Wiff LaGrange and Sebastian Brummer use their compositions to transform love, pain and humor into medieval sounds
Neues Volksblatt
The final duet "What remains" is in no way inferior to big musicals and has hit potential
Neues Volksblatt
Great feelings for the final song, [...] with Sebastian Brummer (as Quasimodo)[...]spread goose bumps.

Why
Ain´t I like you
Why
I am monster and beast

Why
Falls rain like lead
Why are you here?
You are free!

I dream of myself
Very carelessly - free
But no one will ever
See how I be

Why
´s no one listening to crying

Why
´s no one listening to screaming

Let my tears fall like stones
And do not peal out until death

Why
locking in
Why
locking out

A dungeon this world
Wallflower are wilted

Why
Ain´t I like you
Why
I am monster and beast

Why
Why are you here?
You are free!

Why why?
Sebastian A.M. Brummer
Gringoire and Quasimodo: singing - what remains

Gringoire: It was regrettable and honest
No, it was not nice
But it has shaped me


Both: What remains - What remains

Quasimodo: From a cut in your hand
A wart on the face
A man you know
From dawn to evening light

Both: What remains
Tell me what remains

Gringoire: Of questions that are not asked
Of words that are not said
Of deeds that are not dared
Of victims no one cared

Both: What remains
What remains

Quasimodo: It was regrettable and honest
But beautiful it was not and
What remains
What remains

Gringoire: It was regrettable and honest
No, it was not nice
But it has shaped me
What remains
What remains

Both: of wishes and dreams
Of love and money
Of knitting and trees
From the clown and the hero

What remains
What remains
What remains

Tell me what remains (Quasimodo)

Gringoire: It was regrettable and honest
No, it was not nice
No, it was not nice
It has shaped me.
Sebastian A.M. Brummer
