I’m starting to be obsessed with the ‘Hamilton’ the musical. I’ve been listening to the ‘Hamilton' soundtrack these days, which is really good. I love it. So, I’d like to write about it here. In the past year or so, I couldn't avoid the word ‘Hamilton’. Whenever I looked at Twitter, Youtube, entertainment news websites, it was always there. Along with applause and very high reputations. (FYI, ‘Hamilton’ is an American musical about the life of Alexander Hamilton.) Last week, I finally got the CD. To tell the truth, my expectations were not very high at the time. It’s because I’m not the kind of person who enjoys rap, R&B, hip-hop, which are used in the musical songs. I didn’t even know who Alexander Hamilton was. But now? I’m busy listening to it, reading lyrics and doing some research about Hamilton and the American Revolution. I even sing along with some parts such as “Rise up!”, “Look around, look around”, “What’s your name, man?”, which makes my husband giggle. I want him to get into it, too, but I don’t want to impose my will on him, so I’m okay with enjoying it alone putting my earpiece on. The frustrating thing to me is that I can’t follow the story while listening. My English skills haven’t reached to that level yet. (I wonder if it could be possible some day.) As a result, I have to look up a lot of words while reading lyrics. I’m now working on the third song. There are forty six songs in this album. I have a long way to go. However, I find this process interesting after all. The harder I work, the clearer the story becomes.
