#WashingtonOnYourSide #OneLastTime #Reaction - Zábava
Since Washington was the first president, he started the tradition that presidents only serve two terms. There were people who wanted him to continue and he probably could have continued getting reelected until he died. But he thought it would be bad for the country for people to be president for life. So he just quit after his second term.
That tradition lasted all the way to President Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt just kept on running and got elected four times. He died during his fourth term. After his death, we added it to the Constitution that presidents are limited to two terms.
I thought maybe his term was up! Thanks for clarifying
@@SalvoG well yes, he decided himself that his term was up and after that every president continued the tradition of being able to serve only two terms like Washington. That why W. says "let us theach them how to say goodbye"
I think that if Washington was to be a president a president for life, it would've been too much like a monarchy---exactly what the colonies fought against.
@@sisterhoney61 I wish I could like that comment twice. That's exactly right.
when hamilton and washington read the speech together it's an actual excerpt from washington's farewell address to the nation. hamilton speaks it because he wrote it, and washington sings it because he delivered it. it's a nice touch
I love the switch too, where Washington slowly takes over. Sooooo gooooood.
Lin Manuel Miranda composed the music. Alex Lacamoire, the conductor, did the musical arrangements.
Actually, Alex Lacamoire co-arranged it with LMM, but Alex did the orchestrations for the score.
Thank you I was looking to find out who orchestrated the music
@@SalvoG If you want to see more of the work that LMM and Alex Lacamoire did together, listen to Lin’s first musical “In The Heights”. It’s literally the reason why Hamilton exists. After Lin finished his time acting in “In The Heights”, he took a vacation and bought a copy of Ron Chernow’s biography of Hamilton. The rest is history.
LMM also did the music for Moana and Encanto, different mediums but you can definitely feel his presence in both of them.
@@SalvoGIm also not sure if you know but Lin-Manuel Miranda also produced the soundtrack for Moana and Encanto he also played Alexander Hamilton in Hamilton
I always tear up during this song (and a lot of Act 2) because by this time Washington had given 40 years of service to his country, and he was intelligent enough to know that if he didn't step down at that time, there were large groups of people that wanted him to be president for life - and he knew that would make the country he fought so hard for into an "elected monarchy", and they had fought for freedom, not that. So he stepped down and opened the presidency to new people - and he died 2 years later.
And part of the song is an actual excerpt of Washingtons farewell address. Not to mention the emotion Chris delivers it with. It gets me every time.
Washington stepped down after serving two terms. There was no term limits back then he established the tradition that presidents only served 2 terms. It wasn’t until after FDR in the 40s that was elected for 4 terms that a constitutional amendment was passed the placed the oficial limit on presidents for no more than two terms in office.
Lin Manuel Miranda, the person you are seeing as Alexander Hamilton, wrote the Musical.
Took him 6(?) yrs to do so.
And you definitely need to check out more of LMM’s works bcuz all of them are just as good.
Some of his works are:
In The Heights (the first musical he wrote)
Hamilton (lol ofc)
21 Chump Street (a mini musical)
The songs in Moana
The songs in Encanto
he asked who composes the music. which would be alex lacimore i believe?
@@nyambura7698 LMM wrote lyrics and music (makes him the composer). LMM and Alex Lacamoire co-arranged the music. Alex Lacamoire orchestrated the music (that's different than composing it).
Maybe we can watch in the heights next
@@nyambura7698 no Alex lacamoire is the orchestra conductor, which is more of arrangements rather than composing which Lin Manuel did entirely
@@chaimalekkam4233 kk
As mind blowing as it is... Lin Manuel-Miranda wrote the story, the lyrics... and the music! One man.
The speech has parts of the real farewell address co written by Hamilton
Chris Jackson is just fantastic! Perfect performance!
Great reaction as always!
A few things about this song: Washington didn't _have_ a term limit. He established the Idea of not serving for life, notably making him different from a King and setting precedent for the 2 term limit and the peaceful transition of power.
He also died only 2 and a half Years later at the age of 67 of a Lunginfection.
I'd highly reccomend watching the version that the cast did at the white House shortly before Obamas end of Presidency. It was truly moving, not a dry eye in the house
There's a small extra bit of sadness to this moment, both for Washington and Hamilton. Poor George didn't get to spend much of that time at home that he was looking forward to, as he died only two years after stepping down. And for Hamilton, this was a pretty big loss that is kind of a big catalyst for everything going sideways, since the government no longer had Washington's wisdom keeping them all tethered to reality. And as far as I'm concerned, Washington was Hamilton's first major father figure after his real father walked out on Alex and his mother when he was a child, and the loss of Washington probably hit him hard and left him without a rock to cling to when things went south. (Not a spoiler because a) it's history, and b) Burr says in the beginning of the musical that he shoots Hamilton, so obviously something has to go wrong.)
This song makes me cry every time. I used to get weepy at inaugurations because of the peaceful transition of power (pre-Jan 6) and how historic it was.
Lin Manuel Miranda who play Hamilton is the person who wrote the songs
he wasnt the main one who composed the *music* which is what was asked. lin wrote the lyrics, and helped with the music. alex does the music.
LMM writes a lot of the basic tunes but Alex Lacamoire orchestrates and expands the music
@@nyambura7698 As I mentioned to your comment in an earlier comment, LMM is the composer. Alex Lacamoire co-arranged it with LMM and Alex Lacamoire orchestrated it. An orchestrator of a piece is not considered the composer. There are composers who also do their own orchestrations, but it is often a different person.
@@peggypoggio1916 got that in your first comment, thanks.
Lin Manuel Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for Hamilton.
I'm sure somebody has already said that if you want to really cry while listening to this, watch the video of them singing it at the White House just before Obama left office. That said, I really enjoy your reactions. You're not breaking things down, not explaining, you're reacting and it feels like sharing the experience with you. Thank you.
He could use a hug after that song. His face gets me every time
Chris Jackson’s performance of this song is honestly one of my favorites in all of Broadway ever. He’s so great.
I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO SEE "IT'S QUIET UPTOWN" AND "BURN"
great reactions as always
Something not mentioned before from "One Lat Time." The section that begins "So, in reviewing the incidents of my administration...", through the point when the choir rejoins, is entirely adapted from Washington's actual resignation speech that Hamilton helped him write. LMM felt that those words were important to include in this point of the story, so he found a way.
The last note gets me every.single.time.
So good! His voice is incredible. One of the best scenes in the play.
One Last Time is one of my FAVORITE songs. It makes me cry EVERY TIME.
at this point of history; there isn’t a maximum term. Washington just wanted to retire. He was trying to establish, changing of guard basically; as this was the experiment part of government. At this time; you don’t resign from power; as governments are largely monarchs
I am loving your Hamilton AND Pentatonix videos! Keep them coming!!
Right? The perfect combo
This is spectacular!!!! LIN took seven years to write and compose all Hamilton play. There is a movie about how this master piece was little by little made.
“Oh my gosh that was crazy, oh my gosh that was insane” -entire reaction
One last time is my favorite song in Hamilton, the vocals from Chris is amazing, it made me cry 😢
as many have already said in the comments, there were no term limits back then. at this point, Washington was the first and only President and was trying to set a precedent that leaders of the United States do not become glorified elected monarchs (something they had just fought against). since he was the first actual elected leader of the United States, the song is about teaching the country to move on and understand why it's a good thing to elect a new leader, rather than keep the same one. he also just wanted to retire because he had been serving the country for so many years in one capacity or another, first as a general and then as the leader of the country. if you want to really get emotional, there's a video of Christopher Jackson and Lin Manuel Miranda + the cast singing this song at the White House right before Obama left office, and it's super emotional. you can see people in the audience and even the cast tearing up. czcams.com/video/uV4UpCq2azs/video.html
great reaction, as always, Sal ❤️
🤗 Happy Weekend to you too! 😉 Think I need some Hamilton vibes after last few days! 🙄 It's been a rough few days and it's nice to have something other than TV to watch! ☺️ My brain needs some Daveed Diggs right now! 😁🐰
The one and only Lin Manuel Miranda (playing Hamilton) he wrote the whole thing play+lyrics and music, and it's a live orchestra conducted by Alex lacamoire
If you like this rendition, look up Kennedy Awards, they gave them a special honor and One Last Time was done then.
Loved your reaction!
Great video! I feel like I never see anyone mention your video background, so I just wanted to mention that I like it :) The whole thing is great though :)
You should check out the version of One Last Time the original cast performed at the White House for President Obama as he finished his last term. So powerful
One last time has got to be my all time favorite
I had the exact same reaction when I saw this!!!
Alex Lacimore does the composition of the music (you can see him in various places but he's the guy playing the piano in First Burn, which you shouldn't watch until you are done with this) and Lin writes the words.
I always feel like this is our prep song to get people's emotions going for some later things
That's incorrect. Lin composed the music. Alex did the arrangements - meaning deciding which instruments play which of the notes Lin wrote. ;)
Lin wrote it- melody and chords. Lac orchestrated it, and also does recommend changes at times, but it all goes through Lin.
@@TheAlmaward Well, Alex co-arranged it with LMM but Alex did the orchestration. Arranging and orchestration are actually two different elements.
Alex did the orchestration ( instrument arrangements) but Lin wrote and composed the whole thing
Lin Manuel Miranda, Washington was just done. He just wanted to be home
Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton) wrote it. Alex Lacamoire orchestrated it.
Don't know if this is mentioned but find when the cast performed at the White House just before Obama left and they did this Infront of him and a portrait of Washington. The cast in tears over Obama's term ending. It's something very special
Lin Manuel Miranda did it all...he also wrote In the Heights, and Moana, and Encanto, and maybe Tick Tick Boom...there's likely more that I don't know about.
Washington was tired. 8 years was more than enough, and he wanted to set an example to show the country and the world that you can have an ever changing government that will keep up with needs of an ever growing land, and you don't need a king to form a happy, peaceful and prosperous nation. It set the presidence of the peaceful transfer of government.
LMM directed the film of Tick Tick Boom. Jonathan Larson (who wrote Rent) wrote it.
Washington was the first president (April 30, 1789 - March 3, 1797). There weren’t term limits then. He wanted to retire after having served his country 40+ years. The song is about teaching the citizens that they could go on without him. That future presidents could continue his work.
Christopher Jackson is a boss.
Lin Manuel Miranda wrote the music for Encanto and Moana, and for In The Heights, which was another play that was made into a movie.
There was no maximum term then. He felt that the position should not be perpetual.
Lin Manuel Miranda (the actor for Hamilton) was the one who wrote the songs :D
Hamilton was called a monarchist because he believed that Washington should have a lifelong rule. Washington knew that the country he freed and ruled would need fresh new thinkers as it grew so he set the precedent that presidents could only run for 2 terms.
You should check out Hamilton at the White House and Kennedy Center Honors Hamilton
This was one of the more underrated, easily forgotten parts of the show.
The Tony’s remembered, though 😊
Christopher Jackson (Washington) was nominated for best performance by a featured actor in a musical. As were Jonathan Groff (King George), and Daveed Diggs (Lafayette / Jefferson), who both had showier roles (plus the all-important humor when it comes to likability).
Mr. Diggs took home the Tony. As did Leslie Odom, Jr., for best performance by an actor in a *leading* role, and Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler), for featured actress.
Philippa Soo (Eliza) was nominated for leading actress, but lost to the untouchable Cynthia Erivo for her performance as Celie in ‘The Color Purple’ revival. Lin Manuel was nominated for lead actor, but lost to co-star Leslie.
washington never wanted to be president. remember this is a man approaching his 70s, who never wanted to be president. he just wanted to go home and enjoy the twilight of his life with his wife. Something he deserved. Washington's final address as president is something i think every American should read once in their life. it's an amazing address by an amazing human being.
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote both the music and the lyrics.
BTW, Washington dies just two years after he steps down from the Presidency, so he may have felt his time was short and he wanted to spend time with his family.
Lin-Manuel Miranda (Alexander Hamilton) and Alex Lacamoire (conductor) composed the music.
You should see the performance of this number at the White House.
It’s because of him only served 4 years is why we have the 4 year term limit also when Hamilton starting talking he is quoting the real farewell address of Washington
Washington died only 2 years after he left office
In "Alexander Hamilton", anyway, he DOES have it clipped to his hair. It's just harder to see, for some reason.
you should watch this performance at the white house. One More Time for the Obamas. Very emotional
miranda wrote one last time FOR christopher jackson (washington) after he heard him sing saying with a voice like that, you have to write something specifically for it
Not after hearing him sing. They are really close friends. He said, whe you have a friend who can sing as Jackson does, you write him a song like One Last Time ❤
With regard to Washington stepping down it probably helped that he didn’t have any biological children so there was never really any question of a political dynasty like what happened with Oliver Cromwell and the English Civil War- Cromwell served as protectorate for life and on his death his son tried to fill his shoes and failed and ultimately Charles II was invited to come back and restore the monarchy. Washington always knew someone else would have to succeed him and took steps to make the transition as painless as possible. A few presidents attempted (or at least seriously considered) running for a third term but the only one to ever do so was FDR.

For all his faults, Washington had the will and principle to let someone else take the reins of power when he could have easily run again. That undoubtedly helped our nation survive its infancy. The follow through after a tectonic government shift is crucial, and Washington heled set a trend of limiting executive power to avoid abusing the office. Other revolutions have ended with presidents for life who gut the freedoms of their people. Not us. He also helped keep the Nation free of being reliant on a single unifying figure who in turn became a single point of critical failure.
Looking at you Simon Bolivar, Napoleon, Haitian revolution, and the various El Jefe archetypes.
.. I kind of hope this dude isn't an American, because if he is I'm genuinely concerned at the education he got....or rather, the lack thereof. Because you should not need and do not need to be a history buff to know, as an American anyways, that George Washington voluntarily resigned because that was how the two term system got set up in the first place. He was literally the first president, there was no real system set up yet and he took the reins and the leadership because everyone unanimously wanted him to take the role because he was such a good leader. But because he was such a man of great honor and integrity, he voluntarily chose to step down rather than stay president for life as he easily could have if he had wished. Like, I was just blown away that he was acting shocked, it was like someone saying there was only 47 states or something, like bro what? 😅
lmao Hamilton well Lin Manuel miranda wrote all the music he did vivo Moana and much more
not as good a last song you reacted to, buuuuut it was pretty fire
It was pretty damn fire 🔥
has it taken him this long to realize who Lin Manuel Miranda is? didnt he start this months ago lol
I know exactly who he is 😂 if Miranda wrote the music (which I’m aware) I was asking who orchestrated it? Who made the music come alive
@@SalvoG still surprised you haven’t done any research of the show after starting it 4 months ago. Can’t wait for the finale in 2024
