"The friend who would tell me not to do it is in the ground." It wasn't just Laurens who was gone- anyone who could have potentially slapped some sense into Hamilton was out of the picture. Washington was dead, Angelica was in London, and Aaron Burr was no longer his friend.

i kNOW that part killed me when i first heard the song.. thank you so much!!

[@magic8ball331]

I understand why they cut that extra verse it doesn't flow with the rest of the song but... I can't help but feel like it was important to show to the audience WHY he did it "The friend who would tell me not to do it is in the ground, the enemies I've made will have nothing on me now." Literally nothing was holding Alexander back, and he felt as if he had nothing left to lose but he forgot about Eliza. That's why I love this version.

[@tvheit5381]

fuck yes you put it so eloquently i love you also i love eliza. so much that i had to include her even more,,

[@cindyt4877]

I also think it might be part of Laurens's actor having to change into Philip for the very next song but I feel like with a little more time and refining the melody/just wearing a quick costume change (it's really just the same clothes but a different jacket and hair) it would have worked. I'm really sad this wasn't the final version. It just felt stronger and more emotional.

[@alexanderlaurens1695]

magic8ball331 I always thought of it like he's worked so hard that he's burned out; and with his lack of sleep and him refusing to take a break, he writes the Reynolds Pamphlet without thinking about the consequences. Like, he's worn out to the point that he can't stop himself from making bad decisions.

[@wowzersthunder3791]

I love this song wholeheartedly, but the workshop version that I just listened to with this animatic. It had me in more tears than the actual song. I agree with what you said too. It is exactly what I was thinking. The extra lines made me actually understand why he did it. The Laurens part caught me off guard though. That is where I began to cry.

[@Bels_N_Whistles]

I believe I read some where that the reason this version didn't make it is because Lin cut "let it go" and he thought that Laurens singing "let it go" for no reason and had no connection to any other song would have been confusing and out of place for the audience

[@dolly3959]

this is my first time listening to the workshop version and like the first minute I was like "wtf its literally the same thing" and thEN LAURENS SHOWED UP AND NOW IM SOBBING IN A CORNER

[@pixelbombed]

I have no idea why Lin took that part out. It's so powerful, and I cried for like 10 minutes after I heard that part

[@a_gal.in.your.basement]

It’s because Lin knew the audience would be crying too hard for them to finish performing without one of the cast succumbing to forgetting their lines or crying too

The math that was put into this comment😂😂😂 it might've not been much for you but I suck at math so for me dang

[@MoonyToons_4422]

This comment is fucking underrated

[@hallmarket]

this is so much better than the broadway version wtf, the lines have so much more impact

[@magiv4205]

I wholeheartedly agree.

[@hcxwj]

The reason they used the version they did, I believe, is to keep to there being no Lafayette, Hercules, John, and Peggy in the second act, and being only in the first half, which makes the first song much more enjoyable when they all sing "I- died for him" Being both Phillip and John, "We- fought with him" Being Lafayette and Hercules, but also Madison and Jefferson. " and "Me - I loved him" being the Schuyler sisters but also Maria.

[@magiv4205]

HCXWJ "to keep them being only in the first half" must be the most boring reason I've ever read. I'm pretty sure most people would not feel the enjoyment of the first song negatively impacted in ANY way had these few lines been left in the show. If anything, it would only make them more emotional and would also help to give the most important person in Alexander Hamilton's life the closure he fucking deserved.

[@hcxwj]

I'm sorry for phrasing it wrong, what I meant was I believe if they had Laurens in the second act, it might have ruined the immersion and damaged the pure cleverness put into this play.

[@magiv4205]

HCXWJ No, I don't think you've phrased it wrong, I just don’t agree with what you said. My comment wasn't meant as an attack, pardon my choice of words. I get what you're trying to say, but I don't think it's a valid reason to drop these brilliant lyrics. For example, Jefferson and Madison are both mentioned in act one, and I don't see people complaining about that, seeing as by the time their names are dropped, both actors are still in their roles of Hercules and Lafayette. The lyrics fit the story, which is why I think they should've let the Hurricane lyrics the way they originally had it. Note that the changes are not only that Laurens is in the song, but he also sings the words "Let it go" to Hamilton. Those belong to another song by the same name they later scrapped, in which Eliza and Washington, two important people in Hamilton's life, sing those words to try and keep Hamilton from doing something stupid after Burr snatches Schuyler's senate seat and Ham feels attacked. Laurens singing these words in Hurricane is only fitting, since he was arguably the most important person in Hamilton's life and probably 90% of his impulse control. Here he is either a voice in Hamilton's head or a ghost, desperately screaming at Hamilton not to write the Reynolds Pamphlet and ruining his own life. Hamilton answers this plea by saying that since the "friend who would tell (him) not to do it is in the ground", he has nothing to lose and basically doesn’t care if he ruins his life because nothing really matters anymore. Not only does this version of the song give Lauren's character some sort of closure (since he basically just died at the end of act one and is never spoken of again until the very end, even though irl, Hamilton was a completely changed man after his death and grieved deeply for him), it is also much more emotional for the audience to have that throwback. Hamilton going into overdrive because of his friend's death sounds much more probable than him just being incredibly stupid and not realizing the consequences of his actions.

[@Someloser3232]

I heard that Lin Manuel Miranda scrapped Let It Go, because he didn’t want Eliza=Elsa memes. I also think he could’ve done it because he didn’t want legal issues over the song’s name, but I’m not sure.

[@alexysbasinger]

"the friend who would tell me not to is in the ground" basically hes saying that if Laurens was around and told him not to instead of his other friends that (historically) were like "dude no". Theres also that possiblity that had Laurens been alive during this he would have convinced Hamilton to go with Eliza. In letters Hamilton told Laurens how he hated everyone (himself included) everyone but Laurens. Its said that when Laurens died and Hamilton got the news about it he was never quite the same. He became more quick to the draw, more angry. So long story short Laurens was basically Hamiltons level ground to stand on and when he died it got uneven.

I think part of the reason they cut this is because in The Reynolds Pamphlet Philip is there, being shown the pamphlet by Burr Madison and Jefferson and unless Anthony is speedy quick, that costume change might not be made in time

However, in Ron Chernow's biography, Alexander Hamilton, there is a delineation between his feelings of despair and his grief, a depressive state that extends beyond his losses. Chernow describes a man prone to depths of mood Edit: he also had bipolar disorder

1) This is amazing. I love lyric vids as much as animatics because you have the added option of making clever captions like you did with NY and moment) (and ignorance and resistence) 2) Your style is really cool) Ham looks handsome as all hell, and Eliza is slightly anime but i am about 150% okay with that 3) I am so weak for metaphorical and minimalistic uses of colour this vid might be my downfall. 4) I have never heard this version of the song, but I can attest to the fact that you chose the one that would hit the hardest and it did, so good for you 5) Thank you.

aaahgh this comment really made my day you have no idea,, 1) thank you aah i was hoping that someone would pick up on some of the captions /// 2) haha i have been influenced by anime for too many years of my life ;v;; 3) im a very colour orientated person so i was worried it might seem a bit much but this gave me a bit more confidence in my art /)///(\ 4) yES this version of hurricane made me cry?? while the final cut made me horrified at his desicions this one just made me bawl 5) you're welcome !!

[@maryrecall3085]

hamemeton You're welcome. You're a really cool artist and you should have all the encouragement. All of it)

Fun Fact! The Reynolds Pamphlet was published on August 25th, 1797. Two days later, on August 27th, 1797, would have been the 15 year anniversary of John Laurens' death, as he was killed on August 27th, 1782 at age 27 (he would have been 28 a month later on October 28th).

This song is just so important because it explains why Alexander did what he did, even throughout the whole musical. Complete strangers helped him out of hell, and his whole town watched as he was the first to actually make it out, and they were all counting on him to do them justice. He knew that if this got out by rumor, it could ruin his whole career, and he felt as if he would've let down his hometown, all the people that worked so hard to get him their. He was afraid if he didn't do this, he would be throwing away his shot, as his town, and all those who helped him watched, hence why he also sounds as if he's on the verge of a panic attack during the song. That's just my idea, thanks for reading this if you got this far haha
