sam rueda-mortenson omg i think you went to the same show as my friend!!!! that’s wild!!!

[@graysonfaith5946]

It's amazing how this song is so beautiful and haunting at the same time, exactly like the love story being told. Each line makes you feel all of the hope and despair of the characters. Perfection.

[@bestbibtch9988]

The movie she's talking about (where they sang to break jail) has to be Down By Law by Jim Jarmusch.

[@marieangie5663]

I would sell my soul to hades to see this show😭♥️

[@processesofbecoming2516]

I love all versions of the story that I am able to find recordings of. Both the off-Broadway, Broadway, and any other members of the cast who show up along the way are wonderful. It’s so great seeing something so creative and empathetic and unapologetic about its joy and sadness being so well received.

[@ellaforlin8160]

[@Kievlar]

Such a beautiful end result of great collaboration. I've been entranced with the show even if I have not seen it. Cheers from the Philippines!

[@mymakeupnonsense]

Actually in the Bible, Paul and Silas (Acts 16:16-40) sang to God and the prison doors opened. So there’s another story with similar imagery!

[@FeliseEsposito]

That's the story I was wondering if she was talking about, too

[@witnessme4352]

This song is perfection. Also it's less spoken than rapped (or screamed if you're listening to the UK version with Chris Sullivan).

[@kareneastman9695]

It's a very excellent and beautiful song.🙂

[@IgnatiusPang]
