    I have to say, I'm actually pretty shocked that almost every single one of the comments here is someone asking you for something. Almost no one is offering thanks or praise for what you've done here.
    This is a really really beautiful, nuanced rendition of a truly amazing song. Thank you so much for your effort and your craft. I'm really enjoying singing along with you.

    I never meant to make it such a mess
    I never thought that it would go this far
    So I just stand here sorry
    Searching for something to say
    Something to say
    Words fail, words fail
    There's nothing I can say
    I guess I thought I could be part of this
    I never had this kind of thing before
    I never had that perfect girl
    Who somehow could see the good part of me
    I never had the dad who stuck it out
    No corny jokes or baseball gloves
    No mom who just was there
    'Cause mom was all that she had to be
    That's not a worthy explanation
    I know there is none
    Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
    Words fail, words fail
    There's nothing I can say
    Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
    And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
    And it's right there, right there, right there
    In front of you
    And you want to believe it's true
    So you... make it true
    And you think maybe everybody wants it
    And needs it... a little bit... too
    This was just a sad invention
    It wasn't real, I know
    But we were happy
    I guess I couldn't let that go
    I guess I couldn't give that up
    I guess I wanted to believe
    'Cause if I just believe
    Then I don't have to see what's really there
    No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than
    These broken parts
    Pretend I'm something other than
    This mess that I am
    'Cause then I don't have to look at it
    And no one gets to look at it
    No, no one can really see
    'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
    Before I even turn the key
    Before I make the mistake
    Before I lead with the worst of me
    I never let them see the worst of me
    'Cause what if everyone saw?
    What if everyone knew?
    Would they like what they saw?
    Or would they hate it too?
    Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
    All I ever do is run
    So how do I step in
    Step into the sun?
    Step into the sun

    words fail has to be one of my favourite songs from dear Evan Hansen. its such an emotional song and without all the other instruments and just The piano its even better. thank you so much, if i use the original backing track i end up trying to sing the normal notes and have a hard time lowering my voice because im so used to hearing the music with the amazing vocals and my voice is not that good, so its hard for me to hit notes, though sometimes i can do a good belt, but anyway with the piano it allows me to lower my voice easier and makes my voice sound so much better, so thank you for all your piano covers, you are truly an amazing person

    Yo no quería un desastre hacer
    No creí que llegaría hasta aquí
    Aquí estoy apenado buscando qué puedo decir, qué puedo decir.
    Lo sé, lo sé, no hay nada que decir.
    Yo creí que podía pertenecer
    Pues yo no tuve algo así jamás
    No hubo chica perfecta que sólo viera la mejor parte de mí.
    No tuve un papá que no se fue
    No hubo chistes ni béisbol
    No madre que estuviera ahí pues solo había que ser mamá
    No es una digna explicación
    Yo sé, no hay ninguno
    Nada puede dar sentido a lo que pasó.
    Lo sé, lo sé, no hay nada que decir
    Excepto que a veces todo lo que quieres
    Y todo lo que deseas tener está
    Justo ahí, ahí, ahí ...frente a ti.
    Y tú quieres creer que es real
    Así que... lo haces real
    Y crees que, tal vez todos lo quieren
    Lo necesitan
    Tanto como tú.
    (...)
    Esto fue sólo un triste invención
    No fue real, lo sé
    Fuimos felices
    Creo que no pude renunciar
    Creo que no pude dejar ir
    Pues yo quería creer, porque si sólo creo,
    No tengo que ver la realidad.
    Prefiero creer que soy mejor que lo roto
    Que estoy algo diferente al desastre que soy
    Y ya no tendría que verlo más
    Y nadie lo tendría que ver
    No, no deberían ver
    Porque aprendido a frenar
    Incluso antes de partir
    Antes de verme fallar
    Antes de dar lo peor de mí
    No los dejaré ver lo peor de mí
    Y si todos lo ven, todos van a saber
    ¿Les gustaría lo que vieron?
    ¿O lo odiarían también?
    Seguiré escapando de la realidad
    Pues yo sólo sé huir.
    Y como me voy a, acercar al sol...
    Acercar al sol.

    • @theatrepianoaccompaniments2147
      @theatrepianoaccompaniments2147  7 лет назад +10

      The timing is nearly identical to the cast recording. My best advice is to listen to the cast recording in 20-30 second segments, then go back and practice with the same segment on the accompaniment.
