"Wherever I Fall" is an interesting song about the letters to soldiers’ families should any of the young men fall in the coming battle. It feels like it would be a better fit for the film 1917as the boys go off to war; the fairly bland folk song has nothing to do with the rest of the story. It's a decent tune, but completely irrelevant to the rest ...
In "What I Deserve", the antagonist De Guiche (Ben Mendelsohn) sings about what he deserves in a very entitled, sinister manner. It's reminiscent of “Hellfire” from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but "What I Deserve" doesn't rise to anywhere near the level of a Disney villain song. However, it does feature the Dies Irae – “Day of Wrath” – motif commo...
"No Cyrano" starts off as a powerful sad song by Roxanne asking Cyrano to stay alive after he collapses in the ending of Cyrano. It functions musically as a reprise to "Madly," only this time it's sung as a duet by Cyrano and Roxanne. Cyrano confesses that he wrote the love letters, and Roxanne professes her love for Cyrano. Finally, the truth come...
"Your Name" is a song about being at a loss for words as Cyrano is infatuated by the name of his heart’s desire. The wordsmith is overcome by the beauty of Roxanne’s name, how it makes him feel, and what it represents for him. The tune isn't exactly an earworm, but is at least directly relevant to the plot. However, director Joe Wrightchose to high...
The song "Madly" marks the first time audiences hear Dinklage's rich singing voice in all its baritone glory. This song starts and ends with the question “Have you ever loved someone madly?” It functions as Cyrano’s “I want" song, sharing his desire for Roxanne while lamenting that it would be impossible for him to act on it given his physical stat...
Cyrano sings to Roxanne how he truly feels in "Overcome," a song filled with stunning lyrical imagery like stars diving into ocean waves. The word “overcome” was first heard in the song “Your Name,” but in this song, it carries more depth as Peter Dinklage's charactersings. Even though lyrics don't always have to make sense, the word is much more c...
It’s not a musical without a reprise. Sung by Christian, this reprise of "Someone To Say" highlights his skills of courage and fighting but also his lack of wit and poetic ability. Visually, the scene features a well-executed juxtaposition of soldiers training to fight, then dancing and singing in unison about love. By its nature, this reprise is v...
This is the first song in Cyrano. The melody in "Somone to Say" opens up the musical and functions as the main theme of the movie, often heard in the score to accentuate romance and desire. It is the classic “I want” song - found in most musical theater shows - that establishes Roxanne's plight and desires. An understated opening builds to an anthe...
"Close My Eyes" speaks to Christian's perspective of feeling close to Roxanne even though they are farther apart physically than ever. Punctuated by background vocals from fellow soldiers, the most stirring line is “I’d kill the world to get back home to you.” The song is beautifully sung by Kelvin Harrison Jr. from The Trial of the Chicago 7while ...
Continuing the spoken diss track rap battle from the dialogue, “When I Was Born” is a fun, intense song wrapped around the action of a sword duel on a stage. Visceral, exciting, and cleverly verbose, "When I Was Born" is a great establishment of Cyrano's multifaceted character. This is a very strong, entertaining song filled with plenty of humor an...
