Miranda also said to Grantland (repeated elsewhere) that he considers this one of the best songs he’s ever written: We describe how Hamilton can be used to teach economics by examining the lyrics in sev- eral of the songs from the musical. I think we’ve all had moments where we’ve seen friends and colleagues zoom past us, either to success, or to marriage, or to homeownership, while we lingered where we were-broke, single, jobless. Lin-Manuel Miranda spoke about the philosophy behind this song with The New Yorker:
During this number, the ensemble, who are actively dancing for the vast majority of the show, sit in chairs around Burr as he sings, literally watching the song go by them, “wait for it.” The song’s visuals and staging reinforce Burr’s lyrics and philosophy. The piano melody at the beginning is echoed later in “Burn.” The bass that comes in when the lyrics start also appears later, in “Non-Stop.” The musicals creator and writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also played the title role in the original Broadway cast, calls Hamilton the story of America then. The beat on the first half of the song closely resembles dancehall reggae you can compare the rhythm with that of Kevin Lyttle’s “Turn Me On,” which it matches almost exactly. This soliloquy is sung by Aaron Burr midway through the first act of the show. Life doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep living anyway We rise and we fall and we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm still alive When so many have died Then I'm willin' to- Wait for it.
It’s treacherousand constantly thrilling. Come enjoy songs, performances and dances from your favourite musicals such as Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Hadestown and much much more performed by our talented Musicality members. Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it I'm not standing still I am lying in wait Wait Wait Wait Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb Climb Climb Climb He has something to prove He has nothing to lose Lose Lose Lose Lose Hamilton's pace is relentless He wastes no time Time Time Time What is it like in his shoes? Hamilton doesn't hesitate He exhibits no restraint He takes and he takes and he takes And he keeps winning anyway He changes the game He plays and he raises the stakes And if there's a reason He seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit- I'm willing to wait for it Wait for it, wait for it I'm willing to wait for it. The music is continuous, so unlike, say, a Pinter play where if you forget a line your scene partner can save you or you can fill the pause with some action and vamp until you get back on track, in Hamilton, that train goes by quickly, and you’ve got to figure out how/when to jump back on. Musicality is back with our annual spring showcase This years theme is will explore storytelling in every aspect love, power, evil, fantasy magic.
