les mis music on my mind

a friend of mine burned me a copy of the les miserables movie soundtrack

{i already owned the broadway soundtrack} but i am especially enjoying this music

because it not only has the lovely cast singing, but it has an additional song that was
written specifically for the movie.

it's called suddenly and is sung by hugh jackman who plays jean valjean. 

i literally get goosebumps every time i hear it 

{which is about 5x a day lately}.

the movie directors wanted to bring to life the chapter in the book

where jean valjean rescues cosette and raises her as his own.

he's a man who has never known love and suddenly finds it 

through this beautiful little girl.

the lyrics and the music are pure perfection to me.

if you have a minute, listen to this song, but better yet go see the film
so you can hear this song, and the other songs with all the stunning visuals.
warning: you leave the theater emotionally exhausted but oh so satisfied.

i just learned that the director of the movie,

actually went back to the composers felt the connection between
jean valjean and cossette was missing in the musical, and asked the
composers {claude-michel schonberg and alain boublil} if they
would create an additional song that captured this special moment
for the movie.  this song, suddenly was the result. 
goosebumps again...

have a fabulous weekend!
