Hadley Fraser - Moving Too Fast (from The Last 5 Years)

Hadley Fraser performing Moving Too Fast from the musical The Last Five Years at Friday Night is Music Night: The Shock of the New. First broadcast on 5 April 2013.
Fun fact: Hadley had a brief stint starring as Jamie in Theatre Aspen’s production of The Last 5 Years in 2007.
The 25th anniversary of The Phantom of The Opera stream on KZbin had me falling in love with this man and his voice. Enjoy!!

That lockdown streaming of POTO has a LOT to answer for! 💚

Jennifer Lee haha I learnt about this cover’s existence from a comment under beyond the door and I couldn’t believe no one had posted it to youtube so I took the initiative to.

Did I just hear an alarm start ringing? Did I see sirens go flying past? Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing, I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast. I'm gliding smooth as a figure skater, I'm riding hot as a rocket blast - I just expected it ten years later. I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast. And you say, "Oh, no, Step on the brakes, Do whatever it takes, But stop this train! Slow, slow! The light's turning red!" But I say: No! No! Whatever I do, I barrel on through, And I don't complain. No matter what I try, I'm flyin' full speed ahead! I'm never worried to walk the wire. I won't do anything just "half-assed, " But with the stakes getting somewhat higher, I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast. I found a woman I love, And I found an agent who loves me - Things might get bumpy, but Some people analyze ev'ry detail, Some people stall when they can't see the trail, Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail, But I keep rollin' on. Some people can't get success with their art, Some people never feel love in their heart, Some people can't tell the two things apart, But I keep rollin' on. Oh, oh - maybe I can't follow through, But oh, oh - what else am I s'pposed to do? I dreamed of writing like the high and mighty - Now I'm the subject of a bidding war! I met my personal Aphrodite - I'm doing things I never dreamed of before! We start to take the next step together - Found an apartment on Seventy-Third! The Atlantic Monthly's printing my first chapter - Two thousand bucks without rewriting one word! I left Columbia and don't regret it - I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it! My heart's been stolen! My ego's swollen! I just keep rollin' along! And I think, "Well, well, what else is in store? Got all this and more Before twenty-four!" It's hard not to be sure I'm spinning out of control! Out of control! I'm feeling panicked and rushed and hurried! I'm feeling outmaneuvered and outclassed, But I'm so happy I can't get worried About this singular impression - I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast!

[@exitedaardvark5480]

Yo how do I download this into my brain?

[@secondaccount4569]

This doesn’t sound live. Is it a recording?

[@silentlyresigned8703]

It was recorded live for a BBC Radio programme, hence the crispy clear audio :)

[@secondaccount4569]

silently resigned ok that makes sense I was like man this sounds way too good for bootleg audio. I wish there was a video he kills this song

[@silentlyresigned8703]

Haha I agree!
