Black Veil Brides - My Friends (Sweeney Todd cover)

My Friends (Sondheim)

My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?
Silver, yes
These are my friends
See how they glisten
See this one shine
How he smiles in the light
My friend, my faithful friend
Speak to me, friend
Whisper, I'll listen
I know, I know
You've been locked out of sight
All these years
Like me, my friend
Well, I've come home
To find you waiting
Home
And we're togethеr
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?
You thеre, my friend (I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd)
Come, let me hold you (If you only knew, Mr. Todd)
Now, with a sigh (Ooh, Mr. Todd)
You grow warm
In my hand
My friend (You've come home)
My clever friend (Always had a fondness for you I did)
Rest now, my friends (Never you fear, Mr. Todd)
Soon I'll unfold you (You can move in here, Mr. Todd)
Soon you'll know splendors
You never have dreamed
All your days (Will be yours)
My lucky friends (I'm your friend, and you're mine!)
Till now your shine (Don't they shine beautiful?)
Was merely silver (Silver's good enough for me)
Friends (Mr. T)
You shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious
Rubies
At last, my right arm is complete again!

I love how Andy’s obsession with Sweeney Todd never faded this many years later because mine sure hasn’t either

[withawolfishgrin]

Love that Andy's just gone "Fuck it, bring back the Sweeney Todd hyperfixation"

[ProteusPrince]

Inside me there are two wolves. One is a musical theater nerd. The other is a metal head. This is the most amazing way to satisfy them both. Andy really made this song even more hauntingly beautiful than the original. I’m loving the Sweeney Todd era

[megaspear]

Bvb makes black and white be a beauty of art and passion.

[kaylavoorhees]

Can we talk about how Andy literally nailed this. Seriously he needs to cover the rest of the songs. His vocals are literally matched perfectly. My ears are in awe.🥹

[dalekblep]

BVB in their Sweeney Todd era is a gorgeous sight to behold. I'm so glad to be here to witness it

[Ziffelzoovop]

It's so beautiful and unsettling and then terrifying in the best theatrical way

[BiancaRelit]

Sweeney Todd is my favorite musical, and one of my favorite Johnny Depp films, today seeing one of the bands I love most, paying homage to this musical, makes me very happy. Thank you BVB

[dellarosa]

The build up of the music at the end is sheer perfection. This is a perfect rendition of this song!

[thatonerylan]

Screaming, sobbing, throwing up over how beautiful this is

[The_Den_of_Monsters]

My favorite band and favorite Tim Burton film! Combined into one! Unbelievably awesome! I have goosebumps!

[nicoreuwu]

The best way to wake up in the middle of the night 🖤🖤🖤

[punkrdoodles]

Absolutely incredible. I’m just in awe. The world NEEDS you as Sweeney Todd on the big screen and/ or the musical theatre stage! What a voice 🖤

[Andy_beirsack]

I literally respect y'all so much i love how bleeder and i think this song is about REVENGE and how hes like "i will f*cking show you". Its AMAZING i love y'all

[chaoticcontrol]

I've missed slow songs like this from them, it reminds me of earlier albums from them when I was in high school

[ShayeVonSeventy]

So glad to finally see Andy Todd (Sweeney Biersack?) in an official release. BVB does the concept so well. There’s never been a more perfect combination🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[koro-kira]

As a Sweeney Todd fan and a Black veil brides fan this is the best thing I never knew I wanted!

[Jackson.]

Damn I never been this early. Always good to see new BVB videos in the feed!

[PoppRoxxs]

I love these guys, always have and always will.
Plus andy looks amazing, his voice sounds so smooth😻🤭

[thegothshoppe]

So proud that our sister company and studio, Blakwahl Studios, was the backdrop and set for this entire video. <3
