it’s nine eleven today. i remembered this song and had to come back to it. utterly heartbreaking yet warming at the same time. may those poor, brave, heroic, souls rest.
Guys these is her song and her voice dont come telling about Lams, i assure you that the animatic is great but please give her some credit. Is her voice and effort too, c'mon guys Great job Rebecca, i adore your voice
Can I say, the changes from the original song actually make the song stronger to me? Like, the change in the trigger that reminded the character in the song of John is a hell of a lot stronger here since it's effectively created a bookend to their story and sets up the character's decision to marry her boyfriend rather than just having a storm of papers come out of nowhere to remind her of what happened. I'm assuming Ordinary Days actually explains the paper storm better but still, I like the switch up
I like the changes because while the song is obviously about 9/11, it could also be applied to a wide variety of other situations that would be just as heartbreaking
Glitchy Pix Actually, during 9/11, papers were flying out from the broken Twin Towers. I agreed with you guys at first, but then I did some research into 9/11. The Froot Loop connection does rip your heart out, but @Meredith Ludlow, the actual version is more connected to 9/11.
Such an amazing song. You sing this with such emotion, I love it. My friend sang this today and had our whole Musical Theatre class in tears. Since then I've not stopped listening.
We met, of all places, in front of Gristides, some freakishly cold winter's day. I had on several unflattering layers of wool. He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full, So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb and he made some remark that my smile was superb I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said "Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?' 'Because I'll be here at the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at 7. If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here, and in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John." He waved and then he was gone. Needless to say I went back there to meet him mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight. He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight. The next week we went to this terrible play. And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day. And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?' 'Because I'll be here right beside you as long as you want me to be. There's no question. There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life. This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one." And we had just begun. We got hitched in September, our favorite month, with a rock band that played in this old synagogue. And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog. Our first anniversary came in a flash and we promised to take the day off. He had to stop into his office that morning, and so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know. When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke. So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread to the voicemail he left with the last words he said. I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff. You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight. Well today something happened that spooked me alright. I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky, and I thought of that day and I started to cry. When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying "Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.' 'Because I'll be here even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater. Even if you go out on my birthday this year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by. You don't have to cry.' 'Because I'll be here when you start going back to the places we went to together. When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile. When you meet some handsome and patient and true. When he says that he wants to be married to you. When you call him one night and he meets you downtown. When you finally answer him yes." Yes. Jason, I will marry you. I will give you my heart. It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start. Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here.
it's because the original song is a bit different and I'm assuming they copied and pasted the wikipedia lyrics or something. I think the cover is better, though.
Changing the lyrics from the stormcloud of papers to the fruit loops is Maybe the best choice this cover had? Your singing is beautiful and now I can't listen to any other cover of the songs without thinking your version is better. Too bad this isn't on Spotify.
This is a really great cover! I don't know why it doesn't have more views/likes. You have a wonderful voice and it's perfect for the part. Keep it up. :)

Its abt 9/11. The storm clouds and the papers represent the smoke and the business papers flying out of the windows of The twin towers. The song is abt a woman and her husband and they got married one year exactly before the terrorist attack of 9/11. He had to step into his office that day (9/11) and she decided to go for a walk. She saw the fire and smoke and ran home to a voicemail I belive was him saying he would be home soon from the context of the story. So now she is mourning the loss of her husband for more that a year now and is hearing her husbands "voice" telling her that it's time to move on. And he will always be there for her no matter what. Once she gets married again she hears her previous husband John's "voice" saying I will be here. That's just a theory from the top of my head. And now that I think abt it,this song is horribly sad.
Melanie Sue Daniel 9/11, a national tragedy for America, a terrorist attack that took down the former tallest buildings in Manhattan in 2001 (so if you’re here from freesmooches, John would have died to that)
I just forgot what the song title for this was since I haven't listened to this in like 4 years and I wanted to listen to this again so I literally searched up "that 9/11 song" and i found it what the fuck
Eevee Breezy I think it’s the best choice ever 😂😂 It shows that John kept the fruit loops that she had picked off the curb for him so long ago, that they meant something him. He wanted to cherish how they had met with a box of fruit loops.
I JUST REALISED THEY SAID SEPTEMBER WAS THEIR FAVOURITE MONTH STOP RIPPING MY HEART OUT
NO FIXDJXJXJX FUUUUUUUURICK

I never cry at literally anything or any song,
This is the one song that has made me cry
it’s nine eleven today. i remembered this song and had to come back to it. utterly heartbreaking yet warming at the same time. may those poor, brave, heroic, souls rest.
Wow that “ With the last words he said” hurts oh my it’s so good
It’s all very sad, but I would like to know what this fictional yet also real character said in this voicemail to his wife before he died
Guys these is her song and her voice dont come telling about Lams, i assure you that the animatic is great but please give her some credit.
Is her voice and effort too, c'mon guys
Great job Rebecca, i adore your voice
Yo, I'm John Laurens, in the place to be,
If you have a Hamilton, then, *TELL HIM TO KISS ME*
Faagalo Collins aaayy
Best frickin person in the whole god damn musical.
C:
😊
we already did it noob
Can I say, the changes from the original song actually make the song stronger to me? Like, the change in the trigger that reminded the character in the song of John is a hell of a lot stronger here since it's effectively created a bookend to their story and sets up the character's decision to marry her boyfriend rather than just having a storm of papers come out of nowhere to remind her of what happened. I'm assuming Ordinary Days actually explains the paper storm better but still, I like the switch up
I like the changes because while the song is obviously about 9/11, it could also be applied to a wide variety of other situations that would be just as heartbreaking
Glitchy Pix Actually, during 9/11, papers were flying out from the broken Twin Towers. I agreed with you guys at first, but then I did some research into 9/11. The Froot Loop connection does rip your heart out, but @Meredith Ludlow, the actual version is more connected to 9/11.
Search for the (BBC I think) television broadcast of 9/11, you can see a lot of "particles" falling after the first impact, they are tons of paper.
Holy crap cant handle the feels. Just cried like a freakin baby
Such an amazing song. You sing this with such emotion, I love it. My friend sang this today and had our whole Musical Theatre class in tears. Since then I've not stopped listening.
Catch me crying in the club like-
We met, of all places, in front of Gristides, some freakishly cold winter's day.
I had on several unflattering layers of wool.
He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full,
So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb
and he made some remark that my smile was superb
I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said
"Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?'
'Because I'll be here
at the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at 7.
If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here,
and in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John."
He waved and then he was gone.
Needless to say I went back there to meet him
mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was
out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight.
He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight.
The next week we went to this terrible play.
And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day.
And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said
"Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?'
'Because I'll be here
right beside you as long as you want me to be.
There's no question.
There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life.
This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one."
And we had just begun.
We got hitched in September, our favorite month,
with a rock band that played in this old synagogue.
And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog.
Our first anniversary came in a flash
and we promised to take the day off.
He had to stop into his office that morning,
and so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know.
When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke
till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke.
So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread
to the voicemail he left with the last words he said.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff.
You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight.
Well today something happened that spooked me alright.
I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky,
and I thought of that day and I started to cry.
When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying
"Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'
'Because I'll be here
even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater.
Even if you go out on my birthday this year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by.
You don't have to cry.'
'Because I'll be here
when you start going back to the places we went to together.
When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile.
When you meet some handsome and patient and true.
When he says that he wants to be married to you.
When you call him one night and he meets you downtown.
When you finally answer him yes."
Yes.
Jason, I will marry you.
I will give you my heart.
It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start.
Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you
That I will be here.
Leah Jamieson I think there are some lyrics that are not in the song? (sorry idk how to explain, bad english)
it's because the original song is a bit different and I'm assuming they copied and pasted the wikipedia lyrics or something. I think the cover is better, though.
Leah Jamieson some of the words are wrong and it confused me
Literal Trash Whoa we have the same name
You really tell the story through your voice. Quickly becoming a fan :)
Listening to this on September 11th really allows me to imagine it
I was driving to Uni while listening to this and started crying in the car.
Beautiful Rebecca! I don't know if you remember but we did YMT together about ten years ago, glad to see you're still living the dream:) Much love xxx
Wait does any one else know this is about the twin towers
Everyone knows.
well just making sure no need to be a bitch about it
....I didn't
Me neither.... Makes sense though
Idk. Thats why I was a bit confused. Thanks for telling this
This honestly made me cry... you are amazing!!!
Changing the lyrics from the stormcloud of papers to the fruit loops is
Maybe the best choice this cover had?
Your singing is beautiful and now I can't listen to any other cover of the songs without thinking your version is better. Too bad this isn't on Spotify.
I watched an amazing singer sing this song and I literally cried I did not even know it was about 9/11
This is a really great cover! I don't know why it doesn't have more views/likes. You have a wonderful voice and it's perfect for the part. Keep it up. :)
Yea I agree but it's probably because even after searching like five times I couldn't find this song
This is my very favorite out of all the versions. I just love it so much.
I couldn't help but remember this song today, it's so heartbreaking and emotional, but the catharsis at end is so sweet.
I absolutely love this! Your voice is the most beautiful thing!
This is one of the only songs that can genuinely make me cry
Im still crying
I'm crying in the club rn
This song always makes me cry... so beautiful... 😭😭❤️
it's two in the morning and I'm revisiting my "liked videos" playlist and crying
I love this song so much. I saw it performed and cried through two other performances after
I like this version the best
Such a beautiful voice! The song is so tearjerking and you made it so amazing. Keep it up!!!
Can I be honest?
This song is literally more sad than "blow us all away", "stay alive reprise" and "Quiet uptown" COMBINED
Love this although I bawled like a baby. Your voice is beautiful you should post more often
Wait wait wait “YOU slipped on the ice with HIS grocery bags full”???
I like dis one better than the original :3
me seeing these comments
and i thought i was the only one that came from the LAMS animatic-
I´m crying so much. This song is wonderful
no this is not ok im going to cry this is not ok no no no no
Anyone else cry every time they hear this song? 😢
Your voice is so beautiful! Keep going
Okay wow I've only cried one other time from a song before but the part with the sweater made me burst dear god
please tell me i'm not the only one coming from the lams animatic... *sobs in the corner *
Yesss's I came from the animation heartbreaking :(
i used to cry so much over that animatic back in 2019
Your voice is sooooo beautiful!!!!
This is so amazing! I’m crying right now because of this beautiful song!

My eyes are just sweating I promise. i PrOmIsE.
this is wonderful!!
Your voice is amazing!
This is underrated. Man I almost cried because of this, which is rare. I’m here from the lams animatic, which also made me cry.
Beautiful voice and beautifully told x
I'm at the 911 memorial right now. Heartbreaking.
*DON'T TOUCH MY FRUIT LOOPS YOU THEIF*
it's from the lams animatic sorry...
I'm not crying you are.
i am crying so much, its so beautiful!
I love your voice!!!
Wait, why did everyone come from that Lams animatic?
*I mean... I came from there too...*
wait why is this so recent
Q sad cada vez q la escucho lloro pero me encanta la canción
you did amazing
Idk why but the reference to the foot loops always hits harder than the og lyrics
So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread
to the voicemail he left with the last words he said.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff.
You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight.
Well today something happened that spooked me alright.
I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky,
and I thought of that day and I started to cry.
When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying
"Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'
this part just doesn't make sense to me? Like logically.I understand that he's dead but I don't understand what's actually going on. Can somebody explain if you get it?
Its abt 9/11. The storm clouds and the papers represent the smoke and the business papers flying out of the windows of The twin towers. The song is abt a woman and her husband and they got married one year exactly before the terrorist attack of 9/11. He had to step into his office that day (9/11) and she decided to go for a walk. She saw the fire and smoke and ran home to a voicemail I belive was him saying he would be home soon from the context of the story.

Once she gets married again she hears her previous husband John's "voice" saying I will be here.
That's just a theory from the top of my head. And now that I think abt it,this song is horribly sad.
I'm here from that land animatic hehe
Your voice is so angelic, i love this 😭😭❤
im here in the 18th annivesary of 9 11 and im crying ok
Why does this remind me of lams so much
It’s so
SADDDDDDDDD
This cover is so much better than the original
BRILLIANT!!!
I cry
aaaand it’s 9/11 todayyyy
the songs fucking heartbreaking
woah, i never knew that much people came here from the lams animatic.
Jason after listening to this like: 👁👄👁 WTF!??? But also great song!
My name’s John LAURENS IN DA PLACE TO BE
I am A fox two pints of Sam Adams but I’m working on three ;)
Your voice is beautiful.
2022: ✅
2023: ✅
2024:
Beautiful job!
wow, hey, why'd it have to be tears?
Wait
W-what happened to my sweet John? *sobs*
MP3?
THIS IS SO SAD
croissant
Why is this song about the twin towers? What is that?
Melanie Sue Daniel 9/11, a national tragedy for America, a terrorist attack that took down the former tallest buildings in Manhattan in 2001 (so if you’re here from freesmooches, John would have died to that)
Inferno Nyan yep I got here from freesmooches
Also, the original line was supposed to be "I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky", which referenced 9/11 as well.
Idk but she sounds like repunzel soooo
wait wait wait wait....Is this a true story...?
please tell me yes...
DumShiDed nope, it’s from a musical Allen Ordinary Days
I just forgot what the song title for this was since I haven't listened to this in like 4 years and I wanted to listen to this again so I literally searched up "that 9/11 song" and i found it what the fuck
My eyes are peeing
Who else is here from the Undertale Frans? ;-; It's sad
THIS SONG DESTROYED ME HELP
Why did you change the storm clouds of paper to frootloops. That ruins so much of the meaning behind the song.
Eevee Breezy I think it’s the best choice ever 😂😂 It shows that John kept the fruit loops that she had picked off the curb for him so long ago, that they meant something him. He wanted to cherish how they had met with a box of fruit loops.
I feel like you’re better than the original
Well I didn't needed my heart anyway
This video is gonna be viewed a lot again because of the remake of the animatic...
*loud crying*
Wait so he died from a car crash
Howed you know ?????????
no. twin towers my love
sorry I just didn't understand what happened
it's okay dw
It's about someone losing their loved one in the incident of 9/11 and moving on afterwards.
uwu
shit i thought this was the origonal
I’m here from Lame animatics
