"Unworthy of Your Love" from Assassins

[@jenniferschillig3768]

It always floors me that if you hear this song out of context, you'd think it was a simple, heartfelt love ballad between a young couple named Jodie and Charlie. IN context, however...

[@hoof31]

Who here because of Politician from Netflix

[@arilsonromeu1832]

sean hughes literally

[@monitoler5721]

Yup

[@신영배-p4c]

think definitely the Politician version is better

[@BudaDangol]

Squeakys part is better in this version.

[@eternallyconfused]

Watched politician because of this

[@cykuta44]

It's such cute song... IF U DON'T KNOW THE CONTEXT pure respect Sondheim

[@crazyphan18]

Look up John Barrowman’s version from a Sondheim concert. They take out the names using “my darling” in place it does become a genuine love song.

[@alexanderthomas1869]

"He died so our love could live" "Where'd that kid learn to shoot, the Russian Army?"

[@nicholasmorgan7156]

@@crazyphan18 thats not the point of the song lmao

[@Kitama23]

When you DO know the context though, mostly it just makes me feel sadness for them. They're both lonely people whose world failed them. One of them is utterly isolated and the other taken advantage of mentally and emotionally. I love how the play has this sympathy for them while making sure not to absolve them.

[@liampoulton-king7479]

It’s really not. The song is about broken people who feel so worthless that they’re desperately looking for someone else to save them from their own despair. It’s an anti-love song.

[@jaysalvoro9834]

When did Bill Hader play John Hinkley? Jk, in all honesty best Hinkley I’ve heard since Alexander Gemigani.

[@TamannaDas]

Hahah I see the similarity too

[@philtrashno2]

I loved Ben Platt’s version, but I love this just as much! I like his voice a lot!

[@ozorcatherine9913]

Please how can I Download this song in Nigerian

[@OrangeXenon54]

This production was PHENOMENAL and honestly would work great as a national tour. The staging, acting, and singing were just beyond amazing and top quality in every way. I seriously wish I could have a recording of it or just another way to watch it again...

[@vocalman81]

Wow, one of the best Hinckleys I've seen. Definitely taking notes.

[@KaybleTelevision]

i was looking up the musical bc of the politician but this is,,, show stopping. their voices are everything 🥺🥺

[@kikihappy54]

Possibly my favorite song in the show, sung by two of Seattle's most talented! I remember seeing him in Urinetown at SMT and being blown away. Frederick is definitely a person to watch!

[@jackkramer1283]

Will from stranger things + Bill Hader...

[@xx_rai510_xx3]

ITS PERFECT

[@myeahonline]

I honestly thought it was Bill Hader so I freaked out for a bit

[@callumdoherty7204]

Took the words out of my mouth!

[@emmaisanerd1286]

My thought exactly

[@skraegorn7317]

I was in a production of Assassins in the pit orchestra, I was 2nd Trumpet with my trumpet teacher. What a show. This especially was such a strange song. It's a beautiful love ballad until you know the full context.

[@KillDevon]

Seriously this performance is everything

[@brookeb123]

Lyrics: [HINCKLEY] I am nothing, You are wind and water and sky, Jodie. Tell me, Jodie, How I can earn you love. I would swim oceans, I would move mountains, I would do anything for you. What do you want me to do? I am unworthy of your love, Jodie, Jodie, Let me prove worthy of you love. Tell me how I can earn your love, Ste me free. How can I turn your love To me? [FROMME] I am nothing, You are wind and devil and God, Charlie​, Take my blood and my body For your love. Let me feel fire, Let me drink poison, Tell me to tear my heart in two, If that's what you want me to do... I am unworthy of you love, Charlie darlin', I have done nothing for your love. Let me be worthy of your love, Set me free- [HINCKLEY] I would come take you from you life... [FROMME] I would some take you from your cell... [HINCKLEY] You would be queen to me, not wife... [FROMME] I would crawl belly deep through hell... [HINCKLEY] Baby, I'd die for you... [FROMME] Baby, I'd die for you... [HINCKLEY] Even though- [FROMME] Even though- [HINCKLEY] I will always know: [FROMME] I will always know: [HINCKLEY] I am unworthy of [FROMME] I am unworthy of [HINCKLEY] Your love, [FROMME] Your love, [HINCKLEY] Jodie darlin', [FROMME] Charlie darlin', [BOTH] Let me worthy of your love. I'll find a way to earn your love, Wait and see. Then you will turn your love to me, Your love to me... source: www.lyricsondemand.com/soundtracks/a/assassinslyrics/unworthyofyourlovelyrics.html

FAVORITE HINCKLEY

[@happybirthdaypaulie8584]

I am playing Hinckley soon. Would you mind telling me what tuning you used for your guitar? It's driving me mad!

[@juliamounce5374]

Upload the whole song? Please?

[@ratatatypes818]

i love this!

[@Alex-nf1jy]

WOW this is amazing

[@nathaniellee5277]

Interesting choice in having the dialogue start during the guitar opening

[@jadetuin9086]

Weird seeing this when I'm near where Hinckley lives.

[@ttorres5223]

Please tell me this whole show was recorded because I missed it 🙁

[@opticalman6417]

some people aint worthy of love so they just get faced with a life time worth of rejection

[@katiedambrogio8185]

he looks like bill hader

[@kelliebigler2949]

I get it . I love Sondhiem, but I but this made Jodie sick.

[@Emma-nq2vk]

I'm honestly here because of The Politician and I think that that version is better, but that's probably because they could do several takes and these people just had one.

[@artacunoxtreme1963]

It's also because nobody can beat Ben Platt.

[@hieuscottle2494]

Yes, they're singing live and in character. They're not just there to sing polished and pretty but actually portraying characters here. Also, I found Platt flat and totally character-less. He wasn't giving Hinckley at all.

[@ozorcatherine9913]

Please how can I download this song in Nigerian oh😭😭😭😭😭

[@Zoe-ko5zb]

John Darnielle

[@Artquillproductions]

Who's here because of Ms. Lola?

[@Charlie-cv2ce]

I think that the politician version is better

[@redstripedheart]

It’s been stuck in my head for two days 😅

[@richardstarkey2224]

Then go listen to that one
