Hearing this from connors perspective it’s really sad because that’s the way he thought of himself: not worth fighting for, not worthy of his family’s love, not worth crying over even after he’s gone
Hopefully they'll add one in the movie. Musical movies often add new songs. Just hopefully it's a good song and is sung by a decent singer. All too often movie musicals have pretty bad singers.
@@carissaperez8924 I believe the closest is Little Bit of Light, showing more insight into Connor's past. Aside from that there isn't any song for Connor. Much less a solo song that we so desperately need him to have.
@@kezziahvalentino2450 i think it's connor connor. But both Evan's Connor and the original Connor would feel bad. In the novel it goes a little more into depth, but it's almost like he refused to think of the bad memories and only listened to the good memories, like when she kept hi, train for his swim meets ect.
I love Connor’s perspective with this flipped narrative. Telling his sister that he understands why she’s apprehensive and doesn’t want to mourn him that he knows he’s done wrong by her and it’s kind of his way of apologising to her and it’s really sweet and sad 💙😢
@@beckemmen9702 oh man I could write a whole essay on this, but I'm lazy so, let's just say I'm not fond of the plot and the main character (yes, I dislike evan)
Famous in NY has a series called "Pronoun Showdown" where they reverse the roles of the songs, usually with the person singing it being the person it's originally about, e.g. Alexander singing "Burn" from his perspective, Kathy singing "If I Didn't Believe in You" from her perspective, the princesses in Into the Woods singing "Agony", etc. This rendition is part of that series.
EVER SINCE DEAR EVAN HANSEN CAME OUT I HAVE SAID THAT FOR FOREVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DUET BETWEEN EVAN AND CONNOR AND I'VE SAID THAT CONNOR NEEDED A REPRISED VERSION OF WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW OR REQUIEM… THANK YOU ANTONIO FOR MAKING ONE OF THESE DREAMS COME TRUE!!!!!!!
Why would you play this game of pretend? Remembering through a secondhand sorrow? Such a great son and wonderful friend Oh, don't the tears just pour You could curl up and hide in your room There in your bed, still sobbing tomorrow You could give in to all of the gloom But tell me, tell me what for Why should you have a heavy heart? Why should you start to break in pieces? Why should you go and fall apart for me? Why would you play the grieving girl and lie Saying that you miss me And that your world has gone dark without my light you should sing no requiem tonight I was the flood that swallowed you whole Refusing the love you endlessly gave me I was a fire out of control, a flame that couldn't be tamed Why should you have a heavy heart? Why should you say you'll keep me with you? Why should you go and fall apart for me? Why should you play the grieving girl and lie Saying that you miss me and that your world has gone dark without my light? You should sing no requiem Tonight 'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep So, I won't tell you that you didn't have it right I won't tell you that it wasn't black and white After all I put you through I won't say it wasn't true That I was not the monster That you knew 'Cause why would you play the grieving girl and lie Saying that you miss me And that your world has gone dark You should sing no requiem You should sing no requiem tonight Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh
The part where he sings about the villains falling and no one lights a candle and being the monster they knew... It's heart breaking. It's like he is screaming how he does not deserve their love and sadness... the way he sings it... like he is blaming himself. That he is not worthy of their love.
I dont ever comment on videos, but this needed saying. His voice and endless emotion are so wonderfully overwhelming. This is yet more proof of how beautiful music is!
I feel like if Connor was the one singing "Requiem" in the original it would be even more emotional 'cause we all know that they weren't the closest siblings and his version is like an apology "I know I wasn't the best brother so please don't cry over me"
This is what it sounds like when my depression starts taking over my thoughts. I never really realized it until hearing it coming from someone else, how incredibly heart breaking it sounds.
This song hits so hard. It's like finally getting an apology and validation from a person who hurt, and hurt, and hurt you. I know I'll never get it from them, but it sooths something to hear it here.
Ok no. This is just so sad! Shows how Connor saw himself. It’s so sad. I always feel/felt bad for Connor. And just in general ppl who see themselves like this. Who kill themselves it so devastated that ppl go through stuff like this. This show is so amazing in that aspect. It shines light on the struggles kids go through. And it’s truly beautiful. I love this show so much.
Honestly I never cry when seeing creative pieces like this, but I did lose a tear or two because I think this resonates with a little part of everyone. Please take the 4 minutes out of you day to listen to this❤️
Okay so for context purposes: in the DEH book we find out Connor had actually never threatened to kill Zoe. He also didn't understand why she had said that. Though not an antagonist, he still recognized he was a jerk to her, and felt guilty about it. Yes, he was unstable because of his BPD, but Connor wasn't a violent person (he only ever harmed himself), he couldn't actually lay a hand on his sister. We also find out Zoe did in fact miss Connor a lot (and has also cried for him), and she tells Evan precisely that. So with that said, here's my reinterpretation of Connor's Requiem (Reprise): // Why do you play this game of pretend? Remembering through a secondhand sorrow? One lousy son and second-rate friend Oh, don't the tears just pour I see you curl up and hide your room There in your bed, still sobbing tomorrow You hate giving in to all of the gloom So tell me, tell me what for? Why should you have a heavy heart? When you go around and say I'm guilty Why should you go and fall apart for me? Why did you say that I was bad then cried Saying that you miss me And that your world has gone dark without my light? ...You will sing no requiem tonight You tried to reach out, I pushed you away Left all my broken pieces behind you Everything wasted, nothing to say So you will sing no requiem They hear my voice, and feel me near Within his words, they finally found me And now that they know that I am still here You will sing no requiem Tonight 'Cause when the villain falls, the kingdom never weeps No one lights a candle to remember Right? No one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep So, can't blame you though you didn't have it right No, it wasn't always black and white But after all I put you through... Then maybe it was true That I am just a monster That you knew Oh, you shouldn't play the grieving girl and lie Saying that you miss me And that your world has gone dark You will sing no requiem tonight \\
To all who need it, know that you will be found, and that help is always one step away. It does get better. I know it feels like it won’t, but I promise it will eventually
I absolutely love this cover!!!! Its better then the original to me! His vibrato melts my heart, and he has such control; It's a breath of fresh air to listen to him sing! I don't think I've ever wanted to sing a duet with a human more than I do with Antonio!!! When he is crazy famous, I get to tell all my friends that I so called it.
This just gave me chills right over my whole body, the song itself already has its own emotion but the change of perspective associated with his incredible impersonation was simply brilliant omg
@@KrakenwithaKam ... hope his dreams are fulfilled ... and he makes it big on Broadway ... he really is so talented ... but, show biz is such a hard business to brake into even if you have the talent ... a lot of rejection and disappointments ... you have to be so strong and never stop believing in yourself ... I wish (as many here do) him all the very best that life can bring ...
Starting about a year ago, I began gobbling up everything that I could find on RUclips that featured Antonio. He is such an amazing voice and a unique style. I can't wait for more.
I love this song... I cannot stop listening to it. It's just amazing. I hope to see the show live someday (I live in the netherlands) but I know all the songs and i think this would have been an amazing addition.
Im not crying you’re crying This is absolutely gorgeous and heartbreaking 😭😭😭 Also petition to have Mike Faist and Laura Dreyfuss (or whatever combination of Connor and Zoe actors you want) sing a duet version of this song. Please I will love it so much
Imagine a duet where both connor and zoe sing requiem from their perspectives
Saaaame
I need this now
Can this happen
Petition for this to happen in the movie someday
@@tatepetter oh my jesus yes
Hearing this from connors perspective it’s really sad because that’s the way he thought of himself: not worth fighting for, not worthy of his family’s love, not worth crying over even after he’s gone
Yeah man, I always knows my eyes are gonna get teary when it's in Conners view. Even if it's not entirely in the musical.
It had me SOBBING
this version makes me desperately wish for an argument-style angry duet
YESYESYES
My School made one😅😂

The dear Evan Hansen book shows Connors perspective as well as Evan's, and man I bawled like a baby
In the book they have parts in Connors perspective and it’s really fucking depressing
hearing this song from connor murphy’s perspective!!! amazing!!!
Brooke D you mean Evan’s version of Connor? Because we don’t really know if he’s really a nice guy behind hos asshole demeanour.
yes yes yes

@@mysterysunfurled fair enough- i can see where you're coming from i guess
The little voice break on “dark” at 3:16 hurts me
Lexi V it hurts all of us
The climax build up at 2:30 and after with the “I AM NOT THE MONSTER... that you knew” that right there chills literal chills
I don’t understand why this isn’t like a reprise for the original.
It's Connors perspective

I think maybe because the ghost of connor never speaks or really appears in the show
@@malunafinol7930 Because this song's from the book
👏LET👏ANTONIO👏PLAY👏EVAN👏ALREADY👏WE’RE👏ALL👏WAITING👏
Judah Neese Yeah but they did just announce the new Evan and he’s pretty amazing
You mean connor
Glynnis The Menace yea I agree he’d totally be an amazing Connor... maybe not so much Evan
JT Langlas wait have you guys not seen his versions of Words Fail or For Forever cause they had me SHOOK
Judah Neese ummmm nOOOO I kinda need that in my life now tho
What an artist! He chose when to use straight tone and vibrato to convey crying and immense emotion in the perfect parts of the song
It’s like Conner is saying “I don’t deserve your love, don’t mourn me. I don’t cry much, but...😭😭😭.
EVER SINCE DEAR EVAN HANSEN CAME OUT I HAVE SAID THAT FOR FOREVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DUET BETWEEN EVAN AND CONNOR AND I'VE SAID THAT CONNOR NEEDED A REPRISED VERSION OF WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW OR REQUIEM… THANK YOU ANTONIO FOR MAKING ONE OF THESE DREAMS COME TRUE!!!!!!!
Why would you play this game of pretend?
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
Such a great son and wonderful friend
Oh, don't the tears just pour
You could curl up and hide in your room
There in your bed, still sobbing tomorrow
You could give in to all of the gloom
But tell me, tell me what for
Why should you have a heavy heart?
Why should you start to break in pieces?
Why should you go and fall apart for me?
Why would you play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that you miss me
And that your world has gone dark without my light
you should sing no requiem tonight
I was the flood that swallowed you whole
Refusing the love you endlessly gave me
I was a fire out of control, a flame that couldn't be tamed
Why should you have a heavy heart?
Why should you say you'll keep me with you?
Why should you go and fall apart for me?
Why should you play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that you miss me and that your world has gone dark without my light?
You should sing no requiem
Tonight
'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
No one lights a candle to remember
No, no one mourns at all
When they lay them down to sleep
So, I won't tell you that you didn't have it right
I won't tell you that it wasn't black and white
After all I put you through
I won't say it wasn't true
That I was not the monster
That you knew
'Cause why would you play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that you miss me
And that your world has gone dark
You should sing no requiem
You should sing no requiem
tonight
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Thank you so muuchhh

The change of perspective gave me more chills!!!! Amazinggg
This is the song of every time teenage me attempted suicide, every night I wanted to die. This is perfection. Oh my heart.
I'm glad you're still here.
From someone else who has also been there, I hear you. We're both still here, but man did this bring me to tear. Stay strong.
You mean so much on this earth. So glad you're still here.
The universe gives it's toughest battles to it's strongest soldiers xx
I'm super glad you're still here!
Man requiem always makes me emotional but from Conners perspective I am fully crying
This is what it sounds like when my depression starts taking over my thoughts. I never really realized it until hearing it coming from someone else, how incredibly heart breaking it sounds.
Literally

So true
ONE WORD:
*V I B R A T O* 😍👌
I didn’t think my heart could be more broken from this show. But just switch the pronouns around and I’m in pieces 😭
BYE I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH
Ok no. This is just so sad! Shows how Connor saw himself. It’s so sad. I always feel/felt bad for Connor. And just in general ppl who see themselves like this. Who kill themselves it so devastated that ppl go through stuff like this. This show is so amazing in that aspect. It shines light on the struggles kids go through. And it’s truly beautiful. I love this show so much.
Connor perspective is me every time I though about suicide
I'm glad you're still here
Same. If I had listened to this song then I probably would have been singing it crying every night......... It makes me so greatfull I survived
@@ameliatropman9729 I'm so proud of you for that. All the best ❤
I come back to this daily
There should be something like this in the movie, like a song between all the murphy's or atleast Zoe and Connor.
now that it's closer i really hope there is!
This changes the entire atmosphere of the song and it’s beautiful
I was in opera choir with this guy. I'm living the dream y'all. One of my friends/accuaintences is famous.
The version we didn't know was needed. Hopefully they add something like this in the movie or have an official cover/duet
Imagine Connor singing this before he took his life... (That was sad, I'm sorry)
Honestly I never cry when seeing creative pieces like this, but I did lose a tear or two because I think this resonates with a little part of everyone. Please take the 4 minutes out of you day to listen to this❤️
That broken "That you knew" made me cry
Okay so for context purposes: in the DEH book we find out Connor had actually never threatened to kill Zoe.

You hate giving in to all of the gloom
So tell me, tell me what for?
Why should you have a heavy heart?
When you go around and say I'm guilty
Why should you go and fall apart for me?
Why did you say that I was bad then cried
Saying that you miss me
And that your world has gone dark without my light?
...You will sing no requiem tonight
You tried to reach out, I pushed you away
Left all my broken pieces behind you
Everything wasted, nothing to say
So you will sing no requiem
They hear my voice, and feel me near
Within his words, they finally found me
And now that they know that I am still here
You will sing no requiem
Tonight
'Cause when the villain falls, the kingdom never weeps
No one lights a candle to remember
Right? No one mourns at all
When they lay them down to sleep
So, can't blame you though you didn't have it right
No, it wasn't always black and white
But after all I put you through...
Then maybe it was true
That I am just a monster
That you knew
Oh, you shouldn't play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that you miss me
And that your world has gone dark
You will sing no requiem tonight \\
i was in a toxic relationship and a little after i ended it he passed away and this is really hitting that spot wow.
To all who need it, know that you will be found, and that help is always one step away. It does get better. I know it feels like it won’t, but I promise it will eventually
He did the reverse of Mallory's version ohhhhh
imagine being this young and already have a mature voice
0:45-0:56
heart? broken
tears? flowing
emotion? sadness
hotel? trivago
Actual things I said while watching this
whY IS IT *SO GOOD?*
WHY IS IT SO *HRRGEJEHEBEH*
WE DESERVED A CONNOR SOLO AND THIS SHOULDVE BEEN IT
Omg imagine if this was a requiem reprise in the actual musical??? that would’ve been soooooo gooood
I was not expecting the feels this chucked at me....i need this recorded professionally and on a CD asap
I don't think y'all understand how much I am in love with Antonio's voice!!!
this perspective breaks my heart.... i can't...
I've been pulverized emotionally
this still gets me
Ok but I need an animatic of this RIGHT BLOODY NOW!!
Chills and Tears. I’m just sobbing in my room. I love this so much.
Seriously crying, you are such an angle and so amazing
Acute angle
angle
Nindy Aisah you know what I meant 😂
J Fly yep exactly 🤷🏻♀️😂
oh gosh why am i crying so much
i knew this was going to break my heart but i didn’t know i would be weeping at the end

I don't think I've ever wanted to sing a duet with a human more than I do with Antonio!!! When he is crazy famous, I get to tell all my friends that I so called it.
Ehm...be the next connor murphy? Such an intense and perfect emotion from Connor's perspective💙
This just gave me chills right over my whole body, the song itself already has its own emotion but the change of perspective associated with his incredible impersonation was simply brilliant omg
This made me cry
1:16: "You should sing no requiem...tonight". Me: OH MY GOD, CHILLS!!!!!!!
Also, did this give anyone else MAJOR "Aftershocks" vibes from n2n....?
I feel like Aftershocks is a lot more malicious, though. This is just pure regret. For me, it evokes more I Am the One (Reprise) for me
chills.
HE IS BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SHOW STOPPING PERFORMANCE
absolutely touching. Wow. Really touching. Thanks
MY HEART 😭😭😭😭😭😭
How this doesn’t have more views is beyond me
i'm sorry, but that was fucking beautiful.
How is this a lot sadder than the original?
Omg im in tears that was amazing
Wow... this made me cry. I love creative pieces like this!
I think the next time the show is revised this should be added as a reprise
Has anyone overlapped the original with this 'cause I need that to exist
i have heard them side by side and its beautiful
I recently sang it this way not knowing that this video existed. Way way way better than me of course
Let us hear
