"What is is like in his shoes...?"

I... I-I think I'm gonna go cry now.

THAT ONE PART WHERE BURR JUST KIND OF STOPS HAVING A BREAKDOWN AND LOOKS AT ALEX AND FOR A SPLIT SECOND IT'S THE DUEL BUT IT SWITCHES TO WHEN THEY'RE ALL DRINKING AND RAISING THEIR GLASSES HAD ME IN TEARS

[morgansholes]

He's not kidding btw when he says his "grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher"
His grandfather was freaking Jonathan Edwards, the writer of the sermon "Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God" and brought THOUSANDS of people to christ.
This was on his mother's side of the family, explaining why he called her a genious, and his father, who commanded respect, was the president of Princeton Academy, something he did not tell Alexander when he asked about how he graduated so quickly.
(His full name is Aaron Columbus Burr Jr, just a fact I find fun)

Okay, but I just realised that the lyrics “I am the only thing in my life I can control. I am inmitable, I am an original” is a direct quote from Aaron Burr himself.

“Talk Less, Smile More” is too.

If someone ever decides to make Hamilton into a movie, this needs to be the storyboard for this song.

What do you know,


YouTube likes Burr more than anyone else in the whole musical

[madysen]

Why do Burr's songs hit hard? It gives you a good life lesson. Dont just always jump at everything. Sometimes, you have to wait.

[pretty_bourgeois]

This is actually a song that saved me when I was having really horrible depression episodes and felt suicidal, cuz really the only thing I can do is wait. Like "If there's a reason I'm still alive, then I'm willing to wait for it" somehow kept me alive. This animatic made it so emotional, I honestly love this so much!!

[mbriggssys]

I am not joking, this is the video that makes me love burr, and cry a little

[jxp]

We told Hamilton’s story,
But we didn’t tell Burr’s

[tanushrmenon]

"When everyone who has loved me has died"
That line is just so sad because it's actually true. Theodosia passes away and just leaves Burr to take care of Theodosia Jr, who then dies at sea. This song is beautiful

[SeaFamii]

Burr has an affair
Everyone: Forgets about it

Hamilton has an affair
Everyone: The Reynolds Pamphlet

[francisissleepy]

**when an animatic makes you realize what's actually happening in the song**

Edit: wow when did this get so many likes it was two years ago-

[kentinson]

Burr: has an affair, sings a beautiful song and doesn't tell anyone about the affair
Hamilton: has an affair *tells everyone about his affair*

[bwreexd]

Start of the song:
Oh~ I love Theodosia!

End of the song:
FUCKING HAMILTON

[twilightrocks]

I never noticed how, near the end when Alexander is raising his hand, Burr is thinking that Alex is holding a gun and just waiting for what Alex will do

And in the end it's him raising a glass as friends.

Like damn, way to foreshadow the ending so beautifully (even though we all know it's going to happen)

[madowl-hatter]

those foreshadows of Laurens' and Theodosia's death crushed me and now I'm an emotional mess

[lhumyaki]

Since the first (or second, ) time I have watched this animatic, there's something who always hits me:

2:21 "He takes" *shows Eliza* Hamilton married Eliza, there's a lot of love in their relationship and everything is fine, when Burr only have a hide relationship.

2:21 "And he takes" *shows Washington* Burr tried to be his right hand man, ready to give some ideas, without sucess because Washington already chose Hamilton, who doesn't even wanted this.

2:22 "And he takes" *shows Laurens, Lafayette and Mulligan* so, when I first saw this, I thougt "Why are they here, at this line?". Then, I remembered "Aaron Burr, sir". In this song, the hamilsquad already know Burr, Szin's animation even make them close (well, not "super diper close", but still more close than just acquaintances who says "hello" to each other when they are meeting and that's it...). Then Hamilton arrived, and became friend with the whole gang... and Burr isn't a part of this gang.
So, I have two ways to see this part: one, Burr doesn't really have friends as close than Hamilton, Laurens, Lafayette and Mulligan are, so once again, Hamilton have something Burr doesn't have.
Or the second way: Hamilton just came one day in Burr's life and he took the people who were sort of Burr' friends, leaving him out.


I'm not sure, maybe I'm just over analyzing, but that's the kind of things I can't help but think about.

[yenyon]

the fact that Burr was pressured to protect his family's legacy at a very young age, and all the people he loved dying, and having to deal with all of these. especially when killed hamilton the guilt he felt for the rest his life. it just hurts man
