Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.
Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

3:13 When you see his tongue you know he’s about to make you cry with that BELTING!
Garett 9109 ikr!!😭❤️
Garett 9109 I can’t tell you how hype I was to see the tongue 👅! Ben said we are gonna get the real deal in these vids. And I’m here for it alllll
You beat me to this comment!!!!! I was like is he belting if his tongue isn’t out!!!
and he did indeed make me cry
That’s so true.
wow. ben platt can’t be from this planet
Hes not. No person that gorgeous, talented and Wonderful came from here.
Nope. He came from the planet amazing.
This world don't deserve him.
@@sayuribanderas it really doesn't. He's wonderful
I thought that was already confirmed- he came from the Planet Pitch Perfect and inner Evan Hansen came into play and made a nice Jail Cell Tango and appeared here.
Dont ask what that was.. Cause i dont know
I’m too emotionally fragile to have just discovered Ben’s music.
Whitney Wolfe me too girl
Omg me right now !!!
Same
hehehe your not alone out there hehe
sometimes i have those moments too
its naturaly perfect haha :)
Right?!

I love this quote. I've got it on a sign in my bedroom 💛❤️
Yes...
Just hit me like a ton of bricks, in a good way
Bruh why are these types of quotes make me sad! Maybe it's because I've read so many sad sokeefe fan fictions... you guys probably don't know what I'm talking about but all the sad moments hit different every time I read or hear songs that have such a great deep meaning
@@rapidwandaz6372 know what you mean. There are a lot of songs that I don't listen to because of the emotions they bring back
Ben Platt is basically the Neville Longbottom of Pitch Perfect.
YES
Oh my god yes
😳
yes
Isn't it the same guy from pitch perfect?
Ben Platt: *opens up mouth*
Me: *sobs uncontrollably*
Welp, he's done it again with another awesome song.
Proud American! THERE IS NO CURE! COME JOIN MY SUPPORT GROUP. I AM THE LEADER.

My dad used to tell me "When we are young, everything takes time, but when we grow up, time takes everything." This song elaborates that
I love this your dad is a genius
wow
Amazing quote
Yeah bro🥺
Beautiful
When you’re turning 17 soon and realize you’re not going to be a kid forever and then you listen to this and it hits because you’re scared about growing up.
Same, I turned 17 last week and this song gives me so many feels
Haylee Cat happy late birthday! Mines in 20 days! Hope you had a great birthday!
I feel u bro
I just turned 24 and I still feel this way. Growing up isn't about age, it's about time and learning and feeling and everything else in between. There's no rush. In fact, I don't think we ever stop "growing up".
You'll be fine, I promise 😉💕
P.S. I am writing this at 1:15am so apologies if it makes no sense or sounds incredibly sappy 😂
Sarah Percival well said 😌🙏🏼
Video Producer: So how much we want to make the audience cry?
Ben Platt: yes.
Yes
Lmao. Best comment goes to you
Nice
DIAIMOP
Yes ben
Think about how lucky we are to be able to live at the same time as Ben Platt, just think about it.
Incredibly lucky
Jordyn Shook look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now
sorry
but yes we are so lucky
How lucky we are to even be in a dimension where Ben Platt exists
Lol jk
Esther Rosi-Kessel dang it I was gonna say that lmao
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now. History is happening for the greatest artist in the world
I'm 64 years old. Getting old has been difficult because of illnesses. A few months ago, I came across these words; "I will never complain about getting old again, because I know so many who didn't have that privilege." So many in my life died so young. I cry for them.
i will share with you something that really changed me when someone shared it with me:dont cry for your passed loved ones because its like you arent happy that they are on a safer and better place...ill share with you something else.they also look after you.ill tell you my experience to that truth:
10 years ago i was addicted to all kinds of drugs:heroin pills etc...one day i was thinking about my most beloved passed one:my granma...im telling you this and i cry of happiness cause i share something for helping you and others...so...i was taking a cocktail of drugs and when i fell asleep(which jsyk it was my only time in my life that i fell asleep with eyes open and complete concience of my surroundings)i saw her on her favourite suit and with her favourite huge pin which was a diamond rose...i tried to hug her but the more i was getting closer the more she was getting further away...i cried to her i love granma i miss you i wanna hug you and she responded:only when you take the straight way(and i know she wasnt refering to my sexuality cause i had told her when she was alive and she told me that she is still proud of me and that she loves me...next day they (as usual) i was about to take more drugs with my (then)relationship and some friends and remembered that...i am clean since then...that day my granma came again to my dream and she told me that she is proud of me and she hug me...i felt so much happier than i have excisted in my whole life...and so calmer...yeah i have very huge thing with my nerves...anyway...that was to tell you that as long they are alive in your heart and mind they are besides you anytime anywhere...hope that helps
@@giorgosarionas5876 awww. So glad you’re okay. I’m here if you need to talk ❤
I don't know why he isn't the same popular as to many artist like idk, Ed Sheeran or Shawn Mendes, this is just like the same shit but better.
Tatiana Cuasquer This man is literally on his way to becoming the youngest EGOT winner. Trust me he’s doing just fine
@@ayeoritset5049 i may be stupid, but what is EGOT?
julie aka ollie your not I agree it’s a weird name. It stands for Emmy Grammy Oscar Tony. He’s about to get all four awards
@@ayeoritset5049 Cool! Good for him
I mean I'd say their genre are a bit different. I believe both Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes are more on pop, while I think Ben's music has a bit of pop influence it feels more soul. Take this with a grain of salt though, since I'm no expert.
"Don't let your wonder turn into closure." Wow. That really hits hard.
Can you explain to me what you think this means? Just curious cause I'm trying to understand exactly what he meant
@@iwatchkittenvids45 To me, he's saying don't let yourself only wonder what could have been, instead, go out and fulfill your wonder. This can be anything from changing jobs, going on a trip, taking a chance on someone you like, anything that might be slightly outside your comfort zone. If you only wonder and think about the could-have-been, you become comfortable with that way of thinking and eventually, you stop thinking about taking a chance on something that could change your life, letting the opportunity pass you by. But he's saying life is short and you should act on your sense of wonder.
@@SarahRoebuck thanks for your explanation. That's a brave and powerful message
@@iwatchkittenvids45 no problem! It really is, I love when something can be so meaningful with just a few words.
@@iwatchkittenvids45 dont let the wonder of what could've been become thoughts of regret and eventually closure
Can we talk about how CUTE that cardigan is?!?!
We all are sister shook by his outfit
More important, does anyone knows *WHERE* we can find it?
Here 4 years later & I still want to wear the entire outfit.
Can we talk about how hard the "Get to fall in love with another man" line hits?
He is incredibly underrated.
And no, I'm not crying, you are...
No you are
completely underrated
I'm sobbing. What an amazing song
How'd you know?
Ben, you could've just *asked* for my wig.
Ikr smh he keeps stealing mine too
Benita Δημιουργικότητα me to sis
I just laughed soooo loud.
Hahahahahah
I wheezed
ok time to just--

lowkey I do this when I am in the car lol
Thank god im not the only one who does this
Andrius Pluto seriously though! 😭
Dear Stranger,
Today is going to be a good day, and here’s why. If you’re reading this, that means you woke up today. That in itself is an incredible gift. You are perfect in your own way. The things you may see as an “embarrassment” or a “burden” are what makes you who you are. You are an amazing, unique human being. You are loved and cherished. If no one has ever told that, then I will. I love each and every one of you. You are all capable of so many great things. Today is going to be a good day, and here’s why. You’re you, and you matter.
Sincerely, Me
And even when the dark comes crashing through, when you need a friend to carry you, when you’re broken on the ground, you will be found.
Thank you so much. I needed this.
@@YuuKanda07 :) im so glad :)
Aww, I love and appreciate you 💜
@@tav1754 so let the sun come streaming in, 'cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again, lift your head and look around, you will be found!
I was walking down 57th street towards Park
With the same old song in my same old heart
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
Tried to lean into every word he said
Then he said
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older
When you get older
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
And will I get to
Get to know myself in the place I am
Get to fall in love with another man and understand
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older
When you get older

When Ben gets older he’s going to bike the Appalachian trail, or write a book, or learn to sail
Wouldn't that be cool?

@@gloriadahlvang4797 do THIS. You can't explain what Ben do
@@marimarques7015 true you can't
I was diagnosed with a very rare cancer and I had to have aggressive treatment. It changed me in so many ways. One thing I can’t get over is figuring out my funeral and messages to my daughter. I did get better and then had to recover from everything, chemo, radiation, surgery, and so on.. This album helped me so much. It had songs that felt like a lot of things I wanted to say. I listened to it over and over again. Now every time I go back to this particular album, I feel myself getting better again. I am so excited Ben Platt is coming to Chicago so I can see it live. Dear people sitting next to me. I’m sorry you have to hear my blubbering next to you. Especially during “Older.”
I hope everything works well for you 💖
Hi how are you doing
To everyone scared of growing up:
I'm 18 now but last year when I was 17 I moved states for uni. I started to live alone and have my own life.
It's hard, incredibly hard, but it has moments where you stop and realize that now you're fully on control. It's scary. If you don't go to the supermarket you won't have food, if you don't go to class no one will be mad but guess who will have to deal with the consequences?
A quote I love: "it's ok to change (grow in this case) as long as you remember all the people you used to be" - Doctor who
You got this. You'll make many mistakes but you'll learn from them, like all of us do.
Take this as an opportunity to blossom into the person you always wanted to be. It's exciting
Proud of you for getting that education Maria! I hope the days are finding you well wherever you are!
I'm only 15 but it's hard to think I'll be 18 in 3 years and I cant even clean my own room properly, I cant even imagine a life without my family.
I know that's not the point of this video, but I really love the cardigan. It complements his eyes beautifully.
If anyone else wore that cardigan it would look ridiculous, but Ben is rocking it.
@@clemtheclementine2167 that's true
I appreciate this 😂
My question is does he know that's the Incan cross? And if so why did he choose to wear it? It's so interesting
OMG YES
“If I wait till my tomorrow comes, is the waiting all I’ve ever done?” I can’t explain how much I needed to hear this, thank you Ben platt.
Katherine Petersen as soon as I came upon this comment that part played and I needed to here it too
This specific line stood out to me the most as well… it resonates with me on a very deep level, and I‘m very grateful that it was mentioned in this beautiful song. :)
WHO ON EARTH IS THIS GUY???? HE'S WONDERFUL AND I HAD NO IDEA OF HIS WORK UNTIL I DISCOVERED AN EXTRAORDINARY VIDEO ORIENTED TO THE GAY COMMUNITY SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF HOPE AND LOVE. AND NOW I DISCOVERED THIS SENSIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL VIDEO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ONE I ALREADY MENTIONED. I DO THINK HE DESERVES MORE RECOGNIZATION TO HIS MUSIC, DON'T YOU AGREE?
“Get to fall in love with another man” I got so happy i love this man with my whole heart
It would have been so cool if some violin was incorporated into the song when that lady started playing in the video!! Great song anyway!
Yes! I so thought we would hear something in the song as she started to play...
Ikr
To be honest for some time if should have just been the violin and his vocals, That would've been sooo good
2:45
I was actually expecting that too!
I thought the same thing! Would have been beautiful!
I actually teared up a little when I got the notification
ineedtostopscreaming me too and I screamed.
my heart stopped beating when i found it in my subscription box
Your body was preparing itself
I almost screamed in a McDonald's
Omg.... I just discovered this. I wasn’t ready
I'm 15 and I haven't picked up my violin in a year but this song has inspired me to play and dance and act again. Thank you Ben
Same at 19,20,21 no matter how old you get and are it will always be scary you just learn its part of life and always take all the chances you want if it's breaking up with someone or staying with someone just take that risk I'm still learning to deal with that and never take it for granted whatever your choice is just live as you want to live
Grow as you go.
How does one attain this level of vibrato mastery!?! TEACH ME BEN!!!!!
Cameron Voxbox I KNOW RIGHT? The whole time I was literally thinking:
1: this song is amazing
2: HOW???
Drama Queenie same thought process here. I've never heard Ben before this song, and am absolutely blown away.
Cameron Voxbox DUDE REALLY?!!! I stan Dear Evan Hansen
I havent been in the loop lately!
Cameron Voxbox GET IN IT!
Yesssss I am in love. I am sobbing but in love. I’ve never been this early. I love Ben!!! And that ending...
I'm literally 13 and I don't know where my life will lead me. I started writing stories that nobody will read to me. I keep waking up with tears in my eyes because I end up staying awake late every night crying for no reason. And I know I will look back at myself and think about how much time I wasted all because I wasn't happy enough, but's just so hard to be happy when there isn't a reason.

The little black boys doing ballet? Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I mean, everything else is perfect too but I didnt see anyone mention it lol
Dorian W yeah I was looking for any comments about it
Was looking for that comment!
i thought they were doing Tai chi😂 not that theres anything wrong with ballet
@@Swahili1 Oh dang you might be right lol. I don't know maybe
Dorian W I love this part as well. Being in a black community doing stuff like that is seen as feminine and makes you seem weak, I’m glad this was something that they could overcome in order to take part in their passion
That vibrato is other worldly
I’ve loved this ever since it came out as I’ve been a fan of Ben’s for years. And I’d just like to say thank you to this song for truly helping me so much.
My health started going downhill when I was 10, and now 6 years later I’m severely ill and disabled. I’ve lost all of my teenage years and I’m likely to not be here much longer. When I was 14 I was very depressed about my situation and was waiting for it to improve because I thought that was the only way for me to be happy. Then I heard this song and realised that that outlook would only bring along more pain and hurt, since I’m incurable.
So I decided to make the most of the present and enjoy what little I have left. And whilst being bedbound and living in hospital, I taught myself all my GCSE’s without the help of teachers and achieved A*’s, I set up my own online charity to help others, I’ve read hundreds of books, and I’m also now fluent in 4 languages. So now I know if I do end up losing the fight that my short life hasn’t been a waste and I won’t be able to regret anything. Ive defied everyone’s expectations of what is possible for me to do and I intend to carry on :)
This was the most inspirational comment I've ever read. Thank you for sharing this with me and all the others. It's amazing what you did. It's amazing how strong you are. I wish you only the best ❤
Friend. Are you still with us?
You are no alone. There are 90- no 91 people now rooting for you!
if you're still here, I appreciate you and your life even though I never met you. you're an inspiration to many and im so glad you've been given the chance to be on Earth with us even if it's for a shorter amount of time

Also, if you’re reading this and you’re watching this video because you’re hurting: you’ll be okay. life really, really sucks sometimes. music helps us find hope in relating. give things time, give yourself a break, and try to get out of the rut. “I always get to where I’m going by walking away from where I have been”
You can do this. I have so much love for you! If you need to chat, my instagram is @MckenzieLiberty

Lady, thank you so much for your words.
May God always bless you with happiness 💙
You are an amazing person. Thank you. (P.S. your comment has me almost crying)
Thank you for this comment. The world needs more people like you.
can we please have a music video for every song on the album? ❤😍😅
fanboy I NEED MORE VIDEOS
YES PLEASE... these videos are so cute and sentimental and I can just FEEL all the emotions and I want to cry... I just can't ok...? I NEED MORE
Yes, please!
fanboy yeah this is the best album in history
at LEAST share your address because thats my favourite one
“If I wait till my tomorrow comes is the waiting all I’ve ever done” that hits hard
I just keep coming back here! We are so LUCKY TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW!!!
The woman's story hit me hard. Before my grandma died I always played the piano with her and after she passed I couldn't bring myself to ever play because of the memories And the reminder she was no longer here. The pain would hurt when I'd see the piano of hers I grew up with, but this past year I realized playing was a way that made me feel like she was here. I could feel the passion I once felt,and tho there was still the pain of missing her....it was bittersweet because it was something I know she'd want me to continue
Strawberry Kiss Cosplay I just finished watching clips of something sad. And this. It’s beautiful and honestly I kinda understand
This is so sweet..... icould barely read it my eyes were so teary
💪🏻
You Lie In April anyone?
Omg this made my cry. Alot.
the ad before this: “INJURED?”
me: yES MY FEELINGS ARE SPILLING EVERYWHERE
😁😁😂😂😂😂
Dear Reader,
Most probably, I dont know you and you don't know me either. Probably, we're not living in the same country. Probably, we're not speaking the same language. Probably, you're older than me or I'm older than you or maybe we both belong on the same generation.
But here's something that connects us, we both have a great taste of music.
Thanks for being here. I love you and keep safe always. God bless ❤️
i'm probably that gray hair man he passed .... grateful for much and i do wish time would slow down a bit. grateful this song is now a memory 🙂❤
"Life is gonna find you when its supposed to."
As someone who has some self identity issues and social anxiety issues
This is very comforting
Thanks, Ben for existing,
Sincerely me
*Edit: Thank you so much for all of the likes and comments, it's nice to know I'm not the only one going through what I'm going through. I guess the lyrics aren't the only comforting thing about this video. Thanks a bunch,.... again.
Ah! Not only was this a comment I could relate to. You made it even greater with that musical reference. 😂 Thanks!
I read your comment and started to tear up
My sisters hot
What the hell?
My bad
Also I agree with you, he really comforts me with the lyrics in his music, this is why he’s my favorite (psst don’t tell mike faist or George Salazar)
The whole comment, including the ending, was just so great
Why did this comment make me cry?!?!?!
the two old men finally being able to find the courage to be together after so many years of society telling them they're wrong :( that's just so incredibly sweet and touching. it not only shows that love prevails, but everyone is deserving of love as well, even if it takes them awhile to find it💕💕
megan d how is right?
I’m not sure what you mean? They were old friends catching up? Why would society tell them that was wrong?
eurouc his scene of calling the guy is during the part of "get to fall in love with another man". this video depicts overcoming things in your life (mainly fear and connections with people). also, they're both very nicely dressed, one of them fixes his hair a lot, and they make loving eye contact. they look at each other instead of just walking right up to each other and saying "how you doing?". there's a deeper love in their body language. also, it looks like one of the guys reached out to him so they could finally be together, in a hand written letter with a photo of them when they were young. that's really romantic. that's why they're most definitely gay and not just friends. they grew up and fell in love during a time when that was a huge no no (likely the 50s or 60s). knowing ben is also gay, it's very likely he incorporated the element of an old gay couple rather than two old friends
megan d thank you for describing this, I see it so much in people and no one else seems to see when two people have some sort of romantic connection and it’s so horribly obvious in their eyes and body language ????
Ben Platt... matchmaker.
When I was young I never wished I was older than at that moment…. I think I intuitively knew that childhood was short and adulthood would be long and hard. So I never wished to be older. I have discovered I was right. I JUST NOW discovered BenPlatt, and I’m 73. Still young at heart.
My brother just died today
I’d say I haven’t been through much and that my life isn’t that hard but as I say that I always think of the nights where I’ve cried myself to sleep
Yes people die and I understand that but it’s harder knowing that if I switched spots with him that I’d be happy and so would he
I’m adding this part 10 months later thank you for the support it’s been hard and tbh I haven’t exactly had the time to deal with it and accept it yet I still have dreams that feel so real that when I wake up I run to his room thinking we’re still playing but then there’s nothing and I relive the pain again
I am so sorry!!😔😔😔
I'm so sorry
I'm sorry 😞
Hey you'll feel better some day. I'm sure there are lots of things for you still to do on this earth.
My sis died in January. She was my role model. It doesn't get easier, but at least you have the comfort of having known him? That's how I like to think about it.
Just now I was listening to Ease my Mind on Spotify
His voice and music helps me relax and focus on my work, Thanks Ben
Thanks for this song, needed it. You got me crying, i don’t want to regret anything
Pink fluffly unicorns Dancing on rainbows Same, by the end I was (and am) crying
Ben
B- beautiful singing
E- extraordinary vocals
N- HOW CAN THIS MAN BE SO TALENTED IM SORRY THIS IS INCREDIBLE AND EVERY SINGLE SONG HE HAD EVER MADE AND EVERY SON HE HAS EVER SUNG!!!!!!
n actually stands for "nice cardigan"
sunny boy damn you beat me to the punch
Preach to the choir!
Ben platt isn’t going to see this, but I wish for him to know that his music has pulled me from a lot of bad times. So thank you so much!
Ben has an uncanny ability to make me ugly cry. I thought it was just Evan Hansen but....no it's just Ben lol
Anyone else have a strong desire to hug someone after listening to this?
No?
Okay
I felt that. Felt it. Virtual hug coming your way!!
@@D-Dollie yayyyyyyy *snuggles back*
Bit late, but can I join?
Here's a hug from South America
I wanna hug Ben
Ben Platt needs to have more recognition, his voice is insaneeeee
Why am I crying 3 years later to this gem
Me niego a creer que soy el único hispanohablante que le encanta la música de Ben Platt.
I'm a simple man. I see Ben Platt I click
I have one thing to say and it is YEEEEESSSSS PLEASE
Another thing: YES MY SON

Same
Director: do you want people to sob while listening to this or to you want them to be happy?
Ben: yes
When you are younger, you’ll wish you’re older. Then when you’re older, you’ll wish for time to turn around
😂😭 just as much I want to cry I also wanna laugh when I read this hahahaha
I don't know who wrote that line but it's brilliantly said.
This is so true it hurts
Its so true Im disliking this comment because it hurts
Unless you truly decide to give your all and live your life 😏😅
"Don't let your wonder turn into closure" *sobs uncontrollably*
Harley Andersen 😭. That definitely hits you
Danke UwU
It is going to be ok
I would wish this was the type of stuff they played on the radio, but if it was I'd have to pull over every time because I can't see through the tears
My favorite part of the video is the ending. The look on their faces, so sweet, so touching.
This is my favorite song on the album!!! Ahhhh! Ben this is beautiful! ❤️
Everything about this is so good it’s practically criminal.
He’s like a master in the game. And he’s only getting started.
Dude, not fair!
I love that it’s little boys doing ballet and not little girls.
Enjoy every moment every second
Every minute..every event ...because before you know it,it will be just a memory.
Me: Why is this in my recommended?
WAAIIIIT, I recognize this voice.
*HUHHHH*
*I’M WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW!!!!*

🎶BACK AT ME🎶
Cachas Marie Carrion NOOOO
Cachas Marie Carrion jk...kind of
YAAAAAAAAAAAAS dear even Hansen is so amazing!!!!
(Here's the lyrics)
I was walking down 57th street towards Park With the same old song in my same old heart Making plans
I'm gonna do when I get older Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head Tried to lean into every word
he said Then he said When you are younger You'll wish you're older Then when you're older You'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older When you get older
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
And will I get to
Get to know myself in the place I am
Get to fall in love with another man and understand
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older
When you get older
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you get older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older
When you get older
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Cats Draw _ Comics thank you!!
THANK YOU! Sang every verse twice!
This reminds me of the message behind Unus Annus. Memento Morí 🖤🤍
Memento morì
Memento Mori
Momento Mori! There’s actually a super good AMV with this song for Unus Annus, it’s how I found this song.
@Nikko Russell Where can I find it??
@Nikko Russell It does, thank you! You were right, it’s fantastic!
Is he an angel? Damn right he is!
*gets notification*
oooooo wonder wha-
*Older by Ben Platt Music Video*
oh nO-
*instantly starts sobbing*
Who thinks that this album is GOLD? 🙌🏼
Since the day the song came out, my life changed.
Like dude. This man is absolutely amazing. Almost every song he sings I tear up and cry. It's not everyday I find a voice that can affect me this greatly. This dude is an absolute angel sent from heaven. 😤👌
Please listen to it if you forgot about it. I’m your reminder
Loved Ben in "The Politician". He has an incredible voice that makes my heart melt like butter. Awesome singer!!
As a trans man, I just got out of a relationship with a man I was deeply in love with. He fell out of love with me and told me straight up because he didn’t want to lead me on. He didn’t want to try over or start again. After being childish and letting that sadness tarnish how I saw him, I’m sure he doesn’t want anything to do with me. I have dreams at night that he wants things to be okay, that we continue our lives and be content. But it’s never gonna happen, so now I deleted all my connections with him, and am starting to fix myself and put myself to go and love someone again.
I love your music. I listened to the love songs of this song series when we were together, and now that we’re apart I listen to this,,,, and I’m just, so glad someone gets it. And it helps me remember to think of the future, not the past. I hope you see this Ben, not to say thanks like everyone else, not to ask if you’re okay, but just to let you know I’m thankful you set this message out. In this format. This is why people should make music. When you are out of that motivation, I hope you remember shit like this helps guys who have no sad songs to turn to that isn’t just about “being sad”. It helps people process and feel.
I hope you have a great day.
Also yes it’s 12:00 am, yes I am eating popcorn I got from my mall job.
No I’m not crying ur crying what
If you ever need to talk please ask for my Instagram or snap because oh my gosh I feel you, in the words of what's her name from dear Evan Hansen "in times like these we could all use a friend"
Emmett Creel Aaaayyyyyeeee! Trans Pride. Makes me proud to see another man who loves men. Twenty years ago, even other trans men were creepy towards those of us who marry other men. This made me PROUD as heck to see how much better, fuller, bigger, and more OPEN the world is for trans men who aren’t straight. I hope you find true love with a partner who deserves you, cherishes you, and celebrates your transness for decades and decades, the way my husband does.
Hey man, I'm really sorry you went through that, and I appreciate that you shared this. Someone falling out of love with you can be extremely painful. I'm glad Ben's music helped you, and I agree, it's a really good way to process what you're feeling.
Hey, I don't know you, I'm french so I don't really know how I can express myself but I'm a trans man too, and I wanted to say : I love you ❤️
Stupid question since you actively chose to stay a man but which do you find more annoying, expectations placed on men or women
Who would have thought that a PseudoExtra in Pitch Perfect who got a larger role in Pitch Perfect 2 would then be breaking our hearts with a broken arm and having me cry my eyes out more than a year after he released one of the best songs I have ever listened to. We Love You Ben Platt
I just knew BEN PLATT today. thank u for your great and amazing music. COUNT ME IN as your fan :)
I just love how this is him letting go. We can see the progression on the videos, falling in love, living life with him, stating to fall apart, being two strangers. This is him wanting to start over. He is older, yes, but so much more himself than before. Or at least is my impression. Love ya Ben, your songs make my day.
Wait, what? Who? When? How? Holy heck, this is a nice surprise! I’m so excited to watch!
My 1 year old loves this song. Every time I see this video though it reminds me of the "Pass it On" public service announcements from the early 2000's.
Ben is such a treasure. We must protect him at all costs.
OH MY GOD MY DAY JUST GOT SO MUCH BETTER
I didn’t ask for my wig to be snatched but I’m not complaining.
THIS VOCAL is one of his best yet....can't hear it enough.
3:12 his tongue! I love when he does that. It makes me so happy and I can't help but smile every time I spot it.
BEN PLATT I LOVE YOU MAN I DROP EVERYTHING FOR YOU
"Will I get to know myself in the place I am?"
I really needed that, Ben.
The last year had me really struggling. Like, it was bad.
I thought I was never going to be okay with where I was in life, but, I'm starting to think I can.
Hey, youve got this
Yeah, you definitely can:)
I'm in a really tough spot myself and this comment and the replies gave me so much hope, I can't even begin to explain it. Thank you.
Don't worry. You’re not only one listening to this masterpiece in 10/2021
:} 💖✨
My dad and I were on a 2-hour car ride when this song played on the radio. My dad and I grew apart, so our hearts were very distant. There are very little things i know we have in common---and fortunately, one of them is music. The ride was so quiet until this song strucked the silence. He asked me if i know the song, i didnt, so i record it using my phone instead to find it later. Months had pass and it was only now when i had the time to search the lyrics and it brought me to this masterpiece! No regrets! I'm going to share it with my dad and hopefully, we'll grew closer----or at least, he'll love the music as much as i love it.
Crisselle Heart so you haven’t heard of Dear Evan Hansen? Or The Politician? Definitely recommend looking those up. Ben Platt is crazy good
@@fabfox5677 dear evan hansen was recommended to me by a friend weeks back. I didnt notice that it was the same artist. Wow. So, he really is something else.
guys. GUYS. I lost my inhaler. Can't breathe. Oh god. Too amazing
YOUR MUSIC MAKES MY LIFE BETTER THANK YOU SO MUCH
Beautiful all around ❤
Who else gets the Dear Evan Hansen trailer before the song and watches the whole thing.
his fast vibrato speaks of so much vulnerability
I just want to hug him every time
