All I know is fear
And now I see the loneliness of losing all you trust
Day has turned to night
Stone has turned to dust
And now I need to find the words
When will someone hear?
Love that once was close
Faith that once was clear
Now all I've known and all I've loved is all I have to grieve
All that I've begun
All that I believe is just another broken dream
When will someone hear?
They seem so strong
They seem so sure
They'd take my soul
And still want more!
No one here will listen, it's not me I'm fighting for!
Now, I know, don't decide for me!
Now at last it's clear!
And don't think I'm that little girl they wanted me to be!
They don't know me now, fighting to be free
There's no on here to understand!
When will someone hear?
I will carry on, till the fear has gone
Till the day I find there's someone who will hear...
Above is a copy of the lyrics to the song I'm singing "When Will Someone Hear?"
I have highlighted the lyrics that I think are really relevant at the particular point I sing it. In contrast, to it being performed in the musical "Martin Guerre" I had to take a different approach to how the emotion had to be put across. As my character, Lou, I had to make sure I conveyed a plead, a desperation to be free from all the chaos and destruction in her life and of course all of the other innocent people that are involved as well.
I really enjoyed singing this song as it really helped me to connect with my character and convey the person that she is!
During this song, I am slowly walking around the stage and down the aisles as if I'm in my own world, trying to escape from the life she is living in whilst everyone else around me are frantically moving around collecting boxes and material to build the barricade for when the riots come.
