We quickly realized that what started as just us messing around, was kinda insanely cool?
And so we wrote a song right there during rehearsal, around the story we made up, and added it into the show.
And that's how "Die, My Love" was born. She only exists in her live form. And she's very special to Troye and I.
Stagehands were working on a new setup above the stage for better lighting, when one stagehand lost his grip on some new rigging.
The rigging fell to the stage below crushing both the conductor and the opera singer beneath it.
He never got to confess his feelings. And their souls were forever suspended within the halls of venue.
So we devised a story about a conductor from the 1800s, who fell in love with an opera singer who often performed there.
He loved her from afar, but eventually after many shows mustered up the courage to confess his feelings.
He approached her during rehearsal one evening, when tragedy struck.
During that break from rehearsal, we were both thinking about how old the venue is since it was built in 1871. That got us thinking about ghosts, and if the place is haunted.
That means you'll also be able to listen to "Die, My Love" as often as you'd like.
@TroyeSivan created this track during rehearsal one afternoon, and it ended up becoming such a key part of the show and our entire collaboration.
