Similarity of Phantom of the Opera with You Are My Hiding Place?
Disregarding the instrumentals and dramatics, do you find their opening stanzas similar?

Comparing info from imdb , wikipedia and various sources
shows that the hymn “You are my hiding place” was published about ~15 years before Andrew Lloyd Webber published the “Phantom of the Opera”.

You are my hiding place is a song for God and Phantom is a dark, mysterious and powerful song 
Weird how those 2 things can sound alike.

Emmy Rossum glows in a breakout role as opera ingénue Christine Daae, and if phantom Gerard Butler isn’t Rossum’s match vocally, he does convey menace and sensuality in such numbers as “The Musi… |
