This is so professional!! It sounds almost exactly like the 2006 Broadway version (my favorite version).

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Zachary Walker It is based on those orchestrations! So glad you like! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@lucasbocalon7993]

This is amazing! I love how there's a crescendo throughout the whole song, making it more interesting even for the singer to perform. Great job!

[@EJMInstrumentals]

It definitely creates a better musical experience, I agree!

[@mitchclark1532]

Yes! The ending is super powerful.

[@samanthareed6128]

A female version of this would be awesome! I love this song and my voice is pretty high so it’d be cool in a higher key ☺️

[@tylerbmiranda]

samantha reed there’s gonna be one! The revival on broadway has a female Bobby! « Bobbie »

[@EJMInstrumentals]

I'd love to do a female key, but admittedly, I'm not the best at transposing, which is why I usually upload most songs in their original or licensed keys. Thanks for watching!

[@la_vonnedesigns_234]

There’s a karaoke version on KZbin that’s in Bb major. I have a higher voice and it’s really good for female voices

[@joshoboy_3535]

We love the subtle flex 😂

[@chawko4140]

Hey look at that

[@gonzalopendolema4474]

THANKS A LOT. I suddenly found your video, when I was looking for a song to use in my casting to enter a school of musical theatre here in Spain. And this definitely has made my life much easier. Thank you.

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Gonzalo Pendolema I’m so glad my video could help you!

[@jon.health]

This is an amazing, perfectly timed version of one of the most beautiful songs ever written - thank you -

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Hi Jonathan, I'm glad you found it works for you!

[@alexanderbetka4660]

Seriously, this arrangement has SUCH a nice touch of artistry. I had a big beautiful solo fantasy Broadway moment in my car singing along to this. My inner child thanks you.

[@jameswhitney4659]

Thank you so much

[@KatieTantrum]

Would LOVE female version!!! 😍

[@notameliethemusical]

YES FEMALE KEY PLEASE! This is really great!!

[@EJMInstrumentals]

[@princessbanana-hammock5589]

thank you

[@FrazerMundy]

Just a thought, "Getting Married today" both male and female pitches. That would be some challenging but great work!😊

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Hmmmmm. Now that's a thought!

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Three years later......this might be a reality soon....Look out for Sondheim Month coming in March this year! All Sondheim! All March!

[@prairiehatchard-mcgill3736]

yes yes please female version!

[@user-ju3eq7tv5c]

2:50 starts!

[@calebefaria]

Thank you! just recorded a cover and credited you :)

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Hi Calebe - I'm just coming back to my channel after a year of being gone, so I'm sorry for the late reply! I will take a listen, thank you so much for the support!

[@miyaatherton8326]

Hey I love your instrumentals, is it possible for me to ask if you'd be able to do "ex-wives" from Six? Me and a group of friends are planning on doing a cover of it and they're aren't any good covers anywhere (at least without singing). I'm sorry of I'm overstepping but you're work is amazing!

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Miya Atherton Hi Miya! I’m actually taking a break from creating tracks for a bit while Sondheim Month is going on. If it’s a track you need fast, I’m not sure I can help, I’m sorry! I have lots of other cool projects coming out soon, so stay tuned for those!

[@baklaQas]

What key is this in please? Thanks.

[@sophieskellington4330]

Female version please!!!!

[@CoryClintronic]

i feel like it should be noted that this is in C#/Db whereas the original is in D major

[@coltonpratt3787]

Yeah this is huge. I was practicing for an audition with this track only to realize it is not in the standard key. Through me off quite a bit because I'm a muscle memory kind of singer.

Being alive - Vertaling NL Iemand komt iets te dichtbij Iemand raakt je hart te vaak Iemand ligt weer op je plek En steelt weer je slaap Iemand vraagt jou iets te veel Iemand kent jou iets te goed Iemand zet jouw hoofd op scherp Wanneer de hel groeit Iemand eist net te veel plaats Iemand wiens hart je bedaart Iemand vraagt of je wat deelt Vindt dat je te vaak Weer dicht slaat, stil schreeuwt Iemand heeft jou te veel lief Iemand eist jou om te gaan Iemand dwingt jou aan haar zij Je bent altijd daar Zo angstig als zij Voor ‘t voelt of je leeft Voelt of je leeft Voelt of je leeft Voelt of je leeft Iemand kom iets te dichtbij Iemand raak mijn hart te vaak Iemand lig weer op mijn plek En steel weer mijn slaap En zorg dat ik zeg: Het voelt of ik leef Voelt of ik leef Iemand vraag mij iets te veel Iemand ken mij iets te goed Iemand zet mijn hoofd op scherp Wanneer de hel groeit En geef mij ook het Gevoel dat ik leef Maak dat ik leef Maak dat ik leef Maak mij verward Spot met mijn lach Speel met mijn hart Wijzig mijn dag Maar alleen Is alleen Niet ‘ik leef’ Iemand heb mij te veel lief Iemand laat mij voor je gaan Iemand dwing mij aan je zij Ik ben altijd daar Zo angstig als jij Zodat jij doorleeft ‘t Voelt of ik leef Voelt of ik leef Voelt of ik leef

[@melaniegoingo4918]

YeS, a female version please

[@lazzz1013]

Adam Driver version is the best!

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Love Adam Driver!

[@samuelolivar2347]

Thank you for uploading this Ethan. I would like to let you know that I uploaded a cover version of this song and used this orchestration. The link is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5OTmYaVab5nqLM I credited this page as well as the orchestration of Jonathan Tunick and Simon Hale. This page has been really helpful and I just simply want to thank you for uploading this. :)

[@antoniogordillo2040]

The lyrics aren't my favorite. I'd prefer "for being alive" and not "is being alive" Is that a typo or just a different version? Thank you

[@tjmorrison2009]

Technically it's not actually supposed to be there

[@EJMInstrumentals]

These are actually the lyrics that come in the sheet music anthology versions. In the actual show, there's dialogue in those parts.

[@murilobandeirapistoni8469]

ALGUÉM PRA TE ACOLHER ALGUÉM PRA TE MACHUCAR ALGUÉM PRA TE ABORRECER SEU SONO TIRAR ALGUÉM PRA TE COMPLETAR ALGUÉM PRA TE ENTENDER ALGUÉM PRA TE PROVOCAR E UM INFERNO FAZER ALGUÉM QUE QUER AO REDOR ALGUÉM QUE QUER RESGUARDAR ALGUÉM QUE QUEIRA OU NÃO VAI COMPARTILHAR APREÇO, AFEIÇÃO... ALGUÉM PRA DAR TANTO AMOR ALGUÉM PRA TE CONSERTAR ALGUÉM PRA TE SURPREENDER VAI SEMPRE ESTAR LÁ, TAMBÉM VAI TEMER A VIDA PASSAR VIDA PASSAR, VIDA PASSAR, VIDA PASSAR QUEM PODE ME ACOLHER QUEM PODE ME MACHUCAR QUEM PODE ME ABORRECER MEU SONO TIRAR FAZENDO VALER A VIDA PASSAR, VIDA PASSAR QUEM PODE ME COMPLETAR QUEM PODE ME ENTENDER QUEM PODE ME PROVOCAR E UM INFERNO FAZER E ME APOIAR PRA VIDA PASSAR SINTO PASSAR, SINTO PASSAR SINTO FUGIR, PERCO A RAZÃO PRA GARANTIR NÃO SER EM VÃO NÃO PERDER, ME PERDER, VER PASSAR QUEM PODE DAR TANTO AMOR QUEM PODE ME CONSERTAR QUEM PODE ME SURPREENDER VOU SEMPRE ESTAR LÁ TAMBÉM VOU TEMER QUE NÃO VÁ BASTAR VIDA PASSAR, VIDA PASSAR, VIDA PASSAR
