I absolutely adore this song and I adore the voice that sings this song. Ramin Karimloo ( @raminkarimloo ) is an absolute superstar and it is thrilling to be able to accompany him, particularly this song as he was the original Phantom in LOVE NEVER DIES – his voice literally transcends.

This is the mega Fra Fee ( @fra_fee ) singing this beautiful cut song from COMPANY music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. I have adored singing and playing the music of Sondheim with him for nearly 10 years now and Fra never ceases to astonish me with his immense talent and musicianship.
