Thanks to Tim Plambeck and everyone at LFA!
Hah, Not only a genius composer, but a brilliant pianist AND can sing too? Dammit, what can't you do? I am in absolute awe now.
Love listening to composers sing their own music...especially when they play with the melody and rhythm. Love the back-phrasing in the first verse. Damnit, this man is talented.
I've fallen in love with this song immediately
Jason Robert Brown never ceases to amaze me. Playing the piano so well (especially that intro) and being able to sing....just wow
this is so inspiring!! I've never heard him sing before and this is probably my favorite JRB song
Love it when JRB sings
Probably my favourite thing on the internet.
Who's still watching this in 2016??
+Sean Hanson I am, I have a performance in a few weeks!
2024 👋🏻
Exactly, it means us mortals can sing it too!
Sheet Music: ok, JRB, how many notes do you want in the opening?
JRB: Yes.
WOAH, people are upset that the key was changed by the COMPOSER of the piece?
The day I'm not allowed the change the keys of my pieces, I'm quitting music. hahaha.
(this post is meant to be light-hearted; not serious)
He has a great voice!! Who knew he was such a good performer as well as a writer and musician!!
I know professional, brilliant, extremely talented accompanists who can't play this music. Let alone sing it at the same time. What...how...do you...wonderful.
Jason, you are one of the most talented composers and performers who has ever lived through my eyes. It is my dream to work with you one day. I love hearing you play and sing your own pieces!!!
I don't understand how you can be so perfect and talented?! I'm thankful for your existence & everything you've ever created! This was wonderful, as always :)
Wow, Jason.
I'm again in awe.
Thank you for posting this.

I'm so in love with this song. Thank you for writing this masterpiece.
Fabulous as always! Love it.
I wish i could be so influential, such an amazing musician when i get older, im 18,and am on my to college.Jason, you'll
be my inspiration to keep going!
I can't believe I got to sing for you. I've peaked. This song..... I can't....... SO amazing.
You are intimidatingly brilliant. I feel the need to pack away my piano and never touch it EVER again.
He is WONDERFUL
Dat intro tho
Fantastic. Truly amazing. I can't wait to see Songs for a New World in Toronto this spring!
my god, you are brilliant.
Jason you are incredible ! It will be an honour to perform with you on the 26th !! hope 13 goes well, I'm sure it will be phenomenal just like all of your other work !!!
such a flow! so great! When you sing it, Jason R Brown, it sounds like song from Last five years!
Loved this video! All the best!!
This my favorite version of the song. I love it so much more in G major. I'm a lyrical baritone, so this is so much better. My University in miami (FIU) is doing this in the fall semester. I got a callback and this is the song we're doing for all the males. Any advice?
you are incredible!!! and your bassist is INSANE!!! get it jrb!
This is incredible. No matter what key it's in.
Why must you be so ridiculous amazing good sir? Just amazing keep it up!
What a treat - thank you!
@JasonRobertBrown wow was it really originally in G? ive lived my whole life feeling bad because i thought i couldn't sing the song, now I might do this for my high school certificate musical assignment
This is a fantastic Chanukah gift...
Wow. Love it.
It's weird how the stakes in this song are so high and in this performance it's just like, "Yeah...king of the world"
I think he's so adorable! :)
Fabulous as always! Love it. -angela
I wish I had an eighth of the talent you have. Just saying.
On Music Notes, you can buy the sheet music and transpose it down or up to G Major, I recommend transposing it up, so that the piano doesn't sound mushy, and just sing it an octave lower than written
Ah, the foot-tapping. Really takes me back... :P
definitely.
JRB is the best
CA1TE no one ever believes it when I tell them
AvacadoflavorBeans welp they're missing out hey
this man is Great it would nice to be friended on Facebook by him ahhhhhh how would ever found Osiris Calloway which by the way is me!!!!! lol i love that he takes music where its goes, i know it goes with him and im glade he shares thanks man see you on facebook lol
@JasonRobertBrown oh wow a key I can actually sing! I love it!
I absolutely love this piece! Do you think it could be performed by a female vocalist?
Awesome
@coynecompositions He wrote it! let him do what he wants!
@JasonRobertBrown wow that interesting. is there sheet music to this in the orginal key?
Jason, do you perform often? What does it take to get you to perform somewhere?
I’m sad that anything Jason rights is basically carpal tunnel for an accompanist to play because there’s soo many songs like this I want in my book but the accompaniment is just too complex
DeVon Bridges
Any accompanist worth their salt can play JRB in auditions
I think I like it better in C major
totally depends on the voice, but I agree, sits nicer :)
WIN
Does anyone know what key this is in?
@JasonRobertBrown Aha!? Not C major... ??? But Why transpose up to C major ???
well see, he's a baritone.
Yeah, G major is already high enough. Not everybody is Billy Porter :)
i didnt know john locke played guitar
I'm a big fan Jason, but G major? That made me sad. Great playing and great voice.
How DARE the composer change the key of his own song?! Haha!!
Brilliant! Absolutely love it Jason. Big fan! Would love if you could comment or give feedback on my videos. Ive written a few shows and hoping to audition for MT college next year.
Matthew
He reminds me of Paul Simon,a great musican but everyone else sings his songs better.
I believe I have developed a massive crush on you after just watching that. *crazy stalker alert!* *crazy stalker alert!* Love ~ a girl who wishes she could compose as well as you do.
is he jewish?
