Suppose it's too late now, but the dynamics should be different than what was recorded from measures 69- 75. It goes forte to piano to forte to piano to a grand 3-measure long crescendo. I say that because it's in the music, in the original broadway cast recording, and pertinent to the musicality, acting lines, and story. Secondly, measure 90 is missing altogether. -- I don't offer this to be critical, just thought that the awareness may be beneficial to both users and the accompanist for future recordings. Thank you for offering a beautiful quality recording! =)
Hi there - Just wanted to reply to this comment so others are not concerned - all measures including measure 90 which is only a 3/8 measure (very quick) are represented in this recording. I am not playing every note of the accompaniment, but mostly taking the chords and making a hybrid version while sight reading the score, so it won't be 100% accurate. The dynamics are also there as much as I can make them in measures 69-78. I don't have a rock band behind me for (f) sections, and it doesn't do much good to drop the piano too low for (p) sections as my students get lost. It's accurate enough for any kind of practice or performance. Thank you!

I know that i have issues,
I face them, I swear.
Think I overcome them
Then turn - they're still there.
Wish that I was different
I'd like to let go.
But when I try to change
There's my past, saying no.
Maybe it's all 'cause of dad,

Or why not just blame mom
Who's been nuts my whole life...
When you've felt so alone since
The moment of brith
And you're struggled to find
Your own true sense of worth
When it seems there is no one
Across this whole earth
To depend upon, you carry on
Just like you always do
'Cause it's safer to rely on you.
Oh, it's safer to rely on you.
Seen a million movies
All selling true love.
Fantasies I'm not sure
That I'm worthy of.
Caution to the wind
My heart's been on display.
Still the end result is
It's not gone my way.
So when I date some new guy
Who's a deadbeat or jerk
At least I'm not so crushed
When it all doesn't work...
When you once, unafraid,
Wore your heart on your sleeve
And the ones that you loved
Chose to just turn and leave
Every day it gets harder to
Somehow believe
You will survive, so you strive
Just to keep up your guard
'Cause it's safer to hold every card.
Oh, it's safer to hold every card.
I feel out of control
I feel safe on the ground.

I have a request for the song "Mad Hatter" from Wonderland the musical
Thanks so much!! I have to use this track for my audition on Thursday since there's no accompanist! Eek!!
Used in a cover! Love your work
2:10 dont mind me just an audition spot lol
Would love a karaoke version of this song :33
Tengo mil problemas,
Lo entiendo, lo sé
Creo superarlos,
Y ¡bum! Otra vez
Siempre reaparecen, quisiera cambiar
Pero cuando intento, encuentro un “no”.
No voy a culpar a papá, o a su familia ideal
Es hora de aceptar, que soy yo en realidad…
Cuando sentirte sola se vuelve normal
Cuando estás tan vacía que no podés más
Cuando ves que no hay nadie a quien llamar
Te encerrás, te acostumbrás
A depender de vos
Es más fácil
Depender de vos
Es más fácil
Depender de vos.
Todas las historias
Te venden amor
Ninguna princesa
llora como yo
Tuve experiencias
No puedo negar
Pero todas llevan
al mismo lugar:
Salgo con un tipo normal
Y me pongo a charlar
Al minuto se va
Y no vuelve a llamar…
Cuando ya te cansás de intentar e intentar
Y la poca esperanza de amar se te va
Cada día confirma que no va a pasar
Que es la cruz que cargás
Si nada va a cambiar
Es más fácil
Si te conformás
Es más fácil
Si te conformás
Voy fuera de control
No me quiero encerrar
Es más fuerte que yo
No lo puedo cambiar
Construyo paredes a mí alrededor
Y espero que alguien las pueda tumbar
Y si miro a la gente que ya lo logró
Que a su alma gemela por fin encontró
Me dan ganas de salir a proclamar
Va a llegar, si lo buscás
El amor va a triunfar
No te dejes estar
Pero es más fácil
Algo más fácil
Si no inten-tas

Se que es un problema
Lo intento afrontar
Creo superarlo
Y todo es igual
Quisiera ser distinta
Lo quiero soltar
Me frena mi pasado
No puedo cambiar
Entonces culpo a papá
Que nos abandonó
Y por qué no a mamá
Que jamás se ocupó
Cuando sola te ves
Desde el día en que naces
Intentas encontrar
Valor en lo que haces
Cuando no existe nadie
De quien depender
En quien creer
En quien confiar
Tal como siempre haces
Es seguro mejor no apostar
Un millón de cuentos
Que venden amor
Tanto que no creo
Poder merecer
Fui dejando todo
Y no me cuide
Y hoy esta batalla
La vuelvo a perder
Entonces vuelvo a salir
Con un loco infernal
Al menos ya entendí
Que no va a funcionar
Cuando a tu corazón
Lo entregaste una vez
Y aquel que te amó
Se dio vuelta y se fue
Cada día se vuelve
más duro entender
Que lo intentas y arriesgas
Y no podes triunfar
Es seguro mejor no apostar
Voy perdiendo el control
Y quiero respirar
Y me quiero escapar
Así me encontrás
Absurda incoherencia
Que me hace frenar
Y mientras intento
Correr y escapar
Mientras miro a la gente
Que pudo ganar
Me pregunto por qué
No hago más que dudar
Y a veces quisiera
Parar y gritar
Arriésgate y proba
Antes de no poder
No te dejes vencer
Porque es seguro
Es más seguro
Mejor no intentar
If you take commissions I'd totally paypal you for an accompaniment to "After All of This and Everything" from Freaky Friday.
Hi! So I was wondering if you could email me the sheet music! I have a solo comp in a few weeks and I LOVE this song and soundcloud just isn't working with me. Thank you!!!!
Hi Taylor! I don't have any sheet music for this version - if you want to find sheet music I suggest musicnotes.com or scribd.com. Thanks!!
If you want me to email you the Mp3 just let me know!
I was wondering when you come in on this track?
Delaney Parfitt there are 8 counts before you start.
1:07
Thanks! Using this for an audition. :)
***** Awesome! Post a video of you singing it please!! I love seeing them :D Let me know if you have any requests for future auditions. I can usually make a track in a few days.
ThatOtherCaitlin what key do you play this in? I'm using this song for an audition and I wanted to know if it's in the original ket
Key sorry
Hi Claire - it's the original key! :-)
Do you have the sheet music for this please?:)
+Rebecca Holland Hi Rebecca - I purchased the sheet music from Musicnotes.com! You can find it there :) Have fun!
One more request- Fly Into the Future from Vanities
+littlemisscaroline Hey there! I think I'm going to make this my next upload. I LOVE that song. :D Keep an eye out for it in your sub box in the next few weeks.
+ThatOtherCaitlin are you still going to accompany this song?? I'm waiting patiently haha
At what time does it start?
Eight counts in around 9 seconds. After the chord. It follows the official sheet music if that helps.
I know that I have issues
I face them, I swear.
Think I overcome them
Then turn - they're still there.
Wish that I was different
I'd like to let go.
But when I try to change
There's my past, saying no.
Maybe it's all 'cause of dad,
His new kids, his new wife
Or why not just blame mom
Who's been nuts my whole life...
When you've felt so alone since
The moment of brith
And you're struggled to find
Your own true sense of worth
When it seems there is no one
Across this whole earth
To depend upon, you carry on
Just like you always do
'Cause it's safer to rely on you.
Oh, it's safer to rely on you.
Seen a million movies
All selling true love.
Fantasies I'm not sure
That I'm worthy of.
Caution to the wind
My heart's been on display.
Still the end result is
It's not gone my way.
So when I date some new guy
Who's a deadbeat or jerk
At least I'm not so crushed
When it all doesn't work...
When you once, unafraid,
Wore your heart on your sleeve
And the ones that you loved
Chose to just turn and leave
Every day it gets harder to
Somehow believe
You will survive, so you strive
Just to keep up your guard
'Cause it's safer to hold every card.
Oh, it's safer to hold every card.
I feel out of control
I feel safe on the ground.

Yet I wish to be found.

And I look at the people
Who've worked it all out
And I wonder why I'm still
A bundle of doubt and sometimes
I wanna just stand up and shout...
"Just commit and deal with it
Before your life flies by...
Don't let your life fly by ..."
But is it safer?
Maybe it's safer
If I don't try
