Being able to dissect the characters in all these different ways shows how great the acting is on top of these amazing vocals and this is really a masterpiece!

[@DwynTwo]

​@@clearly_a_racconright?? It almost seemed like they were both married to him. I felt so terrible for Eliza every time Angelica came on the stage and all she did was declaring her love for her sister's husband, and her sister's husband doing the same thing vice verca. I felt especially bad at the "My dearest, Angelica" part and the "longing for Angelica, missing my wife" bit

1:50-1:56 “I know about whispers, I see how you look at my sister...” Damn. This version of Burn makes everyone realize that Eliza was not as naive as people think her to be.

[@terynb4407]

I have a feeling that Eliza asked her about and angelica told her the truth or that Angelica came foward with the truth about her feelings for angelica and it most likely happened after his death cause even Eliza knew that Angelica got a different side of ham. Although if Peggy was still alive when ham died then Eliza would have had so much more to contribute to Hamiltons story and legacy

[@its.beatrizdasilva]

but Hamilton did say to Eliza during helpless "Angelica tried to take a bite of me" so she did know but didn't think to much about it as she trusted Angelica not do do anything out of line.

[@annabellebenham6915]

Why is nobody talking about when they sing "Your enemy whispers so you have to scream." This is basically Eliza confronting Hamilton saying he was so obsessed with keeping his name cleared that he ruined so many other lives in the process.

[@calebcruz4763]

I think it also pertains to how his political rivals rumor or "whisper" about his malicious endeavors, but since Alexander is very reckless and competitive, he "screams" it himself.

[@captainscott1096]

right it's similar to Congratulations

[@whaleymom76]

I don't think that line is in that order in the final version of this song. This (the original) version is more angry while the one in the musical emphasizes the sorrow more than the anger.

[@martinezcabanazaraceli8357]

Clear as the life of Maria, her lover, but Eliza did not allow her name to be cleared so Eliza only refers to her lover as "this girl" since she did not want all the blame to fall on her and leave her name clean. Alexander.

[@tecitodemanzanilla]

@@martinezcabanazaraceli8357 bc it wasn’t Maria’s fault but James fault, he (as ver husband) forced her to have an affair with Hamilton, if she didn’t something would hallen to her child, I think It’s something like that

[@kazoonoises3686]

I know at 1:52 he's just hitting the keys, but the way he moves his hand looks like a reaction to the previous line like "Damn aight, roasting hammy today"

[@lilywoodrow7881]

"I see how you look at my sister." *D A M N.* I (kinda) get why they didn't include this in the Broadway show, but I wish they at least included this line. This line is Eliza telling Alex that no, he's not as slick as he thinks he is, and yes, she _did_ catch all those times he was stealing glances at her sister. It always irked me that in the musical Eliza seemed to have no idea what was going on between the two because honestly, he was being kinda obvious. In this case, she's always known, but decided not to say anything until Alex pushed her too far. It would've shown how much he took her kindness for granted, and how much he screwed up by royally pissing off even someone as sweet and forgiving as Eliza. You got what you wanted, Ham, but you lost what you had.

[@pls5161]

dude. That would have put the cherry on top in the musical. Like, the music would go all deep, as would the lights, everything pausing/moving slowly. It would all just wrap up quickly that ham really went to far. Honestly, the setting in those few seconds would go so smooth, that it’d be a part people would rewind to watch again. If the musical contained that magic and power into Eliza’s song, the audience would feel their heart drop. Especially from our light hearted kind and forgiving Eliza. Dang, thinking about it rn already giving me chills.

[@shercali8592]

I kind of like that they didn’t, because it really just reinforces Eliza’s trusting nature and her relationship with her sister e.g. “You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind” etc. the fact that she trusted Hamilton so much just makes this betrayal even more devastating.

[@bi_beans9011]

TheKaiDino Sucks ya i like how the song evolved to be rlly focused on her pain and how she made a decision to erase herself from his story (decision making is what most songs are for) but i like how she was burning him in this old vers too, he rlly deserved it. but the final vers has some of that burning in it in like the climax when it’s like “u forfeit all rights to my heart...” till the end. the old vers also had more tell and not show like “im not naive.” i love both concepts and im very attached to all of elizas songs they are truly beautiful

[@cupidsangel5472]

Honestly, the way I interpret the title of this song is that this is the first time Eliza is confronting her anger with her husband’s behavior. She hates the way he never has time for her, she hates the way he flirts with everyone, and she hates his obsession with his reputation and his legacy but she’s *never* said anything about it. Her breaking point, was when he cheated on her. That’s when her emotions couldn’t be bottled up anymore so this song, while it’s mainly about him cheating, it’s about also about those things too, and those little things she brings up when she says “they are your legacy, we are your legacy” or “you enemy whispers so you have to scream” is her confronting him about those things too :)

When using a candle, the "first burn" is always important because you have to burn the candle all the way for it to "remember" and store this memory onto the next burn (so you can avoid tunneling the wax). In a way, Eliza's "first burn" is this atrocious memory of her husband's infidelity, and everytime she "burns" or lives, she carries this memory - this pain - forever.

She said, "You have married an Icarus He has flown too close to the sun" Don't take another step in my direction I can't be trusted around you Don't think you can talk your way Into my arms, into my arms I'm burning the letters you wrote me You can stand over there if you want I don't know who you are I have so much to learn I'm re-reading your letters And watching them burn (burn) I'm watching them burn (burn) You published the letters she wrote you You told the whole world How you brought this girl into our bed In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives Heaven forbid someone whisper "He's part of some scheme" Your enemy whispers So you have to scream I know about whispers I see how you look at my sister Don't, I'm not naive I have seen women around you Don't think I don't see how they fall for your charms All your charms I'm erasing myself from the narrative Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted When you broke her heart You have thrown it all away Stand back, watch it burn Just watch it all burn And when the time comes Explain to the children The pain and embarrassment You put their mother through When will you learn That they are your legacy? We are your legacy! If you thought you were mine (mine, mine) Don't

After getting emotionally cheated on, this song really resonates with me and I really agree with Lin's argument that after this version of 'Burn' Forgiveness was not an option. However, in the end, they should have sung 'If you thought I was yours - don't". That seems more truthful.

'Heaven forbid someone whisper "he's part of some scheme", Your enemy whispers so you have to scream! I know about whispers, I see how you look at my sister...' Lin Manuel Miranda, HOW DARE YOU remove this verse. It. Is. PERFECT.

[@johnhawthorne1084]

Mainly for the reason that there isn't much between burn and quiet uptown. Coming off that line quiet uptown just wouldnt have worked

[@joshangrian]

Tom meph I’ve always thought the musical could have benefited from an extra song or two in that gap anyways. Hamilton has an affair, gets their son killed, and then at the end of the next song Eliza forgives him. I think splitting “burn” into “first burn” and “congratulations” woulda helped with that, and maybe if they added something else before “it’s quiet uptown” as well, it could have made Eliza’s forgiveness feel more earned.

[@Angelica-pp9gw]

And maybe because “Burn” came years earlier than “First Burn”

[@kaylie0kk5]

Burn was made before this

[@TheBookwormMeg]

First Burn was the original draft of Burn when Lin was first writing the song from Eliza's eyes. So, it came first but ultimately got revamped into the Burn we know from the show and then the original was turned into First Burn for the Hamildrop.

i love how the ending lyric is literally “if you thought you were mine… don’t x” LIKE DAMN OKAY-

unrelated but i love your pfp

[@alyssabaines7911]

"when will you learn that they are you legacy, we are your legacy" i personally think that this line shows that Hamilton was so focused on making sure he had physical evidence of his part in the creation of America to preserve his legacy that he neglected another part of his legacy, his family. it's such a powerful line in this version of the song. the entire song is amazing in either version too.

[@gemjule]

[@stargazer4293]

I agree!

[@hpfan]

I completely agree. I think the final "Burn" we ended with is the best version, but if anything new in this version could have made it in, I would have chosen the part about his family being his legacy after she tells him "the world has no right to [her] heart. The world has no place in [their] bed. They don't get to know what [she] said."

[@AnitaClue]

hpfan, so it would look something like this... The world has no right to my heart. The world has no place in our bed. They don't get to know what I said.

This version is more accurate to the feelings of violation that cheating provides, as well as her hurt and pain and rage. The downside is: Historically, Eliza forgave him. Somehow. This version is only useful in some alternate reality where Eliza doesn't forgive him. Thus, Lin had to put his pen down, put this down, and write normal burn, so there's a logical path from this moment to 'Forgiveness, can you imagine?' Most of the resonance this song has with people...well, it comes from imagining someone they /didn't forgive./

[@MrRayMac1963]
