Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Emmy Rossum | Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera

[@lalalynnsey]

This is her standout song. She sounded great in the movie as a whole, but this song made me cry. Her voice is near perfect, especially seeing she was 16 here.

[@snippetsofvictoria]

She was 16 when she played Christine... production started in 2002, movie released just before she turned 18... makes her even more incredible, yes?

[@lightspeed2kmb]

the monkey box was left by now elderly husband Raoul. However, the rose and the ring that were already on the gravestone were left by the phantom, showing that he too has continued to love her his whole life.

[@loveblinkthedoor]

Her voice is just so beautiful. It goes perfectly with Gerard's voice when they sing together. I think they cast them perfectly.

[@legendofzelda28395]

Emmy Rossum is soooo beautiful. I mean...she captures so much emotion in her face, and when she sings it's just like arrghhhhhhhhh so beautiful. And when she sings from 2:33 onward I get constant chills. She was 16 years old when she got cast. That's incredible for a 16 year old, or any age for that matter!

[@Violeteyes93]

I love her voice and this song

[@sunnygirl925]

Emmy can still sing. and it's a MOVIE, not a stage play. they are both talented in their own right.

[@MinteyFruit1378]

In my personal opinion, I like this version of the song better than Sierra's. Sierra has a lovely voice and power when she sings, but I felt Emmy's was more personal. It sounded more to me like a daughter mourning over her father whom she loved dearly. The gentleness, the sweetness, the innocence, the desperation all seem more real to me. Sierra's felt more like a huge show, although it was done well. But then again, Sierra's was meant to be an anniversary.

[@7608lily]

Am I the only one freaking out about the weeping angels......

[@DefyGravity464]

I remember having this song on repeat for months and crying my eyes when I was 11 and my grandfather died. It sums up our relationship perfectly.

[@angelanixon9549]

makes me think of some one very special. my hero. my dad. love u dad .rest with the angels x

[@Flowerbarrel]

Some songs help as coping mechanisms, and this song really does. It's sad, because the woman lost her father who she loved a lot, but it's hopeful as well and she wants to be strong and move on. She's acknowledging her sadness but knows she wants to keep living. This song always reminds me of my grandpa. Thank you for uploading this!

[@FAPRAK]

I can't believe Emmy was only 16 when she performed this... she is amazing! Stupefying, breathtaking, spectacular!

[@CosmicSophie]

All the songs in this movie give me chills. So beautiful.

[@kaitybearperson99]

yeah, no, that's okay, I didn't need my heart anyway.

[@charlie0fan]

Sometimes I sing this sing and think about the first person I fell in love with. Not long after realizing that I loved them they told me to never speak to them again.

[@Sabby39308]

"wishing i could here your voice again, knowing that i never would" i feel the same about my nan and grandad:/ my grandads last words to me were "bye, i love you" makes me cry everytime i think of that:'( i love this song so much! because it's like im telling it myself. it relates so much to me. so thankyou:)

[@FunnySocks101]

This was my Dad's and I favorite movie. Now I dedicate this song to him. RIP Daddy.

[@perplexedpsyduck2837]

I wish I could sing like her... ._.

[@RImAPhan]

She has the most amazing voice! Truly sounds like some kind of an angel...I love you, Emmy Rossum!

[@SueHasy]

Missing my dad so much on Father's Day. Anyone know how I feel?

[@dleiataua801]

So glad to be a happy "stupid" "dumb" "ignorant" movie buff with this timeless film that all can cherish and enjoy whenever we want without being biased by Broadway and theatre and it's 100+ versions of the original musical Emmy and Gerard are our Christine and Phantom... deal with it!

[@GaNopper]

I dunno. I was a 11 year-old boy who loved it, and still love it for 8 long years. Does that seems suitable for an awnser? But i believe we are weird, somehow. In a better meaning of it.

[@cassadoodlez]

im 11 and my sister is 13 we loved this movie for ever and my sis is obsessed with it

[@sandrataylor9479]

I just watched the movie again after a year and still cried buckets. Perfectly cast. Brilliant!

[@Nightspirit7]

"Sometimes it seems if I just dreamed Somehow you'd be here" . . . :(

[@testify4peace]

I saw this live in Toronto when I was 12 years old and it was one of the most exhilerating moments of my entire life. Completely filled with amazement, still does it to me everytime I watch it.

[@jullachris90]

Is it just me who gets chills from all the angels...weeping angels?

[@paulinapierala]

Angels voice 😘😇😳

[@Barbarian604]

when I pass away I would love to have this song sang at my funeral

[@labros15]

Emmy Rossum with Sierra Boggess are my favourite singers

[@ronnymickle3457]

anyone else find it symbiotic that Raoul is wearing all white (and on a white horse) and the phantom all black

[@rumpleteazer33]

This song is so beautiful, the emotion this character portrays in this song is simply haunting. I get chills at times, this is so pretty. :)

[@Porridge1974]

Emmy Rossum! PEFECTLY CAST! :D She was amazing in that role!

[@lightspeed2kmb]

I saw this show in New York over 20 years ago, and there was most definitely no children by the phantom in the performance I saw. This movie was a pretty faithful adaptation of the broadway musical to my recollection.

[@EllaDancer98]

Gorgeous song sung by a gorgeous woman. But the whole time I was thinking "DON'T BLINK DON'T BLINK DON'T BLINK DON'T BLINK"

[@Kryxtonz]

I watched this movie for the first time last night, i cried a little then afterwards i find out my best friend has fallen in love with my boyfriend... so now i keep listening to these songs over and over... especially all i ask of you...

[@TheLizard199]

I get chills every single time i hear this song

[@musicequalslifelifeequalsm841]

When I was little I would skip this part because I thought it was boring, now I watch it and start tearing up. I want to play this part just so I can sing this song

[@soot_gremlinn]

GUYS. it's not about what she's wearing.. it's about the song, the epicness of this musical and film.. DAMN IT,.

[@Catlady414]

*Sigh*...Not scared of weeping angles. *Blinks*. See? Nothing. Now listen to the epicness of Phantom of the Opera.

[@atreides862]

Ok since I heard this beautiful woman singing, I truly believe in angels...

[@MrGlittergirl554]

Wow I cant believe Emmy was the youngest woman 2 play Christine when she was 18

[@alexkish3969]

LOVE THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!

[@xtheresaxo]

this song always gives me chills!

[@PikoAshy]

I want to sing this for my vocal class but it is pretty difficult

[@jackgeorge6091]

Love this show. Saw it 6 years ago and going back to see it again this year. One of the best songs in it too!

[@labros15]

oh my god she is soooooooooooooo beautiful

[@HeavenIsHeard]

The song is about sorrow and the inability to let go of a lost loved one. Weeping angels are very appropiate. One needs to have experienced this kind of pain to comprehend it's meaning. Hopefully an older person ... however, loss can come at any age. So let your words always be kind. No one is guarenteed tomorrow.

[@Epsonthegiraffe]

When I visited my fathers grave last month during All Saints' Day to light a candle I had this song in my mind.

[@Scemoth]

I love this song...so moving...

[@missAmericus]

i still cant believe emmy was only 16 during this movie! she has such an amazing voice

[@susanmowbray5462]

I feel it now even though my dads still here

[@tastymedleys]

Perfect...I was filled with The Angels take Manhattan emotions and suddenly this song popped into my head. Now I can't listen to it without being overwhelmed by the feels! "Passings bells and sculpted angels Cold and monumental Seem for you the wrong companions You were warm and gentle" ...I blame Moffat for everything.

[@ShinjiIkari459]

That voice.... how the hell does she do that!?!

[@TheRandomPhangirl]

I can't look at the tomb without thinking, "That's where Ramin's buried..." Creepy thought...

[@DGokeys1fan]

Doing this song for a talent show, but Emmy sets the standards too high for me to reach-3 she was the perfect Christine and Gerard was the perfect Christine. ALW knew what he was doing when he chose this cast. Amazing.

[@CarloftheBells]

I wonder how many Weeping Angels the Phantom had to take out to protect Christine....

[@beckiityler]

I sang this in my singing lesson a couple of years back - love this song :')

[@melco681]

i love this song, makes me think of my dad.......he died 4 years ago, and i miss him so much, i was so close to him and he loved to hear me sing too.

[@tazzybaby92]

emmy really sang this beautifully whoever's her voice coach needa pat themselves on the back cuz this performance is a marvel she really hit every note

[@superfan2122]

i can not belive how talented she is i love her!! she is an amazing actress and singer!!!>__6

[@fieramea13]

Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink! Good luck! Love finding fellow Whovians ;) Makes my day.

[@Annaisse090]

When I saw this moment I cryed.. and now i crying again.. :( This is soooo beautiful! and sad..

[@anightscarlet]

I can't even watch this video; I'm too afraid that the image of the Weeping Angels will become angels.

[@leeniebeanie478]

Love this song! It's so emotional. Makes me want to cry.:)

[@barbaracharette3459]

Interesting how Jelousy can bring about rude and stupid comments..This is a beautiful song sung by a woman with a beautifull voice....

[@stellawaters9168]

i do my daddy had cancer and died a year before father's day :(

[@SKayLynneV]

[@DotteDabbles]

[@susanmowbray5462]

[@LittleMissBeth23]
