Why does King George sing alone?
Why is “You’ll Be Back” styled like a pop love song?
What inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda to write this song?
Videos
song in the musical "Hamilton"
Yes, I’ve read that it’s inspired by Brit Pop but I’m specifically talking about the section where King George sings “Da-da-da-dat-da-ya...”
It’s so familiar but not at the same time
I just had to ask you guys. I heard "You'll be back" for the first time like, 2 hours ago. And this song just makes me really, really sad. Like, at some point, heavy, in a way. I watched Jonathan Groff's performance and while the audience were laughing, I can't help but feel sorry for this character.
Even before watching any videos, listening to it... there's just something about the beat? The tune? I can't seem to put my finger on it. Am I just imagining this? Thoughts?
Edit: I forgot to mention I first listened to this song without historical context beforehand. Still sad though but not that much anymore. Thanks for the responses. 😅
i’m referencing when as the king walks away after You’ll Be Back. An ensemble member discretely hands a envelope (i think) to another ensemble member and something whispers to her, and then a British soldier snaps the other woman’s neck. What was that supposed to represent, and was was the point of it being there? I always find it confusing.
