*RECAST FOR LAURENS AND SEABURY* Hamilton (Fan Cast Recording)
John Lauri for Aaron Burr (Understudy)/Male Ensemble #1
Aaron Burr is a young revolutionary fighting in the Revolutionary War. He and Alexander Hamilton, although alike in some ways, tend to butt heads over their contrasting ideals, with Hamilton not afraid to take a shot, disregarding any risks, and Burr preferring to wait for the right moment to act. If chosen, you will be a part of the ensemble, providing background vocals, unless the role of Aaron Burr becomes open, in which case you will take over the role instead.
There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship headed for the new land
In New York you can be a new manI am the one thing in life I can control
I am inimitable
I am an originalI'm not falling behind or running late
I'm not standing still
I am lying in waitHamilton faces an endless uphill climb
He has something to prove
He has nothing to lose
Hamilton's pace is relentless
He wastes no time
What is it like in his shoes?I...I wanna be in
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
I...I wanna be in
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
I...I wanna be in the room…
The room where it happens
I...I wanna be in the room...
Ohhhh, ohhhh
I wanna be, I wanna be
I’ve got to be, I've got to be
In that room, in that big ol’ room
That was fantastic! Your voice gives off a rock singer vibe and I love it! I'd really like to hear you audition for John Laurens/Phillip Hamilton as well because I'm curious to see how you'd do in that role, especially with your unique voice. Nonetheless, you did a great job!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll record that part over the weekend! Thanks for your kind words! (Also S/O to Rockband 2 for teaching me how to sing)
