Best. Eponine. Ever.



I always liked Les Miserables. So when I got the chance to see it again in London, I jumped at it. Didn't matter that I had to drag two other friends to come and see, it was so worth it. Even if I had to pay for the other two (which I didn't.)

Completely blew me away. Nostalgic yet new at the same time, with the songs taking on much more meaning and undertones. It is believable that these people have done the show year after year, it was splendid.

I always found Eponine much more outstanding than Cosette, for some reason. The London cast only reinforced that opinion for me. Nancy Sullivan is a fantastic Eponine. Doesn't help that she's a flaxen-haired beauty with the voice of an angel. Sigh. Could a couple more girls like that fall out of trees please?

This is one of my favourite songs from the musical. She's singing about unrequited love. Hopelessly romantic, but it's a thing I do, I guess.

Every Breath You Take

Every breath you take
(and release, slowly expressing yourself in an explosion of emotion)
Every move you make
(taking in sweet release, covering the world in a haze of colour)
Every bond you break
(into a million little pieces, too small to see, lying around an arterial chamber)
Every step you take
(away, without looking back, always focused inwards, never into the distance)
Ill be watching you
(with breath bated, with eyes torn, with heart asunder, with life worn)

Every single day
(and night it commands my mind)
Every word you say
(in anger, in sweetness, in sternness, in love)
Every game you play
(throwing my heart to new heights, sinking to deeper depths)
Every night you stay
(in your dreams, in your nightmares)
Ill be watching you
(with breath bated, with eyes torn, with heart asunder, with life worn)

Oh, cant you see
(pain within belies pain without)
You belong to me
(and i was meant for you)
How my poor heart aches
(pounding, ripping, tearing)
With every step you take
(away from me)

Every move you make
(sensuous, vivacious, alluring)
Every vow you break
(over and over again)
Every smile you fake
(for yourself, for myself, for ourselves)
Every claim you stake
(for I'm yours, now and forever)
Ill be watching you
(with breath bated, with eyes torn, with heart asunder, with life worn)

You Came - Kim Wilde

After a long search, i finally found this song!

Someone I know is staring at me
And when I look into her eyes
I see a girl that I used to be
I hardly recognise
Cos in the space of a year
Ive watched the old me disappear
All of the things I once held precious
Just dont mean anything anymore
Cos suddenly

You came, and changed the way I feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

Ive never felt good with permanent things
Now I dont want anything to change
You cant imagine the joy you bring
My life wont be the same
And Ill be there when you call
Ill pick you up if you should fall
Cos I have never felt such inspiration
Nobody else ever gave me more because

You came, and changed the way I feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

I watch you sleep in the still of the night
You look so pretty when you dream
So many people just go through life
Holding back, they dont say what they mean
But its easy for me
Since you came
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place
You came, and changed the way I feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

Hmmm. Mambo, mambo, mambo... where is my mambo......
Something interesting - Besides singing, this artiste is an accomplished gardener. How cool is that?
