Love how for the first time, Burr is faster than Alex _except_ for the part where they both agree to give the world to their children. Because it is their children who convinces Alex to wait for it and Burr to move nonstop. Really foreshadows when their character foils flip and how it culminates with Alex throwing away his shot and Burr standing up for something.

gotta admit, this makes a LOT of sense. But, while the harmony is beautiful, I do think ultimately I prefer the final version. It allows both singers to sing a kind of emotional song they don't really have in the rest of the play, in the sense on how they both love their children and how they plan to make the world better for them.

I think I would’ve liked the song way more if there was a third verse where they overlapped both of their verses. It would give them a moment to have a song to themself, before we get thrown into the emotional combination

@@Thatbendyfan_ that’s my gripe with a lot of musicals actually. A lot of songs with a bunch of verses overlapping at once.

@Ozloz

@@superawesomezebra3857 Most overlapping verses will be leitmotifs, so the things they are singing have been sung in the show before that moment. Most good composers do that. For example in Non-stop in Hamilton, everyone is singing a part of their own song. George Washington is singing History Has It’s Eyes On You, Angelica is singing Satisfied, Eliza is singing That Would Be Enough, and Burr is singing Non-Stop. This way you don’t actually have to pick up every word to understand what they’re saying, you pick up one or two words and go “oh that’s what they’re saying”. Good composers will also make sure there are moments where you hear one line over another, for example while one person has a pause for a couple beats someone else keeps singing, that way you can hear them. Another example of a way it’s done differently is in Holy Musical B@tman, during Dark, Sad, Lonely, Night, they start with just one line and you focus on that, then add another line on top and you focus on that, and so on and so on. Also none of the words are anything super important so it’s not a big deal if you miss something, everyone is talking about being lonely and wanting someone else there, and you get point after a couple lines. If composers don’t do either of these things then it’s also possible that the specific information in the verses aren’t super important. For example in Opening Doors from Merrily We Roll Along, after Frank reveals they only have a week or so before opening, everyone starts complaining and their voices overlap, it doesn’t matter that you can’t tell what exactly they’re saying because all you need to know is that they’re upset about the lack of time and preparation. They do this again with all three of them arguing in Old Friends Sorry for the essay

I love how color is used in this. Through out the musical, its shown that Alex and Burr are rivals, which is shown by the color of their clothing Alex > Green, and Aaron > Magenta Which are shown to be opposite colors.

The overlap gives so much more depth to the song

i love how the lines fit perfectly overlapped i wouldn't mind this being the one used tbh

the thing that breaks my heart is that aaron, whos main motto in life is to talk less cannot stop talking about his daughter, while alex whos main motto is to never shut up, cannot form the words for his son. which just goes to show how affected and in love with their children they are

the "when you smile" 😍

"Dear Theodosia" has turned out to be one of my most favorite songs from Hamilton, and I am genuinely moved to tears at how majestic this sounds, I wish this was how they did it in the actual musical

The ironic thing about this is that Burr, actually knew his father, until he was a certain age, so his father was around, however Hamilton never met his father.

I think I had an eargasm when they sang “smile”😂

I like this more because it shows thst despite there differences they both have something in common their love for their children

I went to see the musical a few weeks ago. Even if its not the original cast anymore, I shed a tear. This song is so beautiful!

Why do I like this so much better than the version done?

This just makes it even more depressing and tragic how Hamilton's life ended

This is one of the many reasons why this song is in my top 3 of best Hamilton songs.

In my opinion, this is the most tragic song in Hamilton. Both of these fathers are welcoming a child into the world, expecting them to live wonderful lives. Yet neither Philip Hamilton nor Theodosia Burr-Alston outlived their fathers.

Isn't this how Lin intended it at first?

I wish this was the version in the Musical. But here we are! ❤❤❤

If you listen to the Workshop or Off-Broadway version, they do this AFTER they both got their chance to sing alone. So you get the best of both worlds that way!

I find it so interesting how in the song, Burr (the one who waits for it) is singing faster than Hamilton (the one who never learned how to take his time).

WHEN YOU SMILE WAS PERFECT OMGGG

A BOP and GOOD QUALITY❤ Cut it out

this is amazing😭😭 i miss 2020

I mean sure... But I cannot STAND for the life of me when Lin sings...

I like this version More

Well now we know why Hamilton's verse has so many breaks while Burr's verse doesn't. That being said, I much prefer the final version. The verses, despite Lin's best efforts, still clash and the final version allows us to fully hear each character's feelings about their own fatherhood. And while the verses probably would have turned out quite different if Lin had originally planned them to be separate, I actually really like how it all turned out.

This is good, but the way they actually did it let the narrative and melody breathe a lot more. This version is choking them both.

Burrs smile is so wholesome

This song is so sweet argh

Is it just me or do you also see Aaron burr doesn't make promises he can't keep because unlike Hamilton burr didn't swear to make the world safe and sound for his daughter because I'm guessing he knew anything can happen. But Alex , Alex he swore so fast but was the on to Barrie his child 😢. But that's just a theory a Hamilton theory 😂❤ love you all and remember Hamilton is on 🔝

Wow I love this!

This is better than the one on the play in my opinion. Love them both tho

Wow this is so cool

I cana see why they changed it. It's so that the audience was able to follow along. But... the original version fits so much better. I guess it's just better if there are lyrics so that people can still follow along.

0:35 WHEN YOU SMILE 😭😭 0:50 I swear that I’ll be arounnnddddd for uuuuu 🥹🥹 0:59 I’ll make the world safe and SOUND FOR YOU 🙃❤ Then this whole part 1:03 - 1:42 BTW these are the parts that I think are so cute and where they harmonise xx

Surprised that they didn’t just alternate per line.

I can typically see why a lot of creative decisions are made, like excluding "First Burn", or removing the kneeling scene from End Game, but I've given myself so much time and I still cannot fathom why this segment seems to be cut from the production leaving us with arguably the least liked song of the show due to what comes off as shallow word choice and empty space without this context. If someone has any info I'd love to hear more reasoning behind this decision besides maybe an extra minute to the song and having to write some sort of bridge between A. Burr & A. Ham singing the parts individually. Thanks for listening to my brief outrage.

kinda sad their kids died young

This is so gorgeous. I love this version. I just wish so much that Lin Manuel Miranda has let someone else play Hamilton. He is one of the most talented song writers, no question, but his vocals and acting are nowhere near the caliber of performers like Leslie Odom Jr. This song would be perfection if you had another singer on Odom’s level.

I can't sing both parts with it like that I don't like it😭

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but dear Theodosia was always my least favorite song of the play. The reason for this was that it felt like it wasn't as fleshed out as his other songs, though I always liked the second half of the song with the harmony. This. This feels right, this feels like how it was meant to be. It flows right imo. I love this so much.

it was perfect until the end, when you added that other music. music videos should NOT have other music anywhere in them, i don't want to hear a whole other song for 5 seconds before i go to the next video. it totally ruins the mood.
