THIS TRACK IS A LIFE SAVER!!! I'm auditioning for a play tomorrow and I really needed to practice with a piano track, thank you so much!!!

[@inesschw05]

[@rosexfletcher]

Ines And Stuff it didn’t work out 😢

[@user-fk8tc9nj2h]

All I need is some time to think--- Cuz the boat is about to sink--- Can't erase what I wrote in ink--- Tell me how can I change the story? All the words that I can't take back. . . . Like a train coming off the tracks. . . . All the rails and the bolts all crack--- I got to find a way to----STOP IT! STOP IT! JUST LET ME OOUTTTTT

[@maddyb413]

This video actually says the rails and my bones all crack, not the rails and the bolts. This is something I have been wondering about for a while. Everything has different answers. I’m not sure if you are right or the video is right, but just thought I’d point it out.

[@samwood917]

@@maddyb413 It's bolts. Listen to the Broadway version and you can hear it.

[@IridescentHarmony]

@@maddyb413 The video is correct on that part. :)

[HEIDI:] So you found a place where the grass is greener And you jumped the fence to the other side Is it good? Are they giving you a world I could never provide? Well I hope you're proud of your big decision Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before And you say what you need to say So that you get to walk away It would kill you to have to stay trapped When you've got something new Well I'm sorry you had it rough And I'm sorry I'm not enough Thank God they rescued you So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you, you Got a taste of a life so perfect So you did what you had to do Good for you Good for you [ALANA:] Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry? Do you even care that you might be wrong? Was it fun? Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along [JARED:] And you say what you need to say And you play who you need to play And if somebody's in your way Crush them and leave them behind [JARED & ALANA:] Well I guess if I'm not of use Go ahead, you can cut me loose Go ahead now, I won't mind [HEIDI:] I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go Is that good for you? Would that be good for you, you, you? [HEIDI & ALANA:] I'll just sit back while you run the show Is that good for you? Would that be good for you, you, you? [HEIDI, ALANA, & JARED:] I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go Is that good for you? Would that be good for you you, you? [EVAN:] All I need is some time to think But the boat is about to sink Can't erase what I wrote and link Tell me how could you change the story? [HEIDI, ALANA, & JARED:] I'll just sit back while you run the show Is that good for you? Good for you? [EVAN:] All the words that I can't take back Like a train coming off the track 'Cause the rails and my bones all crack I've got to find a way to Stop it, stop it! Just let me off! [ALANA, JARED, & HEIDI:] So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you, you Got a taste of a life so perfect Now you say that you're someone new Good for you Good for you Good for you Good for you So you got what you always wanted

ilovebakedpotatoes thanks!

[@megandempsey828]

ilovebakedpotatoes it's in the video ??

[@loserchips1112]

Megan Dempsey sometimes for people they like to see all the lyrics instead of waiting

[@melissareedy7142]

Correction: Yours says "all I need is some time to think but the boat is about to sink can't erase what I wrote and Link tell me how could you change the story" When it really says " all I need is some time to think but the boat is about to sink can't erase what I wrote in ink tell me how can you change the story"

[@matotry]

Um the lyrics are a bit messed up.... I was practicing singing this song and noticed it. It's "I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go, 2:01" first before "I'll just sit back while you run the show. 2:04" it just needs reversed. It's okay I've mixed up lyrics before too, just letting you know.

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

Thanks for point it out. I'm sure people will manage okay. :-)

[@phoenixacxf]

No actually it is correct

[@athenac7615]

Joseph Struminsky nope its incorrect

[@kayleaparks6829]

This is one of my favorites songs form Dear Evan Hansen. Is it just me or does the track have a faster tempo than normal.

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

Good question. I just played both recordings side by side to check, and with the exception the opening verse being a *tiny* bit more brisk in my rendition, they're the same. Also (FYI) the recording on the CD is 3:05, and mine is 3:15 with a few seconds of silence on either side. All that to say -- they're about the same tempo. :-)

[@kayleaparks6829]

Okay, thanks. I'm probably just slow. Though you did do an amazing job on the piano.

[@merpmcpoopypants8230]

3 likes and I’ll do the cover? I suck tho

Thanks! Glad you like it.

[@IamElizabethShoal]

Lovely lovely cover! Thank you so much for this! Question: Do you allow people to use your tracks for covers, if they give you credit?

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

BellaBounce yes!

[@fairy4477]

If you could write sheet music for this it would be absolutely amazing!

[@friendbeast4472]

[braces self for kristen ryan cover]

[@alextaylor8881]

AH SAME SHES SO CRINGEY

[@greytea9722]

LMAO SAAME

[@kaylamcook696]

I like her background instrumentals but I could do without her voice on a lot of the tracks.

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

Kayla M Cook the instrumentals arent hers

[@kaylamcook696]

Carlos Alejandro Alvarenga that makes sense actually.

[@macncheesetv9816]

YES!! BEST SONG

[@sheridandwyer]

Beautiful track as always! I adore your work! I was just wondering what musicals you know/would want requests for!

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

Thank you. Really appreciate it. Oh, it's hard to quantify that. I've done classics (Hello Dolly, Oklahoma!, Wizard of Oz, Oliver, Godspell, Fiddler on the Roof, Grease), some more recent musicals (Last Five Years, Into the Woods, Urinetown) and have played a lot of random selections from various shows over the years with vocal coaching students & through musical theatre classes I accompanied for. I enjoy learning by ear, which is why I've done this Dear Evan Hansen project, but obviously I can just whip something up quickly if I have the notation. Anyway, that was kind of a long answer to your question. Theatre has always been a side thing for me, as I am primarily a classical pianist, but I've been purposefully doing it in recent months because it makes me happy. :-)

[@kimberlylee192]

Is there any way at all you could do "Higher" from Allegiance? I''ve been waiting and waiting for months for someone to make an accompaniment to it so I could sing it but nobody has! I am in love with all of your karaokes and they're always in perfect timing. If you ever have time, please consider that song as well!

[@zorauwu6522]

Would you mind making a tutorial for this?? Also you play very well!

[@oliviastone8887]

Can you do something from Amelie

[@krizandkype55]

MY BRAIN HURTS WHEN I SING HIGH!!

[@xxunknownxx5305]

1:18 leaving this for my part

[@maxirudi6017]

Would it be possible for me to have the sheet music for this?I am think about possibly singing this for an audition.

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

Sorry, but I learned it by ear. I think you can buy it, though.

[@maxirudi6017]

Ok thank you so much though you say you learned it by ear same with me I can only learn piano from ear anyhow you are very talented keep up the good work.

[@nebuvalon]

im pretty sure the "ill just sit back while you run the show" and "ill shut my mouth and ill let you go" are switched

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

N E B U L A Yeah, someone else noticed that too. Oh well!

[@caitlinlewellyn]

Do you have sheet music for it? I want to sing this for an audition...

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

caitlinlewellyn I don't. :-( Learned it by ear!

[@TheCringyYoutuber]

It’s on the official DEH website under auditions I think

[@chloemaihickley8304]

would love to find some people to sing this with

[@donnieboi6409]

Do you think you can have the notes written down? I don’t mind if you can’t, just asking.

[@artiphobe6999]

Can u make sheet music PLEZ??

[@maziekate]

How do you teach yourself this by ear?? I wish I could do that!!

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

Mazie Kate It's a combo of unique life experiences, years of training, and time spent being curious. ☺️
