hang out) but changed her mind because she didn't take a change of clothes with her to work and it would have taken too much time for her to go home, so they decided they'd go there the following week. While I consider us all amazingly blessed and lucky that circumstances for her happened as they did, the after-effect of dealing with knowing how close we'd come to possibly losing her was (and is) terrifying. I avoided the internet because I simply couldn't deal with anything relating to the Pulse tragedy. It immediately put visions of my baby sister being violently killed in my head, despite the fact that she was safe and remains unharmed. Having only come back online to check emails and video subscriptions -- because I knew they wouldn't spark such thoughts -- I was happy to see you'd done this song. My family and I are still coping with the shock and fear, but this helps so much. Seeing and hearing you perform this is amazing. Music is the voice of the soul. Sometimes we're lucky enough to inherit songwriters and composers who have a true gift for expression. When a singer captures that emotion, and can pass it along to others, it's incredible to experience. Thank you for this.

Beautiful rendition. I know you mean well, but the term "outcast" toward the victims in Orlando really offends me. While I listened to the lyrics and know the intention is to say outcasts are part of God's children too, outcast's meaning denotes something other than us. The victims are us. Not somebody to feel pity for, but outrage that they were taken away too soon. I would never want somebody to call me an outcast. It's so negative and without any pride. Perhaps I'm wrong, and please correct me, but I doubt that too many homosexuals would want to be call an outcast.
@CuSidhe

"Outcasts" refers to how people of the LGBTA+ community are often treated in comparison to cis/hetero people. In the original context of the song/movie, it was referring to how Gypsies were treated by France and England, as they were ostracized, imprisoned, and/or killed for being what they were. The song is from the perspective of an "outcast" reaching out to God and saying, "I thought we were all made in your image...so why are we treated so differently by those that claim to represent you?" In the context of this song, she is calling out to God to help these people because of how they are often outcast from society from being "wrong" or "amoral". Please take a moment to consider the context before immediately leaping onto the "I'm offended" wagon.

Laurie Peacock I didn't think you were trying to be a troll, but people are so quick to sling around the "I'm offended" phrase over every little thing nowadays that's it's practically lost it's meaning. This song and the way she sung it is hardly sanctimonious. As a member of the LGBTA+ community, I have felt like an outcast all my life (primarily by my Southern Methodist family), and this song has always struck a chord within me. I think it echoes how many of us who have been ostracized by our families and communities feel.

I can tell you, from a gay mans point to f view, the only time I've ever not felt like an outcast was when things like last years judicial vote happened. Historically, and recently, LGBT+ people have been outcasts. She never meant harm I'm sure, as I'm sure you didn't. I wish you both all of the love in the universe, and thank you. ❤️💛💚💙💜

+Laurie Peacock +WarChant dA I would not use the term "sanctimonious" since Evynne's rendition of this song seems truely heartfelt and is beautifully sung, but nevertheless, it carries a patronizing tone. There are two aspects I would like to address: 1.) Being gay or gay-supportive is nothing you should be pitied for. I am gay and living in Germany and I luckily never felt like an outcast or even slightly rejected by my family (all devoted catholic christians btw.), friends, colleagues etc. So I can only imagine what you had to endure until now. And I can pitty you for this. But I refuse to pity you for being gay. It would be the same as pittying you for having dark hair or blue eyes. 2.) You can and you should pity the victims and their relatives and friends, but you should do this because they were affected by this horrendous crime. Calling these people "outcasts" for being murdered by a mad man or having lost a close friend or relative is offending. So I can totally relate to Laurie's Statement.

This video was posted almost three and a half years ago as of this comment, and STILL every single time I watch it I end up crying so hard I can no longer make out the video. One of the most powerful and moving videos) songs I think I've ever seen. Thankfully at least in America there haven't been any incidents as serious as the Pulse attacks that I know of, but there are a lot of us (LGBTQ+ people) who still could be in dangerous/hostile territory. To all those who still can't safely come out- KEEP HOLDING ON! There are hundreds and thousands behind you even if no one near you will support you. Stay strong and you will get to a better place in your life, I promise.

God help the outcasts Hungry from birth Show them the mercy They don't find on Earth God help my people We look to you still God help the outcasts Or nobody will I ask for wealth I ask for fame I ask for glory to shine on my name I ask for love I can possess I ask for God and his angels to bless me I ask for nothing I can get by But I know so many Less lucky than I Please help my people The poor and downtrod I thought we all were The children of God?

Beautiful as always! I’m doing Hunchback of Notre Dame at the local college this fall, I have a technical question for you. I noticed you did a j-glide between the words “the” and “outcasts” was that a deliberate choice? Would you recommend I do that too? Or would a glottal stop be preferred? Thank you for all your videos! You make me want to be a better singer!

Evynne, I am beyond touched by this. it is hard to understand why bad things happen to good people, but if we believe hard enough, something good can always come out of it. it doesn't always come when we ask, but all we have to do is be patient and give what we can to others. We have to remember that God loves us and will always be there when we need Him. God bless you, your family and Orlando. 💗😇👼

God bless and thank you for sharing your love and prayer for all outcasts. I am an "outcast" due to debilitating life threatening illness (severe Crohn's with CPS.) As a shut-in for most of the last 4 years of my life I relate so much to this song. I will be singing it for a smule contest on Sing! This week and you inspired me. And made me cry. Praying we all have a safer and more peaceful 2017.

I know it's been more than a year since you posted this Evynne. But this is the first time I've heard it so I just want to say what's in my heart now, after hearing it. When I was growing up nobody was gay around me. Nobody. So I wasn't told about it, nobody talked to me about it. So when I grew up, moved, and got to know gays and lesbians and even bisexuals, I was a blank paper. I was able to decide for myself what I thought about it. And to my surprise I didn't find it any different than being straight. To me it was just another form of love. Because nobody had ever told me otherwise. Since 2016 I've met so many gays and lesbians that have become my dear friends. So this song gets to me. How you make this classic song be about Orlando hurts my heart because it reminds me that even if I feel like my life is good, my friends still have to fight for their rights. So Evyenne, thank you. Thank you so so much for making this classic song into something that not just me, but everybody (hopefully) can relate to! I am a subscriber and will continue to be so because you are awesome!
