I have two wolves inside. 1 blown away from the absolute masterpiece I just witnessed, and awed by the care and respect for the original music and left with goosebumps over the swelling orchestrational work driving the music. The 2nd wolf just can't stop staring at the mask XD

[@thomasdevine867]

I dislike the mask. I'm bi, and I adore Colm's butch boy loveliness. Normally, the whole point of that type of mask is to exaggerate the masculinity or femininity of a face. Not only does the mask hide too much of Colm's lovely face, but it also but it desexes Colm's masculin face. I get the dramatic point and the reference to the play. But Colm is so pretty, I enjoy seeing that.

[@missdaisysunshine8633]

[@roeavet6563]

Lyrics for those who need them, (like me~): Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses Slowly, gently, night unfurls it's splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar And you'll live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly music shall caress you Hear it, feel it secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind In this darkness that you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before Let your soul take you where you long to be! Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet Intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let the darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night! You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night

The swells, the vibrato, the emotions coloring your voice... Bravo, sir! This song, done well, always gives me chills, and yours is one of my favorite versions. I'm just gonna go add it to several playlista now, don't mind me!

[@missdaisysunshine8633]

Same!

[@leafgreen27]

Colm, I have to tell you I have been listening to this musical since I was about 5 years old, as my older sister was a massive Sarah Brightman fan at the time, so needless to say this musical has always had a special place in my heart. However, I was never able to understand how Christine could become so captivated, so enamored of The Phantom, just through his voice. You are the first man I’ve ever heard in 27 years whose voice made that connection. This is the first time where I’ve ever felt that, yes…this is the voice that Christine could fall in love with. Bravo sir, and well done. This was pure joy. Thank you.

[@deedeesmith8944]

On the one hand I’m really surprised by your musical range. This rendition wouldn’t out of place on the stage… on the other hand, I guess I’m endlessly unsurprised by your amazing musicality. beautiful as ever!

[@user-tp1uw5ip3t]

The Phantom of the Opera is a childhood favorite musical. and you gave me the opportunity to fall in love with this work again❤

[@TineFederliebe]

[@blurred-antics]

Colm, the range that you have constantly astounds me. That vibrato? Those gorgeous high notes and baritone? The emotion? God, mate. This musical and song have been a favorite for me for over a decade, so I'm rather picky with covers, but your portrayal of the phantom -his longing and sadness- is so haunting and lovely.

[@kaelynshea5533]

I have heard many many versions of this song but I cannot remember any version as fragile as yours, so beautiful, so haunting. The way you portray the phantom in his sadness and love towards Christine and music is just insanely beautiful. Thank you for this music of the night. I will go to Spotify right away and put it into my lists❤

[@RachelHardy]

Not an easy song to sing, you killed it my friend! Honestly really cool hearing this sort of performance from you. 🥺

[@sub-zer0441]

He always manages to pick the best songs!!! Phenomenal job Colm!!!!!

[@lubystkaolamonola529]

Not in this case. He needs to train more, because he sounds like he is drowning. Geralt Butler was better .

[@NikNybo]

do stuff like this more often, it suits your voice perfectly, the soft tones, with the occasionally bassiness of your voice, perfection

[@CarolineWarren-bl5nj]

HOLY COW IS THIS EVEN THE SAME MAN!!???! Your voice is so beautiful and comforting 🤍

[@Hope-Arising]

Holy crap 😮 This is a different side of Colm. More musicals please. I'm still wondering how you got to the "soar" note. This is a masterpiece!!!

[@leekestner1554]

He is Irish even if he is not a tenor. I hypothesize it is something unique to that gene pool.

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

The folks in those isles must have a very strong minstrel gene in their genome.

[@lubystkaolamonola529]

Nope for me. I still think Gerald Butler was singing better. His voice was very confident, well trained, had also dark tune in it and also added with amazing acting talent created absolutely fantastic experience. The guy here struggles. He does his best but he struggles.

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

@@lubystkaolamonola529 Gerald is great. But this guy's technique is unique; not just trying to be Gerald.

[@lubystkaolamonola529]

@@cynthiagonzalez658 NONE tries to be Gerald. This is not the point. The point is to become phantom. Magical angelic voice, with shade of the darkness. This voice should enchant you with its beauty, carry emotions, creep into your soul and haunt your heart with the darkness and like a demonic possession.

Well Colm, as a very choosy connoisseur of all things Phantom of the Opera and when it comes to covers I'm extremely picky, I have to say you did an excellent job of this one. Your more operatic vocals in a majority of the song really carried the weight of the song as it ought to be, and you nailed that final drawn out note quite nicely. Well done! Commendable job!

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Thank you so much! That note damn near killed me, haha!

[@RedMenace446]

This song played at my Great Grandma's funeral. She meant the world to me. She lived in my family's home since I was too young to remember. I put on the Phantom of the Opera DVD for her so often since she couldn't figure out the DVD player on her own. Hearing this brought back memories I had forgotten for a long time. You did this song such justice, thank you.

[@wittyusernamefailed2357]

It's my lucky day, this is my favourite song from Phantom of the Opera. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought: yesss, it makes so much sense for Colm to cover this, he can shine both in the high and low notes, and be both powerful and bring out lots of that rare but amazing softness too, it will be perfect! And it was! This is my new favourite version, thank you! Though I have to add, your version felt like an honest Phantom opening up about what he loves, rather than the deliberate seduction I most often get from the song. Which isn't a bad thing at all. I'd follow this Phantom anywhere ;)

[@sbskinner369]

I love this song and wanted a cover of it for a while but was unsure if Colm could do it because of how high it is. Oh, what a fool I was! I am completely blown away. This was beautiful. Just showed to my mom and we both agreed that we have never felt so completely persuaded by a phantom before😄. She loved it.

[@braddub8145]

Absolutely love this! It's so different from your usual style of music. Definitely highlights your vocals as a singer. It's been said 'if you can sing opera, you can sing anything' and you said hold my beer. It's very impressive how you got the right tone for each word and how you held that note at the end. Also big respect for doing this song, everyone usually does the more well known song... petition for you to do some of the other songs from the Phantom of the Opera.

I've gotta say, this one surprised me. I never would've guessed I'd see a Phantom of the Opera cover from Colm. And HOLY MOLY is it incredible! If I had just played this in the background, I don't think I would've recognized his voice. He sounds like a completely different person and still knocked it outta the park! Maybe I'm crazy, but he sounds a little like Josh Groban in this song. If you ever read this, Colm, you never cease to amaze. I found your channel thanks to the bass covers, but stayed because of your flexibility and raw talent. Stay handsome, you legend. 💚

[@CeLillyMusic]

Okay this is probably the most wondeful cover rendition I've ever heard. PotO is my favourite musical of all time and the reason why I started making music in the first place. You sang it in such a fragile, meaningful way, that was absolutely mesmerizing. I only recently found you through your heavier covers and would have never imagined you can sing emotionally like this. Awesome work!

[@starstuff84]

Every song you make your own. I was curious as it's different from what I've come to expect of the songs you choose to cover. I am blown away, good sir. You've taken a musical theater standard and truly made it your own, unique and unmistakably yours. BRAVO!

[@MelleyWL687]
