Les Misérables: 25- A Little Fall Of Rain

[@amha9205]

“I’ll sleep in your embrace at last” is the one that kills me. She’s saying that she’ll finally get to be with him, even if she’s not alive. WHY. MUST. YOU. DO. THIS. TO. ME.

[@zipzapzop6519]

I'm mean if getting killed is the only way to get your crush to cuddle you...

[@bar6612]

A sob like a baby at the end, every. single. time.

[@andromache007]

Best Eponine ever. People need to stop this Frances hate. There's so much emotion in her voice.

[@DeyasWorld]

Her crush is strong enough to act as a pain killer

[@Hefscards]

Why can’t my mom do that

[@accordingtosophia]

"If I could close your wounds with words of love" TOO LATE FOR THAT, BOI

[@littlesongbird7881]

He missed the memo

[@Hefscards]

I cant close my parents divorce with words of love

[@T._.liu.]

Personally Fantine, Gavroche, and Eponine's deaths were the saddest

[@aydn1983]

Thatidiotwithabox omg when gavroche died, SOMEBODYS PHONE WENT IFF AND I WAS LIKE AAHHHH

[@saorelba]

Aydn HOW DARE THEY

[@isabelerhart9523]

i know mainly Gavroche and Eponine

[@lillywastesyourtime24601]

javert was REALLY sad for me! he was just so closeminded. and couldnt deal with all the mistakes he made

[@Hefscards]

Master in a half gave birth to gavroach

[@indighost__]

i keep drawing fanart for this song i literally cannot stop help

[@mcksmartashinator]

I remember growing up on Les Mis... My mom always told me that Eponine was injured but she never told me that she had died during the musical... When I come back and listen to this song I just can't stop crying because I now know what happens.

[@redmasquerade13]

While she isn't my favorite Eponine, this is by far the better rendition of this song. Something about Frances' voice in this is so much more heartrending to me. Not sure why.

[@Len1977gt]

Really I thought her voice ( the orignal Broadway cast I'm assuming? ) was the best by far!

[@Chaneloweenz]

Larry N Original London and broadway.

[@FireBadTreePretty]

I got to see her in '87 on Broadway. Changed my life. I started taking voice lessons after that.

[@landonmaney7971]

My favorite Eponine was Lea Solonga on the London Stage in 1995. She was amazing.

[@itswherethecomedycomesin8864]

Agreed. No one really nails the harmonies the way these two do imo

[@obi1kenobyebye965]

Either I only listen to really sad songs or my KZbin mix has decided it needs to make me cry on public transport

[@MacavitysSweetheart]

Frances version of eponine in my absolute favorite, her voice is so unique sounding.

[@darrenc2370]

2:21 "I don't feel any pain".. the way she sang this was so good. We can hear the pain 😔

[@nataliehale8065]

I'm in this Musical currently, and my sister and the guy who plays Marius literally made the director cry while singing this song. We don't open for two more weeks, and it was performance ready on the first day of rehearsal.

[@oliviacolli9319]

[EPONINE] Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius. I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain, can hardly hurt me now You're here. That's all I need to know And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close And rain will make the flowers grow [MARIUS] But you will live, 'Ponine, dear God above If I could heal your wounds with words of love [EPONINE] Just hold me now, and let it be Shelter me, comfort me [MARIUS] You would live a hundred years, if I could show you how I won't desert you now... [EPONINE] The rain can't hurt me now This rain will wash away what's past And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close I’ll sleep in your embrace at last The rain that brings you here is heaven blessed The skies begin to clear, and I'm at rest A breath away from where you are I've come home from so far [MARIUS, (EPONINE)] Hush-a-bye, dear Éponine (So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius) You won't feel any pain (I don't feel any pain) A little fall of rain (A little fall of rain) Can hardly hurt you now (Can hardly hurt me now) [MARIUS] I'm here [EPONINE] That's all I need to know [EPONINE, (MARIUS)] And you will keep me safe (I'll stay with you) And you will keep me close ('Till you are sleeping) And rain... (And rain) Will make the flowers... (Will make the flowers) [Éponine dies.] [MARIUS (alone)] Grow [Marius pulls Éponine closer, crying as he holds her tightly.]

[@ZSchrink]

Oh boy, this song is such a heart-wrencher!

[@saorelba]

Fun fact: she was so covered in her own blood, she thought it was raining.

[@eris_522]

jesus christ

[@anotherpleb588]

What about this fact is fun

[@elicia901]

wasnt it raining in the movie?

[@saorelba]

@@elicia901 yes that's because tom hooper is baby and incapable of nuance

[@Vigates]

That’s really gruesome

[@CimiJx]

I cry just thinking about this song now... Eopnine, Valjean and Gavrosh were the most heart-breaking deaths

[@millicentgarciameiring9713]

THIS SONG IS SO SAD AND SO SWEET

[@TheConsultantVlogger]

My heart dies when he calls her 'Ponine

[@eleanorhogan8643]

When I was a child and I first heard this song and my Grandma says that she dies before the last line, I did not know about the story so I asked "was she ill?" "No she got shot" and I replied "that is worse, who shot her?" I was told it was the opposition side.

[@minitiger456]

I'm crying just listening to it! ; (

[@lou_marie_grace]

I saw this recently and I started sobbing during this.

[@okhoward1942]

"A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now" tbh Eponine I'm more worried about the bullet wound but I mean whatever

[@helenepr94]

This is SO beautiful!!!

[@Vigates]

I know 😭😭😭😭

[@alexlevinson1653]

Is it bad everytime I listen to this I cry? ;(

[@franceswalke9568]

if it is, consider me guilty of doing said bad thing

[@bobbybklyn]

no its good, i think

[@megansmith7171]

saintcorey90 wow... I have a stone heart I guess... I did cry at gavroche tho

[@ellent.dulles-coelho9996]

Touching, but the 1st to fall was actually Monsieur Mafbeuf (Victor Hugo's book) still, loving end for Eponine being with Marius.

[@shannonpansini4625]

She is the best Eponine, it just hits the soul.

[@LostInMichigan1]

My Favorite song in the entire show. Between the two Girls I would of rather run off to America with Epotine.

[@beatriceschneider6077]

😊😊

[@xXxCaterynaxXx]

I cried so much when I saw this part...

[@nickyscreawn3595]

yes! and then enjolras' death is so iconic!

[@CappyK]

@cloudsat7326 But! Valjean gave Cosette a good life. I've always thought that was the most moving part. He and Fantine sacrificed themselves so she could be spared the kind of lives they had to live. Fantine becomes an Angel... and Valjean is welcomed into Heaven at the end. So like... they earned Mercy for themselves in the end because the selflessness of their lives?

[@likethesword7296]

this song made me cry at the play (student version by CYT) 😿

[@SuperFruitloop09]

I think that i wass crying whenever she was singing..

[@CimiJx]

Its Eponine's death scene... One of the saddest parts in the film :'(

[@Frog921229]

At least,the best edition of all I had ever listen.

[@rikkulockhart15]

My favorite song from the musical. I prefer Lea Salonga and Michael Ball (from the 10th Anniversary cast,) but Frances Ruffelle does the song justice.

[@madelinedike468]

I was doing my French homework, and now I'm crying. Great.

[@djkramnik1]

on the contrary this is my favourite version of this song-- which I had to sift through a number of youtube videos to find

[@Cordine09]

@ohmyrowling96 Actually, I think it's Samantha Barks, Taylor Swift was considered, but the role ultimately went to Samantha, who played has played Eponine before.

[@omyyer]

this is in it yes, and its really good!!!!!

[@poliquasar]

Yes it is. It was very good.

[@ephimer]

Thanks to both!! =)

[@Mossytots24]

one of the best songs in the world

[@96Waffler]

yes it is and it is amazing i wept buckets :)

[@TheMocoJoco]

Thisis beautiful ♥

[@LiliaFarris]

2 people are out of their minds!

[@CimiJx]

I know, he was so brilliant!! Aww I want to see it again xD Oh just realised I spelt Eponine wrong, oops :P

[@okhoward1942]

Also does the intro sound like Castle on a Cloud to anyone else? Specifically the line "I love you very much"?

[@janeyloubylou]

Best day

[@anditspaganpoetry]

of course, every song is in the film.

[@teeth716]

Damnit man, why am I crying at the club rn?

[@itswherethecomedycomesin8864]

Oh we crying in the club when they start harmonizing

[@ohmyrowling96]

@Cordine09 Yep, Cameron announced it the day after I commented x) I'm quite glad about that, at least we'll get someone from a stage!

[@andromache007]

@Fanatic4500 And how do you think a dying girl should sound like.. bubbly and cheerful?

[@chinchilla_fandoms9500]

oh is this where everyone dies? eponine dies i know that much

[@BauerandBagwell]

Not every song. Dog Eat Dog and I Saw Him Once are not featured in the movie.

[@Mangafreak681]

@Fanatic4500 I know what you mean. I used to hate On My Own because of that. But then I saw another version and Eponine just sounded so amazing.

[@Moonlightonsnow]

Most of "Little people" is missing too

[@MissBetBet]

Watch Jodie Leatt's version, not great quality but sung even better than the original! "Jodie Leatt On My Own" Such a beautiful song!

[@rhiangivan]

@ohmyrowling96 No, Taylor Swift was considered but they went with Samantha Barks. Lea Michele was also considered.

[@strawbatorielle6523]

I'm so confused..... This is the saddest song.... And I know it's the eponine death scene..... But how did Eponine die?

[@lulu1sh]

xxVictoria xx Graham She was shot

[@annatonks7058]

She took a bullet for Marius

[@kkboligor7409]

Well that makes you and me i love the musical but know nothing of the plot

[@Vigates]

Shot from her hand and back

[@drewhoag3701]

She gets shot

[@Annicamd]

Why does Eponine sound like Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors

[@Brianbravo2000]

Oh shit I just noticed that

[@james14joe]

i like the symphonic version

[@rikkulockhart15]

@Fanatic4500 That's just the way Frances Ruffelle (and a lot of Eponines in general) sound, unfortunately. Eponine should have more vibrato like Lea Salonga (from the 10th anniversary concert recording,) but that's just my opinion.

[@AnnieMacFlannie]

Alexis Rhodes : Eponine Zane Truesdale : Marius Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Les Miserables GX Miserables

[@dallasfangmann]

honestly as much as i say i dislike frances, she kinda grows on you

[@sludgebob5961]

I know i hate the people who do this but im doing this.. FANTINE'S DEATH WAS SADDER

[@girldragon00]

this song was ruined when my dad said, "time to go to sleep!"

[@ephimer]

if anyone already saw the film...can u tell me if this is in? And how is it?

[@bobbybklyn]

it is and it sucks. looks like marius is laughing at her.

[@lorahbattams6696]

I was in a production of this and was eponine and my Marius was amazing at the reactions

[@Hefscards]

Her shot in the gut I feel no pain her living twenty minutes after being shot me how?????????

[@Fanatic4500]

@JulieAlbright7 Yeah, and if I was dying I doubt I would be complaining. Plus, she is supposed to be at peace. She died in Marius's arms. She knows he will never love her the way she loves him.

[@dylanayer8438]

I honestly like the Little Fall of Rain from the Les Mis high school version better

[@DanteFrench]

Its in it alright. Very moving! Overall the film is great. Even Russel Crowe sings well.

[@Fanatic4500]

@andromache007 I'm not complaining about the TONE of her voice. I'm saying that her voice in general is just kind of obnoxious. She sounds like this in all of the songs. She sounds like she's pouting. She's not bad at all, I just don't like her voice.

[@lm-bv1rg]

to me, david bryant sounds very much like michael ball

[@ohmyrowling96]

@surita88 It's Taylor Swift.... I don't know about you, but I'm panicking!

[@pullenlady]

me 2

[@Fanatic4500]

She's not bad, but I've heard much better. I went to 5th Avenue (in Seattle) recently, and the woman who played Eponine is amazing, honestly. Again, she's not bad but her voice is just so... complain..y? That's the way I'd put it; it sounds like she's pouting the whole time.

[@feraldog5590]

She's dying you moron, it should be pouty. None of her dreams will come true

[@Immalovinthesingin]

I love this song but I don't like that they gave Eponine an actress with such a childish voice - they say throughout the play how much of a child she is but if you actually listen to her and see the maturity with which she deals with all the things happening to her, she really isn't. They should have given her a voice actress who didn't sing with her nose plugged.

[@kaitlynmurray9678]

Well shit

[@majaquade1842]

WTF Eponine, it's not supposed to be like that. Frances Rufelle has an horrible voice for this kind of music. It just doesn't fit together. Lea Salonga is amazing and sings it way better and softer than her. Eponine breathes her last breath, she would have no more power for those weird "sighs".

[@katarinathedommekatpierce1787]

I think this is the recording I bought back in 7th grade when I first saw this on Broadway. I'm going to check out Lea Salonga, though...

[@katarinathedommekatpierce1787]

Goosebumps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6qzqmV_ptZghK8 I'm a believer.

[@mrzombiesbo]

Love this song, hate the singer .-.
