Description I drew the sketch for this while in Europe, not long after seeing Ramin Karimloo and Gina Beck perform "Phantom" in London. I guess you could say I was inspired!

"Past the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end...
Past all thought of "if" or "when"
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend..."

This is one of my absolute favorite songs from the show (next to "Music of the Night" and "Final Lair"... goodness, it's so hard to choose, but I finally decided that those are my favorites.)

Anyway. If you do comment, why not tell me what your favorite song is from the show? Is it the sumptuously romantic "All I Ask of You" or the beautifully inspiring "Think of Me"? Or is it one of the lesser-known tracks like "Wandering Child"? Give me your thoughts! I always like to hear them.

Point of No Return is my favorite too.

I love this! I love that it's such a close-up picture, I love the rich, vivid colors, and I love the details in her bodice. I love it all!

As usual, great job.

I wouls have to say my favorite songs would be Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Wandering Child (I wish they had that on the soundtrack CD!) Music of the Night (of course) and Masquerade. Oh! And Twisted Every Way. That always gets stuck in my head.

Aw, thanks!

They have Wandering Child in the full two-disc CD set. Or the Original Cast CD.

I'll have to find my mom's CD then, because she had the Original Cast, but she's lost it.

Haha, I've heard Prima Donna (my dad's favorite, oddly enough) and Music of the Night on Sirius Radio... Does that count? lol I guess I could go to Borders and look for it there.

Yes, it's an awesome cd! Michael Crawford is an amazing singer, and so is Sarah Brightman. Different, of course, but in many ways better than the movie cast!

Wow, this is pretty! I always the Overture, it' just a beautyfull and haunting score which always lures me away in my thoughts...

This is really awesome! I've always liked The Point of No Return song, too. My favorite song is the final lair one, though. It's just so powerful, and even more so after seeing the show. It's weird because it's my favorite scene, but when I saw it I was kind of sad about it because I knew the show would be over soon.
