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.

I wanted to break up with my boyfriend few times before, but he never want to allow me. Until last november he finally agreed, the failure of my decision happened when he found a way reach me. He never left afterwards. He's like a pimple you can't get rid off easily. But, he made me understand how much he cared for me with his efforts and how he accepts me regardless of my immaturity and insecurities. I understood how badly he wanted me to be with him. (Obsession at it's best) I realize that i could improve myself beside him, that I can depend on him when times I just feel helpless. He did so many things to have me, and did so many things to have me again. I'm grateful I have him with me. (Thankfully he's not the maniac type of obsessed man.)

@Dawniebug I guess it's practicing with the proper techniques and instruction. I've been singing in front of people for the last 11 years. It's all been based on what I hear and think I need to do from what I see others do, but my voice is never crisp or clean sounding. I think I need proper training for that on top of practice.

Lyrics ; You say there's so much you don't know You need to go and find yourself You say you'd rather be alone 'Cause you think you won't find it tied to someone else Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you I don't think you have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go You won't be the only one I am unfinished, I've got so much left to learn I don't know how this river runs But I'd like the company through every twist and turn Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you You don't ever have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go I don't know who we'll become I can't promise it's not written in the stars But I believe that when it's done We're gonna see that it was better That we grew up together Tell me you don't wanna leave 'Cause if change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow We'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go

Ben has said this wasn't written because someone broke up with him. He actually wrote this from the perspective of the person he separated with. He was the one who needed space. That's the power of acting, the empathy of seeing the other side. It's truly powerful and moving. Thank you Ben for this beautiful song!

I wonder if he's crying because he doesn't mean this song to be benefiting from their sadness, or using their heartbreak for profitable inspiration; he means this as a way of empathy and understanding the person. In the end: the song is still making him money; and I think the double edged sword is horribly painful to bear, because he means well, and is worried after breaking up with them, this song will come off wrong to the person it's meant for.

I love how people interpret this song differently. Some people see it as a breakup song for two people who love each other and just are not right for each other. While others see this song as a tribute to partners growing together through challenges. Yes, I know he wrote it about a relationship he had where he knew they just weren’t right for each other. But that’s the beauty of music. Interpretation!
@TheStarss785

So my interpretation is, I made this new friend and I didn't think twice about it he doesn't want to date anyone n just be friends. Then after spending time with him he made me notice that I wasnt just falling for his personality but i was falling for him. (Of course never confessing this to him but I'm sure he knew by the way I simply held his hand or the way my eyes looked at him So Deeply.) So I kept asking myself why has God brought this person into my life and why do I hold him so closely to me? He's always kept people at a far distance cuz he says he wants to leave behind the smallest print of damage (as a grenade he referenced himself) After a while he told me his sercret. That he was dying from cancer n the doctors told him he be lucky to live 3-6 months. It took everything in me not to fall to my knees in front of him n not cry, but I knew I had to be strong standing there hearing this, at the same time I never felt my heart be torn apart in this new different way. All I wanted was his company n the way he's shaping me to be the man I should be n always wanted to be. So as I'm growing n learning from him I decided to spend every second that I can have with him as a gift. While we all have a soulmate or soulmates in this world we never know how much time we have to spend with that person, So I'm gonna enjoy it n bring as much happiness into his world bcuz he has brought so much love into my heart. PS: he's still alive n still going from the time expectancy the doctors gave him.

I don't know if you've ever loved someone who struggles with the demons of manic depression but there is a detaching they do when they hit their lows- a pushing away as they wrestle with all of the worst solutions to a battle they feel like they never win. The first time I heard this song, it had me in a ball on the floor. I wanted to call my daughter, immediately, and play it for her. This is what I feel every time she goes to that dark place. I get that this was written from the perspective of two people in a romantic relationship but I will never see it as anything but a mother begging her daughter to just keep holding on. That she doesn't have to go to the dark places alone.

The most beautiful thing anyone can ever do is accept your flaws, your insecurities and help you overcome them. The most beautiful kind of love is the one that is not perfect, but the one that helps you grow as you go. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find someone like that. A love like that is so rare, it's a privilege. So if you have someone in your life who accepts you in your darkest moments, stays by your side and helps you grow, please don't let them go.

This song/video... I literally broke down crying the first time; watching the deep emotion in Ben's face. Watching the dancers' tension, then tenderness, then conflict. It's overwhelming. There really should be 2 separate videos, 1 dedicated to each performance. I keep thinking what I'm missing when the scene changes from Ben to the dancers, and then back. It's both too much... and not enough. Maybe that's why I keep coming back every few days trying to drink it all in.

My boyfriend and I broke up yesterday. The feelings I felt in me was indescribable. I have never felt so much pain from losing a partner. He was so much more than a boyfriend to me, but he really is my best friend. I know I will be okay and be able to heal from this, but I will always miss this best friend of mine. This song hits home because I wish I can always be the one that can be by his side as we grow. I hope everyone that is/will be listening to this song will find peace knowing that things will be okay. Loving someone is also learning how to let them go even when you do not want to because you want them to be so so so happy with someone even that might not be you.

And I had no clue that there was anything wrong. She says that I've done nothing wrong and was perfect its just her changing. Its hard because she is the love of my life and we have a son together and ive raise her other son since he was 3. I want her to be happy so I told her to go. But I don't want to lose her as a friend and as a mother to our boys and it hurts everyday knowing its not the same as it was. I really wish we could grow together. But hopefully it gets. Easier as it goes. But this song and these comments really hit home.

I don't like to listen to this song in public, or share it with friends. because I can't bring myself to explain it. I've attached pieces of my past to the lyrics and I use the melody to go back in time-- when I want to remind myself of the pain and the strength and the growth it took to get here. That grief is a treasure, it's a lesson [but this song is so fucking beautiful it makes me want to cry] so idk maybe this is just me saying thank you to Ben Platt for creating this. there are people like me who hold your words very very close to their hearts and that's got to stand for something. x

Me and my wife grew up together and have known each other since we were 5. We were friends then enemies, lovers, then parents. We now have a baby boy and have grown to learn so much from each other and about each other. Love is not agreement but acceptance and appreciation. This song speaks so much to us that I learned it and sang it for my 9 month pregnant wife who I still love with all my heart from 20 years ago :)

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and felt broken. This song kept me from breaking up with my boyfriend. It took the words he had been trying to tell me for so long and put it in a song. After hearing this song, I let him love me just where I was. We grew together. We’re getting married in December :) Edit: Thank you all for the kind words! We decided last night that this HAS to be the song we dance to for our first dance. No other song is as meaningful!

You deserve to feel safe, to express your emotions, and to love deeply. Do not settle. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and fight for yourself!! Loving someone is difficult but letting someone love you is so terrifying. But you deserve it. Fight for it

I first discovered this song 2 years ago ( I was in my last year of middle school ) and didn't really think too much of it. Last month I rediscovered this and I am now in my sophomore year of high school. This song really hits home because I have been having trouble maintaining my relationship with my closest and longest friend. We don't have to go through this alone to really find ourselves. We agreed to finish high school together and even though we run in very different social circles, we always come back to each other at the end of the day. I don't think I rediscovered this by accident, but I am really glad and happy I did. It reminded me of how strong our bond is and that this is only a bump on the road ahead of us.✨

This song was dropped at the peak of my heartbreak. I was crying when I first heard it. Every lyrics of this song felt raw, I felt it in evey fiber of my being. I listened to the song everyday until I finally over crying. I can say that this song was a big part of my healing. Thank you Ben!

This seems to come directly after "Ease My Mind" in the longer narrative Ben Platt is telling across the videos for this album. (He's wearing the same clothes at the end of "Ease My Mind" as he is in this video.) In the previous video, Ben's boyfriend has just left him, for no given reason, and this song seems to be the explanation -- the boyfriend, a photographer, thought he needed to grow on his own. Ben's face reflects his own internal monologue, because the song is his plea for his boyfriend to stay. He is also represented by the woman dancer, constantly and tenaciously seeking the male dancer who is both with her and trying to get away from her, and who disappears more and more frequently before vanishing completely, while at the same time Ben himself starts tearing up around 4.01 and has a tear streak on his face by 4.08. The female dancer runs through the building and looks into the doorway where Ben is singing, and he looks at the doorway. He sees her and recognises her as the expression of his own longing, and when we look back at the doorway, she is gone, a figment of his imagination. Ben's face melts into a tiny, sad, tender smile, because he's looking at his own lost hope.

Yes! And Bad Habit's definitely a third plate in the narrative although how it is sewn in--either as prologue or coming after GAWG--is still unclear to me. If the story follows the sequence in which the videos were released (it most probably does), it makes it all the more crushing to go from desperately clawing your way out of an addiction to a love lost, to moments of sweet remembering, to softly pleading for an alternative (growing together). We are taken to walk with Ben in his most intimate journey of heartbreak and at the same time witness the reflection of our own pains unfolding in these vignettes.

Everything about his voice is either calming for me or makes me wanna cry. I love his voice and music. He honestly could make a song about rocks and I'd cry. It made me feel 1000x better at the end knowing he was crying too. So I wasn't the only one. I love Ben Platt so much, he's just amazing.

I've never heard a song until now that makes me cry. This is painfully sweet. The lyrics are incredibly accepting, forgiving, and loving. Then you have Ben's tone that anchors it into an overwhelmingly bittersweet melody. It goes straight to the heart leaving you vulnerable, leaving you open, but ready, to take on all the challenges of being in a relationship. If I'd ever get married, I want this to be the song that flows thru the reception. It's beautiful. 🥲

This reminds me so much of my boy bestfriend whom I risked the friendship with to continue as lovers. Although he loved me first, in the end it was me asking him to stay. Two days before our 21st month together, he told me that he wanted to focus on himself first, that we're young and he wanted to do things without thinking about hurting anyone with anything he does. He wanted to improve himself without my help, without my support. That he forgot who he was and changed, felt incomplete. He told me he loved me too much that he forgot to love himself. Now, we've decided to stay friends. I chose to give him what he wanted even though it was nowhere near what I want. I wanted to be selfish, I wanted him for me, I wanted him to stay and grow with me. But I chose to let go cause it's for his happiness :) But the thought of being his world once, and now I'm only a part of it makes my heart ache a lot. I know you won't see this. But I just want you to know that I love you. And I'm sorry if I'm not the right person who makes you love yourself even more day by day. You ARE the best thing that has ever happened to me. I may not be with you as you grow for you chose to grow alone, but I promise to be here for you and watch you become the best version of yourself. Maybe God has different plans. It was a great rollercoaster ride with you, my love. Never lose yourself again. Maybe someday, we'll be together for the second time. And by then, we'll be ready to grow together and have loved ourselves more than anyone else.

Literally, yes! A guy I was getting to know was getting really close to me. Things felt like they were taking a serious turn. I don't let people in easy and he knew that... I started pulling away from him. Before I could really do that though, he sent this to me early one January morning. It was the first thing I heard after waking and I literally got chills, cried, and let go of so much emotion. I have felt so much lighter since that day. I decided to give it a shot. Give him a shot. Best decision I've ever made. We've been together since then and I pray it never ends. I mean I don't know if we're forever, things can change, but he's opened my heart in so many ways. I'll always be grateful to him, and to Ben for this beautiful and touching song. I still get goosebumps when I listen to this, thinking back to that morning.

Even our favorite people, who we think have their lives all put together, are human. broken. Imperfect. Damaged. They are beautiful, yes. But they are broken. Just like you and me. That's what keeps them human. Anyone who says that they have their life together is a liar, by saying that, they are claiming to be perfect. NOBODY is perfect. If you could switch lives with anybody in the world who you think have their lives together, you would be both disappointed, and you would change your world view. The way people perceive things changes everything. One woman might hate men because as a child she was abused by one, perspective. My dog, for instance was abused by her former master, a man. She hated every man in my family until 3 years after we got her. during those 3 years though, a FedX Man came to drop off a package, I opened the door and she ran out and bit the mans hand. Luckily, I'm a nurse, and this was when COVID-19 Wasn't a real threat yet. I managed to help the man and only come off with a warning and fine. Now, she's the sweetest dog anyone could ask for. I cried watching this video because I had just recently went through a divorce. I will always be a theater kid at heart.
