A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in.
Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, DEAR EVAN HANSEN is a new American musical about life and the way we live it.

Don’t tap on the window.
It ANGERS the g l a s s .
this is so cursed but I love it
- fish in tank
I tried tapping on the glass, the next day, the glass tapped on me.
Angry g l a s s
Why is this funny-
this song: exists
animators with social anxiety: it’s free real estate
WHY HELLO YOU CALLED
Why'd you call them out like this man
*cough*
What? Who said I had social anxiety? PFFFDBT
Therapist: you have an appointment set for friday-
I feel so called out right now
So, all of them?
Just in case anyone was wondering, this is the best song to have a mental breakdown to while folding laundry
Or doing school work
Or imagining sad fnaf scenarios
all of the above
I’m listening while working out in the gym :v
Definitely
This is why Broadway must never die. Songs like these just fill you with so much emotion and I hope everyone gets to feel all those feelings
Yep. We do
lol i know what you mean "i hope everyone gets to feel all those feelings". I thought that during the entire show
YESS musicals have so much relatable emotions this song helps me with my social anxiety
I’ve been a musical theatre geek since I saw Wicked!
I missed the musical on Broadway & San Francisco but loved the movie. There’s nothing like seeing a great musical in person on the stage. I listen to this soundtrack so often! ❤❤❤
Fun fact: this begins Evan hinting about the fact he attempted suicide. He interweaves it into the narrative. "When you've fallen in a forest"
I guess you haven’t actually read the book or seen the musical, then.
@@emmaparker omg there's a BOOK!
Kaitlyn Burton um yes?
@@emmaparker that made my day I absolutely love this musical and enjoy books 😁
Kaitlyn Burton cool!
“What does anxiety feel like?”
Me: *_aggressively points_*
Cøffee it feels like you're always being watched In normal anxiety. With social anxiety it feels they will think you're weird, or they will hate you if you talk to them. There are many forms.
@Cøffee
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD I’ll just sing it! 😂👍
@@stitch_playz9710 yeah, mine is that I'm worried that I'll offend someone and then everyone will hate me
I was your 1,000th like!!! :D
Raven Gleam so true.
“Step out, step out of the sun”
“If you keep getting burned”
This line is my single favorite line in songwriting.
A beautiful analogy that exactly represents anxiety. The sun, being the spotlight, is referring to being seen, to putting yourself out there. But what happens when no one responds to what you say, or when you find yourself in an awkward conversation, suddenly empty on words, struggling. There’s a point in time, after failing so much, you just never risk standing in the sun again. For why step into the sun if you keep getting burned?
Mine is "are we a country of states? what's the state of our country?" Hamilton
@@boby9140 that one’s good too, although isn’t the actual line “Are we a nation of states? What’s the state of our nation?”
god that is so beautiful and true!
I read the whole thing about what this song means so I could get a better look on the emotions and I love it I'm gonna audition to sing it at a concert for school
Screen shorting this in case if I ever have do dear Evan Hansen in Literature
"Cause I'm tap tap tapping on the glass"
EVAN STOP THAT SCARES THE FISH
lol very good
underrated comment
Evan: is anybody waving back at me?
Me: *frantically waves in theater*
Me: *Waving* I’M WAVING EVAN!!
Me: I AM *waves*
#ProtectEvan
not even gonna lie it took serious restraint to not wave
Let’s all go to a theatre that’s putting on Dear Evan Hansen and when Evan sings Waving Through a Window we all wave viciously and shout “WE’RE WAVING!”
If you listen very closely, you can hear me singing along, and sobbing.
I hear it. I love it.
I’m officially your friend.
I can hear you
Chloe Watson LMAO I OFFICIALLY LOVE YOU ❤️
TRPlayz damn okay, chill out. No one wanted to hear that from you
"and no one tells you where you went wrong" hits really hard
Yeah. I have ASD so the line is pretty literal for me. When I screw up, no on tells me where I went wrong because they assume I already know or that I did it on purpose.
Honestly, my friends would always get mad because I had severe anger issues/mood changes. They never told me directly what I was doing wrong, but just that they didn't like it when I got frustrated. P.S, I couldn't control it back then.
Fr man
@@samhenley7156 That's only part of the reason. The other reason is because in our society, it's considered "impolite" to tell people when they've misstepped. Even if telling them might be helpful for them.
@@jeremiahnoar7504 also you never know who can and can't handle criticism, there are so many people who get pressed beyond belief if you give them the slightest amount of critical feedback. especially if they grew up among parents or adults who went way too hard on the whole 'positive reinforcement' thing and never acclimated them to accepting criticism
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
Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've
learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people
pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back
at me?
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went
wrong
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've
learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people
pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?
When you're falling in a forest and there's
nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a
sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's

Thank you.
Now I can finnaly sing ~
Thanks I could hear it for myself.
The savior has appeared
Please don’t tap on the glass, it disturbs the fish.

It scares the ice cream.
It scares the rocks, they're very shy and hardly interact with humans.
Rae_Rae 10 underrated comment tho-
Omg my sides hurt 😂😂
THIS MAN HAD GOT SOME INCREDIBLE PIPES
I feel like just about everyone's first reaction to hearing this song (or most of the other DEH songs also) is: his voice is so prettyyy * *___* *
Because yeah, it's freaking gorgeous
YAY MORE KYUNGSOO STANS THAT LIKE DEH
Jenny DOKyungsoo yes a kyungsoo stan
I am a Kyungsoo Stan and obsessed with this song
Jenny DOKyungsoo ikrr
as someone with social anxiety, this song… really hits close to home.
It hits harder than something about my father's belt idk I'm from israel
That was a joke btw
fr
I hope ur okay xxxx
Dude same here, I have anxiety and this hits hard
I haven't had it as hard as Evan, but the first time I listened to this musical, I sobbed. I've never had suicidal tendencies, but I have suffered from anxiety my entire life. I've experienced the crippling loneliness that feels like no one would notice if you vanished into thin air. When I heard this, I couldn't believe it. I felt so seen. And it helped me realize I matter just as much as everyone else. Thank you, Dear Evan Hansen.
My heart while reading this, I’ve also struggled with depression, anxiety, adhd , sleep, my whole life and I felt seen to💗
❤️❤️ it really is hard to realize you matter too sometimes, and this song definitely helps, it explains my feelings exactly. Thank you for typing this, it makes me feel so seen because this is exactly how I feel too.

*Goes on to sing an entire song*
GalaxyLatte *huh*
Have you noticed that the most annoying people in history always start these long speeches by saying, “I’ve got nothing to say.”
omfg yes
Every single time I sing this song, I sing this part. I mean, obviously. It’s part of the song. Anyway, I sing it, and my dad overhears the part, and he’s like, “Didn’t you literally just say that you have nothing to say?” And I’m like, “I SANG it. Anyway, didn’t you say you had to do something that isn’t annoying?” Savage.
The Music Girl, you’re so right! You didn’t say it, you sang it.
Reminder in the live preformance of this song in the musical, Connor waves to him, but Evan doesnt see him. i saw it when i went to see DEH last year. Connor is waving through his own window.
I loved Connor before. But now even more.
This hits different when you're sitting alone after musical theater class while everyone else is talking with their friends
I wish DEH existed before i finished high school a decade ago
This hits differently when you’re 55, come home from seeing this show and have been alone all your life. ❤
Real
As we're social distancing, a lot of people are waving through windows.
I FINALLY have time to sit on my computer and listen to this on repeat FOR DAYS!!
Yeah,but....at whom?there's nobody there in the streets...😥
bro thats deep...
@Percy Jackson21 Woah, a Percy Jackson and Dear Evan Hansen fan? I’ve finally found my people :’)
And finally, we can confirm, That when your falling in the forest, There IS actually nobody around.
This song describes how it feels to have social anxiety so perfectly.
Katie Miller yes
It’s truz
And depression, kinda-
I don’t have social anxiety, but I do have generalized anxiety disorder and this is how it feels whenever I have to be around anyone I’m not familiar with. It sucks ass.
Maybe add autism to that.
With the slight difference that in my case The Mistake isn't just something I imagine, it's something people have deigned to scream at me for my entire fucking live and then somehow they are surprised almost 70% of autistic people have social anxiety as well?
Like, I could probably analyze my entire life into this song, but maybe that should be reserved for English class.
While I was in a mental hospital, I made a friend with a boy who loved DEH. He helped me write a song there. I just watched the movie and was reminded of him.
I feel so connected to Evan and realize how far I’ve come. I’m so thankful for these art forms that make people feel heard and seen.
Reading this comments are making me sob, I hope you have an amazing day 💖
The amount of JD stans spread throughout the musical fandoms are terrifying
"Is anybody waving back at me?"
*aggressively waves back*

fav comment ever lol
*Waving intestifies*
People who are naturally like quiet and introverted often have the most interesting things to say. Remember that next time you don't feel like speaking up.
I'm pretty introverted, but if you get me into a conversation about really deep stuff like the similarities between the light and darkness of the sky and human experience then oh boy you're in for a ride,-
Annalise Wedewer YO! I’m an extrovert... but I’m an extrovert who thinks really hard when alone and loves time to reflect on life. So an ambivert, I guess? Lately though, it seems I can only have solid friendships with introverts, because all the extroverts that I think are awesome and try to talk to tend to get overwhelmed by me. Really fast, too. Because I’m random and very deep (I’ve been told)?
ANYWAY! People like you are literally awesome and refresh me so much. Yeah, I do appreciate being the life of the party sometimes... but when the other people there don’t really want to contemplate the meaning behind things or spend hours chatting about complex life questions, the introverts are always ready to step in. Like, always. And it makes me so happy that you and people like you exist on this earth, because y’all have the best ideas and the best things to say. Love you all. 💞
@@sophiaredwood5825 usually introverts form families where an extrovert adopts them all. This is usually how friend groups in elementary schools form. A really weird extrovert or two adopt(s) a bunch of introverts and it just kinda happens. Sometimes extroverts bring random extroverts into the group though, and if the wrong kind of extrovert worms their way in and refuses to leave, this special bond can be broken. So yeah. Forgive my ramble, internet stranger...
Also, you're more likely to find introverts online than anywhere else because lots of us get really anxious in social situations with unfamiliar people.
Ah, I'm rambling again. But yes, if you would comment something you want to discuss in an intellectual conversation, I can do so while effectively quoting memes
Annalise Wedewer Woah, mind blown, I literally just realized that that is exactly how my friend group formed. And it makes perfect sense! Aaa!!
Also, don’t apologize for rambling. I’m a writer by nature, I read and write without stopping so I’ve surely burdened many who try to read my long comments 😂 but I will usually never be bothered by a long comment to read. ESPECIALLY if it’s sincere and interesting. So you’re perfectly fine 😊
As for speaking intellectually? Hmm, lately I resort to thought-provoking questions or hypothetical situations (some stupidly fun, others actually super interesting)... Like... “If all of a sudden you met your future child and they were your age because of some time-related thing, and they knew you were their (younger) parent, how do you think the conversation would go? Any interests you think you both would have? How would your friends react if the same thing happened to them?”
Also stuff like, “What is a donut without a hole?” or “Why is hot chocolate called what it is despite its actual temperature?” and stuff to that effect, haha.
I also tend to think a lot about people and interactions and identity and stuff but that could be a bit long 😂
@@sophiaredwood5825 A donut without a hole is still a donut. They come in all different shapes and sizes, but holes made them easiest to cook so it's the most common and well known type.
Hot chocolate is called so despite its temperature because... I don't really know, haha. It was hot originally, so it is always hot chocolate. But then, why don't other things not change names in relativity to temperature? Hot cookie, cookie, cold cookie, frozen cookie. How does that stuff work?
The English language is just one big "Well yes, but actually no."
His voice is so beautiful, I’m gonna die. He’s a real siren. Ben Platt did such an amazing job, and I’m sad I will never get to see him on stage.
good news! he's going to be evan in the movie version of DEH! :D
this musical saved my life.
“when you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound?”
my poor baby :(
Wtf
Bad B***h, Ikr!
Also, love the profile pic
Ya poor thing 😢
....Connor....(come back please)
Woah...
Right when I started reading this the song played these lyrics XD
I have social anxiety and I haven't cried like this since Perks of Being a Wallflower.
This is like a reverse Let It Go.
Me too!
Your Obedient Sandwich, A. Ham Who's seen the play I'm really depressed and I have anxiety I do cut and this made me cry so much
dONT BRING UP LET IT GO MAN
Your Obedient Sandwich, A. Ham I know social anxiously is hard I have been bulled adout how I react around a group of People and because I have acne every where on my face when I was found out I had social anxiety everything kind of clicked
There’s this line in the epilogue of the book, that goes
“the me I am is not the me I was. Just like the me I am is not the me I will be. Those versions of myself I can’t change or predict. I’m not even sure I have much influence over the present me. But it’s all I’ve got. I probably shouldn’t fight it.”
That line physically hurt me when I read it. I’m not exactly sure why it hit me so hard, but I ended up writing it on a note that I taped to the wall next to my bed so I could read it when I needed to before I go to sleep. I put it in my Instagram bio. The words are just so powerful, just like everything about this musical. This musical has given me a reason to keep going. A reason to live. A reason to believe that “you will be found.” That I may actually be more than I’ve always been. I’m so grateful that I found this musical. It has honestly changed my life, and I more than likely would not be alive without it.
Thanks, now I'm gonna ask my sister to borrow her copy of the novel 🥰
Having anxiety is like being trapped in your mind, I really related to the part when even said "tapping on the glass" and "when your falling in a forest and no one is around did you ever really crash or even make a sound?" I hate being trapped and this song really makes me feel heard and helps me feel a bit better.
I think it’s also a reference to his attempt
me: oh look heres a new musical ive never listened to.

When you're jamming out and crying to this at the same time...
Lol yeah. Ben knows how to sing. Way too good for us. We were not ready.
that is beyond accurate.
love the song but it is so sad and too true😭😭😭
Imagine if instead of clapping, everyone in the audience waved back at Evan. I can’t 😭😢

Isn't also referring to the quote "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
@@Elizabeth-mk1pq it's both
If you listen to that part of the song closely, you’ll notice that he’s actually going through the 5 stages of grief the final one being acceptance of his urge to take his own life.
"When you're falling in a forest... and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound..?" These lines hurt :
Evan: “No i’ve got nothing to say”
Also Evan: *proceeds to sing*
_Technically_ it’s not saying anything
@@adridaplague-boi *Technically*
This song is Evan's inner monologue. It's the thoughts running through his head, not what he actually expresses on the outside. And as a person suffering from social anxiety, I can tell you this is pretty accurate in putting to words the thoughts and feeling that run through my head constantly
@@tomdienstbier49 It was a joke-
Well, he’s not REALLY saying anything…
"we start with stars in our eyes

To anyone who needs this, I'm waving back
👏THIS 👏SONG👏 FUCKED 👏ME 👏UP
Can you please not use bad profanity? Some of us have young people watching this. It's hard to avoid because it's the top comment.
RUclips is not a place for young people. Its explicitly for 13+.
RUclips Kids restricts comments with curse words and filters what can and can't be seen by kids.
Mickey Mouse the musical itself has many curse words in it.
Yes I know, so does Hamilton. The use of curse words is unknown to me, what's wrong with saying 'shoot' and 'frickin' ?
Mickey Mouse there's nothing wrong with saying those, but there's nothing wrong with saying fuck or shit as well. if you're uncomfortable with the language, I suggest downloading RUclips Kids from to Google Play or AppStore. It's free and it censors comments such as this. No one should have to change how they speak to appease someone else.
I just love how Evan is repeating everything. It shows how panicked he is to leave an imprint in this world. He wants to be noticed by someone, just wants someone to see him instead of looking through him.
Some of those repeats are the chorus.
I just thought of Michael in the bathroom from be more chill at the part where he repeats knock, clang, bang, and splash a gazillion times and I am SHOOK
YES, this comment. Everything circles and IS a reference to when he “fell” from the giant oak tree. Something about his fall is mentioned in many of the songs.
@@alysaemmons329 damn didn't think of that. Wow.
I feel that all to well I'm sorry single no body and will die this way probably so I've come to accept it I'm glad it got a happy ending or so I'm tolled lol
I’m still not over this musical
this song always reminds me of being a person who has undiagnosed autism (me). especially lyrics like “i try to speak but nobody can hear so i wait around for an answer to appear” it reminds me of how i didn’t know how to explain what i was feeling and how i longly wanted people to notice that there was something wrong. there are so many other lyrics that explain what its like to experience life the way you were taught to and not the way you do.
I have autism too
Yes! I know this is a song abt anxiety, however it resonated with me since I have undiagnosed autism too, as well as ADHD
That’s amazing how you thought of this, because I did too! I’m Autistic myself 😮
Woah, same! It was my comfort song in middle school lonnng before I realized I was autistic. I suppose it makes sense lol
I saw the video for this and assumed it was about a guy with autism because that’s exactly what this song makes me think of, I have friends with children who have autism and I imagined this song being a great way to describe how it feels
"When you're falling in a forest
And nobody's around
Do you ever even crash
Or even make a sound"
I JUST REALIZED HE TALKJNG ABOUT HIMSELF AND SCREAMED IM SO DUMB
Yep, that part (and the fact that they recall it at multiple points throughout the show) becomes extra heartbreaking when you listen back to it after having seen the full show
riles k it also kinda said "did I even make a sound" buuuuuuut
I realised that yesterday! I was like "oH SH1T"

Same 😣

Evan: Will I ever make a sound?!
Me: Well you're singing like an angel, so I'd consider that making a sound.
people only consider something to have made a sound if they heard it. what he’s basically saying is will people ever notice him or not. sorry i had to put it out there, i love making analyses but still i completely agree with your comment lol. ben platt will forever be king 👑
@@biscuits2463 Lol yes he will. And I totally agree.
He's like Tobey maguire. He is Peter Parker. So Ben is Evan in the same way.
I never picked up on the thought that Evan's broken arm was due to a failed suicide attempt. This really puts things in perspective.
He's socially awkward, he attempts to fall and crash, but it fails.
He follows the suggestion to write himself mail and it then gets taken as a suicide note when one actually commits suicide.
His therapy for the parents turns his own life around.

Hearing this for the first time and this gave me flashbacks to middle and high school when I was too afraid to connect, too busy wallowing in my own self-pity, afraid my differences only inconvenienced those around me or made them uncomfortable. Now I’ve grown and I’ll always be grateful for that.
Me too
Happy for u!
This is an existential crisis put into song
Chicken Permission TBH
"Is anyone waving back at me?"
*WAVES BACK AGRESSIVELY*
danica me do---
👋
"do you ever really crash or even make a sound" that hits so fucking hard
To whoever needs to hear this I promise you are loved and it doesn’t always feel like it and that’s okay
thanks I really appreciate it I'm glad that I have someone to care 😊
@@colemaxwell34 no problem
Evan- Step out, step out of the sun
Jared- Why?
Evan- *tHe SuN iS a DeAdLy LaZeR*

~Not anymore, there's a blanket!~
Veronica Sawyer Not anymore, there's a blanket
Veronica Sawyer not anymore there’s a blanket, no? Ok
Jared- oH sHit!
YES
I have clinical depression and the line "when you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound?" Actually changed my life. Make a sound. Make yourself known. I'm so much happier because I've listened to this song so many times and just... Appreciated it. Little things in life make me happy. I love this. It's my theme song for my life.
I damn cried when I listened to this song, and I was depressed alot, so yeah, I could relate.
Thanks man, you too.
@Diya Arun Kumar, how bout you consider it both ways?
@Diya Arun Kumar same here, mate. Have a good day to you.
I am learning to stop wallowing and make friends. It is amazing how it shortens depression and crazy.
Dear Evan Hansen,
Thank you. You have helped me more that you could know. And I know you're just a character from a musical show/book but you really are something. You feel real. Your story feels real. Your troubles feel real. Because I can relate. Watching this movie and listening to this soundtrack has made me realise I am not alone. There are kids like me that struggle everyday and there's kids like Connor who are unseen. We go unnoticed but that doesn't mean we aren't there. We aren't alone. Non of us. No one should have to suffer in silence because we exist, and we will get the help we need. We will see the light again. We will be found.
Thank you Evan Hansen For everything.
That's really wholesome. Too damn much
@@boby9140 it made me realise I don’t have to fight alone
I'm already crying and I can already tell that I'm gonna love this musical because I have social anxiety and I've never heard a song that expresses exactly how I've felt my entire life.
Same here, it just articulates my feelings so eloquently and accurately it makes me so incredibly emotional
Sarah Lopez Darren 😍😍😍
Listen to Lifeboat from Heathers
MiMi Star Hell yeah! Lifeboat is a really good song to relate to for Anxiety
Yes, but- Lifeboat isn't about social anxiety as much as peer pressure. McNamara has no problem interacting with people daily, she's just afraid of losing her status.
When you have seen the show and the verse, "When you're falling in a forest, and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash, or even make a sound." Has so much more meaning, and it kills you. **Spoiler** Evan tries to kill himself prior to the start of the show by climbing a tree and letting himself fall to the ground, hence the cast.
reader2012 TRUE 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
** ADDITIONAL WARNING FOR MORE MAJOR SPOILER TALK **
One of the things I love most about the book of this show is that there are all these little subtle details that make the emotional moments hit even harder... like the fact that it's not that Evan consciously or actively jumped from the tree. And the fact that he spends right up until the end of the show in denial to even *himself* that it wasn't just an accident. The implication is that he really did start off climbing up the tree just for something to do (or at least convincing himself that was the case), and at some point along the way it got a little trickier to climb, and instead of keeping going or climbing back down he just kind of... let go... gave up.
And, for me at least, that kind of resigned passiveness in it hits hard. Although I've thankfully never been suicidal myself, I've definitely had my fair share of mental health issues that I've spent a LONG time being in a whole lot of denial about, and I can't help but think that if I ever had reached that point.. that's probably more along the lines of how it might have come out for me too. Something where it could be easy to be in denial about it even having *been* what it actually was, and something that could be easily passed off as "nah, it was an accident".
Aaanyway, sorry that just got awkwardly personal! But the point is, yeah... the particular way it's all revealed is SO well done and honest and gutting. And you don't even realize until after it's revealed how much the show has been building up to that moment, either!
Stephanie L THERES A BOOK?????
Keana Astalos By book she means script. For musicals they say "book" and "score" instead of just "script" because there is usually more than one writer and it gives credit where credit is due. :)
Stephanie L Very thoughtful and well articulated response and point of view!
HERE AFTER THE MOVIE TEASER OMG
If you watch this then you are a legend.
*gets obsessed with Heathers*
I probably only will like this one.
*gets obsessed with Hamilton*
These two are the only musicals I will like.
*starts to listen to Dear Evan Hansen*
Well shit
My order
Morgan McDowell and bmc
SAME but I got hooked on Hamilton for a full year now I'm on Evan Hansen
Same 😂
Morgan McDowell listen to wicked :)
is it bad that I find amusement in "Broadway cast recording" (get it because hE's IN A CAST)
HAHA
HAHAHAHAHHAAH
this made my day
PHAHAHA
You are my new favorite person 😂
the line "I try to speak but nobody can hear, so I wait around for an answer to appear" hits deep in ways you can't find the words to say
Today, I found out that a friend that ive known for nearly 7 years now, Has been struggling alot, he was Hospitalized for an Attempt at Suicide, and I found out he was Struggling with an Eating Disorder that nearly killed him. Also Today, is the day, July 21st, That i recieved a Message from him, He told me everything he was Struggling with and told me he was Ok, What i didnt know is that he had been Getting help for nearly the past 4 Months. the Entier limited time i talked to him it was just like before he left, he was Cracking jokes through serious talks and "I love you Dude" 's. And lastly, Today, Before he dmed me, i was Singing my emotions out with this song, and right when it finished, is when i got the dm. Listening to it After our Conversation, this song Reminds me so much of how much he Struggled, and more importantly how Increadibly strong he is, and how Insanely proud i am of him for Persevering. Thank you so fucking much for this song.
awww
Is is bad that when ever I hear the clinking sound I just imagine Jared banging his head on a cow bell in the background?
Probably.
This made my day
Jared: IM ONLY DOING THIS SO MY PARENTS PAY FOR MY CAR INSANCE
No. U are probably right...
I have a fever. The only prescription is -Ben Platt's vibrato- more cowbell.
That's amazing, I needed that, thank you
"We start with stars in are eyes. We start believing we belong. But every sun doesn't rise." That hit me hard.
Natalie Parker
Same also
"On the outside always looking in will i ever be more than I've been"
My first time exposed to the world of musical theater was this song when my friend sang it at the school talent show. During 2020 musicals really helped me make it through the hard times. What I’m trying to say is this song is the reason I memorized every musical on the face of earth and why my my sister thinks I’m weird.
You should go see Wicked
Can we take a second to appreciate the drummer at 3:04 like the guy is jamming out
Whenever u need motivation just scroll through the comments of this song
Much healed, I am now. Thanks.
or a laugh because some of them are funny-
Yes
I’ve played this exact video 342 times.
Enough said
I might have an addiction
SuperUltraGamer Don't we all
SuperUltraGamer SAME
OML YOU'RE LIKE ME
Me tho
Only 342? Man I got a problem then.
If there's a song in musicals that I relate to the most, this is definetly that. I never thought someone could understand so well what I go through.
Totally understand you, same
How you doing now? Hope you feel better :")
@@alexpane3405 i had already forgotten about this comment, oml! And im doing fine, thanks for asking :D I got an adorable boyfriend that seemed to appear almost magically for me. I still struggle a lot with social anxiety but what i've been learning through this whole time is to have courage, even if it's hard. I hope things turn out better for you 🥰 And believe me, they will, they always do.
Im in the same position. I feel like im just watching my life from a window. But today i was happier. I had a good day.
This made me happy to read 💖 I hope you've had a ton of good days since then and that you're happy
Didn’t realize I needed an “anxiety anthem” until now
i relate to that so much
I just came back here because my parents and I are packing for a trip and they keep arguing too.
same
Dear Evan Hansen,
Why are so many people using this format
Sincerely, Me
I like your username
@@Wolf-vy2gu thanks
Tfw ur a theater kid
Heh nice
@@jacproton5119 thank you
The "Falling in a forest part" really makes me think of someone with suicidal thought, ready to jump off a building (The whole falling in a forest), question if they have, or ever make a sound either way, feeling like no one cares enough about them as up to this point they feel like no one hears them, and no one is waving back at them.
But right as they're about to it, someone intervenes and stops them, the first time they managed to make a sound, the first time someone waved back at them, hence the full sentence finally being said "Is anybody waving back at me"
Idk, it's probably not what it's all about, but this is my headcannon and I like it!
Actually I don’t think you’re too far off. I’m pretty sure the guy singing makes an unsuccessful suicide attempt in the play.
@@allie_678 you’re right
"I'm waiting around for an answer to appear" is probably the best description of my life right now
ah class today were gonna learn about 2020, so this is where all of the theater (theatre) geeks were during the pandemic, in quarantine.
I think most of us were watching Hamilton on Disney+
@@kingofthemultiverseforever893 yessss
2 months later.....
We’re still here 👋🤷♀️😅
King of the Multiverse Forever we are

Space dad wow glad you have good taste in musicals space dad
wow guys, found shiro, season 3 spoiler alert
This song is just perfect for anyone struggling with anxiety, I mean I should know. Being a senior in high school whilst living with anxiety can become impossible but this song and whole musical reminds me there are people out there on the other side of that window and things will get better
he protec
he attac
but most importantly
he tap tap tap.
I told myself that I was gonna be immune to this musical and that it wouldn't feel personal to me, but then this song happened and I'm honestly crying
Steph Piano same
To be fair that's also what happened with Hamilton so the joke's on me lol
That happens with every musical I listen to lool
Very true
I managed to cry during Heathers?? Is that weird??
Evan: is anybody waving back at me?
Me: *waves*
Kawaii_marshmallows 123 same
Even: Somebody's waving back yey
Evan: Well I can stop singing
For someone that almost committed suicide, this movie made me cries quite a few times. I might be one of the only ones, but I really loved that movie. Made me realize that I'm lucky to be alive and I should cherish every day with my friends and family.
Nviek5 introduced me to this beautiful song
“ last time i saw my mother she was waving to me in a library in texas through a windo- “ wrong musical
AYE
HEATHERS !
POOR JD-
Omg 😂 she was waving through a window
I just watched heathers last night 😂
this song is literally the perfect metaphor for anxiety-
Lucky me. I just found this for the first time
I've got "step out step out of the sun stuck in my head for hours. H E L P!!! 😭😭😭
Sorry, it's now stuck for forever in your head :)
This musical has given me a new outlook on life. Thank you for encouraging me to just be me. It's exactly what I needed to hear right now.
*the how this song connected to my life* cliche
laurenthomsxn where's the suicide and sap backstory??
there isn't one, i take comfort in music. bye.
dude people don't need to share their life story on the internet, people can say they feel better when they listen to music without sharing their life with complete strangers... THANKS BYE
thank you, Olivia.
