Outside of the wonderful singing, cool lyrics and catchy melody I also love the combination of classic and electric intruments, especially the electric guitar and the clarinet with theremin near the end. Zeke refrencing Harry Potter, The Lion King and Beaty and The Beast throught the song also gives a nice charm to it since the original Goosebumps books came out in the 90s.

[@june_v_bloom597]

I love all of the musical inspiration from the original phantom of the opera musical in this song! Yet it manages to stay distinct, its really well done!

[@chrisgibson4248]

Good that they picked a goosebumps story that can be a musical

[@tahraethestoryteller6079]

Never though I needed an interaction between Samantha Brown and Jeremy Heere

[@kayoangel]

why does this song go so hard? seriously why is this so good?

[@ashlisarang5381]

RIGHT! It’s been my most listened song of 2024

[@BoredOuttaMyMind]

This song is eerily beautiful Big musical fan here and I had to listen to the full song. Saw an amv using part of it - for Centaurworld, of all things. This is an amazingly done piece and you, and everyone else who worked on it, should be given the highest of praises. Bravo!

[@Casin0_Table]

Do you know where to find that AMV? I’ve been looking for it because I vaguely remembered seeing it but can’t find it

I really want to do a cover of this!!

[@firetypetoby]

Please do!

[@annepixiebettinger3593]

@@firetypetoby I would probably do both roles, just for fun. But would have to keep the singing soprano in the background cause my contralto ass can't make that noise without surprise spider involvement and I'm not ready for that level of performance yet.

[@Zarakion]

Glorious!

Please do another play on this PLEASE.

[@twist_ending7545]

Wait.. only two people sing/speak here. Brooke and Zeke. So why are there three names in the title?

[@annepixiebettinger3593]

I believe Stephanie did the operatic vocals in the background.

[@SB992REBORN]

VOCALIST DOING THE ACAPELLA IS HER!!!!!

[@appy1487]

i think thats the choir in the background

[@DannyAbosch]

can confirm! Stephanie did the operatic "Esmerelda" vocals!

[@starstriker2242]

I’ve seen the Phantom of the opera and this song summarizes the play so well, but even still I absolutely love this song it’s so cool

[@Tacticslion]

I mentioned elsewhere that while love the alternate musical they present here, but the changes are so... specific... I could actually imagine that it's Erik (the Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera) actually being the author of "The Phantom" from this book. "I'm going to make my own Christine! But better! And she'll be named Esmerelda! And unlike the real Christine, she doesn't need my help to become famous! And she loves me- I mean, the phantom, yeah- alone! And that no good stupid muscle head Raoul gets angry and kills me! Yeah, she didn't stop him this time! And then Christin- ah, Esmerelda gets super-sad and dumps that jerk! So she's sad that I'm dead! And he's sad that I'm dead! And then everyone is sad that I'm dead! Oh, they're so going to regret killing me!" I mean, he literally crafted an entire opera called "Don Juan Triumphant" simply to allow himself to live out his own romantic fantasies with Christine/as a reflection of his desires - it's *extremely* in-character for him to create a kind of "alternate history" version of the play. (And it's a tremendously better sequel/reboot than Love Never Dies, anyway.) XD

[@Kahtisemo]

​@@Tacticslion The fact they changed Christine's name but not Raoul makes this scenario even funnier 😂
