Had a talk with joanna yesterday after lunch, thanks dear, it's all coming back to me now...and i've rediscovered les miserables! the music, the emotion, the story. it really is the best musical ever, coz there's not a single one out there that can capture the soul of the human spirit as well as les miz can. and jo, if les miz gave you french, then it gave me singing. yup, i never knew what singing actually was till i heard the power and the emotions behind each song. i've heard them countless of times ( yes i used to play it every sunday ) since i got the cd in p3, but a decade later my heart still aches for fantine's dream and my soul stirs when the students ask, do you hear the people sing?

Do You Hear The People Sing?
Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again.
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again.
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give so that our banner may advance?
Some will fall and some will live, will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the matyrs will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again.
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
