I know who you were
I've heard you voice
Crystalline, clear
I know who you were.
You played the heartthrobs,
The boyfriends,
The leads
You stole the show.
Girls who heard your voice
And saw your face
Swooned, and fell head over heels,
Girls I never knew.
But I know who you were
And you sang to me
Over and over
With each click, each replay
That I controlled.
I was barely a thought
When the show ran for the first time
On London's famous stage
But years later,
I lived on recordings long forgotten.
And I heard you sing
And I fell in love
Like so many did
All over again.
And I see you now
Never standing centre stage
And the limelight that lead you
Shone on someone else -
A new face
A new voice
Crystal-clear, strong, shinning
Just as you were
When I was barely a thought
You belt your solo line
Still filled with power
Clarity, and perfect vibrato
Acting never waning wooden.
And I see it in your eyes
Through every crease on your face
I hear it in your voice
And with one smile,
It seemed
That you were once again
The guy next door
If I squinted a little
And blurred my vision with tears,
I could see
Who you were
The first to take on the role
Bring the hero to life
And receive your unending applause.
It was you
And I see you now.
I know who you were.
But then I watch Anaconda ((an unfortunate experience)) and whatever and go back to my OLC clips, and okay, maybe I'm outdated, but at least I feel that I have class. No offense to anyone, just my personal opinion.
So, all my favourite original West Enders, please please please don't give up hope yet, because there is still one fangirl out here for you all, one fifteen-year-old schoolgirl who would rather listen to all of you and still thinks you talented, and wonderful, and amazing. And stay strong. Because I know how depression felt, and I hope that you will find the strength to come out with it. And I still love you.
Because you all are still big. It's the pictures that got small.
