"Her Embrace" from IN THE LIGHT - Jeremy Jordan

[@themripley]

I don't think I've ever seen a performer as consistent as Jeremy. Every video he's not just good, he blows me away. Also, if this isn't a perfect audition for being a Disney Prince I don't know what is.

[@renskedunnewold1995]

Megan Ripley yes! We really need a Disney prince that can vocally match their princess, and Jeremy is perfect :)

[@vanitine]

Megan Ripley Well we got Varian XD

I'm a simple girl. I see Jeremy Jordan singing, I start crying and click like before I even listen.

[@hayleyhjw]

His voice has always been outstanding but its obvious how much his tone has matured over these past few years

[@scandinavianplatypus]

His voice is just so very beautiful. I'm majoring in classical voice, but this man is one of the main reasons musical theatre holds a dear spot in my heart. This is a treat for me too, since here we get to hear a little of his classical sound, and man, Jeremy never disappoints.

[@elizabethannmisel9002]

He is new to me. I really enjoy his approach to songs. Should be a West End Star!

[@johnmacy1902]

He's originated two lead roles on broadway

[@mariekazyak5233]

I've heard Jeremy Jordan sing so many different types/genres of songs and he always blows me away! This is almost like opera and I just love it! His lung control and projection are just phenomenal! I really can't praise him enough! I never had a favorite singer before, but now I do!

[@MichaelMottComposer]

Official Lyrics: A sky who knows my story, A lesson from above, A guide for my tomorrow, A memory of love. Her radiant beams of distant dreams, Her loving glow is all I know. In her embrace I was free, I was everything that I had hoped to be. She was light, every brilliant beam could waken any night. Now I see the beauty of her rays on every beam As they lead me on a dream toward her embrace. A love who knew my demons, A mirror to my day, A wife who saw my failures, A light to lead the way. As time rolls by and daydreams die, Her fading glow is all I know. In her embrace I was King, I could feel the loving life her light would bring. With her love every word I'd write would light the night above. Through the haze her perfect silver glow is all I see And forever I will be in her embrace. Now her touch is but a distant memory As she escapes my hand. Though she's gone I can feel her here And at last I understand That her embrace leads me on. I can feel her presence rising with the dawn. I will show I'd do anything to be the man I know. He'd remain forever in her arms where he's alive. In the end he would survive in her embrace. From now on I will survive in her embrace!

[@lerrinsawyer6240]

Michael Mott I will never get sick of this song!! Amazing work

[@stevehorstman9477]

THANK YOU!

[@gscott1960]

What a voice!!! Cheers to Micheal Mott on a beautiful composition

[@AHUBERTY]

Warning unsolicited opinion: In this version, Jeremy's character seems to be singing to his wife who has died but in another version that I think is more recent, "her embrace" lyrics have changed and seems to be more sung to an other-worldly, like a god character? Not sure which fits better with this story but the emotion that Jeremy sings with as if mourning and trying to hold on and find strength is so moving. It misses the mark for me when it is sung to with other lyrics...

[@susanlarisch2367]

The first few times I listened to this song, I would cry. So beautiful, so sad. The lyrics and Jeremy's performance evoke such feeling and emotions... Incredible.

[@HintOfSilver]

What's this smell?... Could it be... ALL THE AWARDS?!

[@MrAwesomeDaily]

I listen to this at least ten times a day. I can't get over it. It's stuck in my head constantly. I pray this comes to fruition. Don't give up Michael Mott. You're going places

[@MichaelMottComposer]

You are so sweet. Thank you! :-)

[@stephenb.5133]

It must be thrilling to hear your music come to life. It is so very beautiful! Your success is inevitable! I love all your music! :-)

[@ennegacion]

"Couldn't give me the right page" LOL a sense of humor and a perfect, soaring voice. Come back to Broadway Jeremy!!!

[@talielle]

He is soooo soooo good. I have watched several videos of him singing live and he is just phenomenal. In key LITERALLY every performance except for when he purposely made a mistake haha . I could listen to him sing all day. I actually wish there were more videos of him singing online. I'm surprised he isn't more famous with a voice like his actually.

[@agneseditsstuff]

talielle yes yes yes exactly. He's AMAZING

[@marcelsievering124]

for me he is by far the best English speaking musical singer and actor. I always get goosebumps when he sings. Greetings from Germany

[@amandahiguchi5545]

i love u jeremy

[@jamesvonbagh1490]

Still sounds amazing. he seems to be using a more "classical musical voice" moreso than his usual belting, emotionally wrecking voice. Go Jeremy

[@bonitamig]

I agree and I like it better.

[@mathewhutchins2539]

bonitamig agreed.

[@CherryLipstick6x3]

I first came here for Jeremy Jordan, but I keep coming back for the song. It's just brilliant! I can't wait for a studio recording of this version (please, PLEASE let there be a studio version of this).

Ugh, I wish! We need the funding to this!

[@anabefm]

Me too! I keep coming back to check if there’s any news about the concept recording album.

I think your prayers have been answered! I only found out about this musical a few days ago when they announced the studio recording (I was stunned at the thought of someone adapting a Goethe play).

I have never heard of Jeremy Jordan until a couple weeks ago when "Newsies on Broadway" came to Netflix. Now I can't stop watching Jeremy Jordan videos on here! He has such an amazing voice and it always gives me chills. I would die to be there live to see it!!! And I always think of songs he needs to sing whenever I hear some songs!

[@asyrdal4059]

You should watch Smash. He is season 2, and you can watch it for free with the nbc app. It also has Katharine McPhee too

[@mariekazyak5233]

[@dawnaboudot9621]

This is like the 10th time in two days that I've listened to this song. Your music plus Jeremy's voice is a blessing

Why can’t I stop watching this

[@agneseditsstuff]

God...this song...that voice...breathtaking

[@aionlover3981]

This man is unreal and this piece is beautiful, Michael Mott is such a talented composer and Jeremy one of the best singers of his generation.

[@bonitamig]

My god, every time I listen to this I get chills. Those high notes just send me.

[@aldiemincey]

His wealth of talent is absolutely absurd. AND he's sooo cute! Thank you, for posting.

[@leahflick4774]

I think I’ve watched this at least a hundred times. Great job, Michael!!

[@MichaelMottComposer]

Thank you for watching!!

[@leidipimentinha]

it's amazing how Jeremy manages to make his co-stars shine in their performances. Laura is wonderful but the way Jeremy sings makes the music and her voice even more beautiful. In addition to feeling the total freedom and comfort of your partners in voicing your voice at your side

[@sunnyblue7800]

Jeremy never ever dissapoints. Any and every style and video, he is absolutely stunning

[@Pageh22]

Stunning piece of music. Jeremy Jordan continues to be such an incredible talent. In the murky water of mainstream music, this is gold. Thank you.

[@michellegunn5684]

I'm a huge fan of his breath control and enunciation. I love that you can understand every word of this very beautiful song as well as how supported his high notes are. Plus the band also provides a very polished performance. Thoroughly enjoyed video thank you.

[@tyschirmer6127]

The lyrics of this song are what get me and like knowing the rest of the story and how this is the finale before he dies, DAMN!

[@MichaelMottComposer]

Thank you! This is an older version. Check out the new and improved via the Highlights album. There’s also a music video that we filmed with Jeremy. :)

[@lisededeyne]

he's so insanely good omg

[@ctiffany81]

This is the most exquisite song, in the hands of a spectacular artist - EXCEPTIONAL!! 🥰👏🎶

[@Catellana]

I constantly come back to this video just to remember what true talent sounds like. Jeremy is such a consistent performer, a superb singer and on top of that an amazing human being.

[@leidipimentinha]

Gorgeous. Please, tell me we will see this perfection this year, with Jeremy Jordan on stage

[@kevinnguyen6731]

Out of the three performances I've seen of this song, I liked Jeremy's the most. His phrasing and the way he dips into the more falsetto part while still making it sound natural with the rest of his voice makes the performance feel refined. The other two singers, kept lowering the larynx I felt making it sound unnatural.

[@leidipimentinha]

he finishes syllables and phrases so damn well

[@miaslote1649]

He has an amazing voice, and paired with these lyrics is just amazing

[@MichaelMottComposer]

Thanks! Those are the old lyrics. Excited for you to hear the new ones if we can reach our goal and record the full score to my musical!

[@26mandys]

I really hope this gets to Broadway. I am a diehard Jeremy fan, but I also love all the performances from this event. I like the rise/fall as a duet. All the changes seem to make sense. Gorgeous melodies. It is nice that someone is still writing beautiful music and not just poppish scores for shows. Sigmund Romberg and Jerome Kern would approve!

[@MichaelMottComposer]

26mandys Wow, thank you so much for these beautiful words! So humbling! ❤️🙏🏻

[@26mandys]

Michael Mott I meant every word. My dad was a huge Romberg fan, and I went to school for musical theatre, so I spent four years listening to all those beautiful old musicals. Plus, these days so many people spend their time being critical and tearing people down. I have made a conscious decision to hand out compliments where they are deserved. It makes me happy.

[@jenmel3131]

Jeremy is incredible. I can listen to him all day long. So sorry it took me so long to find this beautiful music.

[@rysia9825]

Okay, so I am late like eight thousand years, but this song and Jeremy's performance hits me on so many levels, I can't even, I love this.

[@JackGiblenSinger]

Honesty, there are some songs that will always move you and lift you up and this is one of them.

[@BatoulHana]

Just watching this made my throat hurt. The hardwork it must have taken for Jeremy Jordan to get there I can't comprehend. The song is beautiful. It's repetitive but I could listen to it all day, the lyrics are powerful as well. All in all this is perfect.

Gracie Shedd It's a whole new version of the song from last weekend. We premiered 15 songs from the score of my musical IN THE LIGHT. New story = new material. Since I wanted to keep this song in the show, I rewrote the lyrics to fit the new story.

The new version of "Rise or Fall" fits our new storyline. Sorry to hear you don't like it.

Michael ,I understand and realise R&F is tailored to suit the production and I like it .My point was I was blown away with Jeremy"s early version .Her Embrace is also very good and in In The Light seems to have what it takes to be a big smash hit .
