My Heart is WATER! Like My TEARS!! 😭 | Heart of Stone - Six The Musical | Reaction/Analysis

[@officialmortius]

It’s my last day of vacation today! Hopping into the comments to say thank you SO much for the support you’ve shown my videos this month even though I haven’t been active in premieres or comment sections much. I appreciate you all so very much! If you’re excited for more Six content, guess what; I am too!!! So much so that I’ll be recording the next two episodes minimum by the end of this week, so if you can’t wait for the weekly Monday episodes, now’s a great time to join the Patreon and get those unedited versions AS SOON as I record them, along with the other very fun content I’ve been waiting to record once I was back home. Thanks again for keeping the channel alive while I was gone, and I can’t wait to go back to making content for you all very very soon! (Also you’ve only got 2 more weeks to get the limited edition + discounted pride merch so if you haven’t checked it out yet make sure to do so! Patreon and merch site linked in the description 😁)

[@AnxiousHerb]

I just wanna say this real quick: after the song after Haus of Holbein there is this one scene called "Queens fight" and the intro of the queen after is often called "K Howard's roast"

[@kimberlybea2885]

I really love how this song takes the metaphor of a "heart of stone," which usually stands for coldness and an unfeeling nature, and plays up the endurance and steadfastness instead.

[@officialmortius]

Oooooh I love this perspective!

[@dwell7315]

I believe in the dialogue before the introduction shown in this video (or alternatively maybe it was just in the Broadway version, idk), Jane actually mentions that Henry could be considered or even is/was called "stone-hearted," so in character it makes sense for Jane to turn that phrase on its head.

[@sunnysunsins]

Now, Jane wasn't exactly an innocent little doe. There is a story of Anne once walking in on Jane sitting on Henry's lap (which she blamed as the reason for her miscarrying a son), and there's also the fact that Henry was engaged to Jane only a day after Anne was executed and married 11 days after, kinda sus timing. There are also several letters from ambassadors at the time noting Jane's quick rise to power and subtly undermining Anne's position, and allegedly even them getting into physical fights. She managed to convince Henry to put Mary and Elizabeth back into the line of succession, and as known, Jane died shortly after her son Edward was born, from what is now known to be post-partum complications. She seemed fine at first, but then rapidly fell ill a week or two later and died. Henry was devastated and took a while to look for the next wife. When he died, by his will, he was to be buried beside her. "The only one he truly loved", it seems. In terms of competition, she doesn't really have anything to complain about. The only "load of bs" she experienced was the typical misogyny of the times, Henry actually cared for her, she gave an heir and she "died on the job". That's better than most, and certainly better than half her competition got. Song still slaps tho Her son Edward could've been just as bad as Henry, but died in his teens from an illness. He tried to exclude his sisters from line of succession but nobody took it seriously, and Mary took the throne (feat. her first beheading, fun. For more info look up lady Jane Grey)

[@lop90ful1]

Well its not like Henry could have just execute people left and right it only seems like it in context of it being now mainstream thing. Of course things are way diffrent and more nuanced then the musical presents but that goes for any history based musical. Henry wasnt a litteral monsters and did some good thingsm its just that most of the context is lost to time for us, as for the animatic well it wasnt suppose to be accurate but just to respents her feelings on the matter

[@TanzaniteStudios]

@@lop90ful1 I’m really bad at history but after Jane didn’t he go a bit crazy? Like I can’t remember if it was led poisoning or a heard injury or if I mixing both of those up with other people, but something went wrong with him mentally by his 4th wife right?

[@sunnysunsins]

@@TanzaniteStudios he fell of his horse during a jousting incident when he was with Anne. That messed up his leg (never recovered and only got worse) and did something to his head. That's when he started going crazy

[@JaneD0e_LuckyNxmbr7]

[@MelissaDiemer-q8l]

Here's the thing I've wondered: Did henry actually love jane herself, or did he love the fact she finally gave him the son he wanted? What if her child was another girl or having a miscarriage or stillborn? I imagine things would have been very different for her, and she probably knew and was aware of it because of what happened to his previous two wives. If she failed to give him a son, I'm not so sure he would have said that.

[@eacole72]

Jane Seymour: Modeled after Adele, Sia, and Celine Dion. This is recognized as the Power Ballad of the musical. When the musical hit production, it became clear that having a cast of six with one swing wasn't going to be a long term solution. They eventually ended up with three swing performers, one of whom is also the dance captain for a given production. When they performed for the Tony Awards in 2023 (2022 debut/season), one of the main cast contracted COVID and had to be replaced by the dance captain during the course of an afternoon. This is one of the shows that is recognized as needing to have a Tony created for Best Ensemble. There isn't a Leading Role/Featured Role. They are six equal parts.

[@hanonondricek411]

Six is the perfect well-oiled machine. It's a small short show that runs like clockwork with little fuss except the band and performances. There apparently are "Mega Queens" - universal swings who can perform all six roles. I think the show (kind of like Wicked) is directed and performed so consistently that they could fly any veteran Queen in to perform the role as she knows it in any production with very little put-in. That's why the dance-captain has an advantage because she knows everyone's track in emergency. They even have "swing" costumes that are elaborate but without color (usually gold and black) so the swing can wear that as any Queen they play. I love that the band is also in-character so they can introduce them without knowing real names if the band members swing in and out. They just have to remember the name of the city they're in if they're touring.

[@milliegoodwin5389]

The sad thing is that Jane was probably only remembered and mourned so positively by Henry because she didn't live long enough to annoy him as much as the others The one time she tried to stand up to him (she asked him to spare the people who participated in a protest against Henry splitting the UK from the Catholic church) he threatened her with the same treatment as Anne Boleyn

[@Claudia-B.1987]

The only reason are like you said, she live not long enough to annoy him and because she give him a son the one thing none of the others managed to give him.

[@swiftninja91]

If I remember correctly, Jane Seymour died 6 days after giving birth to her son. Henry went into mourning for 2 years. He would he consistently and constantly badgered to marry again. Eventually, he DID concede, mostly because a second heir would secure his legacy.

[@BrandonVout]

He also really needed Protestant allies because of the threat of France and the HRE invading him after their war ended. When they went back to war, he didn't need Anne's brother's alliance anymore and cast them aside.

[@LordofFullmetal]

I mean, he had what he wanted from her. If he'd gotten that from Catherine of Aragon, he would've never had a second marriage. So I can see why he was reluctant to marry again. Also he did literally threaten to behead her, so I think it's fair to say he didn't "love her" the way normal, healthy people love each other. He loved her the way ab-sers love their victims - as long as she stayed quiet and did as she was told, she was loved. But the second she revealed a personhood beyond his desires, she was a threat.

[@e_m_m_a_0122]

Having seen this live, this song silenced a theatre of 7000 people, the air literally got sucked out of the room... seeing her just stand there in a slowly fading spotlight for more than a minute, so impactful

Oh, if you're feeling the feelings NOW, you are NOT ready for (the best girl) Katherine Howard. I am so hyped to see you react to Katherine Howard's song - idk if anything has made you cry on camera, but I'm hoping that this'll be the first. Also, if you still are doing musical reactions after six is finished, I would commit unspeakable acts to see your reaction to a Starkid show (specifically The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, Black Friday, and Nerdy Prudes Must Die, a trilogy-of-sorts).

Seymour: because, what hurst more than a broken hearth? … … … Boleyn: a severed head

[@jazzycat8917]

"You've got a good heart, but i know it changes" So this is interesting because Henry had actually had several concussions and traumatic head injuries from jousting as a younger man, including one REALLY bad accident January 1536 (just 5 months before he ordered Anne Boleyn's execution/married Jane), and there's some speculation that he sustained brain damage that "changed" him; made him so infamously volatile, unreasonable, paranoid, and prone to extreme anger. This is not to say he was a "good person" before his accidents, but there is some basis to believing that the worst of his emotional instability and rage was not how he had originally started out.

[@jessk1683]

for context on the next song: this show doesn't have an interval, and it's very aware of the fact that this song, heart of stone, is emotionally heavy. which is why house of holbein is like a slap in the face.

Their intro parts in “Ex-Wives” have the same tunes as their individual songs. So you are correct in saying those were the same notes. This song live is absolutely heart piercing. I definitely teared up in the theatre when Jane sang this song. “Get Down” is definitely one of my favorite songs from Six. Also, I can’t wait for you to get to Hadestown. Such a great show as well!

[@PS-dm1dq]

Yes, Hadestown!

[@Crystal-lz6bm]

Heart of stone is definitely one of the more emotional of the bunch. In terms of historical accuracy, its highly debatable. Yes, she did give Henry a son and Henry did request to be burried next to her, it is debatable whether or not she loved him. Also, although Jane has been seen as innocent throughout history and as a bit of a puppet (she used to have the title "plain jane" when she was a lady in waiting) but when you look at the big picture, theres a high chance that she had a hand in Anne Boleyn's downfall. Notes for the next few songs: For Anna of Cleves, she actually has 2 songs. The first one is Haus of Holbien which gives a backstory as to how she came into Henry's life. Then there's Get Down, which is more of the typical song you expect from the queens. For Katherine Howard, it is very very inportant that you find a version with the live audio. Depending on whether you do studio recording or live audio can drastically change how you see the character.

Yeah, there have been heavy speculations about Henrys "Love" for Jane Seymour. He definitly held her in much higher regard than most of his other wifes, and there seem to be two major contributing factors for that: 1. The Heir. i mean, in the end, that is kind of what it was all about for Henry. JS bearing a male child definitly rocketed her right up in his opinion. But 2. He was actually quite unkind to her. While Jane is often portrayed as meek and agreeable, she had two recorded incidents of pleading or advocating for something against the Kings wishes, the first being to restore Princesses Mary and Elizbeth back to their Status as such and second to reinstate and rebuild some abbeys that were destroyed after the break from the church. Both Times, Henry shot her down rather brutally, even going so far as to "reminding" her of Annes fate. After this, it seems, JS did not ever question him again. So it is not so much that he loved her, but she seems to have been more easily controllable that KoA or AB. Of course, there is also much speculation on how long she would have lasted if she had not died in childbirth. Would Henry have kept her around? Or would he grow bored of her and replace her? Maybe he would wait and see if she could give him a spare on top of an heir, but I wonder what his reaction would have been if they had another child and it was a daughter. All Idle specultion of course, but i think it is fair to say that henry di not 'love' JS. He found her agreeable enough and she gave him what she wanted, but I don't think he cared much about her in the grand scheme

[@carolynv8979]

I’m so glad someone else loves this number as much as I do!!!!! Some people never get a “no way” moment, some people just love the undeserving and that’s NOT THEIR FAULT. it’s an indictment on those who fail to live up to the love they’ve received, not on the lover. There’s something victim-blamey about erasing people like Jane. I think her story matters, I think what was done to her still matters. I love this song so much.

[@TheMaleSoprano]

this is the updated intro for the current production. Seymour (in response to the queens): "Yeah ok, i was lucky. ok, i was really lucky. i was in love, I'd just had a beautiful baby, and henry was happy because thank god it was an edward and not an.... Edwina. **giggle** i was so excited. for his first steps, his first words, for not getting a good night's sleep for the next 3 years, but i never got to see any of that. y'know, people say henry was stone-hearted. uncaring. but i'm not sure that he was." (brief pause - Boleyn cuts in) "Yeah, come to think of it, there's this one really cute time when i had a daughter and he chopped my head off." Seymour (continues - talk to audience): "Okay okay look, i know that his times with the queens before me were hard, but they were also full of.....full of fire! he raged and stormed at them and because they're both absolute badass monarchs, they raged and stormed right back. but i didn't do that. **music fades in** instead i stood by him. like i was made of stone, i stood firm. no matter his flaws or his tempers, no matter my doubts or fears, i stayed there by his side. and it's not because i was scared, naive, or weak. it's because.......i loved him. **heart of stone begins** i'm pretty sure the intro you watched was before it went to the west end officially. the lines and costumes changed A LOT after their west end/broadway debuts. edit: seymour is inspired by Adele and Sia!!🖤

[@confoundedcoconut7500]

I think like a lot of people, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard are my favourites. However, I have to say seeing Heart of Stone performed live is such an amazing experience. I was sceptical because I was so used to listening to the original cast on repeat that the alternate casting for a later run would be a little lacklustre, but it really wasn't! The performer for Jane sang so beautifully and I loved the performer for Anne of Cleves' take on the character. They were all great really. So if you get the chance to get SIX tickets, I highly recommend it. (Side note: If you're not used to going to Broadway shows and are sensitive to sound, I recommend bringing some earplugs. Most songs you can feel in your chest and my ears were ringing after the performance. It was worth it but please take care of yourself if you're not fond on standing near the speakers at concerts.)

Mortius, I can't wait for you to see this live. I used to skip this song on the album until I saw the show and it's now one of my favorite songs in the show. The background vocals in the second and third chorus are the other queens sitting behind her on the stage while she has her moment in the spotlight. It's just stunning. Also re: inspired by pop stars. The original cast had set artists they were inspired by. I believe Jane Seymour was Adele. As new actresses have taken over the roles, they've drawn new inspiration from other pop divas to fit their interpretation and voices. (:

This song is so powerful because it seeks to describe the power and reasons behind unconditional love, affection and support. And it’s the closest I’ve ever heard someone get to putting those emotions into words. It Describes how unconditional love and support is a struggle but a strong POWERFUL emotion. It is not a weakness it is not fueled by fear, because it is love in spite of fear, in spite of hurt and suffering and in spite of death and illness. This song captures what makes this queen great and hits so hard because it describes how she loved unconditionally. Henry’s love was conditional and she loved him regardless of it. What an incredible song.

22:16 when all the WAiveds come in to help her with the chorus...you reaction was what i had been waiting for the whole video.... sitting there in the theater that just blows you away, especailly since most of the time it has just been Jane in a a stark white follow spot , and as the rest come in, all their colors come in to make it the warm glow of all the wives

[@fireflyer97]

You're going to want to watch House of Holbien and Get Down back-to-back. They essentially act like a pert one and two for the next queen's song.

[@sinnaro13]

Commenting for the algorithm. I found your channel from your Six reaction videos and am loving the content and your reactions.

[@VictoriaStarratt]

Heart of Stone is My absolute fave!

[@benjamin8547]

A thing that i find interesting its that the other queens dont are active participants on this song, they are only the back vocals... because they dont share the same emotions that Jane feels, they feel resentment but Jane doesnt regret how she lived her life, she doesnt resent henry and doesnt resent her son, she only grieves... this is a thing i think about alot

[@lunaponce4068]

I love these reaction so much and I can’t wait for All you wanna do, it’s my favorite 😊 Also excited for 4th of July ⚡️

[@Broeckchen]

"The delivery! Of the highbuh-wuh bwwf bp-!!!" *flails* Same, Mortius. Same.

[@rubywolf07]

Heart of Stone is my fave SIX song a long with Catherine Parr's song. I literally said to my phone stop pausing it because I waiting for the reaction to the belt near the end. It's one of my favorite parts. Always hits me in the feels

[@GabyAMF]

This man is gonna die when he hears "all you wanna do". That one makes me cry 90% of the times.

[@lizzie7654]

This was the first standout song from the musical for me - actually I saw it performed as a cover or something and actually drew me to check out the whole musical. It's got so much emotion and beautiful delivery.

[@felixhenson9926]

Who else is so beyond hype for Haus of Holbein?! Also i just wanna thank you for making sure you have captions! There are bigger YTers than you who make excuses not to.

[@phoenix_Talaria]

People who have first hand knowledge of needing something that isn't always done tend to do it more where as those who've never needed something often either over look it or find a way to avoid something, example I'm HoH and have gotten decent at lip reading out of necessity at times so have a habit of making sure I do what helps me for others(such as not covering mouth when talking if I can help it), I also have visually impaired friends where image descriptions are needed so when I made a PowerPoint a couple years ago every image also had an image description yet none of my classmates even thought about it(they got points deducted for not even thinking about it)

[@samy_mob8755]

I first listened to this song from the recording and didn’t really liked it. But I went to see the show on the west end, and this song was just… WOW!! It really hits different when u see it on stage. The raw vocals are genuinely breathtaking!!!

[@julianaxihluke3748]

Heart of stone is something of a sleeper hit in the fandom. Everyone loves it as a song but it's such a break from the rest of the musical style of the show. Also (at least for me) the replayability is pretty low or I would never stop crying. But it's definitely one of the most powerful songs in the show.

[@deboralibardi15]

Hi, new subscriber here! About the captions: thank you very much for adding them, I'm not a native English speaker and even though my listening and reading in English is more advanced than my writing, I still have difficulties with some words I don't know or different accents and the subtitles helps a lot! I really like how your enthusiasm level is the same as mine, I feel like I'm watching with a friend 😂❤

[@felicitymcdonald24]

If it makes you feel any better Mortius, it took me a red hot second to realise the issue with the "playing my heartstrings like a flute" line, like literally even with the fanart on screen it was still another second or two before I was like "wait" 😂🤣

[@SimsAllAround]

Every time they hit that high note, the TEARS spring forth - every single TIME

[@Miscellaneous_Minx]

I’m related to Jane Seymour through my mothers family and this song hits hard Edit: It’s also funny how this song references the elements and literally lists them in the Avatar cycle (fire, wind, water, stone) seeing as that’s one of my favorite all time series (the be clear, I know they weren’t trying to reference avatar in this song it’s just a fun coincidence)

[@IceZodiaczX]

What

[@Miscellaneous_Minx]

@@IceZodiaczX ye

[@IceZodiaczX]

@@Miscellaneous_Minx cool

[@mythicalunicorn4530]

I don’t know if anyone has said this yet but it makes it even sadder knowing her son dies at 15. At the end you see her hugging him as a kid in the afterlife because he died a kid. He never got to be grown like she wanted ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[@Angelderbat]

I am so glad I’m not the only one that this song hit like a truck. I loved seeing you react to this song. It’s cathartic to be In My Feelings alongside someone else. As for advice for coming songs: you should probably listen to Haus of Holbein and Get Down together. They make the most sense when listened to together, as both are about the next queen.

[@jennifermorris6848]

I got to see Six in person when we visited Britain last year. This song blew me away. The whole show did.

[@katiewisz4691]

You HAVE to listen to the "Alternate version" of this song! The harmonies are indescribable.

[@silverstarfinder]

For the algorithm - found your channel because I was binging the musical soundtrack. This song makes me weep. I can’t say how much I love it. Can’t listen to it a lot!

[@courtneystewart8006]

This song makes us all cry, EVERY SINGLE TIME!

[@Rainbowflames21]

This is my favorite song and I learned how to sing this song when I did vocal lessons

[@ScarlettRose228]

This song really resembles Eliza and Hamilton's marriage. Especially after Eliza found out Hamilton was cheating on her. This song resembles A LOT from Hamilton ❤

[@Milanesa27]

I keep the idea that All you wanna do must be stage version because IT'S SO MUCH BETTER. Side by side the other one is emotionless

[@AnyaTheRager]

Yeah this song always makes me bawl my eyes out, her voice is amazing

[@julvixxaciastka633]

Please, when you get to reacting to Howard's song, react to the live version of it, please! It has way much more emotion in it than the studio version!!

[@Boo62666]

When you watch All You Wanna Do, please please please also watch a live stage performance after the animatic if it doesn't use stage audio, it has so much emotion😸💜😿

[@robertolanzone]

26:54 Hell yes. I am physically unable to listen through this song without tearing up 🥲

[@paracosmicnana]

i just finished watching the video and wanted to leave this comment that i had the same reaction when i first heard this song. after listening to the entire album multiple times, my favorite songs have changed quite a bit, but i remember this one was the one that hit me the most that first time and at the time i didn't know about the inspiration coming from real life artists, but when i found out that jane seymour's was inspired by adele, sia, and celine dion, it definitely made more sense why it struck me so much that first time. i remember the first time i heard adele and celine dion, i was so in awe of the sheer vocal power they had, and this song being inspired from them just evoked the same reaction from me

[@charischislett-mcdonald2001]

This is the song from the musical that makes me cry every time I hear it. It might actually be my favourite from the whole show, because as you said @officialmortius it is the one that emotionally resonates.

[@DeadlyNightShade.Antisocial]

The waterworks have sprung so many times for me during this song.

[@stevekaylor7089]

Heart of stone is still consistently the song from six that brings me to tears

[@fable55]

This was one of my favorite songs from this musical and as a mother it always makes me bawl 😭

[@fourth_wall_broken3550]

This song always gave me Tightrope from The Greatest Showman vibes. Next up: the best song in the entire musical. The House of Holbin!

[@molly_parker_1847]

I highly recommend reacting to “Haus of Holbein” and “Get Down” in the same video. Not only is Haus of Holbein the shortest song from the musical but it also directly ties into the song “Get Down” and the Queen that sings it, Anne of Cleves. Also like everyone has been commenting reacting to the live audio of Katherine Howard singing her song, “All You Wanna Do” is the best thing to do. You will understand why once you react to it.

[@katiewisz4691]

If you've never watched Howard Ho's analysis' he just dropped this one. ALL of his stuff is fascinating, and makes listening to it that much more meaningful. He interviews the current broadway Jane, and talks about character all the things.

[@LordofFullmetal]

This may not be intentional, but this song in particular also reminds me of childbirth. There's noticeable breathing in the song (which from memory, none of the others really have) and just the way it starts out calm, then builds and builds until she is literally 'screaming'.

[@flylikeanowl8667]

this song was my favourite for the longest time. glad you loved it too!

[@silverfeigner]

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It really hits me in the feels.

[@luckyklutz26]

Thank you for reminding me what I loved about this song the first time I heard it! As time has gone on, I've started to wane on it, but this brought back a lot of the appreciation I initially had.
