On My Own - Les Misérables (cover by Stephen Scaccia)

[@StephenScaccia]

Thank you so much for tuning in this week, Scaccia Fam. I'm so sorry for all of the emotions. I never felt this song so strongly until this week. I'm just missing Ricky so much. I'm always thinking of when I'll get to see him again. Thank you all for being so kind and supportive of the two of us. I know we both really appreciate it

[@ifritxi]

Stephen Scaccia This song was really tough to get through without tears 😭. I know some days are tough being apart but we are still going stronger than ever and it won’t be long before our next trip. We are getting through this together. I love you ❤️

[@StephenScaccia]

Ricky Castillo I... I know, babe... it was so tough to get through this song. But we can get through anything together, no matter what. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been since you’ve walked in to my life, and I can’t wait to see you again. I love you so much 😭❤️

[@eduardovazquez6708]

Thank you for your vulnerability. It always makes a difference to see the strength exemplified by someone who is struggling. Your love for Ricky was in every breath and syllable. Well done:)

[@bradymills5882]

How beautiful! Thanks for sharing... I’ll be adding this to my playlist for sure. ;-)

[@roydlchen2004]

Aw man, I'm in awe of you. Keep going.

[@jamesnetusil9297]

Do NOT apologize. Your honesty and openness is refreshing. I wish u two the best.

[@musicisthewindowtothesoul1674]

Please don’t apologize for your emotions. I could tell this song really meant something to you and that’s what makes it beautiful. Sending you hugs during a tough week.

[@heybro48]

your emotions made it perfect! Thank you for sharing; we can all identify.

[@blackfalcon1324]

I agree, so many singers are just moving their lips at this point.

[@ex-cabincrew]

Such a beautiful voice - why haven't heard this man singing before today?

[@avinaavalon8490]

Met today! Gotta love KZbin algorithms...

[@StephenScaccia]

I'm so glad to have you as part of the Scaccia Fam now! Better late than never! :D

[@vchin6596]

It’s so great to hear a strong male version of this song. That was well done. I also got emotional at the end.

[@allensvlog9339]

I felt it, iv'e never knew this song could touch my heart deeply🥲

[@BadPanda1]

My fiancé and I had a long-distance relationship. He passed away a few days ago. Yet he fought with incredible strength to survive. For our love. For our promises. In his last days, he listened to this cover a lot...

[@franktonsteedsman6173]

Thank you for being so honest - so sweet .

[@Andimoonshadow]

I have listened to many singers and artists through all my life and this one really took me to the place where he is coming from. 🥰

[@StephenScaccia]

I really appreciate that.. Thank you so much. :')

[@mattymariah]

This was stunningly done and so emotional. I’ve never heard the emotion truly nailed by anyone aside from Lea Salonga, until you. Third time watching and I’m still in tears. I hope you get to see Ricky as soon as possible. In the meantime, know you have given us such a gift through this performance.

[@StephenScaccia]

Matty Morissette thank you... so, so, so much 😭. I miss him so much, but I’m glad I was able to provide the Scaccia Fam with something they enjoy as a result

Wonderful maravilhoso Brasil 🇧🇷😘

[@wendysalinas5316]

"I love him, I love him, I love him, but only on my own." Amazing! 💗

[@JAStClair]

A beautiful performance that was heightened by your personal connection to the song and your love for someone special. That is always the best way to authentically express through son.

[@David-d8x2m]

Bro I was not ready for the emotional onslaught... All the movie and Broadway adaptations are very well done, but this has such raw emotion in it and I just can't deal 😭😭😭

[@david-somerville]

Beautiful. Emotional. True. Heartfelt.

[@glenstevens3152]

Stephen, I heard your performance of "On my Own" for the first time this morning. It had been reposted on a LGBTQ Facebook group for grieving widows and widowers. I lost my partner to cancer a year ago on January 3, 2020. As I listened, I realized that today was the anniversary of our first date together. The tears flowed like rain down my cheeks as I listen to it again and really listened to the words, This is a beautiful song and you do a lovely job singing it. Stephen, thanks for sharing your beautiful voice and especially this beautiful song with others.

[@StephenScaccia]

I am so sorry for your loss :(. I hope I wasn’t responsible for opening up any wounds, but my thoughts and positive vibes are with you!

[@glenstevens3152]

@@StephenScaccia, Stephen, Thank you for your kind reply. You are not responsible for the wounds. They are still healing. Perhaps the tears that I experienced were a part of that healing. I think the words to the song speak to the deep feelings of longing that comes from being separated from someone that we love or have loved and the heart's longing for the closeness to a loved one that we are being denied. This past year, I have taken many long walks and spent many hours in quiet reflection trying to reconcile the loss, and make sense of where I go from here. I think on some level the words speak to that experience. I have had long conversations with Mark, trying to find understanding. In those quiet, reflective moments, I have felt, or at least image that Mark is present in spirit and listening and aware. I remember seeing the musical many years ago on stage in Chicago, when I was a college student. I loved the musical, but this song never spoke to me as clearly as it does now. Keep singing! You have a beautiful voice! You do a beautiful job of expressing the emotion of the lyrics in a way that allowed me to hear this song as I have never heard it before.

[@danielpagett7393]

One of my favourite musicals. And now one of my favourite singers. Amazing 😍😍😍

[@adamlacy13]

Listening to this really hits home going through such a horrible time right now.

[@nalayat2050]

how fortunate you were to have someone to love and who loved you back. may you be blessed again.

[@andrewstiller1662]

What a beautiful tribute to someone you clearly love very much.

[@FlaviusHH]

Pure. Honest. Precise. Touching.

[@kenbraswell6984]

I love you!!! This is the 1st time I've ever heard you sing. I came across this video randomly but your voice...... wow!! So beautiful! Thank you!!

[@TheWeelburt]

Your speech at the end let a tear from my eye... thank you.

[@coraliejoy5396]

Sweet man killer voice. I have loved this song since I saw les mis as a little kid, and always hoped for a less operatic stripped back version. It belongs to you, I will keep forever x

[@KanaHyoshi]

I spent 5 years in a long distance relationship. I'm sad I didn't find this cover until now, but I am still happy to hear it. We are now married and have been physically together for 6 years, but sometimes I remember how those days apart were. I remember doing video dates and closing my eyes to pretend they were right there with me.

[@alelop1567]

Don't you ever be ashamed for showing your feelings...you might have edit it indeed, but by doing so you would have betrayed your own self, that uniqueness you possess. Endure Boy, real good things are never easy to achieve. God bless you both!

[@sylvainparadis1106]

Oh my god. I can't stop crying. You've unlocked all the emotions I kept inside since my bf died early this spring, at age 35.

[@StephenScaccia]

I am so sorry for your loss 😭🙏🏻

[@sylvainparadis1106]

@@StephenScaccia hello Stephen. Thank you for your reaction. I really wish that you and your bf enjoy every moment you spent together. My bf lived in Santiago, Cuba and we use to see each other 3 times per year and I've always felt blessed to have him in my life for all he taught me about life , from his situation in his country. May God take good care of him. Xox

[@sylvainparadis1106]

@Lisa A thank you

[@sandrapierallini8108]

You sang with such emotion that I knew it was genuine. You took me back to my lost love and I longed for him too...

[@epriuska]

No need to apologize for showing your heart. It’s incredibly scary, but it’s the only way for us to ever know one another. Thank you for the beautiful music and your emotional honesty ❤️❤️❤️

[@terrycarr-hall4246]

I am so moved right now that all I can feel are the tears rolling down my face. In love with the same man for 32 years and he’s still right here by my side.

[@randalloso1]

You are a wonderful human being, thank you for giving us your beautiful talent, greetings from Costa Rica Central America

[@ricardolima3634]

First time I've be touched for this song was more than 10 years ago when Joey sang this on Dawson's Creek. I'm remember that i couldn't control my tears... couple years ago i have opportunity to see Les Misérables at theater and again i cried like a baby. Now for the third time I'm here very deeply touched by this song. But for this time I can feel it taking over your emotions and so glad to see it singing by a man to another one. Thank you for that.

[@winwillwander]

Such a heavenly beautiful voice. Thank you for singing this Eponine song.

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

This Tempo is fantastic. This song deserves to be sung slower to savor every morsel of it. Fantastic

[@charlesduit5610]

Beautiful voice and yes we can tell you love him ❤️

[@bdougtxn1]

Beautiful.... Your emotions are palpable. Amazing.. heartfelt... beautiful.

[@darvinchia]

I feel you... I admire your love and braveness. Laban lang (Keep fighting!). Stunning performance indeed.

[@lillim.5060]

It definitely doesn't make me uncomfortable as it really shouldn't, you just showed how you feel. I think your emotions made this take on the song incredibly beautiful and heartbreaking

[@alyssaisabellamarcoux6074]

I love this!! I've been singing this song for a while now. For a man I'm not even with, but hope one day we will be!!

[@cleverkins]

Lovely... thank you for sharing your beautiful voice.

[@tubagusmuhammadyusufrifaiz2331]

By miles the best male version I've heard of this song! And I've heard a lot!

[@wengisnothere]

Awesome rendition. Sung with true emotions and feelings. Bravo 👏

[@superbeachmonkey]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift and your vulnerability.

[@klwl]

You are one of the rare few male singers of this song who did not switch the gender pronouns, which I appreciate especially after learning of your personal context and the aptness of retaining "he/him". Take heart that unlike Eponine's unrequited love for Marius, Ricky and you have each other, albeit long distance. Hopefully, the COVID-19 situation improves sooner than later, such that those who are kept apart (family members, lovers, partners, friends, etc.) can meet and be together once again....

[@xtian4584]

probably because of her gender or whatever sexual orientation

[@d.j.7069]

@@xtian4584 Yes, Eponine is written as a street rat, raging, heterosexual harlot. Her sexual orientation is paramount to the story itself!

[@blackfalcon1324]

I agree, I dont mind people switching pronouns if it is because of the meaning of the song to them, but I hate it when people change pronouns just because IM NOT A GIRL SO I CANT SING A SONG ABOUT A GIRL.

[@sweetiebuttons3498]

None of the singers change the pronouns. It’s hard to find a male cover that does

[@SkyGodKazuha]

@@sweetiebuttons3498 there's popular male covers that does that, at least back then. Why do you think we are appreciative who dont change the pronouns?

[@jamesemoreland]

The best thing I’ve ever heard to describe my feelings... I totally miss him and this rang my bell 🛎 😭

[@SWAluv]

Thank you for bringing such beauty to this song. I remember after seeing Les Miserables about 21 times now, the first time I ever saw it, this was my favorite song from the show. I believe that there are songs, some people should not touch, unless they know what they are doing. This is one of them, & you know what you are doing. Thank you so much. Hope all is going well for you & your relationship.

[@nathansummers7059]

You have a wonderful voice. Thank you so much in singing this song.

[@royhedrick1269]

Thank you for your incredible gift of this version of "On My Own." My husband Tom gave me the Greatest Gift of my lifetime. Truth... Love Never Dies. It is forever. What good would Love be if that were not true? December 11, 2019, at 10:30 am. This realization about Love, became experience for me. I lost my magnificent husband Tom to Cancer that morning. My gratitude for the 28 years of our incredible and monogamous life together. Well it can't be expressed in words. Love never dies, I know this now. Tom lives in my heart, and just like before. He will reach around and hug my heart ♥ when I need him. Believe me I know, Love Never Dies.

[@elenas.m.canonico2919]

I am sorry for your loss. May your husband rest in peace, and I hope you're doing okay now❤

[@09josephjohn]

This is my favorite Les Mis song and I thought Lea is the only singer that can nail this song but I was wrong aside from Lea, your rendition is the best. I don’t usually leave comments but I really appreciates that you sang this song from your heart because you were able to deliver that emotion to us your listeners. I can somehow relate to what you are going through since I am in a long distance relationship as well. Keep safe and godbless you! 💕

[@paulvalck349]

This is a beautiful song for everyone who has to live with an empty place beside them or seperated from beloved ones. It came right out of your heart. I once experienced a long distance friendship and it seemed very thrilling at first but it was also very difficult because of cultural differences, French being the language we both understood but was not our native speech and having to discover that my mate had some serious issues! I experienced joy, but also grief. Life is a duet and the second voice is grief. Sometimes the second voice can clearly be heard, then again only in the background or you don't hear it at all, but it never disappears! Carpe diem and enjoy every moment together as a gift. Kind regards.
