Leslie Odom Jr. just performed this song in Denver as the encore, and it was incredible. He abruptly stopped the song after the first few words to acknowledge the sign language interpreters who had been working tirelessly the whole show off to the side. He brought one onto the stage, started the song over, and she passionately signed right next to Leslie's perfect voice. It was unforgettable.Thank you for the amazing show, Leslie. Look forward to seeing you in 2020!
I love Anthony's (Anthony Rapp) version and the movie version. I don't like the OBC version bc I don't like the original Mimi. But Leslie's and Anthony's versions are my favourite
I bought a New House and this entire Lincoln Center concert became the soundtrack to this house.... If I were ever asked to explain my house... I'd play this concert.... That would be your answer
Just watched RENT on TV tonight for the umpteenth time, and it got me again. I'm bawling my eyes out. And it always seems to start right when this song comes on. I'd never heard Lesie Odom's version until tonight. Unbelievable. Just downloaded it from iTunes. It'll be in high rotation on my iPhone until the day I die. Quite possibly the saddest and most beautiful song ever written. RIP Jonathan Larson. As much as I love RENT -- both the Broadway (and off Broadway) play(s) and the movie, I can't help but imagine how much better it would have been with a voice like Leslie Odom Jr.'s in the cast. Just wow.
Rent has been my favorite musical forever but listening to this cover just.... Idk how to explain it.... I can feel every lyric... It makes me more emotional than I'd like to admit... Leslie, you are incredible...
Lyrically this might be one of the most realistic love songs I've heard because he's basically saying he knows the girl isn't the whole world but she is too him, which is how we feel sometimes about our special someone
Saw him Saturday in the Third Row In Pittsburgh at Heinz Hall with The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conducted by his Voice Teacher from Carnegie Mellon University. I was in complete tears before the second line. My Husband and I felt so fortunate to be in that room. That tone just melts you. He is flawless.
I’m an idiot. I had no idea who the singer was but remarked that I could listen to that voice on the nationwide commercial all day. This is one of the most magical voices I have ever heard.
I just watched Leslie in Burlington at the Jazz Festival. The moment he started to sing this song, which I hadn’t heard, I began to cry! What a gift he has! Voice from the heavens.
How is it almost a year since it was posted and it doesn’t even have 100K views? Huge Rent fan and this is easily the most beautiful version of this song I’ve ever heard.
I first started to love you when I discovered Hamilton... and now... I AM IN LOVE OMG THIS IS PURE BEAUTY!!! YOU ARE PURE BEAUTY! I just wanted to look up more of your songs, since you're already amazing in Hamilton... but WOW I AM SUPER AMAZED. You are an angel, Leslie. I love this.
Beautiful start...continued listening...gasped a little...continued listening...fully burst into tears!!! This is a magical song!! What a voice and talent.!! Buying his album ASAP!
Without you, the ground thaws the rain falls the grass grows Without you, the seeds root the flowers bloom the children play The stars gleam the poets dream the eagles fly without you The Earth turns the sun burns but I die, without you Without you, the breeze warms the girl smiles the cloud moves Without you, the tides change the boys run the oceans crash The crowds roar the days soar the babies cry without you The moon glows the river flows but I die without you The world revives colors renew but I know blue only blue lonely blue Without you Without you, the hand gropes the ear hears the pulse beats Without you, the eyes gaze the legs walk the lungs breathe The mind churns The mind churn The heart yearns The heart yearns. the tears dry without you Life goes on but I'm gone 'cause I die, without you without you without you without you...
Beautiful song & a beautiful note you let out at the end you deserve everything continue to strive for greatness brother you’ve gained yourself a new fan💯

I'm gonna sing this in glee club. My crush is in glee club with me, so wish me luck. I just turned 20 and I haven't fallen in love with someone so hard since I was like 14.
i'm so glad this is the song from rent i was so excited about it being from rent and then it was & i'm so glad holy hell leslie you do wonders with everything, as always!

Wow. Leslie is a new lvl of greatness and consideration
This is hands down my favorite version of this song. The emotion. His perfect pitch. The soft instrumental. Everything is so perfect.
I love Anthony's (Anthony Rapp) version and the movie version. I don't like the OBC version bc I don't like the original Mimi. But Leslie's and Anthony's versions are my favourite
The live is better
1000000 times agree. I've loved it since I heard him sing this with Boston Pops a few years ago. :)
💯💯💯💯💯
He owns this song.
Leslie Odom Jr.
YOU DESERVE MORE LOVE
I've lost 3 of my 4 children. This is now my song. Thank you.
He is literally such an underrated singer. He needs more recondition for his absolutely beautiful voice.
I bought a New House and this entire Lincoln Center concert became the soundtrack to this house.... If I were ever asked to explain my house... I'd play this concert.... That would be your answer
Me nowadays: Who do you listen to?
*Before they respond*
Me again: I listen to Leslie Odom Jr. He is just amazing. Here is his list of songs

andrew sutherland Did you know this is from the musical Rent?
Love how this arrangement builds. And that voice.
Another one of those days I think "I wish I was a tenor" ... great job
Leslie Odom Jr could teach a masterclass on allowing a song to really tell a story. He lets the lyrics really open up and unfold
Wow👌❤️❤️❤️
Omg. This is a voice you just cry from because it’s so beautiful
Didnt know I needed this in my life... now I do.
I also need him to cover the entire musical.
Jessica Prado Same

I've been going through a Rent kick lately, and this. This is so absolutely stunning. Chills, tears, and just awe.
It's 10:41, I have school tomorrow, yet I'm here quaking at this beauty
I just watched Leslie in Burlington at the Jazz Festival. The moment he started to sing this song, which I hadn’t heard, I began to cry! What a gift he has! Voice from the heavens.

My god this is so damn angelic
I could listen to him all day. You know what, I will.
Oh, from the very first note to the last, wow! You make my world soar, Leslie. Can't wait for your next album, hopefully this fall!
Dude...I can't even think of what to say holy crap my jaw DROPPED

We wasn't ready no body was ready you to amazing with vocals my dude
Without you, the ground thaws
the rain falls
the grass grows
Without you, the seeds root
the flowers bloom
the children play
The stars gleam
the poets dream
the eagles fly
without you
The Earth turns
the sun burns
but I die, without you
Without you, the breeze warms
the girl smiles
the cloud moves
Without you, the tides change
the boys run
the oceans crash
The crowds roar
the days soar
the babies cry
without you
The moon glows
the river flows
but I die without you
The world revives
colors renew
but I know blue
only blue
lonely blue
Without you
Without you, the hand gropes
the ear hears
the pulse beats
Without you, the eyes gaze
the legs walk
the lungs breathe
The mind churns
The mind churn
The heart yearns
The heart yearns.
the tears dry without you
Life goes on
but I'm gone
'cause I die, without you
without you
without you
without you...
I wish the world revives stanza is included in this rendition
CrippledKittens13 it's not necessary for this version imo. The instrumental part makes for it.
.
Magnificent! I was worried the song would lose something as a solo, but instead it feels elevated, more real. My new favorite song!
Listen to Anthony Rapp's solo version. It's great, too
Beautiful song & a beautiful note you let out at the end you deserve everything continue to strive for greatness brother you’ve gained yourself a new fan💯
My little brother loves your voice!! Can't get enough of this song!!
One of my most favourite songs ever, sung by one of my most favourite performers ever!

Epic
Love it Leslie! You’re amazing in Hamilton and everything else you do. Keep up the good work!!!

You're voice is just so beautiful. I'm absolutely sad that I don't think I'll be able to see you when you come to Boston 😢😧
Natalie Martinez he's coming to Boston?
AntoNEO Yea! It's at the Symphony Hall. An Evening with Leslie Odom jr.
I'm gonna sing this in glee club. My crush is in glee club with me, so wish me luck. I just turned 20 and I haven't fallen in love with someone so hard since I was like 14.
