I love this song personally because it’s more than just Clyde not being able to “get it up” it’s him admitting to himself as well as Bonnie that his rape is still affecting him even tho the guy is dead, but it’s also Bonnie excepting Clyde for who he is, something that even in modern society isn’t done much or well
This happens way before the prison rape stuff. In the show (before it was cut) it was in the scene where he sneaks into her house before they first go to Buck and Blanche's and sing When I Drive

@@kkboligor7409 It was cut and im not sure exactly when it takes place, but they were trying to do the devils tango and clyde was having flashbacks to being in prison where he was raped
I'd read that when I was working on the musical. They changed the script a lot when it went to Broadway, so I'd been wondering how this song was fitting in.
Performance anxiety is like stage fright, so maybe the creators (in the early drafts) were contrasting it with Bonnie's ambitions of being an actress. In other words, she obviously has no stage fright, but he has trouble performing.
musicaltheatergeek79 After Clyde went to prison he was messed up and that us so sad, i mean a lot of their story is really sad and messed up and just.... a lot.
Yo everyone else in the comments interpreted this song WAY differently than I did, haha. That's probably how it's meant to be heard but it never even occurred to me until scrolling through.
I deeply regret looking at the comment section. I thought it was a song of them being to old and tired to do anything. I thought it was about Clyde being sad/ashamed that he isn’t the “uncontrollable and wicked” boy Bonnie first fell in love with and now he just got a soft heart and old bones. I didn’t know it was about intimate performance after prison. I love this song but I can never listen to it the same way again
Yay, you made it to the end of this fantastic musical 😊 before you put it on repeat, hear me out: Starry the Musical is about Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo! I recommend you give it a listen, its my new favorite. Just wanted to put it out there more! It's still really new, but if you liked this, you'll probably like Starry. Thanks! Have a great day, stay safe!
I know this is supposed to be after Youre Going Back To Jail, but i feel like it fits better if it were after Raise A Little Hell given the context of both songs
Possibly after This world will remember us so that they're out of jail. Or like, right before Bonnie. Like she got up and had shit to do and he's just in bed musing on her and how much he loves her
@@BelladonnaJojo nah, in "Bonnie" he says he's making love to her, but this song says that he can't do that yet just after prison, so like ... It's probably after "This world will remember us"
naw, this should be the penultimate song they sing while they're driving to the place they'd get ambushed and killed. i think it would make sense that they are reveling in their last moments of heaven, probably knowing/thinking they'd never get there in the afterlife.
Reading the lyrics might help you out. But essentially the gist is, Clyde (probably after his abuse in prison) is having some trouble getting intimate with Bonnie. He can't "get it up" for her. She loves him anyway. "Just lying with you is perfect." Definitely the most heartfelt portrayal of this I've seen in media. Usually it's just played as a joke, but this song takes it seriously - I personally love it, but I can also see why it might not do so well with audiences.
Sorry this is late but this isn’t in this version of Bonnie and Clyde (2011 Broadway)like the person above me said, but more specifically it was in the 2009 version where it comes after You’re Going Back to Jail according to Frank Wildhorn’s Bonnie and Clyde website
@Kathleen Parsons this number was supposed to be before Clyde and bonnie even head to bucks house so it is before he went to eastham prison farm thus he wasn't beat or raped yet. Although, the lyrics do heavily suggest to that which makes me think that the directors couldn't decide where to put it.
Who would have thought a musical about two of history's most notorious criminals could be so moving?!

I've never heard a song about a man's failure to perform, but it comes across more sweet than silly.
Wait I'm sorry what?

Hearing this after Dying Ain't so Bad, it kinda gives me a feeling they're reunited in heaven lol
What if they went to hell?
Then they're reunited in hell, haha
yoyoeldas just saying, they are definitely in hell
Yeah but I mean,,, at least they’re together
Me too:) That's kinda what I pictured
This feels like they've put their deaths at the end and this was the song they were supposed to sing while slowly dying :'(
SniperVulcan77 That would be cool, but not how it happened. They died instantly. :)
@@amandachristensen1757 thanks for that😅

Clyde:
Feel sorta clumsy
I guess I'm rusty
Ain't done this since
God knows when
It may take some little time, babe
Till I raise hell, again
Bonnie:
Just hold me, darlin'
That's all I needed
You ain't got nothin' to prove
Just lyin' with you is perfect
We'll spoil it if we move
Clyde:
I ain't been sleepin'
Too good for awhile
But I'll soon be, ?old lover boy, Clyde
Bonnie:
Don't worry
Let's take it slow, babe
One night at a time
Just stayin' close will keep me
Satisfied
Think I'm in Heaven
Clyde:
Feel that way too, babe
This night should've been
So much more
Bonnie:
I told you
Bein' with you is enough, babe
Both:
This never happened before...
This never happened before
I thought this was at the end as they were dying
Nope
Than what is this???
@@kkboligor7409 It was cut and im not sure exactly when it takes place, but they were trying to do the devils tango and clyde was having flashbacks to being in prison where he was raped
@@justsomewoomywithamustache4481 it was before When I Drive! So before all the prison stuff. It was the scene when he was sneaking into Bonnie's house
I actually find this song really beautiful
Beautiful song, beautiful performances, awkward subject for a song though.
The real Clyde was rumored to have suffered from performance anxiety, because of his ordeals in prison, where he was beaten and raped, repeatedly.
I'd read that when I was working on the musical. They changed the script a lot when it went to Broadway, so I'd been wondering how this song was fitting in.

I don’t think it’s an awkward subject. I think it’s sweet

Why tell me what truly happens
@@kkboligor7409 Clyde got beaten and raped on the daily in prison, so he's kinda traumatised here about that ...
well , they kinda died from a billion gunshot wounds in their early 20s.....so....yeh, no.
Me: oh, this is nice, I wonder what this song is about...
Me: **reads comments**
Me: oh... um... alrighty then...
I'm so confused what's going on are they talking about the show Clyde or the real one or actor wtf just happened
@@kkboligor7409 Do you get it now, or no?
@@newsies_obsessed8486 no help me idk either🥲
@@kkboligor7409 The actual Clyde. The press made up stories that Clyde couldn't get it up, that he was gay, that Bonnie was a prostitute etc.

I grew up on the original film so just looking at this, I haven't seen this remake but it sounds good.
Thank you so much for uploading all the songs! You really made my day!! And I'm gonna buy the cd for sure ;D
Love this sssssoooooooo much!!!!!
What is the subject of this song? Such a beautiful song, but I'm confused.

Hey! I'm listening for the first time, where does this fit into the musical?
it was cut during the early stages of the show, actually. just included on the cd as a "bonus track"

Rebecca Brogan it’s not in it, but it sounds like their last time getting it on? I don’t exactly know.
