Not sure why anyone would want this; it's simply 'Our Kind of Love' from Lloyd Webber's previous flop musical THE BEAUTIFUL GAME (which, incidentally, he also wrote with the insufferable Ben Elton), recycled and repackaged as the title tune to his unnecessary sequel to PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Worse still, the lyrics this time round reach an all time low in terms of originality and wit...so inspired are these lyrics that we even get lines like 'Love brings you pleasure and love brings you pain'...anyone remember the same line from 'Love Changes Everything' in ASPECTS OF LOVE? If that weren't bad enough, the main theme is a direct rip-off of 'Jealous Lover'. the theme tune to Billy Wilder's film noir THE APARTMENT. I am not one who routinely dismisses Lloyd Webber but this deserves to go out of print extremely quickly. A pointless, rehashed song for an even more pointless musical.

Was dissapointed with this, as i thought it was a book being paperback, it is the music sheet with words to song, but kept it just the same.

I'm very sorry, but I feel that it is highly unfair that such beautiful music like this has recieved but 1 star. I have seen the show, I have bought the cd, I have bought the sheet music and I couldn't be more impressed with this new musical. I must admit, I was dubious when it was announced that there was to be a sequel to the phantom of the opera, the greatest musical ever conceived, but as soon as I heard the sweeping melodies, the haunting refrains and the genius way that although LND is a stand alone musical, it fits perfectly both as a continuation of the phantom's story, and also musically, with the clever use of themes from the original as well as new melodies which fit into the genre of phantom, I fell completely in love with it.
Many people have slated the main title as a simple rip-off. These people obviously haven't read what Andrew had to say on the matter. Although he used it first in 'the beautiful game' he originally composed it with this in mind. He quickly removed it from 'the beautiful game' as he realised it was in the wrong place. The melody is simply beautiful. As is 'Til I hear you sing'. In fact, I do not dislike any of the melodies in this fantastic new musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, I simply love them all, and Gustave's motif from 'Beautiful'is as it's title suggests. Still, I suppose there's always a cynic...
