I have to say, when I saw Jekyll&Hyde the musical, I was very skeptical. I loved Stevensons' novel, especially for the theme about keeping up appearances, but I thought that the musical was gonna ditch that, as happens more with musicals. But, when I heard this song, I was sold!

I love the hint of hidden sarcasm in the lyrics and performance.

My school's musical theater performed this for our last concert of the year, and I've fallen in love with this song! The choreography was incredible and the singing was amazing. Such sass in the choreography.

Two words; EAR CANDY

If all of society is a facade, a deception hiding our true natures, then does that make a person who is honest about themselves a fool or the most powerful person in the world?

I've gotta wonder why the town is so upset with Hyde when they sing a whole song about how they're all secretly evil too. They sing about the line we'd all cross if we could, but get mad that someone chooses to cross the line 🙄 Sorry Hyde doesn't adhere to your facade, he's being his true self

This is how I see the world. There’s different versions of yourself, and it all depends on who you’re with to see which version of yourself comes out. It’s really interesting, how no one else I know notices. For example, if you’re around a certain person for a long enough time, you’ll notice the way that they can switch ways they work, they’re valued at a given time. Everyone wears at least one mask. Whether it’s that you’re perfectly fine, that you’re perfectly perfect in every way, that you’re not mad, that you’re not scared, it’s all a facade.

I'm gratefully surprised. I was looking for Disturbed's song under the same title and gave a chance to this one. Nice, intense one.

This was stuck in my head even though I heard it about 5 years ago

I want a decent videogame of dr jekill and mr hyde with this soundtrack

Am I the only one imagining Hyde singing this with a group of bandits/gangmembers/all the criminals on the street? No?

I'm addicted to this song! It's brilliant! 🎧🎶🎶

English teacher showed me this, now I'm listening to it a bunch. Help.

The current scandals in Hollywood make this song more relevant than ever before.

Never has there been a truer song..

This song, though it's not my favorite--perfectly embodies the show as a whole. In the show (AND ABSOLUTELY IN LIFE), we have different "masks" that we put on, so that different people perceive us in a different way. You may act a certain way towards your family, but to a stranger, your significant other's family, people of power, etc--you'll probably act VASTLY different. There's nothing *wrong* with this; that's human nature. But I do think it's satisfying to the audience, that after Dr. Jekyll is denied, the board only saw "A frustrated scientist, hoping to help humanity via controversial methods"--but once Hyde begins hunting them down, they now see: "So...THIS is the true pain behind our decision/this is the part of Jekyll he didn't want to show the world?" Of course; most of the people never knew that Jekyll and Hyde were the same, but the MESSAGE that's conveyed, towards the AUDIENCE-- WE get that mindset. It's brilliant, in a morbid, disorganized and chaotic sort of way.

This is the opener to our marching band show I’m listening to get a feel for the Rhythm and it’s addicting

There are songs that are good, then there are songs... that are true.

My life's philosophy... Love this song!

There's a face that we wear In the cold light of day - It's society's mask, It's society's way, And the truth is That it's all a façade! There's a face that we hide Till the nighttime appears, And what's hiding inside, Behind all of our fears, Is our true self, Locked inside the façade! Every day People, in their own sweet way, Like to add a coat of paint, And be what they ain't! That's how our little - Game is played, Livin' like a masquerade Actin' a bizarre charade - While playing the saint! But there's one thing I know, And I know it for sure: This disease that we've got Has got no ready cure! And I'm certain Life is terribly hard - When your life's a façade! Look around you! I have found You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface, What is lurkin' there beneath it! See that face! Now, I'm prepared to bet you, What you see's not what you get - 'Cause man's a master of deceit ! So, what is the sinister secret? The lie he will tell you is true? - It's that each man you meet In the street Isn't one man but two! Nearly everyone you see - Like him an' her, An' you, an' me - Pretends to be A pillar of society - A model for propriety - Sobriety An' piety - Who shudders at the thought Of notoriety! The ladies an' gents 'ere before you - Which none of 'em ever admits - May 'ave saintly looks - But they're sinners an' crooks! Hypocrites! Hypocrites! There are preachers who kill! There are killers who preach! There are teachers who lie! There are liars who teach! Take yer pick, dear - "Cause it's all a façade! If we're not one, but two, Are we evil or good? Do we walk the fine line - That we'd cross if we could? Are we waiting - To break through the façade? One or two Might look kinda well-to-do - Hah! They're bad as me an' you, Right down they're boots! I'm inclined to think - Half mankind Thinks the other half is blind! Wouldn't be surprise to find - They're all in cahoots! At the end of the day, They don't mean what they say, They don't say what they mean, They don't ever come clean - And the answer - Is it's all a façade! Is it's all a façade! Man is not one, but two, He is evil and good, An' he walks the fine line We'd all cross if we could! It's a nightmare - We can never discard - So we stay on our guard - Though we love the façade - What's behind the façade? Look behind the façade!

I'm a nerd, so every time a guy breaks my heart this song starts playing in my head all ominously lol

This song is really good on a music and logical playing field for the musical genius that goes into the song lyrics discussion on the human façade in dead on,and how a human will ware a mask or in this case a façade to get what they want.

For marching band we used music from Jekyll and Hyde and I am in love with the music now XD

Do you want to know man's true self? Give him a mask.

This feels like they’re own ‘At the end of the day’ introduction piece…I absolutely love this and don’t know why I didn’t discover this musical sooner. I’m blown away by ‘Confrontation’ too. They way the performer has to switch between the 2 personalities in that song, arguing together blows me away.

I love this song so much thank you for putting it up

We did this song in Musical Theatre at our college Christmas Showcase. And we sounded amazing. I particularly enjoyed this song because I sing bass. Absolutely amazing song.

I totally started laughing every time your screen name popped up randomly!

You know, something just occurred to me. Is Hyde a reference to the word hide (as in hidden)? Meaning that Mr. Hyde is the hidden part of Dr. Jekyll?

I like this version, but I kinda like the concept version better.

Politics in a nutshell

I am doing this with my marching band love it so much ❤️

It's really hard to decide wich version I like more. I like the intro, the way some things are sung & some of the lyrics of the original but I also happen to like some of the lyrics from this version better.

We're doing an arrangement of this in my marching band, but I'd never heard the original... Holy crap. This is awesome! :DD

Thank you for this! They should do a revival of J&H..

Thank you so much for the lyrics :D just one thing it's "livin' out a masquerade" not livin' on :)

That singing is so amazing

This is my favorite of all the facade videos, good job!

MAN I love this song!

Favorite Musical!!

Brilliant song

Thank you for uploading this.

This is my favorite song. (: We're playing it as one of our songs for marching band this year. (:

great song. great video

:O lucky. I wish we would have done a play like this in middle school. If we had had this play at my school, I would make sure I get the lead, even though I have definite stage fright and fainted in drama class. I almost know the words to all of the songs by heart

Love this song. Lyrics have several typos though... their* & surprised*

The show choir did this and it was so good

One or two Might look kinda well-to-do - Hah! They're bad as me an' you, Right down they're boots! I'm inclined to think - Half mankind Thinks the other half is blind! Wouldn't be surprise to find - They're all in cahoots! At the end of the day, They don't mean what they say, They don't say what they mean, They don't ever come clean - And the answer - Is it's all a facade! Is it's all a facade! Man is not one, but two, He is evil and good, An' he walks the fine line We'd all cross if we could! It's a nightmare We can never discard So we stay on our guard Though we love the facade What's behind the facade? Look behind the facade!

When I first saw this musical in 2001, I didn't realise it was about Facebook/Instagram/Twitter et al.

While the song in the concept album is good, I prefer this rewrite because it not only focus on the rich putting up facades but it acknowledges that everyone regardless of class or background put up facades. I like the section: There are preachers who kill, There are killers who preach, There are teachers who lie, There are liars that teach It demonstrates that not only can the most respected members of society commit evil acts but that even harden criminals have the ability to do good. It comes down to choice and whether we acknowledge our ability as humans to do harm as well to do good.

Thanks so much! I was in this April 1st 2nd and 3rd 2011 of last year when I was a freshman we did Jekyll And Hyde! Can you please put up the other songs from Jekyll And Hyde?

This is the closest we’ll get to a song that describes humanity.

I loooooooooooooooooooooove this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

THEY'RE ALL IN CAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Je is I in french, thus meaning Jekyll and Hyde could be translated to I kyll and Hyde.

@geko7844 The man right at the end cracks me up every time. "Look beHIND... the Faca-AH-de!"

Oh hi...I was just reading you're dA journal entry xD - OzzyFan6url

I remember singing this for my 7th grade choir 😂😭

when your middle school's choir performs it and you spend an hour finding the song.. when you finally do... XD

I love this. I really do. But god forbid my meme ridden mind, why did they sing "They're all in cahoots!", now I IMAGINE ALL OF THE SINGERS INFORMING THAT THEY ARE READY FOR A OF KAHOOT QUIZ-

The second guy in the intro sounds like Govoner Ratcliffe from the Disney movie Pocahontas.

ur welcome our senior group from our acting school (Northern Academy of Performing Arts- NAPA) did this song at a charity song at the school and i just thought that this was such a great song.

That is some beautiful irony.

Am I the only one who thinks of Penny Dreadful when I hear this song?

I could dance to this

Does anyone know if this is released as a CD? I really love their version & I can't find it on Google Play

This sounds kinda like "Be prepared" from lion king

This song yells out Carl Jung's name from top of it's lung

YAYS

Opening parts remind me of the OST of The Medusa touch . . .

I wish there were captions (:

I can't believe I was fourteen when I did this show

we live in a soceity bottom text

1:33

I do. AND I SHALL SUB. TO YOU.

@geko7844 yea, I agree.

@geko7844 oh okay that makes sense than!

Why would you watch this in HD...it looks better but it is still just words.

why did they change this? The original concept album is b etter

@criminalminds101 Confrontation, Murder Murder, The Board Of Governors If you can find it, Letting Go, Bring On The Men, Lost In The Darkness,Once Upon A Dream, Take Me As I Am, and Dangerous Game please

Wildhorn wants to be Sondheim so bad lol

Hi there! Care to explain why you watermarked this video? Did you illustrate the video's background? Do you own the intellectual property of the lyrics? What part of this legally belongs to you to need a watermark attached? Genuinely curious.

Why do 23 people dislike this song?

the geko7844 that flashes at the top of the video is annoying.......psh

J

they said society? You for real?

this is not really the original. Look for the original concept album

I think you need to leave.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👎👎👎👎👎

I prefer the concept to this??? Strange
