Move Toward The Darkness - The Addams Family

[@soaring-comet]

My brother did this musical in high school and apparently the guy who played Lurch actually had a pretty high voice and they had no clue he was able to sing as low as he did

I love “you and I face the sky and the light we see fades away in the gray leaving you and me” I’ll listen to just that part on repeat

[@alexanderhayes1196]

I play Mal in my schools production and that 4 part harmony is hard to get. Lol

[@ariiscool6129]

Reid schultz the people playing those parts in our production are so talented it’s just so heavenly to hear this harmony

I was Lurch for my schools performance, and today was our final performance. He’s such a great character and this song was a blast to sing. I don’t think there could have been a better end to my senior year.

[@javyon]

lurch is so boring to play tho but i have a deep voice so i was put into it 😂

[@gsings7654]

@@javyon nah you just gotta become him, be the best Lurch out there

[@aruan3891]

Same thing here! I had a lot of fun playing him and learning how to sing. Perfect character to end my senior year.

[@eonmusic00001]

​@@gsings7654I was a little upset about it at first, but I'm really getting into it now.

[@caedenw5595]

I'm playing Lurch and I am proud to say that I can hit all of the notes with ease. As a 6'5 man with a register too deep for comfort in almost any other show, this is truly a dream come true

[@DumbleGrum]

I'm playing Lurch in a musical I'm a Sophomore at the moment. I was so excited that I got this song. Yay for me.

Listening to this after a very bad emotional time. It's very comforting. Love to all going through shit. You have much lightness within you as well as darkness 🖤

[@ashleysaint-tucker8711]

GOMEZ Right and wrong, Who's to say which we should refuse? All we know, love survives either way we choose. Where, you ask, do we go when the world's not right? You and I, we reply, someplace out of sight. LURCH Move toward the darkness welcome the unknown Face your blackest demons Find your weakest bone Lost your inhibitions Love what once was vile Move toward the darkness and smile MORTICIA, WEDNESDAY & COMPANY Move toward the darkness Don't avoid despair Only at our weakest can we learn what's fair ADDAMS When you face your nightmares Then you'll know what's real COMPANY Move toward the darkness and feel LURCH & COMPANY Aahhh aahhh ahhhh COMPANY Move toward the darkness Conquering your pain Let each foreign forest Offer you its rain Only at our lowest Can we rise above Move toward the darkness Move toward the darkness GOMEZ & MORTICIA Move toward the darkness and LURCH & COMPANY Love (love, love, love, love) GOMEZ Are you unhappy, my darling? MORTICIA Oh, yes - yes, completely.

[@mikeytime564]

it's missing the Gomez part at the beginning because this is the non Broadway version. They actually use the Gomez part in another non Broadway song called "Happy Sad"

[@janbit1628]

Oh my God- ty-

[@muddymurphy9802]

And also where is the part that’s like ‘you and I face the sky and the light we see fades away in the grey leaving you and me’

[@armageddon7432]

this aint student version

[@littlerockrocks2272]

This makes me miss getting to perform this so much :'(. Being Gomez Addams was such an awesome experience. I remember a bunch of people crying but still staying collected as we sang this for the last time on closing night.

[@baequeencat3577]

I did the Addams family musical with my drama group in England and everyone loved it. The cast and I all thought we were chosen for our roles because we were the closest thing to Addams family

[@nathanhill8827]

I started as a backstage crew for my school and took the position of lurch mid way through. Best experience ever for real. If your ever scared to sing this song… do not be. For real I feel it changes my life

I performed this in July/August 2018 and my voice was like an octave too high so it didn’t fit (I played Lurch) but nevertheless it’s a perfect song as Lurch’s first words
