This is everything. Holy moly, if this musical doesn't see this and give you an audition I don't know what they are thinking. This performance is astounding.
+Evynne Hollens your performance was, in all categories, amazing. Perhaps, you can discuss having Broadway relocate to where you are? ツ better yet, maybe they could stream the entire musical. Thank you Evy, that is beautiful
Of all the songs you've done, and they are all so good, this is one that I keep coming back to and playing over and over. Starting with Sara Bareilles great music and wonderful lyrics, then add Nathan's awesome arrangement and magic on the keys, then your masterful and emotional interpretation brings it home, and I can't stop listening and letting the music wash over me. As always, thanks to you both for sharing your talents with us.
OMG, that was absolutely amazing. your voice is like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, just a side note, Sara Bareilles dedicated this song to Miranda Sings at her concert the other night, Sara said the lyrics is Miranda's life
3:20 is where it gets me EVERY TIME! You can really hear the passion behind your voice! Faithful follower! Keep going! Thanks for all you and your husband do!!!
OH MY GOSH!! You don't know how excited I am that you covered this, I've been listening to the album nonstop since it came out and it fits your voice so perfectly! Thanks Evynne & Nathan, happy Thanksgiving!
I can't believe you posted this cover a year ago! 😱 I still love it as much if not more than the first time I heard it. Can you please cover more musical songs. I love your voice keep singing 🎤 🎶😊I love you and your family, have a wonderful day. 💙
wow, I was enthralled from start to finish. It isn't just the power of the song and its lyrics, although they are undeniable, it's your connection to the song and the way you throw your whole self into it. I've loved your voice since I first heard it but you managed to completely blow me away with this one. I don't think I've ever been a bigger fan than I am right at this moment.
What is there to not love about your voice? We're talking about a technically perfect but yet emotive voice right here. The seamless transitions between registers while maintaining a clear, bright and well supported sound throughout your range; the neutral larynx and well placed configuration with the right amount of pharyngeal resonance just enough not to be too biting and piercing; the ability to shift between a head and a chest dominant mixed on command with a perfectly mastered pianissimo... Seriously, what is there not to love about it?
This rendition has me over here sobbing...This song seriously sounds like my life, and how I feel about it.Thank you this is so beautiful and touching.
I hate that you're a better singer than so many people who are hugely famous. You've got more than twice the talent of most famous singers and deserve a lot more recognition.
You have an amazing voice. The piano arrangement is beautiful, as well. Outstanding video! Omg, I just realized who you are! I saw the video about your birth. You're extraordinarily talented, Evynne.
6 years later an STILL the best performance of this song..Evynne you have such incredible talent....this still brings tears to my eyes as much as it did the first time I saw this....WELL DONE!!!
How on earth could I have missed this absolute GEM of a song?? This song again allows you to show both the sheer power and the soft tenderness of your voice. And Mr Alef is a magician on the piano keys. I LOVE this!
I have been following Sara's journey of the writing and producing the music for Waitress since she first announced it and absolutely loved the music. Your cover of this song is so wonderful and beautiful. Great job Evynne.
I recently just sang this song in my musical theatre class for our show and hearing this made me cry more then I did signing this. When we sang this we did this as a surprise for.one of.our teachers in my class cause we have 2 teachers and she was adopted and we had the.high school choreograph to this song and the Jr high sang and u made me cry more then ever God bless you for making my heart have tears of joy
Wow, that is a great song, so powerful and emotional. Thank you. Maybe you could do a voice lesson about how to sing the deep notes. That is so difficult for me. Would be great . Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 😊
I really like your cover. Your voice fit great to this song and you make your own version of a song again. It is a little bit funny because I've heard just the song of sara bareilles as i get the message that you upload this song :) Thank you that you upload us such a great cover again! Wish you happy Thanksgiving! Greetings from Germany :)
In my humble opinion, this is by far the best cover I have heard you do Evynne. Perhaps it's my mutual adoration of Sara B., but you nailed this. Tremendous performance! Of course, Nate's playing is spot on as usual. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
Just beautiful! Thank you so much for covering this! You did an amazing job. I can't wait to see this musical some day (live on west coast, so it will be a while).
You don't know how happy you've made me. I just discovered Waitress a few weeks and I fell in love with this song in particular. But... you singing it just made everything a whole lot better. Thank you so much for singing it, you did a fantastic job!
This is seriously one of the best things I have ever seen/heard. I had chills from the first note! Those belted "mine"s, though... I totally lost it!!! You are incredibly talented!!!!
I have listened to many of the covers and versions of this and I have to say yours is my favorite! You put so much of your heart into it and it is so immersive from the first shot of the video! Excellent job!!
I totally need to get a copy of this musical. I love that you follow your passion and introduce us all to new and sometimes hidden gems. You have such a powerful voice, each video you produce has me falling a little more in love with music and the power it can hold with just a song. Thank you, thank you, thank you
WOW! Great job covering this one. I quietly listen most of the time, and don't typically comment, but I had to this time. You're always amazing. Your grasp of music is always good. However, when you sing certain songs, it's like your voice reaches into my chest and makes me FEEL it. This is one of them. Tell Peter to give you a hug for me (because, you know, that's a lot less weird than getting a hug from a total stranger).
Evynne have to say that even though I have never heard this song before, and have no idea about the musical, it has to be my new favourite song that you have ever done. It is literally outstanding. The singing is completly amazing but add to that the performance that you gave was just incredible and utterly believable. Really hope this gets you noticed in a big way.
Sara Bareilles is my favorite, too! I was excited to find out you were covering this song. You did her justice ten times over. Thank you for sharing your talents Evynne and Nathan! I look forward to every song. Happy thanksgiving to you all!
I have known you as a voice teacher for a long time. I didn't know about the variety of your performances on CZcams. Love this song, I listened to tons of covers, your cover is one of the best, in my opinion! Thanks for sharing 😍
I don't generally take the time to comment on CZcams videos but this was just too compelling and I couldn't help but say something. That was absolutely beautiful, and moving, and perfect; it was everything I could have asked for in a cover of this song. While I've seen several other covers that have popped up in various places already, I find that the quiet desperation and emotional resonance often seem to be missing from them - but you just nailed both of those things so perfectly! I've been hoping for a while that you, or you and Peter, would cover more of Sara's songs (she is my favourite songwriter as well :)) and this certainly did not disappoint. Sorry for my long winded rambling. I basically just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you do. This was lovely.
+Lori Reed I'm so touched by this. Thank You so much for this comment. I've never really connected with any other song so greatly; not to say I can relate to her story, but the character & the music just drew such intense emotions out of me & Sara communicated it so well, I was hoping I could too! I have tears and goosebumps every time I sing this! So glad you liked it; ramble anytime!
I'm working on this one as well, however my voice is lower. I mentioned on a couple of your other videos that I'm an alto. I can hit the higher notes, but I have to work toward it. I gather inspiration and tips from other singers and you have certainly inspired me. Thanks so much for that. Amazingly done, love your work! Look forward to seeing more!
Omg i am 53, not pregnant obviously, but the words fit me to a "T" as to how I feel about myself at the moment. I am a physical nightmare and longing for the time when i wasnt, longing for love in my life and missing the person i used to be. There is no going back just forward but as soon as this song started i burst into tears. You are simply stunning and I have not heard Sara sing it and I wont. Nothing can touch this version.
Christina, thank you for sharing such a personal message. It means so much to me to know that this song touched you and Sara B gets all the credit for her incredible song! Music has a way of healing and I hope you can find what you're looking for again. Much love!
+Evynne Hollens Thank you! Sometimes you need to cry through and acknowledge the pain and allow yourself to feel it. Most times your so busy taking care of others that you come last. Within the first lyrics i was crying because you touched my heart. I have Lupus, I have diabetes, hypothyroid. I have fistulas and an iliac blockage, i had a blood clot recently. 16 times put under anesthesia since last Sept 2014. People tell me you have to make a new version of yourself. I hope i can before this version peter's out lol. People who are not sick do not realize the energy it takes just to maintain. I am hoping by summer of next year to be on my way back but too many surgeries looming to estimate (arterial bypass, hernia repair, fistulas ugh). Thank you for touching that pain and allowing it to come out. If not it eats you alive.
So moving, vibrant and touching... this song from 'Waitress: The Musical'...Evynne just hits every emotional mark and nails every note perfectly in this, her voice just reaches out and touches your soul.
Oh WOW!! I first found you from a duet you did with Nick Pitera. Hands down -- this is my favorite cover that you've done. This is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Just. WOW. Sara B. wrote an amazing song - but you took it to another level for me. I felt it deep down in the pit of my stomach when you sing it. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!
Amazing as always, Evynne! I can't personally relate to this, but because of your voice, I could really feel this song. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your family!
Argh, technically perfect. Awesome piece, perfect emoting, deep and soulful, great belt. Awesome breath control. Such regret, make a veteran cry (me). The perfect Diva? Play it over and over, like seeing it like handling a jewel, it's facets always amazing. Nuff said?
I love Sara a lot! She's one of my favorite singer. This song means a lot to me because I was last year in ATL and she had a concert and she sang this song. I loved each second of your cover! you're special and your voice is insane! Thx for sharing love
This is everything. Holy moly, if this musical doesn't see this and give you an audition I don't know what they are thinking. This performance is astounding.
+Peter Hollens This musical? They have a screw loose if they don't pick her =P
+Peter Hollens Hey Thanks babe, but you sure you'd want to move to NYC?
+Evynne Hollens YES! MOVE CLOSER TO ME!!!!
+Evynne Hollens your performance was, in all categories, amazing.
Perhaps, you can discuss having Broadway relocate to where you are? ツ
better yet, maybe they could stream the entire musical.
Thank you Evy, that is beautiful
+Peter Hollens exactly my thinking! Sara B. and Evynne H. what a treat for Thanksgiving!
Your voice is so under rated, you're amazing oh my
Thank You Grace!
Your voice is so crystal clear. Wonderful. So much heart, so warm... ;w; Beautiful.
You are the only person besides Jessie that has made me cry with this song.
Carrie Fletcher does justice to this song too
BY FAR the best version I've heard of this!!!!
Of all the songs you've done, and they are all so good, this is one that I keep coming back to and playing over and over. Starting with Sara Bareilles great music and wonderful lyrics, then add Nathan's awesome arrangement and magic on the keys, then your masterful and emotional interpretation brings it home, and I can't stop listening and letting the music wash over me. As always, thanks to you both for sharing your talents with us.
Well put!
OMG, that was absolutely amazing. your voice is like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, just a side note, Sara Bareilles dedicated this song to Miranda Sings at her concert the other night, Sara said the lyrics is Miranda's life
sc1212able and now look who’s going to play dawn 😂😂
3:20 is where it gets me EVERY TIME! You can really hear the passion behind your voice! Faithful follower! Keep going! Thanks for all you and your husband do!!!
OH MY GOSH!! You don't know how excited I am that you covered this, I've been listening to the album nonstop since it came out and it fits your voice so perfectly! Thanks Evynne & Nathan, happy Thanksgiving!
How about Peter, her husband?
+taoist40 Hm? Not sure I understand...
+taoist40 Nathan is the pianist
THIS IS A-mazinggggggg
SARA is my favorite singer too,YOU did her justiceee, congrats ;)
Wow, Thank You!!
You had a lot to live up to, and still managed to move me! Talent!
Thank you.
I can't believe you posted this cover a year ago! 😱 I still love it as much if not more than the first time I heard it. Can you please cover more musical songs. I love your voice keep singing 🎤 🎶😊I love you and your family, have a wonderful day. 💙
wow, I was enthralled from start to finish. It isn't just the power of the song and its lyrics, although they are undeniable, it's your connection to the song and the way you throw your whole self into it. I've loved your voice since I first heard it but you managed to completely blow me away with this one. I don't think I've ever been a bigger fan than I am right at this moment.
Oh my gosh, what a compliment! Thank You so much Leah!
What is there to not love about your voice? We're talking about a technically perfect but yet emotive voice right here. The seamless transitions between registers while maintaining a clear, bright and well supported sound throughout your range; the neutral larynx and well placed configuration with the right amount of pharyngeal resonance just enough not to be too biting and piercing; the ability to shift between a head and a chest dominant mixed on command with a perfectly mastered pianissimo... Seriously, what is there not to love about it?
This is one of your best videos yet! Thank you and Nathan for sharing your talents with us 😊
It breaks my heart that you don't get half the recognition you deserve.
This rendition has me over here sobbing...This song seriously sounds like my life, and how I feel about it.Thank you this is so beautiful and touching.
AHH I FREAKING CRIED STOP IT😍😍😍
Evynne, you are an artiste... thanks for sharing your God given gifts (and hard work) with us.
+Skipper Hawk Thank You so much!
My daughter Hannah has been practicing your singing tips in our garage... You'll have competition soon :)
I hate that you're a better singer than so many people who are hugely famous. You've got more than twice the talent of most famous singers and deserve a lot more recognition.
БРАВО! Чудова пісня, разючі слова , якісний акомпонемент і ви Evynne Hollens просто супер!
You have an amazing voice. The piano arrangement is beautiful, as well. Outstanding video! Omg, I just realized who you are! I saw the video about your birth. You're extraordinarily talented, Evynne.
How are you so perfect?! I don't understand how your voice blows me away every time! Brilliant.
+micahannepark Wow, far from it, but thank you so much!
6 years later an STILL the best performance of this song..Evynne you have such incredible talent....this still brings tears to my eyes as much as it did the first time I saw this....WELL DONE!!!
How on earth could I have missed this absolute GEM of a song?? This song again allows you to show both the sheer power and the soft tenderness of your voice. And Mr Alef is a magician on the piano keys. I LOVE this!
I've listened to Sara B sing this and while she is an amazing singer , I like the intensity and power that Evynne puts into it more.
I have been following Sara's journey of the writing and producing the music for Waitress since she first announced it and absolutely loved the music. Your cover of this song is so wonderful and beautiful. Great job Evynne.
I recently just sang this song in my musical theatre class for our show and hearing this made me cry more then I did signing this.

Wow. They country version I needed all my life!
this is just so honest and so pure.
so authentic.
Your pitch is perfect and your diction crystal clear. Ideal voice for a theater song. One of my favorite covers of this great song.
Wow, that is a great song, so powerful and emotional. Thank you.
Maybe you could do a voice lesson about how to sing the deep notes. That is so difficult for me. Would be great . Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 😊
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS MUSICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JESSIE MUELLER IS GONNA ROCK IT!!!!!! GREAT JOB SINGING THIS SONG!!! Gets me every time.

Oh my... I'm like, teary eyed.... so beautiful. You put so much passion in it.
It isn't just the incredible voice- it is the incredible emotion that you instill in every piece that you sing. I am truly awed.
Chills during the entire second half of the song!! Wow!
In my humble opinion, this is by far the best cover I have heard you do Evynne. Perhaps it's my mutual adoration of Sara B., but you nailed this. Tremendous performance! Of course, Nate's playing is spot on as usual. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
Wow! That was lovely, Evynne. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Peter and little Ashland.

Thoughtful and profound in your telling. Amazing interpretation. Thank you!

This gave me chills! The most talented family I know. Everything about this is perfect.
Wow, Thanks Rams! ;)
Apaixonado! Vem pro Brasil!
That piano arrangement tho. Best version of this song I’ve heard.
Sara Bareilles is my favorite, too! I was excited to find out you were covering this song. You did her justice ten times over. Thank you for sharing your talents Evynne and Nathan! I look forward to every song. Happy thanksgiving to you all!
+blimeyhermione07 What a compliment; Thank You so much!

I have known you as a voice teacher for a long time. I didn't know about the variety of your performances on CZcams. Love this song, I listened to tons of covers, your cover is one of the best, in my opinion! Thanks for sharing 😍
uhhh, im crying. This is so beautifully done.
beautiful thank you so much, what a great introduction to this musical
Owh my god , i love your voice mam
Sara & Jessie are amazing talents, but your rendition of this is my absolute favorite. The way you handled the belts at the end was just heaven.
Best version ever!! Amazing voice - I think this even more than Sarah’s.
Beyond AMAZING!! Left me speechless. Evynne, you could feel all the emotion. Truly incredible!!
Oh thank you so much Lauren! So glad you liked it!
I don't generally take the time to comment on CZcams videos but this was just too compelling and I couldn't help but say something.

You said everything I would want to.
She is the best ever, couldn't be bettered, including Susan, who would be hugely impressed by her rendition.
This suing is the perfect example for all of the techniques you teach like belting, chest, head and mixed voice and twang too I thunk
Just beautiful! You made me cry!
Fantastic video. Stunning performance. So heart wrenching.
The beauty of Evynne's voice, brings just one tune into a full musical wonder. Loved it.
I'm working on this one as well, however my voice is lower. I mentioned on a couple of your other videos that I'm an alto. I can hit the higher notes, but I have to work toward it. I gather inspiration and tips from other singers and you have certainly inspired me. Thanks so much for that. Amazingly done, love your work! Look forward to seeing more!
this video was perfect! gosh, it put me in tears. only the Tony performance has done that
Amazing just amazing ...wow!
Thank you for bringing the note up to the next octave twice towards the end of the song. It has been noted. I love it. That, and the abrupt end.
Omg i am 53, not pregnant obviously, but the words fit me to a "T" as to how I feel about myself at the moment. I am a physical nightmare and longing for the time when i wasnt, longing for love in my life and missing the person i used to be. There is no going back just forward but as soon as this song started i burst into tears. You are simply stunning and I have not heard Sara sing it and I wont. Nothing can touch this version.
Christina, thank you for sharing such a personal message. It means so much to me to know that this song touched you and Sara B gets all the credit for her incredible song! Music has a way of healing and I hope you can find what you're looking for again. Much love!
+Evynne Hollens Thank you! Sometimes you need to cry through and acknowledge the pain and allow yourself to feel it. Most times your so busy taking care of others that you come last. Within the first lyrics i was crying because you touched my heart. I have Lupus, I have diabetes, hypothyroid. I have fistulas and an iliac blockage, i had a blood clot recently. 16 times put under anesthesia since last Sept 2014. People tell me you have to make a new version of yourself. I hope i can before this version peter's out lol. People who are not sick do not realize the energy it takes just to maintain. I am hoping by summer of next year to be on my way back but too many surgeries looming to estimate (arterial bypass, hernia repair, fistulas ugh). Thank you for touching that pain and allowing it to come out. If not it eats you alive.
So moving, vibrant and touching... this song from 'Waitress: The Musical'...Evynne just hits every emotional mark and nails every note perfectly in this, her voice just reaches out and touches your soul.
Oh thank you so much Robin! Your support means so much!
You gave me goosebumps.
Oh WOW!! I first found you from a duet you did with Nick Pitera. Hands down -- this is my favorite cover that you've done. This is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Just. WOW. Sara B. wrote an amazing song - but you took it to another level for me. I felt it deep down in the pit of my stomach when you sing it. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!
Amazing as always, Evynne! I can't personally relate to this, but because of your voice, I could really feel this song. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your family!
+Katie Lanham Thank You so much! Yes, I think the way she wrote this, just makes it impossible not to feel it so deeply!
Argh, technically perfect. Awesome piece, perfect emoting, deep and soulful, great belt. Awesome breath control. Such regret, make a veteran cry (me). The perfect Diva? Play it over and over, like seeing it like handling a jewel, it's facets always amazing. Nuff said?
NAILED IT!!!!!!! I almost cried!!!!!
Beautiful and clear voice!
I NEVER comment on CZcams stuff , but your song gave me goosebumps. Simply amazing. Thank you.
Strong,powerful and incredible to put it simply it was beautiful thank you!
Thank you Robert!
Absolute perfection!!!
Wow!! Your voice is so touching!! Amazing job!!
What a beautiful voice
I love Sara a lot! She's one of my favorite singer. This song means a lot to me because I was last year in ATL and she had a concert and she sang this song. I loved each second of your cover! you're special and your voice is insane! Thx for sharing love
Thank you so much Isaias!
Absolutely amazing!
I had almost forgotten this song existed, such a perfect cover.
This is beautiful! I will be listening to this over and over again! Also...Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Yours is my fave version of this song!!
What a gorgeous voice and brilliant performance.
