DAN] Standing in this room Well, I wonder what comes now I know I have to help her But hell if I know how And all the times that I've been told The way her illness goes The truth of it is no one really knows And every day this act we act Gets more and more absurd And all my fears just sit inside me Screaming to be heard I know they won't though Not a single word I was here at her side When she called, when she cried How could she leave me on my own? Will it work, this cure? There's no way to be sure But I'm weary to the bone And whenever she goes flying I keep my feet right on the ground Oh, now I need a lift And there's no one around And I've never had to face the world Without her at my side Now I'm strolling right beside her As the black hole opens wide Mine is just a slower suicide I've been here for the show Every high, every low But it's the worst we've ever known She's been hurt and how But I can't give up now 'Cause I've never been alone I could never be alone
i like your vamping starting at measure 19. i've been playing around with different styles there, currently checking out what other people have done. i think i'll go for something a bit deeper/fuller/rockier since i have no backing strings, but i like your take on it. straightforward, melodic, and true to the obc recording.
What's fascinating to me about this is how little exact repetition there is. Bars happen once or twice and the next bars are either a variation of the bars from before or something completely new.
um so yeah. you do the piano accompaniment to all my favorite songs. ive been looking for a good accompanist here in the detroit area without any luck, and i need to do a vocal reel for my agent. was wondering if somehow we could do that with you playing and me singing on the internet somehow? not sure how any of that works, but you play wonderfully.
@vivalavieboheme14 Same as if you're writing a comment, and at the bottom of the white box there should be an option to create a video response and you can select an already uploaded video to send in
@drakevans It would be great to see a video response of you singing. A tutorial wouldn't be out of the question but I think it might be hard to do the entire song. Perhaps there is a spot you are struggling with? I've found with most songs, there are usually a couple of spots that really throw me and require extra practice time as well as little pencil note reminders for fingering, chords, etc.
@matao87 I agree that it's a bit faster than the original recording. I should have listened to it a couple times before actually playing it. The song itself sort of takes you away and the faster tempo felt a bit more natural for some reason. Thanks for the comment!
Ik Bleef - NTN Hier alleen in huis Denk ik: waar gaat dit naar toe? Ik zou haar willen helpen, Maar weet bij god niet hoe. Na zoveel diagnoses En na wéér zo'n loze kreet, Begrijp ik nu dat niemand echt iets weet. En elke dag wordt deze act al meer en meer gestoord En alle angsten binnen in me vechten om het woord, Ik kan wel schreeuwen - maar niemand die me hoort. Ik bleef hier Toen ze riep. Ik hield wacht Toen ze sliep. Nu moet ik door, alleen - Maar hoe? Heeft zo'n shock Echt zin? Geen idee. Duik er in, Ook al ben je nog zo moe. En wanneer zij weer gaat zweven, Hou ik haar vast op vaste grond. Nu zoek ik naar een hand - Maar wie helpt? Geen hond. En ik weet niet of ik zonder haar De wereld wel verdraag. Want ik wandel dapper naast haar Met een afgrond in mijn maag. Ook een soort van zelfmoord, maar dan traag. Ik bleef sterk En stabiel Toen ze vloog, Toen ze viel - Maar dit is erger dan voorheen. Zij is wild Op hol. Hou haar vast. Hou het vol. Maar ik leefde nooit alleen, God, hoe lukt me dat - alleen?
I'm not sure why youtube ditched the video reply option but it was pretty cool. If you upload a video using this track, be sure and message me with the link and i'll post it on my page.
@vivalavieboheme14 That's a good question. I'm not really sure since I don't sing :(. Check out user christopherjoshuarn video response to he's not here. This guy definitely knows the secrets to high quality recording.
Stando in questa stanza Beh mi chiedo che sarà Lo so devo aiutarla Ma com'è che si fa E quante troppe diagnosi Dei sintomi che ha La verità è che nessuno sa E recitiamo questa farsa Per assurdità Le mie paure stanno dentro Chi le ascolterà Non riesce a uscire neanche una parola Ero qui, al suo fianco Quando ha urlato Quando ha pianto Mi lascerebbe solo qui? Come andrà la cura Chissà se è sicura Ma non ce la faccio più Se lei se ne va a volare Io con i piedi a terra sto Solo non resto su Senza aiuto cadrò Non ho mai dovuto Affrontare il mondo senza lei Le sto ancora accanto ma Quel buco nero eviterei Il mio suicidio è solo un po' più lento Ero qui Per lo show Prima giù Poi più su Ma questo è il peggior giù che mai Soffre sì E tanto Le starò sempre accanto Non son stato solo mai Non potrei star solo mai
I tried posting a response to this, but for some reason it kept cutting the last 20 seconds off the video...not sure why. So I made one and posted it as well. Just check out my videos and it's there!

Standing in this room
Well, I wonder what comes now
I know I have to help her
But hell if I know how
And all the times that I've been told
The way her illness goes
The truth of it is no one really knows
And every day this act we act
Gets more and more absurd
And all my fears just sit inside me
Screaming to be heard
I know they won't though
Not a single word
I was here at her side
When she called, when she cried
How could she leave me on my own?
Will it work, this cure?
There's no way to be sure
But I'm weary to the bone
And whenever she goes flying
I keep my feet right on the ground
Oh, now I need a lift
And there's no one around
And I've never had to face the world
Without her at my side
Now I'm strolling right beside her
As the black hole opens wide
Mine is just a slower suicide
I've been here for the show
Every high, every low
But it's the worst we've ever known
She's been hurt and how
But I can't give up now
'Cause I've never been alone
I could never be alone
Justice is an understatement
N2n is my life! You're amazing
I thought you were actually the pianist for the show
Simply wonderful!
i have listened to this 7 times now and i can't stop help
This is officially the song from the show that got me hooked.
Truly beautiful, this youtube, and the magnificent show from which this is from, which deservedly just won the Pulitzer Prize, a rarity for musicals.
i like your vamping starting at measure 19. i've been playing around with different styles there, currently checking out what other people have done. i think i'll go for something a bit deeper/fuller/rockier since i have no backing strings, but i like your take on it. straightforward, melodic, and true to the obc recording.
great job!! thank you for doing this!! this is my favorite song in N2N! hands down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!
A wonderful reference to help me learn this for class. God bless and thank you.~
ugghhhh, i truly feel like i could play this so much better 5 years later....this is the song that started my love for N2N and Tom and Brian's work.
I just got the book...you make it sound so easy!!!
Thanks for this, man. I posted my video you're awesome
nice one bro!! awesome work!!
@miep8675 doesn't he? lol. Tom Kitt's a great composer, lol; but some of it can be really tough!
Practicing with this got me 2nd at a statewide musical theatre competition. I will be posting a response to this soon
+Ethan Estrem please do
What's fascinating to me about this is how little exact repetition there is. Bars happen once or twice and the next bars are either a variation of the bars from before or something completely new.
This is fantastic :)
This is amazing!
This is AMAZING! I'm going to video response of me singing soon :)
um so yeah. you do the piano accompaniment to all my favorite songs. ive been looking for a good accompanist here in the detroit area without any luck, and i need to do a vocal reel for my agent. was wondering if somehow we could do that with you playing and me singing on the internet somehow? not sure how any of that works, but you play wonderfully.
Fantastic! Too bad the songbook doesn't come with any of the doctor's songs though

your tempo is slightly faster than the original but this is great! :]
@spyderjosh Could you make a video showing your hands from above? I don't know how to read sheet music so I can't learn this.
I haven't played this song in years :) If your new to sheet music and piano, might I suggest you just learn the chords. They aren't too complicated.
Ik Bleef - NTN
Hier alleen in huis
Denk ik: waar gaat dit naar toe?
Ik zou haar willen helpen,
Maar weet bij god niet hoe.
Na zoveel diagnoses
En na wéér zo'n loze kreet,
Begrijp ik nu dat niemand echt iets weet.
En elke dag wordt deze act al meer en meer gestoord
En alle angsten binnen in me vechten om het woord,
Ik kan wel schreeuwen - maar niemand die me hoort.
Ik bleef hier
Toen ze riep.
Ik hield wacht
Toen ze sliep.
Nu moet ik door, alleen -
Maar hoe?
Heeft zo'n shock
Echt zin?
Geen idee.
Duik er in,
Ook al ben je nog zo moe.
En wanneer zij weer gaat zweven,
Hou ik haar vast op vaste grond.
Nu zoek ik naar een hand -
Maar wie helpt? Geen hond.
En ik weet niet of ik zonder haar
De wereld wel verdraag.
Want ik wandel dapper naast haar
Met een afgrond in mijn maag.
Ook een soort van zelfmoord, maar dan traag.
Ik bleef sterk
En stabiel
Toen ze vloog,
Toen ze viel -
Maar dit is erger dan voorheen.
Zij is wild
Op hol.
Hou haar vast.
Hou het vol.
Maar ik leefde nooit alleen,
God, hoe lukt me dat - alleen?
Do you have this as an audio file?
@bsusaxplaya I never saw the video response request come through. Try it again and I'll add it for sure. I've already added to my favorites. Nice job!
I'm recording myself singing to this! I just can't figure out how to make it a response? Did RUclips get rid of that??!
I'm not sure why youtube ditched the video reply option but it was pretty cool. If you upload a video using this track, be sure and message me with the link and i'll post it on my page.
you tempo is slightly faster than the original but this is great! :]
Excellent playing, the tempo is a little faster than the broadway recording, but very good work!
@vivalavieboheme14 That's a good question. I'm not really sure since I don't sing :(. Check out user christopherjoshuarn video response to he's not here. This guy definitely knows the secrets to high quality recording.
If I can figure it out...I'll post something with me doing both parts :)
how do i make a video response?
@spyderjosh ok, well I tried doing a video response for "If I Didn't Believe In You" that you did. Let me know if it goes through.
@emoboi415 Please do! Post as a video response as well.
i might try to do a vid response but its a little fast
Stando in questa stanza
Beh mi chiedo che sarà
Lo so devo aiutarla
Ma com'è che si fa
E quante troppe diagnosi
Dei sintomi che ha
La verità è che nessuno sa
E recitiamo questa farsa
Per assurdità
Le mie paure stanno dentro
Chi le ascolterà
Non riesce a uscire neanche una parola
Ero qui, al suo fianco
Quando ha urlato
Quando ha pianto
Mi lascerebbe solo qui?
Come andrà la cura
Chissà se è sicura
Ma non ce la faccio più
Se lei se ne va a volare
Io con i piedi a terra sto
Solo non resto su
Senza aiuto cadrò
Non ho mai dovuto
Affrontare il mondo senza lei
Le sto ancora accanto ma
Quel buco nero eviterei
Il mio suicidio è solo un po' più lento
Ero qui
Per lo show
Prima giù
Poi più su
Ma questo è il peggior giù che mai
Soffre sì
E tanto
Le starò sempre accanto
Non son stato solo mai
Non potrei star solo mai
I tried posting a response to this, but for some reason it kept cutting the last 20 seconds off the video...not sure why. So I made one and posted it as well. Just check out my videos and it's there!
I think it's a little too fast... Though, it sounds amazing! :)
Did anyone come here because of the Dorito queen?
Do you think you could do this again, a tad slower? It's rather fast! Sounds great otherwise!
Spyderjosh, amazing job! I tried to sing along - check it out at soundcloud.com/nolan6rey . I made sure to credit you and your page . Thanks.
Those tracks are great! Thanks for posting the link. Keep singing!
